WAS BURNED TO DEATH, A Sad Episode at Carleton Place Last Ww Carleton Place, Aug. 26.--Miss Julia Burke, aged seventy-two years, was burned to death on Friday in tragic way. Early-that morning she arose from bed without awaking her | sister; Mrs. Nagle, who slept with her, ang descended to the kitchen, where she poured coal oil into a dish and from the charred remains of a letter 3 in another dish evidently intended to destroy some private papers which she did not wish other eyes to see. The use of the oil had a disastrous | effect for when she lighted it the | lames evidently flashed to her cloth- | ing and set her night dress ablaze | with fatal results, her hands and { arms, the upper part of the body and | the face and head being dreadfully { burned, and death must have been rapid-by suffocation. Her sister when she awoke missed Miss Julia and found her lying in the summer kitchen, with the blaze flick- ering up the walls of the building. The fire was speedily subdued, De- ceased for thirty-five years taught school here. MUST BE MORE CAREFUL In the Handling of Milk and Ice C .
