STORIES OF SURVIVORS.
A Painter Escaped From the Top

the time the flames burst through
He escaped with slight injuries.
When seen at the hospital
he said: Before l knew what
had happened my eyebrows were
singed Off and my hair was on fiTe.
Then Capt. Fitzpatrick ordered US

half the distance, when l heard some
one above me groan, and heard some
one say: Look out, old man; both my
legs are broken. and l can't hold to
the ladder much longer l looked
up and saw a man swinging by his
hands, with both legs dangling. l threw
myself to one side and cleared the lad

man above me relaxed his hold and shot
by me to the ground. l DO not know
who he was"
1t was afterward learned that the
man who fell was John Mcbride, of

ployed by Contractor Anderson. said:
Il was on the tower when the fire broke
out. With three others, l was attaching
lettering to the cornice. L saw
the fire playing around the top of
the stack and warned my companions.
Theydid not seem to think there was
any danger and kept at work. but ran
down stairs. When the iremen en-
tered the tower l followed them to the
top and remained there until L saw
the fire creeping down to the balcony
below. Then realized the danger. and
ran down stairs with all haste. Just as
left the building the tower fell. 1

MURPHY'S A HERO.
He Pushed Through the Flames
to Rescue FitIDatrick.


CHICAGO, July 1O.-The rescue of
Capt. Fitzpatrick by Marshal Murphy
today was a thrilling piece of heroism.
Murphy was on the roof, and, as it was
beginning to sink, he rushed for
the ladder, being the last man
over the edge. Just then FitZpatrick;s
body came through the air and smashed
halfway through the roof. AS the des-
perately injured man struggled to re-
lease himself he saw Murphy climb
over the vol, and called piteously,
"For Gods sake don't leave me.i'
Murphy was sliding down the
ladder and could not stop, but
when he struck the ground he turned
grimly and called: Pm going to save
Jim Fitzpatrick. Who goes with me?"
Up the ladder he went, followed by
Capt. Kennedy and Hans Rehfeldt, Of
truck No. S. Below Rehfeldt a tail
man, wearing the uniform of the
First life guards of Great Britain,
could be seen ascending the
ladder. 1t was Corporal Evans, of the
military tournament. Up the ladder
these four men went, while three
streams of water we're held ready to
turn on as they stepped into the flames.
The veteran fire marshal never fall
tered. At the end of the ladder he
stepped down behind the wall
of smoke and flame. Then he
seized the coil of rope which Capt.
Kennedy was carrying and disappeared
down behind the cornice. Then KEN
nedy jumped down after him on the
blazing roof. Rehfeldt and the British
soldier were putting wrap of the repe
around the top round of the
ladder. Then the white helmet
of the chief rose up through
the smoke. In his arms was a limp
form. 1t was Capt. Fitzpatrick. who
had taken the frightfuI fall from the
tower. The cord was quickly passed
beneath his arms, and the limp body
swung over the edge of the building,
and was lowered TO the ground amid
frantic cheers from the crowd.

BUT THREE LEFT.
Nine Lost From the star" Fire
Organization.

Organization.
CHICAGO, July 10.-Engine company
No. l, the accredited star fire organ
iZatiOn of the fair. this morning boosted
membership of twelve men under the
command of Capt. John Garvey. The
men, according to the books, were off
duty at noon, and tonight but three
men of the company have reported.
They were, as usual, on their way to
the fire when the other companies were
about starting. and il is claimed Capt.
Garvey and his men were the first to
arrive at the white building with the
tall tower. They ran to the root and on
the tower. and clambered out on the
top, where most of them waited for the
other arrivals to bring hoses to attach to
their strings. The brave fellows were
up there, being REINFORCED every
minute by other arrivals, and
just as the first lead of
hose reached them their doom came.
Forced TO the edge of the tower they
finally made the top. That was the last
seen of the brave boys from No l, and
three men who showed up tonight
hastily changed clothes, took a drink of
brandy and went back to the scene of
the catastrophe. Their comrades are
given up as lost.
None of the wives of the men COM
posing Company and Company ap-
peared tonight, their friends making
the trip to the fair grounds-fer them to
ascertain. if possible. the extent of the
calamity. When they were informed of
the real truth of the horrible calamity
they grew faint at heart. and it was
some time before they could muster up
courage to depart for the stricken homes
with their heart-reuding intelligence.
The coId-blOoded tiend was upon the
scene, in the form of the man who
pushed the button of kodak while the
doomed Lien were huddled together on
the northeast corner OF the blazing
tower just previous to taking their ter
rible leap for life. The man with the
the camera appeared on the plat
form OF the elevated road. He
rested his box upon the ratings,
nd. after a deliberate aim, photo
graphed the men, many of whom we're
already hanging from the corner. He
took three or four snap shots as the men
were dropping and then walked away to
a more advantageo place. The act
was witnessed by many people who
Kissed the perpetrator of the cold
blooded act and loudly proclaimed his
penurious instincts.

KNOWN AS a FIRE TRAP.
All Insurance on the Building Had
Been Cancelled.

Been Cancelled.
CHICAGO. July 10.-That the building
was known to be dangerous fire trap
by the company controlling it there can
be no doubt. A few weeks ago Marshal
Murphy inspected it and reported it to
be extremely unsafe. On account of his
report the insurance companies who
had taken risks on the structure can
celed them, so there was no insurance
on it at all. Some one said the council
of administration had been advised that
the construction Of the tower. inclosing
the smokestack, was hazardous. Presi
dent Higinbotham said he had never
heard of any such notice.
''In fact" he said. Il did not know
until l was told today that any danger
attached to the use OF chemicals in re-
frigerating process. The plans for the
construction of the building were sub
mitted TO the department of works, just
as all the building plans were. and so
far as l know they were approved. 1t
is an awful thing, and do not care to
say anything about it."
1t was reported by some of the Colum-
bian guards that number of women
who were in the building lost their lives.
The firemen who escaped, however, dis
credit this story. Late tonight lady's
watch was found with body so badly
burned that it could not be told whether
il was man or woman.
