The two women and Baptste were aroused
by the cries, but the flames had
spread so rapidly that they seemed cut
OFT from escape. Mrs. Humbert and
Miss Marache, who sleeping on the second
floor front ran to the window and began screaming
for help. Meanwhile Officer GIlligan, who was on
his post had sent ont an alarm and the fremen had
arrived. Fireman Needham of Engine No. 20,
heard the cries Of the women, and although the
flames and smoke appeared to shut of all possible
access to the floors above, he heroically rushed
through them, and succeeded in reaching the room
occupied by Mrs. Humbert and her sister, both of
whom he found nearly overcome by the smoke and
heat. While he was ascending the stairs ladders had
been raised outside and the two women passed
out by Needham to Michael f. Riley, of Truck

the prompt and effective action Of the tiremen the
flames put out.
Michael Campbell, of Truck Com
pany No. 8, then went up to the
third floor. and at the foot of ladder leading to
the attic he found the body of Jean BaptIste. Bap

broke out, and, il seemed, finding his means of
cape cut off from below. had attempted to
reach the root, by means of o ladder
leading to the scuttle. At the foot
of this he had been evidently overcome by the
heat and had fallen there, aud died, His body
when found was badly burned. 1t was
taken to the Eighth Precinct Station. The
loss on the building, owned by z: Humbert,
is 81 900, and covered by insurance. The cause of
the tire Is unknown.
