FATAL ACCIDENT BY FIRE.--Yesterday morning an
accident terminated fatally to Elizabeth Reed, Hunter-
street, New Kent-road. The deceased was in the act of
reaching something off the mantleshelf when the wind
from the door wafted her dress against the bars of the
grate, and it became ignited. Her screams attracted the
attention of the other lodgers, who rushed in, and hav-
ing extinguished the fire, conveyed her to Esther Ward,
Guy's Hospital, where she died shortly after her admis-
sion, being burnt nearly to a cinder.
