ROCHESTER,, n. Y, May AT , A. o'clock
this morning Edward Shaefer discovered
flames issuing from a twO-story frame
building at las Nassau street, occupied by
Nellie Rosenboom. The flames had COW
cred the entire building before discovered.
When the firemen had subdued the flames
enough to enter the upper part of the house
with ladders, they found the bodies of
man and woman lying near together on the
floor. The neighbors identified the man as
being Herman Stephanski, but the name of
the woman could not be learned though it
is supposed she was his wife. The two
were in the habit of drinking and they may
have been under the influence of liquor at
the time of the fire.
