She jumped out of her room

Early this morning a fire broke out at Mr. Jelling's, hosier, near Ratcliff highway, which greatly damaged the inside of the house before it could be extinguished. A young lady who lodged with Mr. Jelling, was so terrified when she was awakened by the alarm of fire, that she jumped out of her room window into the street, and falling with her head against a post, was killed on the spot.
