He Took It from the Mother After the
Father Had Left IL TO Burn.
A fireman and q baby had q narrow escape
from being killed yesterday morning at . ire in
the tenement at 2l5 Hester street. The fre
started about o'clock. On ono OF the floors
lived PLASTIC Fenon. At tho fret alarm of fire
Fenon ran out, leaving his baby behind. Mrs.
Fenon ran back and got the baby.
The smoke was dense that she could not
get out to tho street and she was cropping around
In tho smoke in the hall when Fireman Hughes
ran In and took tho child from her. Tho wo-
man managed to make her way to the street,
but when the fireman tried to follow with the
child. he found that escape was cut of by
flames.
The fireman climbed out on the front nrr es-
cape with the child. As he did this tho fire es-
cape began to sway in a threatening manner.
The fireman stepped back into the window Of
the tenement just as the fire escape. warped by
the heat, bent and broke In pieces.
The smoke now cleared away sufficiently to
permit tho fireman TO carry his youthful burden
down to the street In safety. The other tenants
In the house managed to make thoir escape
without difficulty. The FIRE was chiefly con-
fined to the apartments OF Fenon on the second
floor, where II ORIGINATED. The damage was
about $50. The cause Of the nre could not DO
