Gle was walking along Seventh street be-
tween Clay and Leigh streets she met five
small negro boys coming from tie opposite

The Result Of Burns Received while
Dressing Before an Open Crate.

The wife OF Colonel II. Coalter Cabell
received burns about y O'Clock Yesterday
morning from which she died shortly be.
fore II o'clock last night.
She had Just arisen from bed, and was
preparing TO dress.
II Is supposed that she went up to the
mantel for some article, and that I'm turn
ing away from IL her night-dress was
switched into the flame, which was burn
ing brightly from freshly-made fire in
an open CRATE.
She doubtless at first attempted to put
out the flames by tearing off her clothes.
She made no outcry, and Colonel Cabell,
who had but shortly before gone into the
adjoining room, was not made aware Of
her condition until he heard her moaning.
He then rushed into the chamber and used
all possible eXertions to subdue the flames,
at the same time calling for his son Aston,
who came to his assistance rs quickly as
possible. They put out her burning clothes
and hair and also several articles OF furni-
ture-lOunge, curtains, carpets, &c.-which
they found on fire.
DIR. II. Wythe Davis and DIR. Nalle, who
are near neighbors OF Colonel Cabell, who
resides at No. 106 west Grace, were sent
for and dressed the unhappy lady's burns,
and administered such drugs rs would
stimulate her and ease her pains. They
regarded 1t as an almost hopeless case from
the first. Mrs. Cabell was quite conscious
up to O'Clock, II not for some time after
wards, and knew that she had received
very serious injuries. Not long before IL
O'Clock last night she quietly breathed her
last.
Mrs. CabelPs maiden name was Aston.
She was member of the Aston family so
distinguished in South Carolina, and was
lady well fitted by all the endowments Of
nature to grace the home circle and lead in
society.
She was well known to thousands who
were in the habit Of visiting the Virginia
springs.
Her death, so sudden. so sad, will east a
shadow upon Il large circle here, and will
be immeasurable loss to her husband and
to her children, four sons and one
dauph.er.)

hl'nhVND ' As lis iCCts
TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Will you please state through the col
umns Of your paper that the failure Of
some OF the fire-alarm stations to register
the alarm turned in Tuesday from Station
IS was due to the fact that the tire-aarm
wires were crossed by telephone wires
falling on them. The telephone wires are
placed above the fire-alarm wires in great
many places in the city. and as they pass
from housetop to housetop are necessari-
ly insecurely fastened very often. We are
troubled after every storm with similar ac-
cidents, and unless some provision is made
to remedy this evil we cannot rely upon
the accuracy OF the tire-alarm. In this
case the circuit was clear within half
hour after the alarm was turned in.
