since then the work of enlisting recruits
and securing material aid for the Cubans

Her DRESS CAUGHT FIRE,
MRS. ISAAC LOEB SEVERELY BURN
ED WHILE COOKING.
Her Husband. in Trying to Extinguish
the Flames, Also Received Burns
but Little Chance for
Her Recovery.

Mrs Isaac Loeb, wife of butcher, living
on the third floor of the Stewart flats, at
623 East Fourteenth street, was painfully
and perhaps fatally burned yesterday at
about Ills o'clock, while preparing dinner
over gas stove. The stove stands in the
corner of a room very near a door leading
into another room, and Mrs. Loeb in pass
ing to and fro, swept the folds of loose
dress she was wearing against the flame
in the stove and was almost instantly a
mass of flames. In her agony, she ran
screaming from the rear room to the front
room, where her husband was, the bits of
her burning dress dropping to the carpet,
which was soon in 4 blaze in several
places.
Mr.. Loeb heard his wife's first scream
and jumped up, only TO meet her coming
toward him. Without thinking what would
be the result, in his eagerness to be of as
sistance to the unfortunate woman, Loeb
threw his arms about his wife and was
burned badly about the hands and face.
This brought him to a realization of the
situation and swiftly procuring blanket
he threw it about his wife's form and eX-
tinguished the flames. But Mrs. Loeb was
terribly burned before the fire was put
out. Her dress had been completely burned
from her and the flesh on her body and
limbs and hands was almost cooked. Her
face also suffered from the flames and it
is thought she inhaled them.
Edith Mcconnell, a girl living next door,
heard Mrs. Loeb screaming and ran into
the house, arriving in time to be of great
assistance TO Mr.. Loeb in eXtinguishing
the burning carpet. DR.. a. l.. Michael of
lai at-
tended Mrs. Loeb's wounds. He gave it
as his opinion last night that she would
hardly withstand the shock, although there
might be chance for her recovery. Mr..
Loeb is a butcher at the packing house of
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, and has three
sons living in Chicago They were wired
last night to come home.
