LATER


AKRON, Ohio, Dec. 14.-At birthday
celebration in the Buchtel college last
evening thirty lady students we're gath
cred in the society's library building.
They were entertained by eight, who
wore masks and loose flowing garments
with high hats, also covered with cot
ton. The hat of Miss Aurelia Steig-
mier OF Utica, N. u, caught fire and
communicated to the entire party.
Every effort was made to save the
young ladies whose screams we're heard
throughout the building and whose
blazing costumes seemed to fill the
room. Lulu Stcigmier, OF Attica, o.,
and May Steyes, Of Clifton Springs, N.
T., who were the worst burned OF the
victims. died early this morning. Both
were burned almost beyond recognition.
Miss Steyes was one of the most beauti-
fal and most popular students in col
lege. Not spot on her body, except
the scles of her feet, ecaped the fire.
