A Mosr REMARKABLE CASUALTY On Mon
day Of last week, says the St. Louis Republi-

casually so singular in some Of its features
that no one would have believed beforehand
that such Thing was possible, The subject
was Mr.. ]. j Kelly, nurserynmn, who for the
past twenty years has lived near Webster, on

lot of hot bricks in the bottom ofthe wagon
and covered them with straw When about
midway between Webster and kirkwood, the
straw burst into blaze and set fire TO The
wagon. Mr.. Kelly's size and weight pre-
vented him from getting out speedily, unless
| by the dangerous feat Of jumping out, and he
attempted TO put ont the flames without leay-
ing the wagon, and in doing so his clothing
caught fire. He then got out, and instead of
attending to put the FIRE out on his burning
clothing, ran 10 the horse's head and seized
the bride to prevent his running away lie
stood in that position, apparently dumbfonnd-
ed until he was so badly burned that tits con-
sdered impossible for him TO recover. A
4 neighhor passing on the road found him, and
after extinguishing his burning clothing, con-
veyed him to his home near Webster.
