BURNED TO DEATH,
Sad and Fatal Accident Due to Gu,
line.

Sad and Fatal Accident Due to Gaso-
line.
Between and o'clock yesterday after
noon there was a sad and exciting scene
enacted on the hill on Delaware avenue
between K and L streets, when Mrs. Emma
Ramie, enveloped in flames, ran into the
street and then into two of her neighbors
houses for assistance. AS in a majority of
cases where people are fatally burned, gas
olne was the cause, and serious were
Mrs. Ramies injuries that she died about
II o'clock. The unfortunate's husband.
Richard r. Ramie, is a wagon driver, and
he was at work when the horrible fatality
happened. Where the Ramies live there is
hill some feet above the sidewalk, and a
group of houses there are occupied by peo-
Pile who have to work hard for their living.
Mrs Ramie had started to get dinner
ready, and was endeavoring to fill the gas
oline stove it is said, while one of the
burners was lighted. Some of the COM
bustible fluid was spilled and in an instant
the damage was done. There was a big
blaze in the room and the unfortunate wo-
mans clothing soon ignfted Her little
daughter was in the room at the time, and
she ran to the front door and called to the
neighbors telling what was the matter.
But Mrs Ramie, who had been unable to
check the flames, rushed out of the house
and entered the home Of Mrs. Hannah.
From there she ran to the house Of John
Gleason. There Me- Michael Hazzed as
sisted Mr.. Gleason, and with difficulty they
succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
Then Mrs. Ramie's clothing had been
burned almost off her body, and the poor
woman was suffering intense agony. She
did not lose consciousness through all her
sufferings, and was able to recognize her
husband when he was summoned home.
Soon after her husband reached the house
the diving woman was taken to Providence
Hospital in the ambulance In Mr.. Han
mans house the furniture was slightly dam
aged while in Mr.. Ramie's house the smoke
did more damage than the blaze. An alarm
were extinguished before the engines ar
rived. This morning Coroner Hammett in
vestigated the case. but as the affair was
purely accidental an inquest was deemed
unnecessary.

NEVER KICK A SHARK.
So Avoid the Disastrous Expert
eHce of a Florida Fisherman.

Charles F. Byrne, while casting his
net in the surf on North Beach, near
St. Augustine, Fla, the other morn
ing, was annoyed by the playfulress
Of q twelve-foot Shark. which be-
came a little more familiar than is
customary or conducive to a profit
able haul Of fat mullet. and Byrne
kicked him. This brought tie shark
about, to learn why he was so dis
cOurteosly treated, and while he was
passing the net caster Byrne took
hold of the monsters tail, which
brought him at the port tack. AS
Byrne's left thigh happened to be
near his jaws, he took the member
in his teeth. 1t was then that Byrne
ure, and his wild efforts drove the
shark off a short distance, when it,
liking the taste Of fisherman's blood,
made another attack, and took such
a hold as to throw Byrne off his
feet. Byrne called to his companion
on the shore, Edgar Pomar, to come,
which the latter fastened to do. The
shark no sooner saw the new enemy
than he left Byrne's leg and circled
for Pomar. This gave Byrne the
chance of his life. for in circling
the shark had to go around Byrne.
AS it did so, Byrne felt the rasping
of its fin under his arm and on
his back. Pomar and a man named
Miller. who wanted to see a shark,
stampeded for the shore and got out
Of the way of the Infatuated beast of
the deep, for it was, in truth, fur
iously maddened by the loss Of it's
prey and dashed the shallow water
and sand into spray.
Byrne reached the shore and, al
though bleeding freely from his
wounds, got over to his home in st.
Augustine in excellent spirits, but
weakened from loss Of blood, and
thankful that a breaker ran inshoTe
instead Of out TO sea, for had the
first been the case the monster
would have carried him to deep wa
ter. AS it was. the incoming break
or rolled both man and shark into
less than three feet of water, and
the shark had 10 bite while on it's
side. Even then it cut fourteen fear
full gashes in Byrne's left leg, the
wounds reaching from below the
knee to near the hip. DR.. Lawrence
Alexander has the shark bitten and
Thanksgiving man in care, ard if
he keeps quiet for a couple of weeks
the chances are that he will not be
crippled.
June 50 the Times-Union gave an
account of an attack by a shark
on Ersl1ine H. Reynolds while bath
ing on the south beach. In that
case the shark bit the leg on the
calf when the monster was SWIM
ming on it's belly, and let go its hold
as it's jaws closed. Reynolds was
standing, when the shark took him,
nearly to his shoulders in water.
Byrne was standing casting his net
in about three feet of water, so as to
net the mullet as they are carried in
on the surf. He molested the shark
Otherwise, it is thought by fisher
men, who very frequently have the
mosters at their sides and to their
rear, that the shark would not have
made the first attack, for the mon
sters. apparently being too lazy to
hunt food, hang around, tramp

ROSE WHIST PARTY.
Novel and Pretty Idea for u
Pleasant Social Evening.

Any novel idea which will help to
solve that difficult question Of how
to entertain a number of guests is
always a welcome suggestion and
one very pretty form Of entertain
ment is a rose whist party.
To begin with, the invitations are
sent out on pale pink paper, and
announce that rose whist is to be
the order of the evening. The game
played is that familiar one of pro-
gressive whist, with the exception that
each player keeps account for her
self of all the red cards which are
taken, and nothing else is counted
When the time is up the fortunate
player who holds the most red cards
takes the first prize, while the one
who has the least gets the ''booby."
The prizes should all be something
pertaining to the rose. Numerous
articles can be thought of, such as
rose bowls, rose candlesticks, rose
sachets, bottles of rose perfume,
bonbonnieres with candied rose
leaves, etc. Upon each table are
placed four full-grown La France
or Merret roses, with long stems
and green leaves, as well as a dainty
dish filled with pink and white bon
bons. Each player also has a tally
card Of pink paper and pink pen
Gil attached for keeping the score.
The ices served are pink and white,
and the supper table should be
gracefully draped with pink ribbons,
with rose petals streWn about on
the cover. In fact, roses in pro-
fusion should be everywhere and the
lights should be softly shaded in
pink.
This can be made a very pretty
form of amusement, and ones own
ingenuity could suggest many more
features to make it a great success.
It would be an added attraction if
the hostess were dressed in a pink
gown.

tried to pull back, and the wrangler
himself seemed to think that some
thing unusual was in progress. The
bear gathered in the slack of the lariat
with one paw and thrust it behind him,
and with the other held fast the strug-
Cling horse. Then he began to haul
away again, just as you or L would if
we liked water enough to draw it out
of a deep we'll on a hot day with a
rope and bucket.
The Wrangler saw that it was only a
question of time when he and his horse
would be dragged close up within reach
of those dreadful claws.
"I can't stand this strain much

and, never having witnessed anything

still on my horse and waited to see
what would happen.
See here yelled the wrangler, who
was then within ten feet of the grizzly,
I've got enough. Get ready to ride for
your life, and with that he whipped
out his knife and slashed the lariat.
Ride, you fool, rider was the next
thing L heard, and 1 saw him digging
his spurs into his horse, and naturally
followed his example.
''Well, gentlemen, we rode like light

Bruggemann's testimony was sub

MCHugh were roorling together at
the Henderson house, which is near
the brewery owned by BruGge-

the night referred to, McHugh and
Scott induced him, so he says, to
hitch up one of the brewery horses
and take them out to do some steal
ing. They first went to CorcOran's
house. Bruggemann was left with
the horse some distance from the
house, while the other two went to
a clothes line and took a lot Of stuff
therefrom. They then went to
SCOTS house, and left Bruggemann
with the horse the same as before,
while the other two went in. They
were gone about an hour, and
finally returned with lot of goods,
