this morning. She was engaged by Mr.
Francis Yesterday to attend the lat

aroused by the strong smell of smoke.
She Immediately gave the alarm and
awakened the sleeping members Of the
household, giving them just sufficient
time to dress and leave the building
before the fire had gained great head
way. There was danger, however, Of
sufication by smoke and they were
aroused none too soon. Unmindful Of
her own danger Miss Hook first gave
attention to Miss Francis, who was
quickly taken from the burning house
and removed to the Delaware Hospital
where she is now being treated.
Mr.. Francis aroused the neighbor-
hood by his cries Of fire and w. A. Aus
tin, who resides next door hastily
dressed and went to his assistance. Mr..
Austin's daughter in the meantime
telephoned to the Washington Fire
Company for the chemical apparatus.

were then turned on the house and the
blaze finally gotten under control

tents is estimated at about $4,000, fully
covered by insurance. The structure
was erected by Mr. Francis about foui
