Nine Lives We're Lost By Fire il
Charleston.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 26.--Nine lives

for a short while in Church street this
Saturday morning. AT 2.10 o'clock
a policeman on duty noticed big
sparks flying from the tenement
house at No. 100 Church -cct. The
officer found that u blaze was issuing
from one Of the windows on the first
floor.
The doors were broken open and the
family on that floor rushed out with
out damage. Somebody yelled that a
family OF women were asleep on the
third floor. The police rushed up
stairs and when ythc reached the top
story the life saving work was stopped
by the flames, which seemed to be
playing over the entire building.
Screams from dying women we're heard
and officer Bagby rushed in and pulled
ont three charred bodies.
The quick work of the fire depart
mcnt checked the fire and it was soon
under control, but not until the lives
OF the third story had been lost.
The dead are: Mrs. Rebecca knick-
meyer. Albert ONcal, Caswell O'Neal,
Josephine Knickmeyer, Il years Of
age; Katie Knickmeyer, Is years;
Leonora Knickmcyer, 8 years; Fran
