Sad Fate of Infant Child of William
Schlosser in Yesterdays Fire-Fran-
tic Efforts of Mother to Save the Lit
tie One
Eva Agnes Schlosser, the six months
old daughter Of William Schlosser, was
burned to death by the fire in the ten
ement house at 1T Hamilton street
yesterday morning
The child had been left asleep in it's
cradle by the mother a short time be-
fore the fire broke out, while she went
to purchase milk in the store on the
ground floor Of the building.
While ascending the stairs to the
third floor where her apartments are
situated she discovered the flames is
suing from the rooms and at once
rushed to the rescue of her little one.
She attempted to enter the room where
the child was, but was driven back for
an instant by the intense heat and the
smoke and flames, which drove in her
face as she opened the door.
She was prevented from rushing in
to the danger by her relatives and
friends who had speedily arrived on
the scene and forcibly restrained her.
Louis Schmidt and Barkeeper Boe-
neck We're also driven back by the
searching flames when attempting to
reach the child.
Members of No SIS engine house sue
ceeded in getting the flames under con-
troll after a hard half hours tussle
with them, and then it was that the
body of the child was recovered, the
clothes completely destroyed, the feat
ures burned so as to be unrecognizable
and the body itself nearly burned to a
crisp.
The body was at once carried to the
Grand avenue precinct, where Coroner
Mix made the required examination.
The mother of the child was nearly
frantic with grief at the terrible fate
of her child.
Several other inmates of the house
| had to be removed to the adjoining
| houses Among the number Mrs Jo-
| seph Hugo, grandmother Of the child,
was carried across the roof of the
| building to a place of safety below.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The damage to the building and con-
! tents will probably approximate $1,000,
part of which is covered by insur-
ance.
