ONE CORPSE COULD NOT BE DIS

Altoona, Pa, Dec. 3.-Five persons,
mother and her four children, were
burned to death at Gwynn station on
the Wopsononock railroad three miles
north of this city early yesterday. The
husband escaped with severe injuries.
The dead are:
Mrs. Mary G. Burke, aged As years;
Adam Burke, 16: Mary Burke, 10; John
Burke, II; Josie Victoria Burke, S.
Charles Burke, the husband, is seri-
ously burned about the back. Mrs.
Burke and the children, save Adam, re-
tired at the usual hour Saturday night.
Mr.. Burke, who was in Altoona, did
not get home until late. The lamp was
burning in the kitchen for him. Before
he went upstairs he turned it low. A
lunch was left on the kitchen table for
Adam, who was a stage hand at the
Altoona opera house. 1t is not known
what time Adam came home.
Mrs. Burke was awakened by a
dense smoke in her room. She awoke
her husband, who found the kitchen
ablaze. Burke's clothing was ignited,
but he rolled in the snow to extinguish
the flames. He then summoned assis.
tance from the neighbors, but when
they arrived there was no hope of saw
ing the inmates. Burke was sent to-
thu hospital, PROSTATE with grief. The
house was soon consumed and the
bodies, charred and blackened, were
recovered. One corpse could not be
identified from the other. The general
opinion is that Adam forgot to ex-
tinguish the light in the lamp when he.
retired and that lamp was in some way
upset, possibly by the family dog.
