A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

One of the most frightful accidents which has occurred in this town in re cent yeare, book place on Saturday afternoon. The unfortunate principal in the csae was Mrs Newbloom, woman about B years of age. the wife of August New bloom. Itappears she was in the act of polishing her stove, having her two year.old son, Carl, under one arm. The stoYe had fire in it, and the material she was using was some patent stt fl used by etove men. It ,s said she had some of the material in pan, which proDsbly exploded, setting her clothing on fire. and persons who saw her said they could not distinguish who she was as her clothing was completely enveloped in fiame. She screamed in agony, holding her hands above htr head. In few minutes crowd had collected, and every means possible was used to extinguish the blaze. Among the first persons to rush to her aid were Frank Rowe, of the firm of Rowe & Pullte, and Robert Sauck. The latter had one hand quite badly burned in his forts to assisI the unfortunate woman. Drs King, Gris- wold and Wright were soon on the done for the suffering woman. Dr Wright said seven.eighths of her body was burn. ed, ard the child was badly burned Oh one side.
 At the time of the Ire an alarm was rurg in for the hose company, put their services were not needed. Judge Addis was presiding at the town meeting when the alarm was rung in and wac one of the fret to reach the door. "All in favor of recess say 'Yes,'" shouted the judge as he was going down tho stairs, and it was quickly voted. It was found, how. ever, their services were not needed and the town meeting was quickly convened again.
 Mrs Newbloom died on Sunday morn- ing at o'clock, and the boy on Saturday about midnight. They were both buried on Sunday afternoon in one casket, the funeral taking place st 5 p. m., Rev MT Erickson of Hanbury ficiatipg. Under taker Thomas had the funeral in charge MT Newbloom is in the employ of A. H. McMahon and will have the sympathy o1 wide circle in his great trouble. The family is poor and 1t is evidently . case where charity would be worthily be. slowed. The good people of New Mil. ford are not backward in doing their duty in this regard, however, when q case of this kind presents itself.

MRS DAVID C. SANFOkDs
 Dear BEE: Saturday last Mrs Emily David c. Sanford, ono, minists1 pier ipotentiary of the U. s. A to France, ard learned judge of the Superior court of this state, died in he 92 year of her age, esteemed and beloved by all who knew her. To-day ht r funeral was attended by a concouree of relatives and friends and citizens, without distinction of party or lage, as well as from distant cities and states. The bench and the bar wore represented by eminent and distinguish ed members, and other professions and callipgs were largely in evidence in the handsome stone edifice on the hill, of All Saints' Memorial church, erected in 1884 by the loving members of her fam ily, in honor of the distinguished hus. bard of the deceased.
 1T am the Resurrection and the Life'' was intoned by the Rev Rector and his associate minister, preceding the e sket and heading the solemn procession on 1t 6 entry in the cent al aisle. Immediately following the fin were the faithful do- n estics of the beIeaved household, both black ard white, who had the place of honor, preced ding the nearest relatives and the members of the family and the mere general mourners of the large pro- cession. The incident was novel end touchi, z in its tenderness and regard for the lowly, and challenged the attention of all present.
 IT e magnificent hturgical service of the Epis copal church, witt out any ser- mon or comment from pulpit or lecturn, with the appropriate Scriptural senten ces rendered by a choir of male voices, sup plemented by the solemn cbiming of appropriate anthems on the bells, as the assembled COT aggregation retired from the sacred temple, in long procession of 43 carriages, attended by uncounted num- bers who sadly and slowly followed the mortal remains to their last resting place ''in Gods acre."
 On Page A of 1.-The Chronological catalogue of members of the First Con. eregational Church of New Nilford,' in 1881, the oame of Emily Bull (Mrs D C.. San ford) is recorded in cla.s of lOl persons who then became members cf that society, whose church building once stood upon the village green. The de. ceased was the last and only survivor of that large class Of nun 'cants of that denomination. In 1888 .he took letters of demit to the Episcopal church, in which che afterwards lived and died a consistent and exemplary membe r. De mortuis. nil nisi bonum.
 Hastily yours,

1t is expected that F. H. Clifford vii!
