~ SHVES CRLFRON ~ FATE LE HERS Florence Dohoney, Reformed Habitue of the Tenderioin, Prevents Drunken Mother from Selling Child to Men. REBUFFED BY PATROLMAN, AIDED BY SERGEANT. Little Maria Kelly Was Dragged About Streets by Mother, the Two Sleeping Wherever Night Found Them. ‘The face was not a strange one to the Magistrate when Florence Dohoney appeared {n Jefferson Market Court, but the ‘hangers-on were surprised when she ‘stepped forward as prosecutor instead As "Sheenle Flossie’ know character in the four months ago, but to-day she appeared to saye a child from a fate like her own. She had selzed little Maria Kelly from the hands of a drunken mother, who, of low! character in a saloon for $25. t The child was brought to court by tl i ,» Society agents to tell her pitiful sto: Her méther spent the night tn the Ten- derloin station on a charge of drunk- enness, Mrs, Kelly became addicted to the use of liquor years ago, and has steadily gone down the social scale, Six years ago her child was taken away from i her and sent to the Dominican Sisters : She was happy there and the Sist secured her a good home two we: ago wih Mrs, O'Donoghue, at No, 227 West One Hundred and Forty-second 4 street. Contented in Home. There, too, she was contented, for Mrs. O'Donoghue was kind to her and she ‘was made to feel at home. She had al- most forgotten the life of her baby- hood when her mother heard she was out of the convent und went to Mrs, O'Donoghue's house to olaim her, The woman had no legal papers to hold the child and let her go. For a week they walked the streets, sleeping, the child eays, wherever night “found them. Although Mrs. Kelly gave the police an address the child savs the street was their home, and that they ate seldom. Flossie Dohoney felt there was some- thing wrong when she saw the woman pulling the child into a saloon in Sev- enth avenue, She followed and says the woman, crazed with drink, was of- fering the child to a crowd of men for $35. produced a roll of bills. When. she. ~started.for the door.the drunken-woman lurched toward her. The man with the money struck at her, but she knew how to fight, and soon was outside with the child, Sergeant Gives Aid. A policeman from the West Thirty- seventh street station refused to Isten to the story, and told Flossie to go to the Tenderloin station if she had any troubles to tell. The sergeant there was more attentive, While Flossie was ex- plaining Mrs. Kelly came in, demanding ‘the return of her child, 's mine, and I'll sell her if T want to," she screamed, She was locked un. “Your face is familiar,” said the Magistrate when Flossie faced him to- @ay and told ‘how she had rescued the oretty child, "Yes," she replied, “I have been here before, but I never will be again unless it be as now, when I come to try to save a child from a fate like mine. “I know all about the Tenderloin. There ts nothing in. it, I. left it four months ago and am living an honest, decent life with my father. I'll never lose a chance to help the girls there or to keep young girls away from such @ life.” The child ds anxious to go back to Qirs, O'Donoghue's and it is likely that the Goclety will sond her there, ‘Sergt. MoCullagh, who fret gave attention to “ Flossie Dohoney's complaint, will aid the little girl to find a home. * A CLOSE ESCAPE. IN TENEMENT FIRE Baby’s. Screams Awakened Father Who Wraps Bed Clothing About His Family and Fights Way to Street. Gamuel Breslauer, hts wife and three small children, had a narrow escape from death in a'fire which partially de- ptroyed the tenement-house at No. 4) First street early to-day. Through fire and smoke they made thelr way up the steps from thelr rooms in the ‘base- ment, and none too soon. The fire started in a closet in their reoms, where It ts thought mice had Ignited matches. ‘The flames spread long a partition against which rested the crib of Max, the baby of the fam- fly. In ignorance of their danger the parents and two older children slept on ‘until the heat awakened the baby. He screamed lustily, and the father awoke to find the room filled with smoke. He selzed the baby in his arms and his wife took the next oldest child. The oldest boy clung to his mother’s night- gown, Flames confronted them as they started into the hall, but ie oman wrapped bed clothing around his wife @nd children and his way trough.
