BURNED IN HER HOUSE
AN OLD LADY cpEMArrD ALIVE
In Her Dwelling at nit. Plea anita Fatal

News Matters Across the River.

An old lady, well.kuowp and univsr-
sally respected by her ueighbOrs at Mt,
Pleasant, Ohio, where hehad spentneArly
all Of herlOngliie, met amOst horrible death
at an early hour yesterday morning at her
home in that village.
Mrs. Betsie Jobs, the old lady referred
to, was over seventy years OF age, and had
long been q widow, She lived entirely
alone in small frame house, When the
residents Of the place retired at reason
able hour Wednesday night there was
nothing about the house to attract atten.
ton. When the earliest rissrs OF the
community looked out yesterday morning
the house Of the widow lobe was envelOp-
ed in flames, and evidently had been burn
ing for some lepgth Of time,
II was then too late to make any effort
to save any portion OF the property, OF
even the lie OF the unfortunate woman,
and the Mortified inhabitants could only
stand and shUdder in the horrld realiza-
ton that Mrs. lobe had been Cremated
alive without any attemp. to rescue her.
The origin OF the flames is unknown, aa
the house, when discovered, was as stated,
one mass Of flames, and Mrs. JObe had
doubtless long before persisted in horrible
agony,
The financial loss isnot considerable, and
there was no insurance on the property,
The death OF Mrs. Jooe in such 3 manner,
however, caused q thrill OF horror all over
the neignborhood.
