| iaShNAh Al ueiF LlVeS.-MrS
Blauyelt, q widow. living Mt the cor.
ner OF Clinton and North Main streets,
Patterson n. j. has been i'm the habit
Of locking the bedroom door of her
two Oldest sous, John and Lemuel. in
order that she might get in to wake
them up in the morning. They did
not want to go to bed with the door un.
locked. One of the sons works in the
PRESS rooms OF the Guardian, and the
other in silk mill. John has for
some time been in feeble health. In
q corner of the bedroom on Sunday
night last, were several sbeayes of
straw, with which some mattresses
were to be retilled. The boys went
to bed, leaving a small kerosene lamp
burning on the bureau. A little be-
fore II o'clock the lamp exploded
and set the straw ON fire. The smoke
awakened them. The blazing straw
lay beneath the only window. They
were so much affected by the smoke
that they crawled under the bed to
escape from it. In this they were
! successful, not so much because the
bed shielded them, it is explained, but
because the smoke arose and left the
air near the floor comparatively pure
In few minutes they revived
Then they tried to force the door O.
pen. 1t opened inward, and when
they pulled at the knob it came off.
They pounded Gu the door and shou.
ted, but they could not arouse any Of
the household down stairs. They had
only few moments to work before
they were driven to crawl under the
bed again for fresh air.
Then they made All attempt to get
out Of the window. Both were badly
burned about the hands and face. and
falling in their effort and becoming
half sufiocated they retired to their
breathing place under the bed for the
third time. The flames had now
cracked the glass in the window and
begun to burn the sill and sash. The
young men, now taking long breaths
OF the smoky air under the bed,
sprang out and made combined ef-
fort 10 break tile panels OF the door.
In the mean time persons living a.
Gloss the street had seen tho fire, and
had run over and aroused Tire family
down stairs just Rs the prisoners
had succeeded in bursting out one
panel the door was unlocked and
they were rescued. Both were badly
burned, bat not fatally Their hair
was singed OF close 10 their scalps.
Everything in lie room WAS destroy
ed, but the Fire Department had been
called out. and the flames were pre-.
vented from doing further damage.
Neither OF the boys has yet recovered
from the effects of breathing in tho
smoke.
