FATAL COAL OIL ACCIDENT.
A YOUNG WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH By
THE ACCIDENTAL EXPLOSION OF
mar nTr Tanfp


Mary Lapierre, n young woman about
nineteen years Of age, who was an en-
ployee in Pusey Bros cotton mil, ct
Thirteenth and Walnut streets, went to
her home, last evening, and short ly after
eight o'clock sat down to the table to
partake Of cheering cup Of tea.
A coal oil lamp was. standing on ths
table, harmless enough in its appear
ance, but destined soon to become =
dread messenger of death.
By some unfortunate movement this
lamp was overturned and fell directly IN
the lap Of the unfortunate girl.
In an instant the non-eIplssive ~
compound with which the lamp was
streams, speedily enveloping her form
in a mass of flame.
Her father, mother and sister Sophie
rushed to her assistance. and by throw
ing pieces OF carpet, coats and such az
ticles. around the form Of the burning
girl, they succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, though not until she had been
terribly burned from head TO foot.
Medical assistance was promptly sent
for, but it could do nothing elective for
the poor victim, who fingered in great
agony until about midnight, when death
ended her sutierings
Her father, mother and sister sustain
ed severe though not serious burns on
their hands and arms in their efforts to
extinguish the flames.
The explosion created an alarm of FIRE.
but there was no occasion for the servi-
ces Of the Fire Department. which very
promptly responded.
The house in which this sad accident
occurred is No. 1914 Walnut street, IN
what is known as "Pusey's Row"
