BURNED TO DEATH.

injuries I'm Philadelphia.

@hJuAA ~ AhAihdoApnih.
Rebecca Cook, a resident Of this city,
d led at the home Of her sister, No. 1140
South Twentieth street, Philadelphia. at
ii o'clock last evening, from the effects
of severe burns which she received
about two weeks ago.
Miss Cook was on Wait TO her sister
at the above location, and started two
weeks last Friday evening to 60 down
into the dark cellar with lighted lamp
in her hand.
On entering the cellar way she tripped
on loose board and fell to the bottom
of the stairs. The lamp was broken in
the fall, and the oil igniting. set Miss
Cooks clothing on fire.
The girl did not see that her clothes
were in a blaze at first, because her at
tention was distracted by severe cash
on her right wrist, made by a piece OF
the broken lamp When she did notice
the FIRE she started to go up stairs by
another stairway, only to find that
the door at the top was locked
BY this time she was mass Of fame and
realizing her terrible position, sh'
screamed for help Her cries summoned
to her aid some paper hangers who wer'
working 10 the house. They extinguisheC
the flames but the girl was terribly anC
fatally burned
The deceased was about II years of age
and was daughter of the late Solomon
Cook, for years foreman at the Harlan
Hollingsworth Companys yard.
Miss Cook will be buried at Old Swede'
churchyard
