BUTLER, Dec. ga young man named
George Ransell, who was engaged as a
pumper on the McElwee farm, three miles
southeast of Millerstown, was probably
fatally scalded at o'clock this morning,
while lying alongside of boiler which he
had in charge. The rope attached 70 a
heavy iron ball which held the safety valve
broke at the hour named, and young Ranselrs
body was instantly enveloped with steam, and
his clothes saturated with hot water.
He sprang to his feet and made repeated
efforts to get to the door of the engine mouse,
but failing in this, and exhausted by the pain
and inhalation of steam, he laid down on the
floor with no expectation of ever getting out
again. He had lain down nearer the entrance
than he supposed, and, catching several oreatns
of air. coming in under the door, he made an
other desperate attempt for his LIE, ana sue
ceeded in forcing the door open. BY this time
the body of steam had been blown ont OF the
boiler, and when he weakly crawled BACK In
order to sound the alarm whistle, there was Just
enough steam to raise faint sound.
Not satisfied that the alarm would waken any
one at that hour of the night he started out for
his boarding house, quarter of mile away.
When he had travelled about half that distance
he fell down from sheer exhaustion, and cried
out for help. Fortunately, his landlord had

lar sound that there was something wrong he
hastened in the direction of the Dollerhouse.
When he reached Rlnsell the man was SO faint
that he could scarcely speak.
He was carried into :he house, where DIR. De-
Wolfe. of Millerstown. dressed his wounds.
The skin on his arms. abdomen and legs was
burned off the flesh, and adhered to his clothing
when it was taken away from him. His tongue
was in the same condition, and it is quite GER
tain his lungs have suffered in the same man
ner. All that skill could do was done for him,
but it is feared he will die, as he is now suffer-
ing terribly.

An Informal Meeting of the Promoters
Discusses the Interesting Scheme.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Sat an informal
meeting of cricketers, held at the Penn Club
to-day, the projec: to form a new league CON-
posed of teams representing Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Pi;tsburg. Baltimore and posi-
bly, Chicago, was discussed at some length, the
sentiment being strongly in favor of the plan.
A few of those present held the opinion that
should the league be formed it would be we'll
TO have Philadelphia and New York repre-
sented by either two or three club teams in
stead of one eleven, arguing that should such
action be taken greater amount of interest
would be manifested in the contests.
The feeling was general, however, that the
Halifax cup series of matches failed to create
general interest, and that outside matches OF
some Importance were needed to do SO. OF
course a charge for admission would be made
to witness these games. and the fund thus de-
rived might be expended in sending represent
ative teams to the distant cities. The meeting
being of an informal character. no decided
action was taken, but as the Central Committee
is to meet on Monday next il was decided to
bring the whole matter before that body for
further consideration,

Goddard is the Barrier champion, and tiger.
like fighter. He is yet deficient in science. but
his rushing battle, according to Peter Jackson,
is hard to stay.
The Australian first came into prominence
at Broken HILL the great silver field of New

Sullivan after desperate battle, which lasted
IL rounds. Sullivan displayed wonderful game
ness. He next met Charles Dunno. who quit in
the fourteenth round. Then he met NJ. Buck,

Babe to Death.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
NEWARK, O., Dec. S.-The third murder case
in the last five years called in the court be-
fore Judge Buckingham this morning. In this
case the defendant is a woman, charged with
deliberately strangling her infant bab' to
death. The woman is Mrs. Elizabeth Honnold,
a widow of Norwich, this State. The woman
had been domestic at the home of c. Osborns,
of Jacksontown. this county she having called
there in April last and solicited work. White
there the child was born, and wac furnished
with clothing by the family and neighbors.
When the child was about months old she de-
parted, taking the child with her. She re-
manned in the Baltimore and Ohio depot all
night, and was seen there by several parties
with the child. She boarded the train, and
shortly after the body of her babe was found in
the Licking river. She wns arrested. and it was
then seen that she was suffering from mental
weakness. During the preliminary trial she
sat unmoved by the array of witnesses against
her. The trial will last some days, the defense
pleading insanity.
