Ellen Pring, aged eleven, residing at Wairoa, was learning her lessons in bed, when the clothes caught fire. She died from the injuries received in four hours, . Serious Trap Aooident. A somewhat serious trap accident occurred yesterday afternoon on the road known as Ngahauranga Line, between Wellington and Johnsonville, resulting in four persons bub* taining more or less severe injuries. Miss Gray and Miss Webb, barmaids at the Duke of Edinburgh, were returning from Johnsonrille in a twohorse buggy with two gentlemen friends, and while coming down tho hill the reins, by some means or other, got foul of the pole. This prevented the gentleman who Jjfas driving from guiding the horses properly, and the oonsequence was that in a moment the buggy, horses and oooupants, went over mto the Quarry, falling a distance of 30 or 40 feet into a creek, Wonderfal to relate, the whole party were not killed as might reasonably have been inspecred, but as it was they sustained -injuries sufficiently severe. The two young ladies came off worst, as they fell under the buggy. Miss Webb was at first under the impression that her baok was seriously injured, but subsequent investigation showed that such was not the case, Her faoe, however, is sererley cut, and there is a severe wound on her forehead and her lip almost out through. Miss Gray sustained injury I to her arm, and is otherwise bruised. i The young men came off more lightly, but one has his ankle twisted, the | other limps from an injured leg and both are considerably shaken. Some farm hands near by quickly came up and rendered what assistance was possible. The young ladies' wounds were washed and bound up, and a springcart opportunely passing by, tho whole party wero put in and conveyed to Wellington, where Dc Collins was quickly in attendance and dressed the wounds. The injured are progressing satisfactorily, although Miss Webb was, as might be expected, rather feverish last night. Thft buggy was not much damaged, while; the horses only, received a few soratohe3 and thay were driven into town in the buggy last night.— Timet.
