BURLINGToN, w, Jan. "A serious ac-
cident happened to a Burlington coaching
party last night. by which one woman was
terribly injured and several other persons
were bruised. A family party started in q
tally-ho coach from here early in the even
ing for New Years ride to neighboring
town. Inside the coach were Mrs. Alex
ander Miller, her mother, Mrs. Revar, her
two sisters, and two small children. The
coach was driven by Mr.. Miller. Toe
night was very dark, and Mrs Reyar carr
ried kerosene lantern in her lap While
passing the Baxter farm, ON the W6llnton
road, the coach ran into the ditch and was
upset, breaking the lantern and scattering
the burning oil over the occupants of the
vehicle. The accident caused great con-
sternation, the flames spreading to the
trimmings Of the coach and to the clothing
of the terrified women and children, whose
screams and efforts to escape from the
burning coach made the scene a terrible
one. BY dint Of hard work the flames
we're subdued and the women and children
we're drawn out from the wreck Mrs
Revar was found to be shockingly burned,
the whole left side of her body being SO
badly injured by the flames as to cause
the skin to drop off Her recovery is
doubtless. The other occupants of the
coach were more or less seriously burned
and bruised, but none Of them were dan
oerouslv injured

NEWARK, Jan. 2.-Until today, when
detectives from Prosecutor Win6ellss Of.
fee took charge of the matter, no system
attic inquiry into the death of Mrs Garrity
had been begun. That the criminals were
acquainted with the old womans mode Of
life and were familiar with the rumOFa
that she boarded money in her house, Is
evident from the manner in which they
prepared to commit the crime, and from
the way in which they searched the part
of the house in which she lived. That
they were men not well known in East
Newark is apparent, or they would Heces-
sarIly have been recognized on their way
to the widows home, in the saloon oppo-
site, where they drank, or during the hour
Immediately preceding the crime; which

place, waiting for an opportunity 10 do
the murder and robbery. These latter
facts apply under the generally accepted
theory that the two men VINO were seen
