BURNED TO DEATh-On Wednesday even
ing in Sacramento, Mrs. Hayden, wife of Al
exander NJ. Hayden employed in the office
of Wells, Fargo & Cos Express in that city
received injuries at her husbands residence
from which she died at FIVE o'clock Thursday
morning. From the afflicted husband, says
the Bee, we learn the facts connected with
the accident to have been as follows Mrs.
Hayden, in the discharge of her culinary du-
ties, had occasion to use vessel, the contents
of which are heated by means OF alcohol,
placed in a saucer surrounding the vessel
Supposing that the fluid was burnt out, Mrs
Hayden took the can and was about to pour
in more, when the Pickering flame burst out,
communicating with the contents OF the can,
and an explosion took place. The lady was
at once in blaze, and called for her husband
who seized blanket and endeavored to put
out the fire-but the hoops prevented 1t
her underclothes soon got on fire, and she
rushed into the open air where she called
out, kiss me husband before | die. Her
little girl, two years old, and her husband are
also badly burnt, but no danger is appre-
hended from their mi uries DIR. Morse was
at once sent for, but his efforts to save the
life of Mrs. Hayden were unavailing, and in
answer to the prayers of her husband, death
released her from her sufferings at day'break
this morning Mrs. lIayden's burns were
terrible to look at or hear of, and her suffer-
ings were of course intense. Had she lived,
she would have experienced years of pain,
and never have entirely recovered from the
effects of her injuries. She was lady be-
loved by all who knew her; of a sweet and
amiable disposition-a kind wife and mother.
She was but twenty two years of age, and
leaves two children. a girl two years old and
boy aged seven months.
