EEL INTO SOAP VAT
BURNED TO DEATH
Eli Payette of Lebanon, N. H., Victim
Of Terrible Accident Yesterday
Afternon, Dying Last
Evening.

Lebanon, n. H., Feb. o.--Eli Payette,
aged SO years, married and having three
children, fell into q vat of boiling soap
at the Carter & Rogers woolen mill at
2 yesterday afternoon ana died at 7 last
night.
Payette had been employed in the wet
finishing department Of the mill since
August, 1907. At the time Of the acci-
dent he was carrying a l00-pound fiber
basket Of alkali, which he was supposed
to dump into an empty tank. In some
unknown way he lost his balance and
pitched hands first with the basket into
the tank next the empty one, which
contained boiling soap two feet deep.
No one saw the accident, but Charles
Bean, who was eight feet away, with his
back to the tank, heard the mans cries,
and, assisted by Charles Miller, pulled
Payette out OF the tank. His entire
body, excepting one side Of his head
and neck. was terribly burned.
The tanks are four feet deep and there
are four Of them. How Payette made
the mistake in putting the alkali into
the soap tank viii never be known.
When the man was taken from the boil
ing vat he was perfectly conscious ana
said, II am going to die" and called for
his priest, Rev. Fr. d. @. Ling. DR.. Fred
erick Won Tobel and DIR. J. X. Vallee
were summoned, and Payettc was re-
moved to DR.. Vallee's private hospital
on Park street. Payette for many min
utes conversed with the priest about his
family affairs and remained conscious
until an opiate was administered.
