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. Two
half brothers and two half sisters sur-
vive her,

the advisability of not calling the trae

week of the wvarious terms of court
It is seldom that jury triale are had
on the day of the opening of courts
owing to the fact that frequently
grand juries are unable to have passed
on a case, and other good reasons.
Bringing the traverse Jjurvmen fo
