Special Despatch to The Eoersty,g Telegraph.
DoYLEsTowN, Feb. 10.-A fire, attended with
loss of life, occurred in Northampton township
about half-past IL o'clock this morning. and is
the theme of general conversation here. 1t
seems that shortly after midnight of Thursday
a fire was discovered in the tenant house owned
by DR.. Cornell situated near the Bridgeton Pike,
Northampton township, Bucks county. and all
attempts to check the progress of the flames
proved fruitless. The names of the occupants
are not known. The wife barely escaped with
her life so rapid was the progress of the flames.
She and her two children were in bed at the
time. Bewildered and almost frantic, she rushed
from the apartment only to encounter the
flames, which were cracking and belching forth
in almost every part of the house. She ran
down the flight of stairs through the flames,
not, however, without sustaining serious in
juries. Her two children perished in the flames
although every exertion was made to rescue
them.
