New York, Sept. 2S,-In senseless
panic in a Ludlow street synagogue
four persons were trampled to death
this morning and nine so far as known
more or less badly injured.
The panic was caused by some idiot
calling "fire" when a candle fell over on
the pulpit and set fire to a bit OF drap-
cry.
The congregation stampeded imme-
diately. There are two other syna-
Qogues in tho locality, Both were
crowded. The worshippers heard the
rush on the stairs and joined in it.
When tho three streams Of wildly des-
perate men and met on the narrow
stairs, struggle resulted in which wo-
men fell down under the feet OF the
stronger men. Tho life was trodden
out OF them on the stairs. The scene
OF the tragedy was the six-story tene-
ment, ~ Ludlow street. There is q
synagogue on each OF the first, second
and third floors. The one on the first
floor is behind store. A narrow dirty,
fight of stairs lead to the above. II
was in the synagogue on the third floor
that the panic began. This synagogue,
like the rest, is plain tenement room
filled with wooden benches. A parti-
ton divides it crosswise in the middle.
In the partition is door just the width
OF two boards. Through this those who
we're furthest to the front had to pass
10 get within sight OF the stairs.
There are two other narrow doors at
the head OF the stairs, which thence de-
scended abruptly with a break on the
second floor to the street.
At the front partition door there was
ian, then crash and part oil the
board wall gave way. The mass poured,
fell, rolled down the steep stairway.
Three times as many persons were at
tending the services in the synagogues
on the lower floors, More than one
thousand crowded the building. They
heard the rush overhead, the crash OF
the rending boards, the shouts OF fire
and cries OF anguish, and with com.
mon impulse did what the others had
dope-ran for the stairs and for life.
At the second floor landing there is u
sharp turn. There again the mass stuck
for a moment, but worked loose pros
emily and the first onset occurred. The
two blind and maddened human
ayalanches met, ono coming stairs, the
other cutting in under it aud trying to
get ahead.
A furious struggle ensued. Men and
women fought, dumb, but with the
madness OF despair, and the weakest
went down. The deadlock was broken
acain and again only to be renewed
with the same stress OF terror. Slowly
the solid mass filling the stairway from
wall to ceiling slid down to the ground
floor. Cries and groans were smothered.
When all had been cleared out, four
women lay dead on the stairs and nine
more or less badly injured. These were
sent to the Gouveneur hospital.
Some one threw the candle that had
caused all the trouble out of the win
dow upstairs and put an end to the
fire.
OF the four dead taken to the station
house three we're identified. They are:
Freda Becker, A years old. Russian
Of 80 Ludlow street.
Naomi Rosenthal, 80 years, of IT'S
Ludlow street, married.
Truebe Boyum, aged 80, OF 100 For
syth street.
The fourth body is that OF woman
about 80 years OF age.
