-Four Women and q Child Consumed
I'm the Destruction by Fire of q
Fashionable Boarding House In
Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, March 23.-A fire horror,
unprecedented in the history of Cleveland,
occurred shortly after noon to-day when
four women and one child were burned to
death In An apartment house on one of the
leading residence streets. The FIRE occurred
at the Morgan, 9 fashionable boarding
place at No. sos Prospect street. The
building was q three-story and basement
structure, containing forty-fve rooms, and
1t had nearly forty inmates. Just at the
hour for luncheon Mrs. J. q. Miller, one
of the boarders, discovered flames In the
hall on the second floor. Escape by the
stairway was cut of, so Mrs. Miller jumped
from a second story window to the ground
aud gave the alarm. The fire spread rapid
ly through the halls, and the hundreds of
people who congregated on the scene at
once attempted to rescue those who
were in the buildings. Nobody thought
however, to turn In o FIRE alarm, and at
least half an hour elapsed before q steamer
arrived or a policeman had been sent to the
place. The excitement prevailing was
something awful. As soon as the engines
began working three car lines were blocked
and the crowd grew to thousands. Many
of the spectators assisted the fremen In
trying to rescue the persons In the burn
ing structure, and several of them were
badly burned as they were driven back by
the fsmes.
The names of the dead are as follows:
Mrs. Mary E. Abbey, widow of Judge
Abbey, aged seventy eight.
Mrs: Emma Somers, a blind woman, aged
forty-ive.
