DIED FROM HER INJURIES.
one Victim Of the La Rue House Fire
Another VIII Die.


Another VIII Die.
Belle Addison, the housekeeper at the
house, Alp 18th street, that was burned on
Wednesday, died shortly after midnight
from the injuries which she received in
jumping from her window to the court
yard. She was conscious almost to the
last, and had time to send for a priest. An
autopsy will be performed OH the body this
afternoon. and 1t will then possibly be
sent TO Brooklyn, where the woman for
merly lived. 1t is known that the name
by which she was called Ia not her real
name, which is suppressed for the sake
Of her family. 1t is said that her people
are respectable. and that she has q child,
a girl of about six years. A friend in this
city, through whom she obtained her po-
sition at Mrs. La Rues as housekeeper, has
notified her relatives of her death.
Flora Preston, who was also seriously
hurt, Is not expected to live many hours.
She was told this morning that she could
not hope TO recover. and at her request a
priest was summoned. Her spine is frac-
tured but she is IN little pain and con-
scious of her condition.
An Epidemic of Accidents.
There has been a veritable epidemic of
accidents during the past three days, be-
ginning with the La Rue fire on Wednes-
day. On that day there were eighteen ac-
cident cases reported to the hospital. On
Thanksgiving, which is not uncommonly
a heavy day ut the Emergency, there were
twenty-five Cases brought In. and up to
noon today there had been six patients in
the emergency ward.
One of these was Marcy Curtis, q white
boy living In Alexandria county, Va. He
was hunting last evening with an older
cousin. who accidentally shot Marcy
through the left foot. He was brought to
town this morning by his parents, and
placed in the Emergency Hospital. An
operation was performed this afternoon
and part of the foot removed.
Henry Morris, living at l7l6 Brainard
street. had a finger of his right hand badly
crushed this morning by a stone at the
rev Corcoran Art Gallery building. The
wound was dressed at the hospital, and
he was sent home.
A fire alarm was sounded shortly before
noon today. calling the engines to blaze
in Mazzochis fruit stand, on 14th between
= and . streets. The blaze started In
some loose papers, and Mazzochi's son, a
lad of sixteen, endeavored to throw them
into the street. In doing this he had his
right hand very seriously burned. He
went TO the hospital later, and the burns
were dressed.
These cases kept the house stan at the
hospital very busy during the past three
days, and Drs. Bell, Smith. Aughinbaugh
and Nshio have been kept en- duty almost
the whole of the time These accident
waves, they say, come with almost regular
intervals.

He Has Returned.

Jim Washir gton, a Woodworking colored
man, lived with his wife, Henrietta, and
six children on 9th street southeast, until
one day in August when he expressed a
feeling Of jealousy concerning a male
boarder. Following this there was trouble
in the family, and the wife swore out a
warrant against her husband for threats
Then he left her and the children to the
tender mercies of the male boarder, so he
says.
But before leaving" Henrietta told
Judge Miller this morning, he made me
and the boarder leave the house, and told
me that could go to h with my chill
dren."
Yesterday was his first visit home sincc
August, and the wife says she is afraid
of him.
He told the Judge that he only went there
yesterday to see his children and patch up
the difficulty with his wife, but she was
too we'll satisfied to make up.
How do you manage to support your
childrenT' the woman was asked.
Il works." she replied, land the boarder
pays my rent. / can prove by the landlord
that since my husband left me have not
been behind in my rent"
The defendants personal bonds were
taken.
