 l A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TO A BRANFoRD LADY.
 Mrs. Dennis Rogers of Branford met with
 a very serious accident Sunday night, which
 may result in her death. Last evening she I was still alive. She is about sixty years old and is crippled in one limb, therefore she cannot walk very easily. She was ascending l a flight of stairs in her house and carried a lighted lamp in one hand. Whether the lamp exploded or whether Mrs. Rogers ! tripped on the stairway and overturned the
 lamp in her fall is not known. She was
 found, however, at the foot of the stairway, gradually burning to death.
 | SHOCKING FIND. ' Is | ing out the cellar of her home on Howe ave-
 nue, Shelton, Saturday morning, found a l brown paper parcel hanging on the wall. She | opened and nearly tainted as it's contents
 fell to the ground. They proved to be the petrifed right forearm of a human being, | evidently from it's size of @ man. MT. Val ! entine examined the arm and found that it l must have been severed below the elbow l joint. The finger nails were all perfect, and l the flesh still adhered to the bones, but was l shrivelled to mummy like state. He took the arm and had it buried by some men who were making an excavation near his resi- l dence.
 Messra. McCarthy and Sliney, two young men who were passing the house and noticed a fire inside, broke down the door which was 1 locked and quickly put out the flames. Dr. 1 Gaylord was immediately called, but she re- l mained unconscious for several hours and 1 when she did come to her senses she was too
 weak to explain anything about the accident. l There IS little hope of her recovery. Her l clothing was nearly all burned from her body ] and her breast was very badly burned. The flames were slowly making their way l from her waist down when her rescuers broke ! in and discovered her. Her right arm suf- I fered much from the fire and all the hair on her head was burned of, also one ear. The | other ear was partially destroyed. Muscular Rheumattsm Cured. Henry O. Archibald, Lyndhurst, Bergen Co.,, N. J.. writes:
 I have beena martyr to rheumatism, which affects me in the back and over each lung I I was afraid that I had consumption, but up- ! on examination of my lungs they were found to be sound.
