dispatches say the feeling of indignation al
the wav in which the fire was managed is
growing very bitter. Chief Engineer

and is accused of losing all control ovel

building. There were two hook and ladder
lcompanies, who were provided with ladders
tthirtv-five feet long, which could have beer
spliced so as to reach the upper stories, thu
highest of which was but sixty-three fee
from the ground. No attempt was madi

women in the top story. Many declar

to blame for not having the machiner
stopped, and thought to put out the. tir

fifteen minutes before sounding an alarm

{ who declared she begged and prayed to haN
J the door opened, but it was refused. Thes
