MOTHER AND BABES PERISH

Woman and Three Children Burned to Death When Fire Destroys Home at St. Bernard, O. Cincinnati, O„ July 3.—A mother and her three children were burned to death at St. Bernard, a suburb, when fire invaded their home. The dead are Mrs. Cora Abbott, aged thirty-six; Edward, aged fourteen; Estella, aged thirteen, and Orville, aged ten. Mrs. Abbott rushed downstairs only to find her three children had not heard the alarm and were still sleeping. She rushed back to rescue them and was not heard from again, as the floors gave way a moment later.
