A Distressing Accident on the South Side.
Yesterday.
serious, if not a fatal, accident be-
fell the four-year-old son of William
Kemp, at his fathers home on South
Market street, at noon yesterday.
The little fellow was playing by
himself in a second story room when
the father and mother, who were down
stairs at the time, heard the child
scream. They Immediately rushed up
stairs and found the little fellow al
most entirely enveloped in flames.
They put out the flames as quickly as
possible and Immediately sent for Dr.
D. H. Taylor, who arrived post-haste
and did everything in his power to re-
lieve the child's sufferings.
1t is supposed that in some way the
child got possession OF some matches,
and in playing with them one of them
got lighted and set fire to the little
fellows clothing, as there was no fire
lighted in the room at the time.
At a late hour last night the child
was reported as doing very well and
there is every hope for its recovery. al
though his injuries are very serious.
