quarter before eleven o'clock last night
double alarm rang out from box 16,
and the engine dashed down to the pub
lie landing to find house A Front street
all ablaze 1t was a four story brick,
known as the John Christy tenement
house.
While the flames were eating their
way to the roof there were thirty people
in the building. A great crowd on the
outside shouted to the police who ar
rived first and to the firemen who ar
rived later that the people ins de were
burning up. With commendable bravery
the police CROPPED their way into the
deadly suffocating darkness and began
the work of rescue. The firemen ar
irving fire ladders and lanterns were
brought into requisition and the work
of rescuing the living and recovering
the dead kept pace with that of extin-
gushing or rather checking the fire,
as the building was practically des-
troyed.
The occupants of the building were
poor working people, some of them
operators in shoe factories, some ex-
press drivers and others laborers on the
public landings.

no doubt, make arrangements to receive

already earned for hospitality. The

tended the invitation will, however, no
