A GIRL CREMATED,
Probable Fatal Burning Of e Daughter of R. H. Collins.
The Victim Was Alive Late Last Night But Death Was nomenf- ariIY Imminent.

A frightful and undoubtedly fatal accident by burning occurred at noon yesterday at the residence Of R. H. Collins, carpenter, living at 1925 East Washington street, near the street car barns. His 14-year-o1d daughter was engaged in getting din- ner. She had just put the coffee pot on the stove and the next instant, she did not know how it happened, she was on fire. The flames started upon both sleeves, but the whole upper part of her dress was soon ablaze. There was no one else in the house. She ran out and toward the house of a neigh bor. screaming. A woman and a child ran toward her. The woman knocked the child down to prevent her from coming in contact with the burning girl. But she herself bravely tried to save her. She threw her down and tried Intellectually to smother the flames. Then she tried to tear the flaming clothing away, but it burned so fast that in little while nothing remained but the shoes and stockings. That the clothes of this woman did not take fire was strange. However, her hands were badly burned.
 The suffering girl was carried home and Dr. Wylie was sent for. He found her suffering from the shock and from the burns. He relieved the intensity of her suffering by an injection of morphine and by the time the effect of it had passed away there came to her the peace and restfulness which comes to many who are badly burned.
 From the middle of the afternoon until late last night she was without pain. She was entirely rational and talked calmly of the accident She was unable to throw any light on its origin. The stove around which she was working was an ordinary wood stove and not gasoline burner. It was improbable that she could re- cover. She might die before morning, and then she might live two or three days and die of exhaustion She was already suffering from a congestion of the stomach. due to the destruction of the skin surface Her body from her hips to her neck bore the marks of the fire, but her face was un- touched. The physician said that he had seen but one more danger ous case of burning.

TO MUCH GROWING.

The officials connected with the Light
House Department say that there is alto
gether too much complaint among certain
sea captains about shutting off some of
the lights. There are enough left to run
by. The only danger is to some long
voyage vessels whose masters have not
heard of the war, and in such cases a
cautious man would not attempt to enter
port at night in the absence of lights,
common sense teaching him that there
must be something wrong in such an
unusual condition of affairs.
