Secretary Tracy residence was discover
ed to be on fire by gentleman paseing by
at about 6'45 this morning. He notified the
firemen ON the opposite side Of the square,
and they turned out promptly, but with oil
their haste they found when they arrived at
the scene of the fire that the entire front was
envcloped in flames from every window
smoke poured out in great black volumes,
mingled with the red glare of flames.
From the second story windows of the
east side ofthc main entrance Mrs. Wilmerd-
ing, daughter of the secretary, and her
daughter were hanging out, ready to fling
themselves to the ground. They were in
their night clothes and were appealing for
hep.
'Don't jump - cried one of the firemcn,
while he and his comrades fastened to get a
ladder in position. The warning was un-
needed, and just as the ladder was being
aun up against the house, Mrs Wilmerding,
probably overcome by exhaustion, flung her
self to the ground. Miss Wilmerding fell q
hSi poNy 'hS ibuuSi
which had been brought to her aid. When
frcmcn rushed their aid il was found that Mrs
Wilmcrding had broken her wrist and, like
her daughter, was considerably bruised, but
the latter had no bones broken.
A horrible find. In the second story the
chief stumbled against body. lie stopped
down and touched the flesh. which came off
in his hands. 1t took him but a moment to
know that the body was lifclcss, and it was
carried down stairs to The street. 1t was
the dead body of Miss Mary Tracy, the sec
retary's daughter.
Secretary Tracy was found near the body
of his daughter. lie had fallen on the floor,
unconscious. from smoke which poured in
from one of the windows. Chief Parties
shouted for ladder. TWAS speedily placed
in position, and the limp form of the secrc-
tary was carefully passed out and carried
down the ladder OH the shoulders of the men.
Mrs. Tracy, suffocated. Mrs. Tracy, who
meantime had leapcd or fallen from windo W
was carried to the house Of Il. s. Rheem,
around the corner. She fingered for almost,
an hour and a half. and then died from the
effects of sulfocation, despite every effort OF
her physicians, Doctors Ruth and May, who
had been hastily summoned.
