Philadelphia, March 6. There was an
excited flutter about the three story
brick Italian tenement house at 643
Washington avenue yesterday morning,
when a fire started in the rear room of
the second floor and a spire of black
smoke wound out of one of the back
windows. The 20 tenants thought they
were doomed.
Screaming at the top of her voice,
Mrs. Annetta Maruccl ran up the front
stairway and threw her weight against
the door of the room adjoining the one
that was ablaze. She is a small woman,
and the barrier would not give way
easily. Finally the door swung open
and she saw her two children, Amelia,
3 years old, and James, 2 years old,
huddled, limp and unconscious, in a
corner.
- The room was filled with smoke, and
Mrs. Maruccl staggered as she carried
the two little onea out Into the narrow
hallway and down to the street. An
ambulance had been summoned, and
the half smothered chHdren were hus

Jamea will recover, but Amelia la in a
