ONE DEAD; 18 OTHERS
NEARLY SUFFOcATED

Erie, Pa, Aug 26.-Captain Patrick
MacMahon of the yacht Mystic, was
burned to death and eighteen persons
were almost suffocated in a fire that
started on the third floor of the Charos
Heck block early today. The r7c-etary
loss was not heavy. When the firemen
arrived they found eighteen occupants
asleep. and almost dead from suffo-
cation. With difficulty they were fin
ally gotten out of danger. The fire
started in MacMahon's room and prob
ably was caused by he having thrown
q lighted cigar on the floor when he
went to sleep. Captain MacMahon was
prominent in the marine interests and
was recently distinguished by receiving
medal from congress for srescuing a
drowning man.
