eating of the fire.
It was seen that the smoke came
from the cellar, to which all rushed,
and It was found that Miss Feeney
was lying under the platform suffering
greatly from the fire, which was fast
burning her up. The fire was put out
with q pai1fui of water, and she was
taken up onto the floor above. The
grocers wagon belonging to M. 3.
Pnentiee was secured to take her to
the hospital, that she might get there
as soon as possible. She was attend
ed by DIR. Cassidy, who did all possible
but said it was the worst Ease of burn :
ing he had ever seen in his long ex=
perlence.
She was burned from head to foot,
and though she lost consciousness at
the beginning. she revived and recpg-
nized the doctor at the hospital. She
was burned almost to a crisp, and the
removal of clothing caused the flesh
to come with it. 1t was the opinion
of the doctor that after suffering the
terrible shock from the burning ex-
perience early, she was not in pain
fer long period.
It was at the hospital that she gave
her name and age and stated that she
had no relatives here, but had foul
nephews and four flieces in ProW-
dence and sisters in Ireland, where
she was born. She had lived in the
Falls for number of years and was
well known there. Word was sent tc
James Feeney of Providence, a neph-
ew, who came here on Sunday, but

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
New Haven Read Can Fence Off Maple
Avenue, New London.

The injunction which the city of
New London obtained on February 10,
1910, restraining the n. Y, N. H. &
H. R. r. railroad from fencing off Ma
pie avenue. was dissolved Saturday in
the court of common pleas by a de-
cision of Judge Charles B. Waller. The
city subsequently sought to have the
injunction made permanent and it was
on this motion that the 6ase was de-
cided.
Judge Waller signed the temporary
injunction while the police were pre-
venting a score Of laborers, who under
the direction of the railroads law
yers, were attempting to build a fence
across the avenue.
The controversy arose when the
sewer department was laying sewer
pipe under the Maple avenue crossing.
1t was enjoined by the railroad COM
pany from continuing, but later a
compromise was effected and the
sewer was completed. Then the at
tempt to establish its right to the
ownership of the land occupied by the
tracks was laid.
The claim of the city was that
Maple avenue was a highway and had
been so for such a length of time as
prevent its being fenced. The rail-
roads contention was that the street
was laid out after the statute was
passed which prohibited cities and
towns from constructing thoroughfares
at grade over railroad tracks. This
contention was sustained in the de-
ciSion by Judge Waller

Miss Ann Feeney Was Afre in Cellar When Found
Lived Few Hours at Hospital Having Been Burn
ed Nearly to Crisp.

There was a fatal burning case at
the Falls on Saturday afternoon, when
Ann Feeney, aged IS, was SO badly
burned about 1.30 O'Clock that she
passed away about o'clock at the

in the Falls boarding house, for the
past four weeks she had kept house at
No. PAS Yantic street, where she lived
alone. Just how she came to get afire
will probably never be known, but 1t
is supposed that she was at work
about a two- burner oil stove. The
stove was not lighted, but near 1t was
glass full of kerosene, some of
which may have been spilled on her
clothing. 1t is thought that in attempt
became ignited, and, becoming excit-
ed at the situation, she rushed down
cellar instead of into the yard. She
was found lying under the platform
of the stairs, blazing from head to
foot and Burned almost to a crisp. 1t
is not known whether she cried out
or not at first, but no yelIs were heard,
and neighbors were attra cted by tie
smoke of burning clothes.
Attracted by the smoke, an investi-
cation was begun by Stanisaus and
Joseph Pannek, who lives upstairs, and
while looking about for the origin of
the smoke they heard Miss Feeney's
cries. 1t was Impossible to get in at
the door, which was locked. but they
