A YoUNG LApY's TERRIBLE DEArH.-
Miss Lucy +. Cole, 23 years old, who
lived with her brother-in-law, Mr. g. o.
Powell, No. l9l Mulberry street, was
severely burned on Saturday night, about

ing only famed heflames. Her screams
attracted the attention of Mr.. Powell,
who was in the second story OF the

the aid of some colored people who
came into the yard succeeded in putting
out The flames, but not until nearly every
vestage OF clothing had been burnt
from the young ladys body.-She had
been subject to fainting spells, and the
family think she was taken sick aud
knocked the lamp over, thus causing
her clothing to take fire; also that she
was badly burned when she revived or
else she would have given the alarm
sooner. DR.. A. T. Bell was summoned,
but she was past medical aid when he
arrived. Mr.. Powell had both OF lis
hands badly burned in his efforts TO put
out the fire. Coroner Ogle went to the
house yesterday morning, in company
with Lieut.. Cadwalider and after hear
ing the statement of the family declined
holding an inquest. Miss Cole was
born in Frederick city, bat had lived IN
Baltimore with her father, Mr.. David
Cole, and married sister (Mrs. PowelD
