One of the most distressing ac cidents that we have had to chronicle for a ong time, occur red at Saluvia on Tuesday. Miss Cora A. Speer, daughter of the late William A. Speer was assisting to boil cider in a large kettle at the east side of the yard between the house and garden, when about 10 o'clock her cloth ing became ignited from the tire under the kettle. No one being near, she ran screaming to the store, some fifty yards distant. It happened that her brother, who is usually in the store, had gone out to the orchard but he heard her screaming and seeing the blazing form of his sis ter ran to her relief. Seizing some blankets he wrapped them about her writhing form, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not until their deadly work had been accomplished. Dr. McClain of Hustontown was immediately summoued, and arrived in about an hour, but no human power could save the life of the poor suffering girl, and death came to her relief about two o'clock in the afternoon. Funeral at ten o'clock Thurs day morning, and interment at Greenhill. The family have tlie sincere sympathy of everybody in this sore trial. Miss Speer was aged about 22 years, a renneu unristian iaay, and her untimely death is a se- ere shock to her numerous friends.
