DEATH BY FIRE.

Yesterday morning Mrs. Mary Blair,
wife of Mr.. Edward Blair, an engineer
on the Seaboard Air Line, went out in
front of her house. corner OF Queen and
EflinEham streets, to make purchase
from cart While out there she heard
scream from her child, and ran in
the house and found her little i-year-
old son, Eugene, all in n blaze She
worked hard to extinguish the fire, but
did not succeed until the child was so
badly burned that it will be impossible
for him to live Drs. Hope and Claud
were summoned. but found the chld's
burns were SO bad that il is almost i'm
possible for him to live. Mrs. Blair the
mother of the child is heartbroken.
The child was unusually bright. The
cause of his catching on fire will ever
remain a mystery, but it is thought
that he came too near to CRATE in the
room, and that his clothing caught.

low died in great agony. The funeral
will take place this morning at 10
o'clock privately from the residence.
