IS BURNED TO DEATH

BY SCALDING COFFEE Nine-Year-Old Daughter o William Roll Meets With Unusual Mishap. MOTHER TRIPPED ON RUG. AS SHE DID SO THE CONTENTS OF A COFFE POT SHE WAS CARRYING WERE THROWN OV ER CHILD'S BODY. Burned to death with scalding coffee was the horrible fate which befell Frances E., the little nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Roll 1010 Boyer street, about noon Thurs day. After sixteen hours of horrible suffering, the little one died this morn ing about four o'clock. The accident which befell the child was a most unusual one. The entire family had gathered about the dinner table, with the exception of the child and the mother, the latter being in the act of taking the coffee pot from the stove to serve those seated at the table. Frances was directly In front of her mother when Mrs. Roll tripped over a rug and was thrown forward. the contents of the coffee pot being thrown over the little girl. With piercing screams the little one sank to the floor and writhed In agony. The boiling coffee burned her head, shoulders and the greater portion of her body, while here little feet were almost a solid blister, being veritably cooked by the boiling coffee. All known antidotes were applied im mediately, while a physician was sum moned to relieve the awful sufferings of the little girl. The physician attended to her wounds, but stated that he did not have much hopes of her re covery, owing to the chid's delicate health, she having been afflicted the greater part of her life. For this rea son the child was neither able to hear or understand her mother who, in a fit of terror was attempting to alleviate the child's sufferings. The shock of the accident and the manner in which it occurred so greatly shocked Mrs. Roll that she is in a state of nervous collapse at her home.
