John o'Brien Lost Life in Dover, N. H.,
IRE Yesterday.

Dover, n. H., Nov. 13.--John 0'Brien,
aged about 60 years, was burned to
death in fire which took place in the
enement owned by James McNalIy on
Portland street, Sunday morning at LAS
o'clock. The fire was discovered by
Special Policeman Patrick Durgin. 1t
was caused by the explosion OF kero-
sene lamp that had been upset in 0'Bri-
ems room in the attic Of the house.
Officer Durgin, while patrolling his
beat, saw smoke issuing from the roof
Of the house, and immediately aroused
the occupants, who consisted OF Mr.. and
Mrs. McNally, 0'Brien and several other
boarders. After much difficulty all but
O'Brien succeeded in getting out of the
burning house.
The officer then rushed to box at
School and oPrtland streets, and rang
in an alarm.
The department promptly responded
and upon arriving found lively blaze
in progress. Several lines Of hose were
quickly laid from nearby hydrants and
the fire was confined to the upper part
of the building.
Mr.. O'Brien's body, partially dressed,
was found lying across the bed. He
came here from Lowell last spring, but
nothing could be learned as to his rela-
tives.
The loss on the building is about 5000
and was fully covered by insurance.
