H4.
 NEW YORK, Dec. PA large gathering of Sunday school scholars and friends of the Presbyterian church assembled Christmas afternoon in Academy Hall to partalze of Christmas dinner and distribute presents to the scholars An elegant Christmas tree was erected on the stage, and, at the proper mo- nlent the curtain rose and Santa Claus made his appearance. In passing before the tree his wig, composed of long cotton, acoiden- tally took fire, and in an instant he was en- veloped in flame. In this condition he leaped down among the audience, who, pan ic stricken, fled, and in their haste to get down the stairs trampled on each other. One man had presence of mind enough to wrap his coat around the burning victim and force him down upon the floor, thus saving his life and that of many others for at that in- stant another young man named George Smedes, in throwing overcoat over the burning Santa Claus, struck a lamp over- head which came down upon him with 8 crash, spilling the oil over his whole person and also setting him on fire. A fierce and desperate fight ensued to save his life, and the flames were finally subdued, but not be fore he was badly, but, it is hoped. not fatal ly, burned.
