For several years Meyers shared a

ernoon, but it is not expected that there will be serious results. With other children of his age he was at play in the cellar of his home in Grove avenue, in imitation of wild west show, and little James was inn personating an Indian, his makeup being in part of a wig of excelsior that covered his face. In some way one of his playmates who was using a match as torch. set fire to the excelsior and the head of the How ard boy was immediately covered with blaze. Her playmates screamed with fear, attracting Catherine How ard, who with rare presence of mind covered the boys head with her apron and partially smothered the blaze. She hurried her brother into the yard and rolled him in the wet grass and there by effectually quenched the fire
 The cries of the children attracted the attention Of Miss Estelle Mur- ray, the district visiting nurse. and she was on hand before the arrival of Dr. John L. May, who was very quickly summoned.
 The boys face, head and hands are severely burned, but it is not believed his eyes are injured, or that any in ternal injury was sustained. Dr. May dressed the tA-ns and made the child as comfortable as possible, and Miss Murray is nursing the boy under di- rection of the doctor. The burns do not seem to have penetrated below the skin and it is hardly believed there will be permanent disfigure- ment.
 Miss Beatrice Chase, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Hyde Chase, was thrown from wagon in Granite street Fri day afternoon and severely injured. She was riding with Joseph Kenyon, when the horse shied at a block of granite on a low gear that was being transferred to the Smith Granite works The horse ran upon the side walk at Granite and Chestnut streets and Miss Chase was thrown against the curbing. Mir. Kenyon was thrown to the sidewalk, he holding on to the reins until assistance came and pre- vented runaway.
 Miss Chase was taken to the resi- dence of H. A. Wilcox, a physician summoned and treatment given. She I was cult and bruised in the legs. arms and hands. She was also cut in the face and body. Her injuries are not of a serious nature. MT. Kenyon was cut and bruised and considerably 1 shaken up, but his injuries are not as severe as those sustained by Miss | Chase.
