BURN IN TENEMENT FIRE.

Hundreds Stand Powerless In Streets While Flames Overcome Children. In the presence of hundreds of persons, who stood powerless in the street, two little girls were burned to death and a woman was instantly killed by jumping from a third story window in a fierce fire caused by the accidental overturning of an oil stove in a three-story frame tenement at 219 Graham street, Williamsburg, N. Y. The dead are: Annie Beck, ten year old; Tillie Beck, aged three; Mrs. Rotgizer.
