FIRE IN LONDON.
A FAMILY SUFFOCATED,
LONDON, December 27,
A fire in Dixie-street, Bethnal Green, burned to death Mrs Jarvis and nine children, whose ages ranged from 16 years to eight months. The unfortunate victims earned their living by making matches. Most of them were suffocated in their sleep. A curious coincidence was that the father died from consumption in the hospital on the same day as the family perished.
