Clothing Took Fire While Preparing Christmas Dinner—~Body Burned to a Crisp. Mrs James MeCall, who before mare riage was Miss Mary Coble, of Linden Hall, was burned to a crisp on Christ: mas morping and died in the Johns- town hospital on Sunday morning af- terward. She was alone when the ac cident happened, and from appearanc: ef in the kitchen she was in the act of preparing the Christmas dinner and probably was singeing a chicken when her clothing took fire. Her en- tire body from the knees to the top of the hoad was Burned so badly that from many parts the flesh fell away. Her husband was upstairs at the time, and heard his wife give an<alarm of fire, but did not reach her soon enough to save her life. Mrs. MeCall was the daughter of John Coble, now living at Beech Creek, and was but about twenty years of age. There were no children.
