Nor DEAD.-Our informant was mistaken
as to the condition of the negro girl Lizzie. who
was so badly burned at Mr.. George w. Toler's

from her on Saturday afternoon, ahe was not
dead, but under treatment at the Hospital
corner of Broad and twenty-second streets,
where no efforts will be spared to restore
her to health. As the particulars of her injuries
have never been given, we now publish them She
was directed to 20 into the second story of Mr..
Toers residence to light the gas, aud for that pur.
pose took small fluid lamp and a match 10 her
hand. On getting into the room she lit the lamp
with the match. and then lit the gas, after which,
though positively ordered not to do 80, she got the
fluid can and began to i'll the hand lamp, the wick
then burning Of course the fluid In the can took
fire and Immediately exploded, throwing the burp.
and lot of clothing. Her screams soon attracted
attention, and after being severely burned, was
saved from instant death. Had the servant girl
obeyed Mrs Toler's orders, the accident would
not have happened
