Lost.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.-At4 4. 80 o'clocl
this morning an alarm Of fire wa

had been buried in the ruins or drown
ed. The occupants of the front portion
had given an alarm, and before the rea
cause could be ascertained the tirt
alarm was sounded. The tfremen in
conjunction with the police, made
heroic efforts to rescue the living and
recover the bodies of the dead.
The buildings were occupied as board.
inghOuses by Robert Kyle and George
Oyster. There were about thirty-tiye
people at the time, ten Of whom were
killed.
The rescued women were conveyed in
patrol wagon to fire engine house in
the vicinity, where they were made
comfortable by a fire. Mrs. Kyle,
whose son was lost in the ruins, was in.
consolable. She imagined her boy was
alive and struggling for his freedom.
Then she gave him up for lost, and her
agony was heartrending. Mrs. Webb,
who occupied room in the part that
fell, says she could not sleep for the
cracking of the walls. She thought at
first it was paper affected by water,
but afterward thought it was something
worse. 81 got up at last" she said
"and awakened Mary Golfer and told
her we must get up, that something was
going to happen. | went to the door of

together ! do not know how escaped,
but | crawled out and screamed.
This was told between sobs, as the
poor woman bemoaned her room mate,
Mary Golfer, and the girl named Maud
Ellis.
The occupants Of the house say they
called the attention of the owner last
summer TO the weakness of the rear
wall but IT. was not repaired. One of
them thinks the wooden lintle over the
rear cellar door broke from the effect of
the water and left the rear wall down
The body of Thomas Burk was re-
covered shortly before noon. 1t was
crushed fearfully.
The accident has spread terror among
the occupants of similar old buildings
in the flooded district. Many who can
