Barlow Informant: One Of the most
horrifying accidents that has ever occurred
In Barlow was that which befell the infant
child of George McCann (oolored) last Mon
day. The mother, while washing in the
yard, at the residence of her father, Prince
johnson, lighted the fire under the ciothe:
kettle and stepped across the street for 8
moment. During her absence the little one
is supposed to have gone near the kettle
when its clothes caught fire. The
shrieks OF the child startled every one il
the vicinity, but no one reached the scene
in time to extinguish the burning clothe.
or prevent the child from running into the
house and jumping into a pile Of loosC
clothing, thereby adding fuel to the flame
The building was In danger of being de-
stroyed by fire, but plenty of help being
soon at hand, it was saved; but the child
was burned to blister from head to foot,
and in some places the flesh was cooked.
Death ensued in a short time.
