baltimore womnn Used stove ms a
Safe Deposit.

BALTIMORE. Nd. Dec. 29.-Mrs. Pat
rick Walsh. of 1916 West Fayette Street.
whose husband is contractor. is dis
tressed over the burning OF 500 in green
backs on Monday last by the making OF
fire in the parlor stove, the bottom Of
which she had utilized as a bank.
She had been saving the money for
long time. and up to about two weeks ago
kept it in one of the bedrooms of the
house Fearful, however. that some one
might steal It, she placed it in the stove,
in which no fire had been made since last
winter She pushed the notes far inside
under the CRATE, where the ashpan is
usually kept. She told no one of the hid
ing place and felt that she need not give
herself any concern.
Monday morning che awakened her son.
Bernard Walsh. earlier than usual, telling
him that she wanted him to assist her in
laying the parlor carpet While he was
getting ready she left the house to 90
about two squares to inspect house
which she owns and from which a tenant
had Just removed.
ON her return she was horror stricken
TO find q fire blazing in the parlOr stove.
In her absence her son had made a fire so
that the room would be warm. He was
startled when his mother exclaimed. "Oh,
my money!" Without waiting an instant
she fell on her knees on the floor in front
Of the stove and thrust her left hand in
side She recovered small roll OF chaTrod
notes. but her hand and arm were pain
fully burned. Large blisters formed on
the tips Of her fingers, and her arm al
most to the elbow was scared. The notes
were burned to such an extent that the
denomination cannot be decipheTed and
they are. therefore, thought to be worth
less.
Mrs. Walsh said that the money had
been given TO her by her sons from their
earnings. anG that she had been saving
II to meet obligations as they would ma
ture. She said that one Of her sons had
suggested TO her short time ago that she
pay bill Of $500 for lumber but she told
him that she would attend to the matter
later She regrets now that she did not
pay the bill and intimates that hereafter
when she wants 10 conceal money she will
choose some less risky place than the
bottom of stove.
