a Hoseman's Experience.
Hoseman O'Connor said that he would
remember the night as long as he lived.
He went into the Partridge building to
help save the employees, and on coming to
room in the second story thus describes the
scene: Men, women, and girls, frenZied
with fear, were struggling to reach the
windows to throw themselves into the
street Taking one at a time / lowered
them by the hands as far as / could, and
then dropped them into the nets spread for
them below, at the same time fighting the
mad crowd back from the windows The
cries of the frightened creatures were heart
rending, while the men seemed to lose all
presence of mind and fought like demons. "
He thought that at least thirty were lost
in the building.
Saw Appalling Spectacle.
William S f. Rumrill, of Deane, Chase
& Co., says: Il first saw a man with his
hair lit orally singed off his head rushing
up the street to the nearest fire alarm
box. l sprang to the door and saw spec
tacle that appalled, me. A torrent Of flame
was literally pouring out of the windows
in the center front on the second floor of
the building. Very soon, upon the parapet
way up above the street, | saw one man
and three women clinging to the stone
work. There was no such thing As get

The Loss OF Life Will Reach Twenty five
-Egan's Thrilling Escape.
The loss of life cannot be definitely stat
ed, but the number is thought to be at least
twenty-five and may be much greater The
excitement in the street was intense. The
firemen spread their fire-nets and caught
many, but the human bodies dropped so
fast that it was impossible to catch all.
Those who landed in the nets escaped with
sprained limbs and a general shaking up.
The poor fellows who struck the pavement
were either dead, dying or crippled for life.
While this eXcit ing work was going on an
incident even more thrilling was being en-
acted on Kingston street. District Chief
John ECan. of East Boston. climbed to the
roof of the Brown Durrell & Co. building
to see if it afforded a good position from
which to fight the fire.
The Flames Reached for Him.
He had barely reached the edge of the
roof when a mighty volume of fame scared
across the little alley that separated that
building from the Partridge building and
rested like cloud upon the roof of Brown,
Durrell and Co.'S block. ESan was fairly
surrounded by flames. His position was
one of great peril. Stretched across the
street from the roof of the building oppo-
site was a cable of telegraph wires. Chief
Egan hesitated but a minute, then he
cross to the opposite building hand over
hand
Caught Him in Net
He had proceeded but a few feet when 1t
became apparent that he could not last
long, and greatly to the crowds relief he
threw both legs ever the cable, which
sagged dangerously beneath his weight,
and slowly and tediously made his way
toward the goal on the opposite side. His
strength finally gave out and the wire on
the safe building was cut, letting him
down nearer the ground, when he dropped
into net unhurt.
An Unknown Man Missing.
So much attention had been centered on
Chief Egan that no one had noticed that he
had been followed by two men to the roof.
One belonged to his own company. His
name was Resttrick. He and man un-
known 20 him followed Chief Egan to the
roof and got c3Ugh: in the same whirlwind
of flames. Fireman RestCIck reached the
stairs, but his hands and face were terribly
burned. The unknown stranger did not
come down.
