TERRIBLY BURNED.
Miss Wagner's Injuries Caused by an Ea-
plodipg Lamp.

Shortly before l O'Clock Saturday noon
an alarm Of fire was sent in from box
81. located at the carner of York and
Tying streets. The cause of the alarm
was due to the explosion Of large Rooh-
ester lamp in the room occupied by Miss
Bertha Wagner, residing at No. 20
Tyng. street. 1t seems that Miss Wagner
had lighted tho lamp few moments
before and that she had attached to she
lamp one Of the radiators used on such
amps for upply ing heat to a room.
Miss Wagner was about to take n bath
and had lighted the lamp to warm ths
room before completing the details Of
the bath. Suddenly the light began to
flicker and In an instant tho fire WAS
communicated to the oil, this result Of
which was an explosion. Miss Wagner,
realizing the danger to the property,
seized the lamp and raising the window,
| threw the lamp into the street. AS che
did SO some oil from. the lamp spat-
Tered upon her clothing, thus giving the
fire chance to do more effective work.
The frightened women started for the
hallway and ran down stairs to the ssc-
ond floor where her father and Mrs.
Ksarns, another tenant Of the house,
seized some rugs and wrapped them
about the burning woman's clothing.
The fire was soon exbinguished from
the girls clothing and upon tho arrival
of the fire department the drsmen put
out the fire in the room. The only dam
age In the room was tho burned bed
CLOTHES.
DR.. Dunn was called to attend the
suffering woman, and he remained with
her during the afternoon. At 8 O'Clock
last evening the woman was suffering
terribly from the severe burning she re-
oeived, but was still in . conscious con-
dition. The unfortunate woman was
burned about the lower limbs and on the
chest, face and neck.
The Doctor reports that the outcome Ia
very uncertain, and that the young
woman's chances. Of recovery ara about
even, yet the case is liable to result for
the worst at any moment.
Miss Wagner was forewoman at Aver,
Houston & Co. S hat factory, and was
well liked by her associates.
