foot. The blazing oil flashed over her
person, enveloping her in solid mass OF
flames. Her clothes we're burned en-
tirely from her body, and she presented
. most pitiabls sight.
Mrs. Wright died in six hours after
the accident. thus being relieved Of
most excrucisting agony. II was one of
the most depforable accidents that has
happened for Some time, and serves to
show that great care should be taken in
the use OF oil stoves.

by his relatives of stealing his own rife.
