FATAL BURNING.
Miss Esther Pigeon Vic
tim Of an Explo-
sion.

Miss Esther Pigeon, the 19-year-old
daughter of Frank Pigeon, a carpenter,
living at II Sutton road, was fatally
burned yesterday afternoon about .
o'clock, by the explosion of a kerosene
stove and died four hours later, at the
City Hospital.
1t is the second time that Miss Pigeon
has been injured around fires in a
month. Aug IL she was badly scalded
at her home, in taking some hot water
off stove, and at that time was also
taken to the City Hospital, where she
remained until the oath of the month.
No one was in the room at the time
the accident happened, and the first in
tlmation the people living on the first
hoor of the house had of IL was when
Miss Pigeon rushed down stairs with
her clothes and hair afire.
Mrs. Joseph Soly who occupies the
lower tenement, made an attempt to
put the flames out and at the same
time called for help. George Cook, who
lives in the next house, heard the cries
and he rushed into the house and made
a brave attempt to rescue the young
woman. His right hand was badly
burned and he, too had to be taken to
the City Hospital for treatment.
As soon as he touched her with the
intention of tearing off her clothes.
pieces of burned flesh dropped to the
floor, and before the flames could be
put out, the unfortunate woman had
fallen exhausted, after making a brave
attempt to rid herself of her burning
garments.
She did not gain consciousness at the
City Hospital and passed away at 9
o'clock. Undertaken Frank E. Murray
took charge of the body, and the fu-
neral services will probably be held
tomorrow.
Mr.. Cook was discharged from the
hospital after his wound was dressed.

st. Louis. Sept. 9.-An informal meeting
