York and New England Cash Market
The snow delayed the department, and
before any attempt could he made to
fight the fire the building was doomed.
The burning wool caused great volumes
of black and yellow smoke to rise heaven
ward In such dense masses as to obscure
the sunlight and cast IA red and frightful
shadow upon the city lying north OF the
scene.
A panic seized the occupants OF the ad-
Joining buildings as the flames began to
lean from the building where they found
birth and to encircle the adjoining prop
erty.
Each moment seemed to add fresh ter

sioners and Drs Edison and Roberts yes
terdsy morning, and IL was decided to re-

ickv feeling made some decisive
action necessary. Logan's body was
removed TO the Health Department
street. 1t was thought at first that he
had died from alcoholism. An autopsy
held Yesterday revealed the fact that he
was also suffering from typhus.
DIR. Edison said yesterday that the city
