Attempting to Sacrifice Herself She Near
ly Burns an Almshouse.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 1.-The City
Almshouse came near being burned about 3
o'clock this morning. 1t appears that par
tally insane inmate named Isette Spinney,
aged about 6S, took her feather bed, with ali
her clothing but one dress, together with
quantity of kindlings, piled them on a chair in
the corner OF her room, and then set fire to
them. The smoke awoke a sleeper in the
apartment above, and when Overseer Shannon
and his assistants burst into the room the
flames had gained considerable headway. The
woman was in a nude state, being badly
burned about the stomach chest, head and
arms, and nearly suffocated. A delay of
few seconds more would have killed her. A
detail OF men was employed with buckets of
water to quench the flames, which was accom-
plished only after the apartment had been
badly scorched. On questioning the woman as
to the cause for the act she stated that as
Christ was crucified, the spirits had prompte
her to self.cremation, that being, she insisted,
her intention when she set the fire. 1t was a
narrow escape for the inmates of the Aims
House, of whom there are many
