pulled heaveuward and the building seemed
to be crowned with fire. Seeing escape cut

was finally pushed off and the prisoners
climbed to tbs roof, whence they were res
cuad with great difficulty. a number OF
other EMPLOYEES were lowered from the win

ioining bulldogs. The distributing room on
the fifth floor, the operating room on the

seventh floor were completely destroyed
Had the fire broke out an hour later the
loss of life might have been enormous, as
fully seven hundred girls and men are en-
ployed on the two upper floors. The loss of
the telegraph company is very heavy. The

room aions coat fifty thousand dollars.
