tbe partitions between and the hall then
thought Of our Office boy. George Karcher who was
on1ored in a small rear room in the hail. rushed 10
him and shouted fire. The halls were then full OF
smoke then ran along the hall to the room wherc
the Ademans were and shouted to them 10 save the-
selves At such time many things happen whloh
are forgotten afterward. but am quite sure that

from their front windows into FultOn-st and sup
posed that they had escaped by it. The next thing
n5ticod was the boy darling through the hall like wid
animal with his coat over his had. then stepped
into our east Office and thought OF another lou vi o

Chief Engineer George W. Blrdsal, Of the Depart
roeDt of Public Works said that TIE reports OF q
scarcity of water during the fire at Fulton and Nassau
stS omTuesday grew ont of the fact that IL occurred
during The hours when the factories and Establishments
which use l4rge quantities Of water wore drawing tcr
daily supply The engineers OF the Fire Department,
NJ. said had rcmedcd the situation at once by going
to the proper point turning the water from IN
emergency main. This scarcity could only occur Mr
pjrdsall sold between the hours OF 80 and 80
a. m. which had been designated as the time for
drawing supplies. Before this arrangement was made
there was danger of insufficient water for fires
throughout the day and night. This trouble was
wholly obviated and all the water needed could be
obtained at any time The statement that any COM
plaint had come fIom the Fire Department on the
subject he sald was unfOunded
