Elizabeth City, Dec. 29—Mrs. J.W. Perry of Okisko, wife of Pasquotank Highway Commissioner Perry, had a narrow escape from death or serious injury between 7 and 8 o’clock Monday morning when the water-back of her kitchen range exploded, scattering the stove in a thousand fragments, blowing a large hole through the ceiling and shattering 20 panes of glass in various parts of the Perry residence. Yet Mrs. Perry, standing within two feet of the stove when the explosion occurred, escaped without a scratch.
