HORRIBLE DEATH—Burn of a Gasoline Stove Proves Fatal.

Jacksonville, Oct 11—Rosina Butler, the 2-year-old daughter of Mrs. [sic] and 
Mrs. B.J. Butler, residing on Madison street, was fearfully burned at 6 
o’clock this morning, from the effects of which she died at 9 o’clock.

Rosina and an elder sister were in the kichent [sic] preparing breakfast, and 
the former attempted to light a gasoline stove, which was covered with oil, 
and immediately the flames ignited the child’s clothing and fearfully burned 
her chest and arms before her clothes could be removed.  Her hair was burned 
from her head and she inhaled a lot of flame, which filled her lungs, and was 
the direct cause of her death.
