On Thursday, Catherine Jane CUNARD youngest d/o Thomas CUNARD of Indian Town (St. John) age 5, came to her death by playing with a heated poker which, igniting her clothes, she was burnt so dreadfully, that she lingered only five hours. It appears that her sister had entered the room about twenty minutes before the accident occurred; but on being told by the deceased that she did not want her there, she retired, leaving her alone and closing the door.
