them picked up the mangled form of one ot the unfortunates who had jumped from the balcony, and carrying 1t to the edge of | the roof dropped 1t to the ground, thus saving 1t from cremation. syet the body has not been identified, as the face was burned black Many of the iremen who lost their lives might have been saved had
 the department been supplied with nets. They could have jumped from the tower
 to the roof and been saved by the nets. Seeing 1t was 8 hopeless task to attempt to save the building and az all who escaped had left the roof the fremen now directed their efforts to keep the fire from spread ing. The worlds fair stables just south of the warehouse wore burning, and the fire had spread to the roofs of several hotels across Stony Isle avenue, just outside the grounds. With good deal of effort the hotels were saved, but the stables were burned to the ground. In less than two hours from the time the fire started the big storage warehouse was levelled to the ground, smoking ruin.
 It is doubtful if any of the bodies will ever be recovered, so terrible was the heat.

 That the building was known to be @ dangerous fre-trsp by the company con- trolling it there can be no doubt. A few weeks ago Marshal Murphy inspected 1t and reported it to be extremely unsafe. On account of his report the insurance com panies who taken risks on the structure cancelled them, so there was no insurance on it.
