Miss Jeannette Bartlett, a Sen-
ior, Now in City Hospital
ACCIDENT LAST EVENING
Chafng- Lamp Exploded ana Flames
Enveloped Miss Bartlett, Who Showed
Much Presence of Mind, As Did Her
Roommate, IL Fighting Flames.

Miss Jeanette Bartlett of Silver City,
y. NJ. n student at Goddard seminary,
was rushed to the City hospital last
evening suffering intensely from burns
which covered the upper portion of her
body, arms and face. The accident re-
sponsible for her condition occurred while
Miss Bartlett and a roommate were pre-
pairing chatting dish lunch in their room
on the fifth floor The supply of pyro
in the lamp attached to the dish becom-
ing exhausted, Miss Bartlett attempted
to replenish the lamp by pouring
quantity of the fluid out of bottle. In
doing so she neglected to extinguish the
small flame which the heating apparatus
already emitted. The explosion fol-
lowed and the girls roommate, Miss
Rose Anderson of South Ryegate, turned
to see her friend encompassed by fiames.1
With rare presence of mind, Miss
Bartlett threw off light kimona which
she wore. and her roommate set abouts
TO smother the fire with heavy blanket.
In this she was successful. although
the girl was badly t4rned before the
flames had been extinguished. The girls
also managed to extinguish fire which
had crept upon curtains and other fur
nishngs, for when teacher and many
girls who occupy the fifth floor rushed
to the room, the burned girl was ly
ing on the bed and the flames had been
put out. Everyone was remarkably cool,
and Principal Hollister, who was sum-
moned from his Office below, telephoned
for a physician and B. w. Hooker &
Co.'S ambulance.
The physician found the girl in se-
rious condition and he advised immedi-
ate removal to the hospital The pa
tient never lost consciousness and was in
considerable pain even after she had re-
ceived the attention of the physician
and nurses. At the hospital this morn
ing it was stated that her burns We're
not as serious as at first believed. The
burns about the face are not deep and
it was thought that little, if any, dis
figurement would result. The Young
woman's hair escaped contact with the
FIRE, but her arms and parts of the body
were badly affected
Faculty members at Goddard believe
that the prompt action on the part OF
Miss Anderson, az well as the victim
of the accident, Miss Bartlett, probably
saved the latter from death. while their
activity in smothering flames which had
enveloped the shades about the room
doubtless prevented serious fire,
Miss Bartlett is member of the
senior class at the seminary. She came
TO Goddard from her home in New Mex
leo last fall and had spent her vacations
with Vermont relatives, who live in
Fairfield. She was unusually popular
among the student body, and the un-
fortunate occurrence has cast something
of gloom over the entire school.

In Makeup Of Vermont Repub-
Iican State Convention
TO Be HELD AT BURLINGTON
This Loss Is Due to the Small Vote
Cast in 1910 for Head of the State
Ticket--CalI for Convention Will
Be Sent Out Next Week.

Rutland, May 24.-The Republican
state convention to be held at Burling-
ton June 27 at 10 a. m. will contain COG,
or 92 less, delegates than the last state

small vote cast for the Republican can
ddate for governor two years ago, as
each towns representation is based on
its vote for the head of the ticket in
1910.
The convention will nominate candi-
dates for governor, lieutenant governor,
state treasurer, secretary of state, audi
tor, attorney general and four presi-
Dental electors.

DAMAGE ONLY 5000
Much Property of Mrs. G. B. Durkee
Was Endangered This Morning
Origin of the Fire Has Not
Been Learned Yet.

Property comprising the residence of
Mrs. G.. B. Durkee at 800 Ncrth Main
street and the barn attached, valued, Il
is estimated, at $4,000, was endangered
at | o'clock this morning when n hre
broke out in the double tenement on
Brrkee place owned by Mrs. Durkce and
occupied by Charles Loso. The tenement
IS located in close proxintity TO the
Durkee barn. and with a few moments
DELAY a disastrous fire might have re-
s,ilted As it was, the fire was confined
to one room, a summer kitchen or the
second floor, and the loss will be Jess
than 5000, equally divided on :he build
ing and the furnishings belonging to
the Loso family. Damages to the build
,ng are covered by insurance.
The general alarm which caused all
OF the city's fire apparatus to Assem-
ble ON Durkee place, was sounded trom
hex IL few moments before J o'clock.

men were quick to respond and two
streams were shortly playing on the fire.
The lower part of the house IS unotcl.
pied and the room where the flames
hroLe out was being Put in readiness

that no one entered the room thereafter.
Mr.. Loso discovered the fire when awak-
ened by smoke
The fire was confined almost wholly
to the one room, although flames broke
through the roof at one interval. Its
origin cannot be explained, but when
the fremen arrived every wall in the
room seemed te be covered with run
ming flames. Any damage to other por-
tions of the house was caused by smoke
and water Chief Gladding had two
streams constantly playing on tho frs
and another line OF hose was laid in
anticipation of general outbreak.
Within fifteen minutes after the station
was notified, the fire was under control
and the course OF an hour saw it com
pletely subdued
For nearly four hours, however, after
the chemical apparatus and ladder truck
had returned TO quarters. the chief and
one of the regulars remained az the
building to prevent a further outbreak
During this time, members OF the Dur
kee household showed their appreciation
of the prompt manner in which the con
quering of the flames was accomplished
by preparing lunch for the watchers.
This morning, Mrs. Durkee was I'M
stinting in her praise of the fire fighters
