not before the little sufferer was shock
ingly burned about the face, breast, arms
and body, down to the very feet, inhal-
ing the flames and rendering her case
most likely fatal one. The boy John
was badly burned while trying to save
his sister.
Martha, the baby, 1S months old, was
lying on the floor, near the stove, when
the explosion took place, and the child's
head and left side were fearfully burned
and bllstered by the burning oil. EN-
ma, another little girl eight years old,
in her endeavors TO smother the flames
had her hands severely burned. None
of the other four were injured in the
least. Drs. A. l.. Alstead and Jacobs,
of this city, was summoned to the scene
and did all in their power to relieve the
unfortunate little sufferers, but their
efforts to save the baby and the six year
old, Ella, will probably be of no avail.
The two children were pronounced to be
in dangerous condition late last night
and the impression was that the baby
and Ella would not survive their inju-
ries till this mOrning.-Pdtriot Of rem.
