As q result of an oil stove taking
fire in an unaccountable manner in the
bedroom Of Mrs. Elizabeth TilsOn, last
evening about S.ij o'clock at her resi-
dence. l1j South Sumner avenue, she
is suffering from a very severe shock.
Mrs. Schcllrnberth, sthe nurse, is sever
~ burned about tie hands and face,
and the upper rooms of the residence
are smoked and burned to the extent OF
about $500 damage. This latter is fully
covered by insurance.
Prompt action on the part Of Alex
Bender, a neighbur, in quickly bringing
the Columbia Chemical company to the
scene prevented the destruction of the
dwelling. which is a double one story
building. Charles Fraser and family
residing in the other half. An unknown
man quickly carried Mrs. TilsUn, who
has been seriouslyill for nearly month
lately having had pneumonia. from the
house into Mr.. Bender's next door at
No llG. The nurse escaped herself.
Some one turned i'm an alarm from
box 50. corner of jackson street and
Main avenue, and when the Franklin's
responded directed them To the scene
of the fire. Their services were not
needed, however. and it was well thus
as the nearest hydrant was frozen.
Mrs. Tlson resides with her sOn-in-
law, Frank Shedd. and during her i'll
ness has been attended by DIR. +. G.
Hall Last evening she felt very much
improved and Mr.. and Mrs. Shedd
stepped out for a short time to make
a call, leaving the nurse in charge
Everything went well until about S45
o'clock when the nurse noticed the oil
stove, which was used to keep high
temperature in the room, was acting
wrong and suddenly blazed up. She
promptly picked it up and started for
the bath room which is in the rear of
the house. She had hardly gotten out
of the room before Mrs. Tilson sprang
out of bed and hurried after her.
The nurse got the stove into the
bath room and then tried to get Mrs.
Tilson back into bed. Meanwhile the
flames had attacked the d-wOrk.
Mrs. Schellenberth opened the window
and screamed for help. Mr.. Bender
and the unknown man responded. The
former went for the Chemicals and the
latter hurled into the burning house
and carried Mrs. Tilson out. DR.. Hall
was summoned, and found that she
was suffering from shocks and chill
Up to a late hour she was unconscious
Mr. and Mrs Shedd, who were only
n short distance away, were soon at
the bedside.

NOT AN ORDINARY RUNAWAY.
Many a slip and fall occurred on the
! sidewalks and streets of this side yes
| terday. owing to the thin glaze of ice
| and snow which was spread over
| everything. Especially was this 80 on
! the paved streets, when the horses
were little smooth-shod. An instance
| of the danger of such a condition of
| affairs occurred about noon on the hill
| which leads up West Lackawanna ave-
| nue. from the Delaware, LaCkawanna
| and Western crossing.
| Going down the Hill was a heavily
| loaded coal wagon and it pushed the
horses the whole length out onto the
! tracks before the horses could get
footing. A collision was narrowly
| avoided with a wagon loaded with feed
| in sacks, which was being pulled up
! the hill. This latter team got about
| three quarters of the way up and one
| of the horses fell. The driver jumped
! off and chained the rear wheels to pre-
vent the wagon going back. Bystand-
ers assisting both horses We're un-
! hitched and the PROSTATE horse gotten
! to it's feet.
! Meanwhile. some busybody loosened
/ the chain and away the wagon cOursed.
! The teamster, with rare presence of
| mind, grasped the tongue and success
! fully controlled the wagons wild flight

pleted a series of over 100 performances
there. The works presented are said TO

an orchestra of sixty pieces taking part in
the renderings-and the guarantee made
that the combination will be brought to
Washington intact together with the peo-
pie named in the casts announced assure
that the local engagement will be one
worthy of the patronage of all classes.
The troupe Will first be seen here on

pers recently. The opera will be sung in
German by Mines. Nordica and Schumann-
