Frances Beresford, who, with her| husband, Frank, and her sister- ws Mary, lived on the top floor of No. M7 Second avenue, was badly burned early to-day while attempting to rescue her savings from the flames that had sud- flenly and unaccountably burst out In the bedroom of the apartment. Not only was she disfigured in her attempt, but the family hoard of $300 was reduced to @ pile of ashes. Mrs. Beresford was alone in the flat when the fire started. Her alster-in- Jaw had gone out to market and her husband, who js a gas man, was in- stalling @ plant at Rockaway Beach. | She was seated in the kntchen when | all at once she saw a burst of flame in | the adjoining room. Her first thought | was for the box in which she kept the savings. Regardless of smoke and fire she rushed into the room and en- deavored to secure the box. Her clothing and hair caught fire, and @he would undoubtedly have burned to death had not her sister-in-law, who ‘was entering the house at the time, geen the smoke and called upon Police- man Burns, of the East Fifty~fret street station, When Miss Beresford and Burns reached the burning upartment they found Mre. Beresford still endeavoring to get the money-box. Despite the flames that were soaring her flesh, she persisted and fought frenzledly when the policeman dragged her away. He had to exert all his strength to pre- vent her from returning to the blaaing room, The firemen made short work of the Gre, though not before the flames had Bwept the apartment bare of furniture.
