GIRL ROASTED TO DEATH Carrie RHOADS, sixteen years of age, of Reading, was burned to death last Sunday evening. The girl was getting the meals for the family when her clothing caught fire from a lamp. A party of men saw the girl running and hearing her cries tore off their coats and threw them around the flame-enveloped figure. Every particles of clothing, except portions of the sleeves of the dress, had been burned completely away, and the girl's body had been literally roasted. From the head to the feet not a spot remained that had not been burned and she had also inhaled the flames. When admitted to the hospital the girl was perfectly conscious and she told the physicians how the fatal accident had occurred. She said that when it became dusk she started to light an oil lamp. The match she had used to light the wick dropped from the table and set fire to her dress, which, being of light an flimsy material, burned like tinder. She then rushed from the house into the street, where the men met her and extinguished the flames.
