concluded between the Government at

uuired aid in maintaining the transit route
clear for commerce, mail and passengers. ]

occupied as follows: Henry L. Judd Co.,
the whole Of the top or fifth floor. They
also occupied floors in the main building,
which fronted on State street. They alone
employed about three hundred hands. The
fourth floor was occupied by C. W. Butler
4 Bro, tin dealers, who had one half and
Benz Moore & Co, eslson finish makers,
who had the other halt. VIM. burst, metal
spinner, had half Of the second floor. The
other portion was not occupied. Geo.
Young had half OF the FIRST floor as machine
shops and Wm. Daniels nschinist, the
other half These were all the occupants
of the building. When Mr.. Abbott was
asked how many men there were in the
building at the time it fell he said, don't
know, about forty Il guess"
The Super .ntendent OF II. l.. Judd X
Co. laughed at this. "Why," he said: I'VE
have 500 hands alone and suppose there
were over 100 in the building"
All tried to save ourselves at first, and
most had got out when the flames were dis
covered. We had q lot Of hand grenades
and used them to check the FIRE. They did
so when they were thrown, but the he-t was
so intense thai the flames world soon burst
out again and we had to save ourselves and
let the FIRE go ahead. In the different
manufacturing places
In the Buildings There Were 700 People,
In the New York tin companY's employ
there were thirty or forty girls employed.
Whether al escaped is q question which
cannot be solved Some of them we're seen
shrieking wildly upon the iron fire escape
Of the fourth floor where the factory was lo-
Gated. Flames seemed to leap from floor
to floor and from building to building with
q celebrity that battles description. Within
an hour the whole mass Of structures was in
ruins, with the exception of No. Z,
which fronts on Colombia street, but which
was thoroughly gutted. The general ex-
citement grew into panic when it was re-
ported that several employees had been
crushed and burned to death. While the
excitement was at its height four explosions
were heard in quick succession. The four
engine boilers under the State street side
walk had burst Many employees in the
neighborhood and friends and relatives were
quickly on the ground in State OF wild
alarm.

man Daniel Gsrrity was appealed to save
a couple ofgirls who were said to have been
seen at one of the windows of the fourth
floor. He cried: my God, if there are any
people up there they are lost the whole
building is on FIRE" Garrity was then told
that the foreman of the concern was in
great danger, and as the stsirwsys were in
fsmes he could only be reached
through a cosl-hole in the sidewalk.
The cover was quickly removed and q
man found calmly stoking his furnace.
