 Selma News.

Selma December 22.-(Speeial. )-This morning on Maxey street Jenine the & year -old daughter, and James, the 4-year- old son of MT and Mrs. James Mailman, were seriously burned and the former is not expected to recover from the in- juries received.
 About 10 o'clock the screams from the two children who had been left only a few moments by the mother to step next door to borrow a needle, brought neigh bors to the home and they found Minnie, the little girl, in mass of flames, her little brother, about four years her junior bravely trying to extinguish them and himself afire Mrs. George Wright was the first one to arrive on the scene and in extinguishing the flames from the lt- tie ones she was badly burned about the hand and arms herself.
 There was trash pile fire in the yard around which the children were playing In some manner the dress of the little girl was ignited and her screams brought to her side her little brother The latter bravely battled with the burning gar ments until the arrival of Mrs Wright and others. The little girl was seriously and perhaps dangerously injured. Dr. Gay responded to the summons for a physician and did all that could be done to relieve the suffering of the little one. That she was seriously burned and per haps fatally could not be denied but the hopes are that she will survive the shock
 Mrs. Wright. though painfully burned about the hands and arms, did not receive serious injuries nor did the little boy, the fire having been extingushed before the flames burned through his clothing.
