ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

 at Ansonia.

 Mary O'NeiI, Aged II, Fatally Burned
 at Ansonia.
 Mary O'Neil, aged II, was left alone at her home in Ansonia last evening. She was playing around the stove and her clothing caught fire. The child rushed out of the house, screaming with pain, her clothing dropping off of her in burn ing fragments. William Wallace, of Wallace 6 Sons, saw her and immedi- ately rushed to the spot. He tore off some of her clothing and smothered the flames, then summoned Dr Blodget. The case, so Dr Blodget says, is one of the worst of it's kind that he ever attended. The unfortunate childs body is covered with burns, and there is no hope of her recovery. The doctor says that the ex- terior injuries alone would prove fatal, and besides she inhaled the flames and is burned internally. Mary O'Neil has an interesting history, She and a | younger sister were rescued from death in the Johnstown disaster and were brought to Ansonia by relatives with whom they reside. Her parents were killed at the time of the flood. | Last Tuesday when physician called to attend John Weston, a North Lyme farmer, who injured one of his feet by stepping on a rusty nail, the doctor asked him to show his tongue. Weston | ran his tongue out of his mouth and when he drew it back he was unable to bring his teeth together, and he has not been able to close his jaws. His strength is gradually increasing. He has nc fever and bids fair to soon become 8 perfectly well man, but his jaws won't
 work. They are so set that he has the appearance of man who is enjoying 2
 hearty laugh. The unfortunate man is
 of course, unable to speak, but he man
 ages to communicate his wants to his
 friends through the medium of signs
 He partakes of food freely. He con sumes considerable meat and vegetables
 that have to be carefully prepared fo1
 him.
