Perry, Nov. 30-Luther GREENMAN, aged 40; his wife, aged 37; daughter Aime, aged 6; daughter Lottie, aged 3, and a baby not quite a year old, all lost their lives in the flames which consumed their home on the farm of Irving THOMPSON, four miles northeast of this village, yesterday morning. The details of the fearful holocaust have aroused the sympathy and horror of every inhabitant of the village. GREENMAN had been in the employ of THOMPSON for several years, assisting him on the farm in the capacity of foreman. He lived with his family in a house two stories in height about 300 yards from the residence of Mr. THOMPSON. He was regarded as an excellent workman and was in a fair way to soon become an independent small farmer when his fate overtook him. Mr. THOMPSON was aroused at 6:45 o'clock by the cries of his wife, who told him that the entire lower portion of the GREENMAN tenement was in flames. Mr. THOMPSON was just arising and rushing from the house hurried to warn the family. At this time the fire had probably been burning for a quarter of an hour. Mr. THOMPSON shouted, but received no answer from within the house. Then he placed his shoulder to the front door, which was locked and barred, and forced it down. He tried to enter the house, but the flames drove him back. Another door was tried, but the same opposition was met, and the entire interior of the house seemed to be in flames. Remembering that Mr. and Mrs. GREENMAN slept in a downstairs bedroom on the south side of the house, he hurried to the window opening from the apartment into the yard, and with a limb from an apple tree broke the sash and glass. Again he called and still he received no answer. As the window was broken clouds of smoke made their way to the outer air. Muffling his head in his coat, Mr. THOMPSON crept to the window-hole and thrust his arm into the room. The bed in which Mr. and Mrs. GREENMAN slept was next to the wall, and by stretching hi arm to the full length Mr. THOMPSON was able to grasp the man's legs. It was at once apparent to him that GREENMAN at least was dead. It was impossible of him to drag the body from the bed, as the flesh came from the bones and the smoke was too dense for any man to breathe and live. The flames continued to spread, an before Mr. THOMPSON could devise any means to remove the body, the entire side of the house blazed up and in a few minutes fell. When it was possible to explore the ruins the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. GREENMAN and the baby were found in the bed. The bodies were burned past all semblance of humanity. Where had been a room adjoining that occupied by the father and mother and baby brother were found the charred remains of the two little girls. It is believed the fire started from a defective chimney and that the occupants of the house were all overcome by smoke before the flames reached them. Two years ago the house occupied by the GREENMANS was burned and the family barely escaped. * * Divorce for Mrs. Koerner.
