TERRIBLY BURNED.
Flesh Pealed from Body of Pittsfeld,
N. H., Woman.


Pitsfeld, n. H., June s. Mrs. Martha
Marston, aged over 70 years, was SO
seriously burned at her home in North
Chichester at noon yesterday, that the
physicians say she cannot live.
Mrs. Marston has been conscious only
at intervals since the accident, and it
is not definitely known how it happened,
but it is stating that Mrs. Marston,
who lived alone, was preparing her dim
ner, when some fat on the, stove caught
fire, and in attempting to extingIish its
blaze, her clothing ignited.
Although her clothing was burning
tiereely she ran into the pantry adjoin-
ing the kitchen to get some water to
put out the flames, and in so doing set
the woodwork in the pantry on fire.
She screamed loudly for help but her
cries we're not heard. and the first the
neighbors knew anything vas wrong,
was when they discovered the smoke is
suing from the windows in the rear of
the house.
Mrs. Mary Brown, a neighbor, was
the first on the scene, and she found
Mrs Marston lying on the pantry floor
with her clothing burning so fiercely
that it resembled a raging furnace. Mrs.
Brown caught up an old coat, and wrap
ped it around Mrs. Marston, partially
subduing the fire, and at the same time
screamed loudly for assistance.
BY this time other neighbors ila6
arrived who put out the fire, but not
until Mrs Marston's clothes were en-
tirely burned from her body and consid-
cradle damage was done to the pantry
and woodshed.
