MOTHER'S BRAVE DEED.
Dropped Her
Children From Third Story Into an Awning.
Mrs. Jacob BURRY performed
a deed yesterday that stamped her as a woman whose bravery is tempered by
excellent judgment. She dropped her three children into a partly opened
awning from her home in the third story of a building at No. ?4 Hanover
street, in order to save them from what appeared to be certain death by
burning.
It was about 9 o'clock yesterday morning when Simon
LAZARUS, who works in a grocery store on the ground floor of the building,
heard Mrs. BURRY screaming fire. He ran up to her apartment and saw that
a small oil stove was ablaze and the carpet on fire. He picked up
the stove and ran to the door intending to throw it into the street.
The flames were borne back into his face and he was compelled to throw
it down the stairs, which were set on fire.
Mrs. BURRY was
frantic with alarm and seeing that the best avenue of escape had been cut off
ran to the front window. Before she could be stopped she had leaned from the
widow and, after dropping the three children on the half opened awning in
front of the store, had thrown herself after them. Her weight caused her to
break through the awning to the sidewalk below. She was uninjured, however,
and the children had not a scratch on them.
In the meantime
LAZARUS had gone back into the kitchen and tried to extinguish the burning
carpet. He also warned Jacob BROWN and family and Mrs. SAMUELS and her
children, who live on the second floor. Some one had sent in an alarm from
box 62 corner of Hudson avenue and Rhine street. The department easily
extinguished the flames. They did not do any great damage beyond burning the
carpet.
Mrs. BURRY was congratulated by the firemen on her coolness
in the midst of her fright and LAZARUS was also complimented on
his bravery. He was painfully though not seriously burned about the
hands and face.
