ricr Of Saturday last, contains the details of a
distressing accident which happened to Mrs.
James l.anman, widow of the late Judge Ian

one corner Of her apron, accidentally brought
in contact with the glowing Goals, took fire,
and before she was aware of it, cotton shawl
and other articles of her dress were in flames
Her advanced age and infrm health and
strength precluding the use of means on her
own part to extinguish the fire, she rang the
bell, and then starting from her room, made
her way as fast as possible down two flights of
stairs to the basement, where she was met by
some of the family. By this time the upper
part Of her body was envelopcd in flames.
One of the servant girls had sdficicn, pres
encc of mind to catch up her own dress. and
by throwing it about the person of Mrs. L.,
attempted to smother the flames. 4 colored
man then got to Mira. L.. with bucket Of wa
ter, which he dashed over her, and thus the
fire was finally pu, out.
Mrs. Lanman died on Saturday morning
from the effects Of the accident, aged 20 She !
was the second wife of Judge Lanman, and
leaves four children to lament her loss. One
