New Castle, Aug. 6. The citizens in
the vicinity Of Front and Harmony
streets were startled yesterday after
noon about o'clock with the cries Of
murder" and fire. Upon investi-
cation the cries were found to originate
in the home of Mrs. Charles V. Wise,
and the cause of the trouble was an
accident to the coored servant, Margie
Ambrose. The girl had started to fill
the tank of the gasoline stove while the
burners were lighted, and set fire TO
her clothing. She rushed up the stairs
and through the different rooms with
Mrs. Wise at her heels, who tried to
tear the clothing off the girl. Mrs.
Wise finally succeeded in tripping the
burning girl and tearing her burning
clothing Off, but not until the girl had
received burns which will probably
prove fatal. The left arm and side and
stomach are badly burned. The arm
looked like piece Of raw beef and no
skin was left upon it. DR.. Black rem
dered aid to alleviate the pains of the
burned girl, and after wrapping her in
a counterpart Mr.. Feldman and Dr.
Black drove with her to Farnhurst.
