A Young Lady Frightfully Burned BY tho
Escaping Vapor Fuel. q L
WAsHlSoToN, d. c., Oct. IL. Miss June
Holmes, beautiful young lady, aged II
years, was fatally burned at her house,
No. 1925 Eighth street northwest, yester.
day afternoon. The young lady. is the
daughter OF Mrs. J:SA. Holmes, Of the. bu.
reau OF education, who is now in Louisville
in charge OF the educational exhibit at the
exposition there. Miss June was living
with her grandmother, Mrs. J. B.. Arcli.
bald, at the above address, and had cou.
troll Of the household affairs. + She re-
turned home from the high school, which
sheTattends, shortly after o clock yestcr-
day afternoon, and began preparing for
the family dinner. The meals are pre-
pared upon a patent vapor stove, and Miss
Holmes attempted to light.it. IN doing SO
some Of the fluid dripped from the stove
to the floor and ignited. The young lady
rashly attempted to cxtipguish the flame
with calico apron she wore. Tue. apron
caught fire, and in an instant the flames
completely covered her. She ran scream-
ing out into the hall, where one Of her
relatives attempted to throw blanket
about her. The young lady was so much
frighte 1ed that she broke away and DASH
ed out into the street, the flames, famed
by the wind, rising TO her head and burn
ing her hair completely of. She ran for
about 100 feet, and the neighbOrs alarmed
ut her cries, ran after her: One OF them
caught up a bucket OF water and dashed
it t&oyer her. This only seemed to give
new life to the fire. The shrieks ;oi the
sufferer were terrible and she rushed about
among her pursuers, eluding them, wiring
ing her hands and screaming. One neigh
bor brought ;out n blanket. Ia colored
man caught. 1t and threw it !: about the
young Ila'iy, envcloping. her, and extin-
gushing the flames. Then half a dozen
persons caught up the. sufferer and bore
her rapidly into the house. - s!-.s .27
: She WAS taken, to her; room, and when
laid upon the bed had tainted. DR.. Winter
was called in and applied cooling lotions,
but she remained very weak, and there is
but little hope OF her recovery: The en-
tire body Of Miss Holmes was covered
with blisters, and :all her beautiful long
hair and her eyebrows were gone. 4 When
she was taken into the house her, clothes
were completely burned Of, only; few
burnt rags remaining Mrs. Holmes was
telegraphed for and will return to-day. 4.

. ~ Little Scattering. 2 I. w
COLUMBUS, Oct. l5.-Interest Z in the
election has not abated. Notwithstanding
the Republicans kept crowds in thestreets
until daylight, there-are still crowds, but
Of n different character. There are busi-
ness men who arc discussing the result in
aimostE animated manner. Nothing has
been received to change the estimates
sent last night. Complete returns are
in .from.twenty counties and reports were
never 80 prompt before. This indicates
few scratched tickets. a. good deal OF
mystery surrounds tho Prohibition vote.
Upon this and the Withholding Of reports
from a sfew counties the Democrats base
the. hope OF cutting down the Republican
majority below. fifteen thousand. !; The
contest for Congress in the Third district
is very close, but as Morey, the Republican
candidate, r,lnsahead Of his sticket l32 votes
in Clernont county, which makes change
of over 500 votes in favor OF the Republi-
can, his friends claim his election. The
indications are that johnson, Republican
candidate for Supreme Judge, has a ma
jority in Hamilton county Of; 5000, and
that he has run ahead OF other candidates,
Notwithstanding the opposition Of the
liquor interest. II this is confirmed it
will show that the temperance Democrats
scratched their own candidate and voted
for him. Fl y s u .lt55
q The results in the Congressional dis
tricts are probably as follows: Democrats
elect Lefevre in the Fifth, Hill I in the
Sixth, Seney in the Seventh, Cultivate in
the. Thirteenth, Wilkins in the Fifteenth
and Foran in the Twenty.first.' The Re-
publicans elect, Butterworth in the First,
Brown in the Second, Morey in the Third,
Sinks III the Fourth, Little in the Eighth,
Cooper in the Ninth, Powers in
the Tenth, Hart ! in the Eleventh,
