Friday last (December 7th) at about 11 o'clock the alarm of fire was sounded, and everybody were soon on the move to the southern part of the city.
The dwelling-house of John Warnick at the foot of Olive street, together with a good portion of it's contents was burned to the ground.
Mrs. Warnick in explaining the origin of the fire said that she was starting a fire in the cook stove, using brush. She didn't know how it was, whether the brush had knocked the kerosene lamp down or whether it had exploded by the heat, anyhow, the lamp succeeded in doing considerable harm. Mrs. Warnick grabbed her babe and ran out of the house with it, and returning quickly secured an older child who has booth hands pretty severely blistered. Her own skirts were burned to the waist. Mrs. Conway did excellent service with a bucket of water, perhaps saving the life of Mrs. Warnick.
It is said that the loss on building and contents was at least $500 with no insurance whatever.
Since the above was written, Mrs. Warnick's injuries are regarded as very probably fatal to life. She has suffered fearfully. A purse of some $160 has been subscribed for the benefit of the family.

WARNICK--Mrs. John Warnick, who was so badly burned December 7, died last Monday noon, after suffering for ten long days.
She leaves five little children to mourn her loss. Mr. Warnick is a steady, industrious man, but his wages are small, and the loss of his house and its contents by the fire which proved so fatal to his wife, render the family fit objects for relief. Much in this line has already been done by kind hearted people, and more will be done as it is needed. Columbus citizens respond quickly to calls of charity, and this case is no exception.
