suffocated TO death in their home, at al
West Huron street, Chicago, a few days
ago. Their parents put them to bed at 7
O'Clock and then went to the theater. BY
the explosion OF a kerosene lamp the house
took fire, but the flames were not noticed
until nearly midnight. a fireman rushed
into the burning residence aud carried out
the children, but before a doctor could ar
rive they died in the rescuer's arms.
As the dead children were being carried
into a n~eighbor's house the parents came
rushing up. Mrs. jacobson caught her
daughter in her arms, and when she found
she no longer lived fell fnintinx to the
sidewalk. The bodies were placed in the
parlor and Mrs, jacobson was carried up
