Mrs. Mary Courtney died last Satur-
day at the home of her SOD, John p.
| Courtney, 1929 Columbus avenue, in this
city. The deceased lady was SO years OF

Tuesday morning, shortly before 6
o'clock, fire occurred from lamp ex-
plosion at the residence of John Casey,
1929 Sixth street southeast. The fire
spread so rapidly that the occupants of
the house were obliged to escape in their
night clothing. An academy student by
the name of William Fish was not go for
tunate he was in bed on the second
floor when the explosion occurred and
the flames spread so rapidly that escape
for him by way of the stairway was cut

effects of several of the other inmates

Mr.. Casey is about 1000 with an insur.

they were already well supplied with
fuel enough to last all winter. Gaffney
assumed the responsibility of delivering

who had applied for aid but received no
attention. He found q family on West
ern avenue who had seven sacks of -four
stored in the garrett and he saw them
throw bushels of potatoes away, because
they were rotting. Many deserving
cases appear to be overlooked by the re-

ing aid who do not need it.
