LADY's HORRIBLE DEATH-A dispatch
from Dickinson station, Montgomery Co.,
Md., says: A serious accident occurred at
the residence of Mrs R. G. White, near this
place, at late hour Tuesday mig hit, which
caused the victim great pain, and resulted
fatally shortly afterward. About 8 o'clock
Tuesday night Mrs. White, who had COM
planned of feeling unwel, retired, leaving
Mrs. Hempston in charge of the house, She
had volunteered to wait until the return of
Mrs. Whites son, who had gone to Barns
vile to vote. When Mrs. White retired
Mrs. Hempston was reading newsraper
oy candle light. Soon after Mrs. White
heard someone grooming below, as if in
pain. She fastened down stairs. and to
her horror she saw Mrs Hempston in q
blaze, and her chair, the table and Garnet
also fire. She endeavorcd to extinguish the
! flames, but being unsuccessful in this, she
| cried for help. Mrs Whites son had lust
returned. and was then in the stable. Hear
ing the outcries OF his mother, he ran into
the house, and taking the suffering lady by
the arm, he dragged her out upon porch,
and extinguished the flames. There wasnot
a shred of clothing remaining upon the per-
son of the unfortunate lady, and the skin
was almost roasted brown, and peeling from
the body. She fingered until about II D. N. :.
when she expired having suffered great pain.
She was conscious until her death, and be-
sought those around her for relief. Mrs.
Hcmpston was subject to spasms, and it is
thought that during an attack she upset the
candle, and the paper which she was read
ing becoming ignitcd communicated the
flames to her clothes.
