Fatally Burned.

Florence Habecker, aged one year, and
her twin brother Ralph. children of Mr..
and Mrs. Christian C. Habecker, of
Washington borough, Lancaster county,
met with an accident on Friday night that
resulted in fatal burns for the little girl.
The children had been put in bed and
lighted lamp left on the bureau near. 1t
is supposed the bureau cover was dragged
off by one of the children after they were
left in the room, upsetting the lamp, the
bed clothes being set on fire. The screams
of the children attracted other members of
the household to the room and the flames
were smothered out, but not until Florence
had received burns from WHICH she died
the next day. The little boy escaped
with some slight burns.

Fell From Cell Window.

Scott Johnson, who is held in Elkton
Jail for trial on the charge of numbering
James McAllister, was found in an un-
conscious condition in his cell one day
last week. Thereport was circulated that
he had attempted suicide, but an investi-
cation proved that Johnson had fallen
backward from the window of his cell,
striking his. head on the concrete floor
with such force as to render him uncon-
scious. A chew of tobacco that he had in
his mouth, lodged in his throat. and but
for the prompt arrivalof the Jail physi-
clan, who succeeded in dislodging it,
johnson would undoubtedly have choked
to death.
