TERRIBLE BURNING FLUID ACCIDENT
-Horrid DeoM. At York, Pa, on We'd
nesday evening, the dress Of a girl named
Henrietta Mate, aged fifteen or sixteen
years, took fire from the explosion of a
fluid lamp, in the house, of Annie Budd.
She managed to get out of the house, on
the pavement, when the air increased the
flames, which illuminated the street,
causing an alarm of fire. The Pennsylva-
Man says:
Mr.. George Ropp and other gentle
men ran to rescue the suffering girl, who
was being consumed rapidly. They tore
the remaining clothing from her body,
when horrible, Notwithstanding sight
was presented. From her knees to hel
head her flesh was completely black, and
full of blisters.-Much of her head has
been burned bare of hair, while her face
and eyes are so blistered or swollen that
she cannot see, and her tongue protrudes
from her mouth.
"m leaving the house, she passed
through four doors, brushing past d
cradle, in which slept child, whose eye
brows, &c, were singed. In feeling lol
the front door, the girls fingers came in
contact with the wall, the finger marks
were plainly discernble. On the pave
ment she sprang at II lady, the flames
reaching far above her head. exclaiming
MY God! help nen 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that some of the flesh on the
poor victims body was roasted black
About half-past seven o'clock Thursday
evening, thirty hours after the accident,
she died"
