Fearful Result of a New York
Cigar Factory Fire.
WORK OF AN INCENDIARY.
A Man Il Now Under Arrest for Causing
the FataIiiy-The Victims Were All
Young Glris-Several Said to
Re Fatally Hurt.

NEW York, Jan ia supposed incen-
diary fire, by which three girls lost their
lives, has occurred at III East Fifth street.
More than sixty girls were ut work at the
time, ard 1t Is by miracle that more were
not killed The fire started in the blacksmith
shop Of Henry Haas. and over il is the fac
tory Of the New York Patent Cigar manu-
factory. IL was here, on the third floor. that
the girls were working.
Soon after the fire started an alarm was
sent out and the firemen responded with their
usual promptness Before they could get &c
work however, the flames had eaten their
way upward.
Smoke filled the factory, and the girls be-
came panic stricken. The fremen put lad
ders up TO the third story windows and the
work Of rescuing began. good many OF
the girls who were near the stairway man
aged 20 make their escape hat way.
Three or four. who are supposed to be- IA
tally burned, were taken from the window.
Three of the unfortunate girls were burned
TO death Their names are:
JOSIE Farrenkopt, Lena Straub and Bar
hara Opel
Barbara Schmidt, one OF the girls taken
from the window, was terribly burned, and
was at once taken TO St Frances hospital.
The fremen did heroic work and soon had
the fire under control. The charred bodies
of the dead girls were then taken out Of the
building and the dead wagon was sent for
from Bellevue.
The police have obtained information
which makes them believe that the fire was
the work OF an incendiary. They have made
an arrest, aud the prisoner is locked up in
tho Union Market station.

correct. We presume. The fault is not
