DEADLY LIQUID BLACkING.
Willard Lady Terribly Burned
Yesterday.
WAS POLISHING HOT STOVE WITH
NAPHTHA PREPARATION.

Substance Caught Fire Which Commu-
nicated to Her .Clothing--F Flames Ex-
tinguished With Aid of Neighbors-
Recovery Considered Doubtful
A terrible burning accident occurred
at Willard yesterday afternoon and as a
result an elderly lady now lies in criti-
cal condition.
About 2.30 O'Clock, Mrs. M. A.
Thrasher, woman about IS years of
Beach streets. started to black her
kitchen stove with a preparation in
which there was considerable naphtha,
and which is usei only on q cold stove.
There was hot fire in the stove at the
time, and Mrs. Thrasher, not being
much acquainted with the use of the
preparation, poured quantity on a rag
and commenced to rub the stove.
In an instant there was blaze, and
before Mrs. Thrasher realized her situa-
ton she was env sloped in flames. She
was alone in the house at the time, with
the exception of her daughters little
fifteen months old child, who was play
ing about the kitchen.
As soon as the child saw the flames it
ran towards It's grandmother. Mrs.
Thrasher's one thought was of the child,
and catching up rug she drove the
little one into the entry out of harm q
way ana then. opening the door rolled
tho rug about her and ran out screaming
to the neighbors for help.
Miss Lois Loveitt, who happened to
completely enveloped in flames and
catching Lold of the rug wrapped it
around her. at the same time rolling her
in the snow and throwing snow over her.
In this way the fire WAS soon ex-
tinguished, but not before Mrs. Thrasher
was badly burned about the body. arms
and limbs. The hands and arms were go
badly burned that the blood dripped from
them.
By this time several of the neighbors
had ran to Miss Loveitt's assistance, and
Mrs ThrasheI WAS carried into the house
and messenger dispatched at once for
DR.. Syphers at South Portland. The
doctor soon arrived and did everything
possible to alleviate the sufferings of the
poor woman. Upon examination it was
found that the clothing was nearly all
burned off, with the exception of heavy
tight fitting wooden undershirt, which
probably saved the woman's life, as the
body was not burned very deep as near
as the doctor could learn at the time.
When the clothing was removed the
skin peeled off in several places on the
body, but the limbs were burned quite
badly. Strange to say Mrs. Thrasher' s
face was not even scorohed, although the
eyelashes were somewhat singed, and it
is thought she did not inhale any of the
flame.
At late hour last night she was undor
the influence of opiates, and although
suffering intense plan, nr. Syphers
thinks there is some chance for her ro-
ooyery if she is not burned internally.
The baby was not burned in the least,
although some of it's front hair was
slightly signed.
The prompt action of the neighbors in
throwing the blazing rugs out doors
probably saved the house from burning,
as in few minutes the kitchen would
have been in flames. The Willard Hose
company were promptly on the scene,
but their services were not needed, except
to clear the house from smoke.
