CHILD TERRIBLY BURNED.
Distressing Accident on South Pear Alley
This Afternoon.

Shortly before one o'clock this afternoon
an alarm of fire was sounded from the box at
the corner of Jardin and Oak streets When
the 6remen responded they were directed to
house on Pear alley, just south of Cherry
street, but upon arrival there it was found
that the fire by which the alarm was caused
had been extinguished by bucket brigade,
but still further investigation also showed
that young child had been almost roasted
to death. The child was the three-year-old
daughter of John Gobinski, who occupies the
house to which the fire department was
called. 1t appears that large box had been
procured by member Of the household and
brought home to be chopped into fire wood
1t was left in the yard at. the rear of the
house. 1t was filed with straw, paper and
other refuse. The child that was burned and
her little brother got some matches and
started fire in the box The little girl ro-
ceived the full eutburst of the flames on her
face, chest and arms and was frightfully
burned before the mother could run out
from the house and lend aid 1t is believed
the child will die.
