Connellsville. Pa. July 29.-Cecelia
Tressler, twelve years old, was elec-
trocuted. and her sister Hazel, seven
teen years old, is in a precarious con.
dition as the result of the younger girl
grasping a live wire near their home
in South Connellsville. The two were
picking berries among thick bushes,
when Cecilia in pushing the branches
aside, seized trolley feed wire which
had been blown down. She screamed
and Hazel rushed to her assistance
When the latter touched her younger
sister she stepped into a pool of wa
ter and was knocked down. Hazels
cries attracted attention Of passers-by
who found Cecilia dead. BY cutting
the wire they extricated her body from
the bushes. The dead girls clothing
was partly burned off, while her arms
were roasted to a crisp.

Fagots were piled up in the public
square at Greenville and the negro
was placed thereon. Kerosene oil was
poured on and a match applied. Smith
slowly burned to death, while a thou
sand people witnessed the execution
by fire.
The mans sufferings were frightful,
but nobody was permitted to go near
until his body was burned to a crisp.

PATIENTS SAVED
HOSPITAL BURNS
Forty Carried From Building
at Lock Haven, Pa,
THE BUILDING DESTROYED

Reseuers fastened From One Room to
Another Moving Sufferers From the
Burning strueture-Many Were Sc
riously ~ and Some Had Undergone
Operations - Police Kept Anxious
Relatives and Friends From Entering.
Not Believed Any Patients Suffered
Fatally From Their Experiences.
Lock Haven, Pa, July 29.-Forty pa
tients. many OF whom were helpless,
were imperiled when the new $4,000
hospital at this place was destroyed by
fire For a time the rescuers ran
close race with the flames. Working
in halls filled with smoke, white-elaa
nurses and volunteers FASTENED from
one room to another, moving sufferers
from the building as they lay in their
cots. or pushing them to the fresh air
in wheel chairs.
Some OF hose endangered had re-
Gently undergone severe operations.
Others we're seriously i'll with disease.
Helpless. they were forced to listen to
the sweep OF the flames and the ex-
cited cries Of the crowds outside the
building. until is came their turn to
be taken outside to safety.
Throughout the contest none OF the
workers was more active than Miss
Happersett. the superintendent OF the
hospital. Directing every squad OF the
helpless. she chung to her post in the
main hall OF the building until the last
sufferer had been removed TO safety.
Then. as she walked toward the
door. she fell. overcome by the heat OF
the flames. and had to be carried out
side by the nurses whose efforts she
had been supervising. For time her
condition was considered serious.
The fire started in the top story OF
the building. AS soon as it was discoy-
cred a general alarm was sent to the
fire department. all the engines OF
which responded. The water pressure
was poor. and the fremen could do
little to check the rapid advance Of
the flames.
Drawn by the report of the fire, hun
dreds of persons, including every doe
tor in the city, went to the hospital
Friends and relatives OF persons inside
fought with the police in their eager
ness and anxiety.
But. acting under orders. the blue
coats kept the crowd back, while the
force Of rescuers brought one after an,
other of the inmates Of the hospita
to the lawn.
There they were loaded aboard wag-
ons and ambulances and taken to
places where they could be properly
cared for Many of them were taken
to the Central State Normal schoo'.
which is peculiarly adapted for the
emergency. While all the patients
afterward showed the effects of the or
deal through which they had passed.
it is not believed that any have SUI
fered fatally.
Unable to stay the flames, the fire
men were forced to watch the hand
some structure burn almost to the
ground. The hospital was recently
erected at a cost of $4,000, but the
equipment and furnishing cost $4,000
more. The loss will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, Only $4,000 insur-
ance was carried.
