resulting in the death of Clara, a child three
years OF age. In the absence of her mother
for few moments from the room the child
got possession of some matches and ignitted
her clothes, which we're entirely burned from
her body. Physicians we're called and all
aid possible was rendered but the little suf-
ferer passed away after six hours of terri
bic agony. The bereayed parents have the
sincere sympathy of many friends in this
hour OF sorrow.

WORST OF THE SEASON.
Pennsylvania and Virginia Buried
in Snow.


READING, Pa, March 2S.-As a result
of last nights snow storm large sec
ton of country hereabouts is snow
bound to-day. The early morning
trains from Wilmington. OH the Viii
mington & Northern railroad, which
became stuck in seven-foot snowdrift
near Waynesburg junction, did not
reach Reading until late this
afternoon. A number of heavy engines
were used to get it out. The mail stages
between Lancaster county towns and
this city did not reach here at all to-day,
the roads being filled up with drifts six
to eight feet deep. The country west
of Reading for twenty miles is covered
with fifteen inches OF snow. In Leb-
anon CITY there was a fall of from
twelve TO fifteen inches, and communi-
cation by road in many places is cut off,
Mails are being sent on horseback. The
melting snow is causing the Schuylkill
river to rise.
MARTINSBURG, w. Va, March o.
The worst snow storm that has ever oc-
Cured in this section of country has
just closed. 1t lasted forty hours, and il
is supposed that about six feet of snow
has fallen. Yesterday it melted almost
three feet deep Reports indicate that
it was general throughout eastern por-
ton of this state and Virginia.
WINCHESTER, Va, March 2S.-The
snow storm still continues here. 1t has
been railing fast for thirty-eight hours,
and has reached a depth of over two
feet, and in some places nearly three
feet. Country roads are impossible. II
is the SevereSt storm for thirty years.
