A PLUCKY GIRL MEETS HER DEATH IN TRAGIC MANNER. (Received This Morning, 1.5 o'clock.) PERTH, March 22. A girl named Florizel Lamming was endeavouring to extinguish the clothing of an elderly woman who had spilt burning turpentine over herself, when she ignited hex own dress. She ran and hid in the bush, and then, paralysed with fear, sat down with-her hands over her head. She made no outcry, and was not discovered until she was fatally burned. The woman was saved by her husband.
