TENEMENTs AND sHANTIEs.

Fire was discovered at 1890 this morning in the
engne-room of Ferguson Brothers sash, blind and
moulding factory, Nos. 552 and Dol
West Forticth-st. II burned rapidly
on account of the nfammabc nature OF
the contents of the building. Three alarms
were sent ont. In ten fifteen MN
utes the whole building was on fire and the roof
tcll. The west wall also fell. crushing
a one and a half story tenement house, occu-
pied by H. Kohwedder, his wife and two
children. The children were partly sufocated
by smoke, but were soon revived. Three firemcn
got their hose caught in the building, aud when
the wall fell they had hardly time
to escape from the falling bricks.
Louis SIgimund. assistant foreman of En-
gine No. 9, had his leg caught
in the hose and broken. Frcmen Roach
and Delany of Truck No. were injured
bv falling bricks. An ambulance was
called from the Roosevelt Hospital
and conveyed Sigimund thither 1t is thought
that he is lso injured internally
From the ive-story tencmen honSe, No. 3JG, the
people were removed early. Some were partly srf-
located by the smoke and ran, leaving
their bundles of clothing and household
effects in the halls. Partly in tho rear of
the burning building six or eight
shantes. Two of these were crushed by the falling
wall. Michael McCiinnis was i'll one of them, and "a
man named Duffy IN the other. They barely es-
capped with their lives. 1t rumored that one
person pcrished in a shanty.
In three tenementhouses in the rear of the burn
ing binding in West Thrty-nnth-st the people
were warned early of Their danger, and promptly
began to throw what property they had out of the
windows.
The damage to the factory is estimated at
$15 .OO0 and to the stock and machinery at
$40 600
