LUCKILY AT HOME.
Saith Fireman Saves Own Children
From Fire in His Own Horne,

Bath, Me. Dec. 3O-AIthough a fire

"a at home from a firemens BAH
Wednesday evening to give his wife an
opportunity to enjoy herself. During
his momentary absence from the room
their baby set the house afire and it
was only by miracle that the child,s
life was saved.
Mr.. DonnelPs house is located out on
Court street and it was there the
head of the family was spending the
evening with his 2R -year-old son, Har-
3D. while his 6-weeks-old baby, Eve
!yn, was in bed for the night.
Mr.. Dornell went to his shed on an
GRAND, leaving the baby playing in
the kitchen. When he returned he
ound the child mass of flame which
had then reached his neck. The father
wrapped a rug about his little body and
at once took him out of doors and then
vent back after the other baby to re-
move her to place Of safety, for at
that time the house was on fire.
The father attempted to draw a
bucket of water to put on the flames.
when he found the water was frozen.
Unable to accomplish anything he call
ed for help and general alarm was
rung in, which caused stampede at
The firemens ball. The blaze was cas-
lily extinguished.
Ne. Donnell believes that his son
must have got hold Of the matches and
perhaps played with them about the
stove or lighted lamp and that this
accounts for the sudden starting of the
fire about the youngsters clothing.
Tho damage is placed at $500, partially
covered by insurance.
