Miss Mary Cable Startling Suffers a
Painful Death by Exploding Lamp.
SORROW PREvADEs THE CITY
Over Her Death-The Funeral Oc-
Cured This Afternoon, the School
Children Attending in a Body

One of the most unfortunate. hap.
penings that has taken place in this
city for many years and which has
cast a gloom over the entire city was
the fatal burning of Miss Mary Cable
Starting, which occurred at the home
OF her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas
Startling, on last Thursday night.
The facts of the occurrence, as best
we can learn them are these;
Supper was jut over and Miss Star
linghad gone up to her room to pre-
pare her lessons. After lighting the
lamp which was on the table, she for
some reason started with it to put it
on the mantle piece over the CRATE,
and hile placing itw dstart.ntlema E.
in which brisk fire was burning, and
while placing the lamp she in some
manner broke the bowl against the
mantel knocking it toward her and
spliling the oil down her dress.
In the next instant the fire from the
CRATE ignited the oil and in the twink
ling of an eye she was a mass of
flames.
Realizing her condition she started
screaming down the stairs for help
Her parents quickly ran to her id.but
before the flames could be extin-
guished her mother and sister were
badly burned about the hands, and the
poor girl was SO badly burned that
she only lived until one O'Clock the
next day
Doctors Odeneal and Payne were
telephoned for and arrived at the
home Immediately after the sad hap
pening and did everything in their
power to save her life and re-
lieve the awful suffering. Neigh
bors offered their services. Every
thing that could be done by kindred
and friends was done but there was
no relief until the summons came
rom heaven and was answered
The funeral services we're held at

Out of respect to Mr.. Starting,
who is a member of the Greenville
bar, and father of Miss Startling, the
Circuit Court adjourned at noon to-
day until next Monday morning.
Miss Mary Cable Startling was the
youngest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Startling. At her death she
was just sixteen years of age, and next

The pursed mouths lifted with the worlder prayer
That bed and oblivion spare
Them yet little while
Beside their envied elders by the glow

Some promise for the morrow, to begule
Their long exile
Within the wild waste lands of dream and sleep.

These-these of ours who soothe US when weep,

And nestle to our hearts o Heavens delight
