EnGy's Horrible Death.

A dispatch from Dickinson station,

serious accident occurred at the resi-
dence of Mrs Il g. White, near this
place, at a late hour Tuesday night,
which caused the victim great pain,
and resulted fatally shortly atterward.
About o'clock Tuesday night Mrs.
White, who had complained OF feeling
unwell, retired, leaving Mrs. Ilempstcn
in charge of the house. She had vol
unteered to wait until the return OF
Mis-. Whites son, who had gone to
GAINESVILLE to vote. When Mrs. White
retired Mrs. Hempston was reading a
newspaper by candle light. Soon after
Mrs. White heard some one grooming
below, as if in pain. She FASTENED down
stairs, and TO her horror she saw Mrs.
Hempslon in blaze, and her chair, the
table and carpet also Oh fire She en-
deaYored to extinguish the flames, but
being unsuccessful in this, she cried
for help Mrs Whites son had just
returned. and was then in the stable
Hearing tie outcries OF his mother, he
ran into the house, aud taking the sui
fering lady by the arm, he dragged her
out upon the porch, and eXlinguShed
the flames. There was not shred of
clothing remaining upon the person OF
the unfortunate lady, and the skin was
almost roasted brown, and peeline from
the body. She fingered until about II
p m, when she expired, having s@fftred
great pain. She was conscious unit!
her death, and besought those around
her for relief Mrs. Hempston vas
subject to spasms, and ii is thought
that during an attack she upset the
cardlc, aud the paper which she was
reading becoming i2niled, communl-
Gated the flames 10 her clothes.

the danger which surrounded her and
her family, rushed 10 the aid Of the

She succeeded in rcscuiug five of them.
Almost exhausted she again entered the

started in the kitchen. The house, with

that her lover was engaged TO be mar
