WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
MISS MAGGIE RICHWEIN USED kerr
osENE To START FIRE.
The oil Ignited and Before Help
Could Arrive She Was So Badly
Burned that She Died.

Another victim was added yesterday to
the list Of deaths from using kerosene.
Miss Maggie Richwien, $50 Concordia street,
Haughville, is the latest one TO be added
TO the list.
Miss Richwien, on awakening yesterday
morning about Z o'clock, started to build a
fire in the kitchen stove. She procured a
lot of waste paper, which she placed In the
stove, and on top of this placed some pieces
of kindling made from oak barrel slaves.
She tried several times to ignite the mass.
but failed each time. She then thought of
getting the kerosene can. No sign OF fire
could be noticed about the paper and wood
in the stove, and Miss Richwien started TO
pour the coal oil over the stuff with a lavish
hand. The can in which the oil is kept
contained about three pints of the fluid.
Hardly had she begun pouring the oil when
a blaze shot up from the kindling. The
flames spread TO the inside of the can and
caused an explosion. The can burst and
the flames spread and covered Miss Rich
wien's body. She had on at the time a
loose house wrapper, which soon ignited.
The flames spread 10 her head and soon
covered her entire body. a woman living
i'm the rear of the house rushed to the scene
as soon as she heard Miss
screams. The flames by that time had
been inhaled by the suffering woman, and
her body, from her head TO her feet, was a
mass of burns. Lotions were applied by
neighbors until the arrival of DR.. Cain,
who was summoned.
Everything was done TO alleviate the
sufferings of the woman in the hope OF saw
ing her life. She continued in a comatose
condition during the entire day until 1880
o'clock last evening, when she died.
Miss Richwien was about forty-five years
old. She kept house for her brother at the
above number.

P JUBILEE VISIT.
knights of Columbus and Friends in
the Procession.

About two hundred members of the
knights of Columbus and about twice as
many more Of their friends made their first
papal jubilee visit yesterday afternoon.
The crowd assembled at the Sacred Heart
Church at 4 O'Clock. The party was headed
by the chaplain of the order. Rev. Dennis
McCabe. of Holy Cross Church. At the
Sacred Heart Church, the first to be visited,
the entire GROVE engaged in singing the
odes OF the order. This was followed by
the recitation of prayers by Father Nc
Cabe, after which the audience recited the
litany of the blessed Virgin Mary aloud.
Starting from the Sacred Heart Church the
crowd. in double column, several squares
in length. marched up Woodlawn avenue
and east to ST. Patrick's Church. Here
the same exercises were gone through, eX-
cept the singing. BY the time the process
sion reached this church the crowd had
grown so great that many could not gain
admission TO the edihce. From st. Patrick 5
the procession went down Virginia avenue
10 South street. west on South street 10
Delaware street. and north TO Maryland
street and 10 st. Mary's Church. From
st. Mary's Church the procession moved
down Maryland street TO ST. Johns Ca
thedral, where the crowd disbanded. The
second and last procession OF the order
will be held next Sunday afternoon. and
the same programme will be carried out.

GARBAGE BARREL GLEANINGS.
One Garbage Collector the Possessor
of over One Hundred Silver spoons.

The colored men who drive garbage
wagons and make collections have a unique
source OF revenue. One OF them. now en-
gagged In another pursuit. told a Journal
reporter last night that the harvest of
silver spoons he had CLEANED from the
garbage barrel was remarkable for its
size. He had, he said, a collection ex-
ceeding in number one hundred spoons.
He further stated that other men en-
gagged In the zane calling had been even
more fortunate. as they had secured both
gold and silver spoons. It seems that
servant girls are responsible for this
careless handling OF gold and silverware.
and the garbage collectors are bound by
no rule OF the garbage company TO
make account OF their salvage. There
fore IN many outWardly humble homes
in this city the tables at feeding
time are laden with evidences OF az
nuence that would well become a fashion
able quarter.
