SELF IN AND SETS TIE

Mrs Thomas Harrigan. of South Elizabeth. N. J.,
while temporarily insane yesterday destroyed the
lives of herself and her three children by setting
fire to her husbands barn. In which she mad fast-
ened herself with the little ones. She also. before
going TO the barn. kindled fire In a woodbox In
the kitchen of her house with the evident intention
of destroying the building.
When the neighbors discovered the barn ablaze
they sent out an alarm for the iremen and
gathered to watch the flames. They were power
less to do anything toward putting the fire out. Is
the place is in the outskirts of the city, and there
is no water supply nearer than quarter OF MILE
The hremen did not have hose enough, and they
also crippled in their efforts. While the barn
burning Miss Rebecca Hall and Miss Kate
Harrigan. a sister of the owner, saw smoke pour
ing out OF the windows of the house, and, running
to It, they opened the door and found a soapbox
full OF wood and shavings blazing hercely on the
Kitchen floor They dashed pail OF water over the
flames and then grabbed the burning box and threw
1t into the yard
They went upstairs but found in the
house. and supposed hat Mrs. Harrigan and her
children away from home.
The woman's mother. Mrs. Quinn, arrived at the
house shortly afterward to inquire for her
daughter. Then the people began to feel alarmed,
and hurried visit was made to the other HOSES
IN the vicinity. No had seen the family, and
the dreadful truth 1awned on the people that they
haI perished in the burning barn.
When the fire burned itself enough for the
hTemen to pun the debris aside the charred bodies
or Mrs Harrigan and her children found ~
Ing in heap under what left OF the hayloft.
Inc suppositon is that the insane woman climbed
the ladder 10 the loft with the children and then
set the hay fire. A oil and what
seemed 10 be fragments OF matches were found
in the ruins.
The fremen lifted the charred trunks out OF the
ruins and laid them on the grass. where they were
covered with quilts by the neghbors. The chill
