Severely Burned.
]. f. Judge Escape Without
Injury in His Night Clothes.

Two Portland men were in the Webstol
house In Montreal Monday night wher
the disastrous fire broke out which
proved fatal to several people. Charles
Pratt, conductor on the Grand Trunk X
X. who was one Of these arrived home
last evening suffering from severe burns
and injuries which he received in the
tire.
1t has been the custom of Mr.. Pratt &c
stop at the Webster house In Montreal
evsr since be has been making the run
from Portland to that city. On Monday
night he retired at the usual time to his
room on tho fourth floor and was aslesp
when the fire broke ont at five O'Clock In
the morning. The baggage master Of MIR.
Pratt's trsin, Mr.. James 4. Judge,
also of this city, was stopping in the same
house and roomed on the same floor with
Mr.. Frstt.
MIR. Pratt was awakened by the smoke
and the noise which was made By the
inmates Of the house when the fire was
discovered. He put on part Of his cloth
ing and without waiting to secure his
valuables or fully dress himself made an
attempt to escape by the stairway. He
reached the third floor the corridors OF
which were full of smoke and found his
escape 10 that way out of. With several
other men Mr.. Judge among the number,
Mr.. Pratt ran into front room on this
floor and closed the door behind him. The
fire gained Roadway rapidly and the room
was Tiled with smoke. Some Of the men
in the room with Mr.. Pratt completely
lest their heads and one Of them. I. Q
Benbow by name In frenzy Of fear
leaped onto the window sill and jumped
to tn, ground, three stories beneath.
Mr.. Pratt was leaning out Of the window
of the room at the time trying to get n
breath of air and the man In jumping to
the window sill out Mr.. Pratt's hands
very severely. The other men In this
room Of whom there were five or sig,
waited until the tremen had succeeded
in placing ladder up to the window.
This ladder was not long enough to
reach to the ground but came within q
story Of 1t. The occupants Of the room
made their escspe by this ladder about
which the flames from the furnace below
were leiping. MIR. Pratt's left hand and
his face were badly burned and his right
hand WAS severely cut and bruised by the
the injuries 1t received when Benbow
jumped onto the window sill. He had
a very narrow escape from death as did
all the other occupants OF this room.
Mr.. Judge escaped Without being in
jured but lost nearly all of his clothing
and someof his valvatlss
MIR. Pratt was forced to walk to the
railroad station bare headed. bare footed
and only partially clothed where he re-
osived some medical attendance. He ar.
rived at home last night at six O'Clock
and was taken to his home where he was
attended by DIR. Marshall.
