DEATH BY FLAMES.
Exploding lamp Sets House on Fire and the Smoke Stupefied Occupants.
Uniontown, Pa., (Special.) Charles, Thomas and Allen Stott, sons of William
Stott, were burned to death in their home at Coal Run, Somerset county, and the
residence destroyed. Their parents were with difficulty saved, and were severely
burned before they could get out. The young men, aged nineteen, sixteen and fourteen
years, respectively, came home from their work as usual. They went to bed, leaving a
light burning, which exploded about four o'clock, and set the building on fire.
Neighbors saw the flames, and hurried to assist, and were horrified to discover that
none of the family bad stirred. They broke in the door below, and discovered Stott
and his wife sleeping in a lower room with the flames all around them. The dense
smoke had stupefied them.
