SEVERAL OVERCOME BY SMOKE
Harriett Fee Went to Arouse Inmates of the House. Was Cut Of by the Flames and Burned
 to Death.

New York, December 20-A fierce fire started in the handsome house at 26O West Seventy-thrd street, occupied by Charles H.

 The fire started in the basement, and ih few minutes the lower part of the house was enveloped in flames.
 Jumped from Third Story
 There was panic and Mrs. Underwood, Mrs Raymond's younger sister, who had come here from Ohio to spend the Christ mas holidays, jumped from the third story window and was killed instantly. William Doerr, conductor, who, among many others had run to assist in the rescue, and who was ascending a ladder to try to help Mrs Underwood, was struck by her body as she fell and knocked to the pavement below. He struck an iron railing that sur rounded the house and was seriously in jured.
 Mrs. Raymond, who occupied a room on the second floor, was assisted to the window by her husband and stood on the sill panic stricken and calling for help. Two firemen went rapidly up, scaling ladders, while peo- pie on the street shouted to the Raymonds not to jump. They were so confused and frightened and half suffocated that they seemed not to know what they were doing.
 Fell from Window
 As the firemen neared the window, Mrs. Raymond stumbled and fell. Her night dress caught on rung of the ladder and her body whirled around as it fell to the Jagged area. She was picked up unconscious and died tonight
 Harriet Fee, domestic, who had run up stairs at the first alarm to arouse the per- sons sleeping in the house, was unable to death.
 MT. Raymond was himself rescued and taken to Roosevelt hospital where it was found he was suffering a great deal from having inhaled flames and smoke.
 It is claimed by the authorities that the casualties resulted by reason of a panic. The house was supplied with fire escapes and the firemen were early at-the scene.
