The brother almost miraculously es caped Instilrp deatn also, for he was standing ho close to where the lightning struck that he was badly stunned, but not seriously injured. Otto Jansen Is survived by tils father, one sister, Mlsh Minnie Jansen; three brothers, Harry and Albert Jansen, of ' t fV:’"city, and- .ho Jiuw-fl; of -Du-blin.

No sooner had the fire at the. wagon works been extinguished when an alarm reached fire headquarters that the Re man home was afire. The telephone and fire alarm systems were out of or der as a result of the lightning and wind, and there was some delay in the firemen reaching the fire which was on the Hill. In going to this fire the ap paratus of Company No. 4 in charge of Captain Cartledge. bad the mishap to run into bad washout on Chafee avenue, considerably damaging the heavy truck. The front axle was badly twisted and one of the wheels smashed. The auto was put out of commission temporarily. No one was hurt. While directing the firemen on the Re man home Chief Frank G.
