MRS. MARY RANOLO AND HER SON
ARE PERHAPS FATALLY
BURNED
BY THE EXPLOSION OF A LAME
IN THEIR GROVE STREET HOME 1T
WILL BE A DARK CHRIST
MAS.
ANOTHER TROLLEY ACCIDENT,
Dennis Tracy, of Fauquier Street,
Is Crushed on Payne
Avenue.

At 1880 o'clock last night the resi-
dents in the vicinity of 6e2 Grove street
were startled by hearing a series of
being that Of a woman in great pain.
Officer Morane, whose beat includes
that district, rushed toward the spot
from whence the sound came, and was
Mortified to meet a woman enveloped
in flames. Her arms were outstretched
and she cried with pain as the red
forks Of fire surged madly about her.
The officer stripped off his great fur
coat, and grasping the woman in his
arms, wrapped 1t around her tightly.
1t had the desired effect, for the flames
were soon killed from want of air. The
unfortunate woman is Mrs. Mary
Ranolo, of COZ Grove street. Her baby
boy, aged two years, is also severely
burned, the result of lamp explosion,
which occurred in the sitting room of
the Ranolos last night
In some manner the lamp was over
turned and exploded, showering the
burning oil in all directions Mrs
Ranolo was sitting by the table with
her child in her arms, and when the
explosion occurred both were in close
proximity to the deadly lamp. Almost
all Of the oil was flung upon the mother
and child, and in an instant later both
were rolling on the floor in horrible
agony. Crazed with pain Mrs. Ranolo
sprang to her feet and ran down stairs
Cthe family only occupying one floor of
the building) and out into the street.
The husband rescued the child by ex-
tinguishing the flames on the little
ones clothes with blanket Both were
laid tenderly upon a bed, while kind
neighbors tried to comfort the agoniz-
ed pair until medical assistance arrived.
Coroner Whitcomb and DR.. Bole were
summoned and dressed the wounds.
The victims of the accident were sent to
the city hospital in the city ambulance,
and there their blackened, painful
wounds were redressed
Mrs. Ranolo is horribly burned about
the lower limbs, the skin having been
peeled off in large pieces and the flesh
disflgured. The child was burned about
the back very seriously, in some places
portions of the flesh having fallen off.
Both are fatally injured, and City Ply
sician Ancker is not sure whether they
will live or not. The sufferings Of the
unfortunate mother and babe must
have been something terrible, as their
blackened, skinless wounds are mute
testimonials to the fact. Mrs. RanoIo is
thirty-six years old and a comedy wo-
man. Her husband, John, is a Iaborer.
They are Italians.

The Verdict Which Nj. IT. Starr Sc

way company and Thomas F. Cakes ct AL

pany, appellants.
The plaintiff, while engaged in the business
of news agent on defendants train was in
jured by a collision caused by the negli-
gence of defendant in not stopping it's train
before arriving at railroad crossing as re-
CURED by General Statutes 1894 Sec. 2706
The statute referred to requires railroad COM
panies to cause all their trains to entirely
stop not more than sixty rods and not less
than ten rods before each arrival at the
crossing of any other railroad, and provides
that every corporation that violates the pro-
visions of the statute is liable to forfeiture
of not more than 800 nor less than 500 to
be recovered in civil action, and is further
liable in the full amount of damages done
to person or property in consequence of any
neglect to comply with the requirement of
the statute Held In view of the provisions
and manifest object of this statute, that a
contract between the defendant and the
plaintiff exempting the former from liabil-
ity for injuries caused by it's negligence is
void against public policy as respects
negligence consisting Of a violation of the
statute; and this, too, although the defendant
may not have borne to the plaintiff the rela-
ton of common carrier. Judgment affirmed

LITTLE CROW INDIANS,
How They VIII Celebrate Christmas
at the Agency.

Santa Claus will need an extra. 1.elav
of reindeer and very warm coat this
year, says the Chicago Daily News.
After he has made his calls in
the towns and cities he will have to
scamper across the snow-covered plains
of South Dakota, some hundreds of
miles from any big town, to keep an
appointment with the little Indian chill
dren at Crow agency. There are eighty
six of them at the school, ranging
from four to seventeen years of age
Santa Claus made his first call there
last year, and these little Indians fell
in love with him. He brought them
sleds and skates and dolls and a lot
of good things to eat, and they are
looking forward to his return with
great expectations.
The Crows are a peacea BILE and indus
trious tribe. They are the handsome
and heroic type of Indian which Long
fellow has described in his poems. The
day before Christmas these tall men
and women will come stalking over the
plains to the agency, wrapped to their
heels in gayly colored blankets, their
faces painted red, their head-dress
decked with feathers and their feet in
moccasins. Uncle. Sam, who is repre-
scented by Capt. Watson at the agency.
is very generous at Christmas time,
and the brilliantly decorated tree at
the SchOOl is an OBJECT OF great interest
to them. They sit smiling with evil
dent delight, while their children recite
and sing. 1T is a thing to touch ones
heart to see these dusky little children
of the plaiEs their faces touched with
Christmas sentiment and their voices
lifted in 1.-The new song" Their fathers
and mothers are said to be jealous Of
these efforts of the white man to tempt
the feet of their children out of the
paths their ancestors have followed so
long. But, while these exercises look
tomfoolery to the old Indians, because
they cannot understand them, their
faces show some pride and they nudge
each other with smiles of approval as
their children stand on the platform
and perform their parts.
When Santa Claus comes IN with his
big pack and great coat, the big and
little Indians sit as still as mice. with
fear and wonder in their faces. The
little folks take their presents with
serious faces, hardly looking at them,
every eye being Fastened on the big
white father in the fur coat. Santa
Claus has to be particularly careful
of his department., or. in spite Of the
teachers, the children would make a
break for the open air In wild stam-
pede. After Santa Claus has retired q
muTmur of awe passes over the crowd.
and presently there are high jinks
among this children, in the midst of
which a man stalks in, dressed like d

children are generally bright. They
are exceedingly shy on first coming to

easily taught. Some of these children
have regular features, soft and beau

eyes shaded with long lashes. When
