A sad calamity is narrated by an
Evansville, Indiana, despatch under
date of Feb. 9th, as follows : At three
O'Clock this morning fire was discovered
issuing from the grocery of Chris. Mehr,
corner Of Hcidelbach avenue and John
street, and in a few moments the build
ing was enveloped in flames. The in
mates of the house were Mehr, his wife
and six children, his father-in- law, and
a bar keeper named George. OF these
SIX escaped.
The details show the sufFerings Of
the victims to have been horrible
There we're, when the fire broke out,
about ten persons in the house. Mrs.
Mehr seized two children and rushed
through the flames, and a boarder
seized another of the children. Mr..
Mehr rushed out, and seeing that some
of his children were missing, again ran
into the house, and was not again seen
alive. When found, he had elasped in
his arms three children who had been
left behind, the four bodies being burned
almost to a cinder. These four were
the only persons burned TO death. Most
of the others were more or less burned.
