FATALLY BURNED.
Mrs. Louisa @. Smith Dies From In.
iWFieS.

Mrs. Louisa Capito Smith, widow
OF John E. Smith, judge OF the
Circuit Court for Carroll County, met
with a tragic death last Monday
morning. About $50 o'clock, as
Joshua Hunter, drove his dairy wag-
on past her residence, he noticed a
light in the kitchen a few minutes
later he repassed, and through the
parlor windows saw that the portiers
between the library and dining-room
were in flames. He rang the door
bell vigorously and then burst open
the front door. Mrs. Frank s. Fouke,
Mrs. Smiths only daughter, rushed
down the stairway about the same
moment, and she and MIR. Hunter
found her mother in the hall, with
her clothing in a blaze. They wrap
ped her il large rug and thus put
out the fire.
It appears that Mrs. W. Smith had
come downstairs early to give some
attention to the kitchen range, and
wore around her shoulders lace
shawl, pinned at the neck. When
the shawl caught fire at the range
she was unable to unclasp the catch
Oh the pin. .As she rushed through
the dining-room and library the flames
were communicated To curtains and
carpets. Before help reached her
her clothing was practically burned
from her body and she was terribly
injured, probably inhaling the flames,
as her face was badly burned. Be
fore the firemen arrived with their
apparatus neighbors had put out the
fire in the house. Tt was evident
W.
no hope for her life, and though Dr.
U. Howell Billingslea, the family
physician, did all that could be done
by medical skill to relieve her suffer
ings, she died at IL o'clock.
Mrs Smith was the daughter of
the late Rev. John G. Capito, and her
mother, Mrs. Julia Weaver Capito,
who has made her home with her for
many years, is still living, aged about
81 years.
The scene of the accident is the
ancestral Smith homestead at the cor
ner of Main and Church streets. The
following children survive: Charles
A. Smith, formerly an official Of the
\ Commercial and Farmers Rank, Of
| Baltimore, now cashier Of the Com
