TAILOR'S PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

-----

    Paris,Texas--Sam Jarweck, a journeyman tailor employed in Gilbert's shop on Grand avenue, met with a singular accident.  While sitting on the table working at the trade he struck a match to light a cigarette.  A green celluloid eyeshade pulled down close over his eyes caught fire.  Mr. Jarweck had a heavy suit of bushy hair and was wearing his hat.  The eyeshade was burned almost up before he could remove it.

    His hair was singed all over and his hat was partly burned.  Mr. Jarweck was severely burned and blistered and his face had to be swathed all over in bandages.
