DESERTS THE WIDOW
At THE ALTAR
A ViFginian Changes His Mind About
Marrying.

Richmond, Va. Especially Mrs
Blanche Diggs, pretty widow of 10
months, who was to have been mar
ried at night to r. G. Fueral, was
deserted at the altar, after the we'd
ding feast had been prepared and the
house decorated, and while the min
lister and the guests were in attend
ance.
The coy little home on Clay
Street was decorated for the cere-
monY, the friends of the contracting
parties had assembled, the minister,
Rev. DR.. Hicks, of Manchester Bap-
list Church, was on hand, and the
bride was preparing fer her second
wedding, when letter handed in by
p0stman informed the young widow
that her ungallant lover had chang
ed his mind.
In his letter the bridegroom stated
that he had come to the conclusion
that it would not be best for him to
marry. It is learned that on Friday
morning Fueral packed his clothing
in suitcase and left his boarding
house, since which time nothing has
been heard of him. He paid his
board bill before leaving.
Friday afternoon. prior to the date
set for the wedding, Mrs. Diggsswent
to Ashland to spend the day with her
sister, and consequently. she did not
know of her fiance's disappearance
until she started home, about noon
Saturday. She at first would not be-
lieve that he had deserted her, and
contended until the receipt of his let
ter that he would surely be present
in time for the ceremony.
Three weeks ago ]. H. Humphreys,
proprietor of the clearinghouse in
which Mrs. Diggs lived, inserted an
advertisement in newspaper for a
young man to occupy a large front
room in private family. Fueral
was attracted, was given board, and
theres met the woman he was destin-
ed to court, win and afterward desert.
At first the couple saw little of
each ether, but two weeks ago their
attachment became closer, and Thurs
day the announcement was made that
the wedding would take place Sat
urday. Since the death of her hus-
band Mrs. Diggs has been employed
in large dry goods store, having
been thrown upon her own resources
to make a living.

WAS ROASTED ALIVE
ON THE FIRE ESCAPE.
Child's Horrible Death During Tene-

New York Especially Four per-
sons were killed and IL injured in O.
fire believed to be of incendiary or
igin, which practically destroyed the
five-story tenement house at 101 Or

Allen Streets. where 26 persons were,
burned to death in a tenement house
fire three years ago.
The dead are:
Eva Berg, SO years old.
samuel Sach, 10 years old.
Hattie Kopelmann, 2k years old.
Unidentified man.
The fire was first seen by a police.
man, whose call for assistance
brought several other officers to his.
assistance, and in a moment nearly
everyone in the house had been
aroused and the fire escapes were
choked with frightened tenants. The
policemen carried several children tc
the ground before the firemen ar.
rived. BY that time men. women and
children were packed SO closely on
the narrow platforms of the fire es-
capes that no one could get down.
While persons in the building, who
had been unable to get out because
all the windows leading to the fire
escapes were crowded, struggled for
exit on one side, the fremen on ex-
tension ladders labored on the other.
One by one women and children were
dragged from the overloaded plat
forms by the firemen and carried
down the extension ladders to the
street and safety. More than hun
dred persons were taken from the
fire escapes in this way.
In the meantime those who had
been forced to remain in the blazing
house, finding escape by windows
and stairways blocked, sought to get
out ON the roof. Not one of them
succeeded in reaching the roof, how
ever, as the flames had swept up the
stairways and spread all through the
upper part of the building.
1t was while attempting to reach
the upper part of the house that lit
tie Hattie Kopelmann lost her life and
her mother had remarkably narrow
escape from death. Mrs Kopelmanu,
had gone out on fire escape intend
ing to make her way to the roof as
the flames were sweeping around the
lower part of the iron ladder. She
had the child in her arms when she
stepped through the window to the
platform. A misstep caused her to
fall, and as she struck the side of
the platform Hattie fell from her
arms and rolled through the OPEN
ing in the platform to the platform
of the floor below. which was red
hot. There the child was burned to
death before anyone could reach her.
Mrs. Kopelmann rolled acorss the
opening, but saved herself from fall
ing through. Mrs. Eva Berg and the
Sach boy were burned to death in
their rooms, apparently having been
overcome by smoke while asleep.
