Last Saturday evening Miss Mary
Burke went into her closet with lamp
and in some way some clothes hanging
there caught fire. The flames speedily
cnveloped the whole closet, destroying
everything in it. BY the exertions OF

were not needed. 1t was, however, a
narrow escape. Miss Burke lost some
valuable dresses. The insurance was
