DISASTROUS FIRE.
DURNING WALLS FALL ON A MINI
BER OF FIHEMEN.
Nine Narrowly Escape Horrible

Injured.
Special to the REcoRp-uN1oN.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.
New YORK, Jan. 2l.-Story tE Co.'s
five-story warehouse at Washington and
Mann streets took fire at 2:30 this (Satur-
day. morning. Three alarms were
turned in. The building was used by
merchants of the vicinity for the storage
of cotton and rice.
One wall of the burning building has
fallen in and buried fifteen firemen in
the ruins. The other firemen set at work
digging them out. The fifteen men are
supposed to be dead or badly burned.
1t is impossible to give the names of
killed as yet. Those known to have been
seriously injured are: Hippemen Coyle,
Robertson, Ronald and McCarren, all of
Truck No. 6.
W hen the men were removed from the
ruins they wero instantly placed in am
balances and hurried away to the hos
pitai. They presented a horrible sight.
and if appearances count for ANYTHING.
it is very doubtful if any of them will
recover.
A score of firemen are working with
all their might to rescue those stiu under
the debris.
At the time the wall fell large num-
Der of fremen were lighting the flames
on that side Of the warehouse, to prevent
it spreading to an adjoining soap factory.
When the wall began to crack some one
shouted to the working firemen to run
for their lives. The warning came too
late, for before half of them reached a
place of safety, the awful mass of brick
and timbers came crashing down on
them.
A call was sent for more firemen to aid
in digging out the unfortunate men. In
a few minutes they succeeded in rescuing
four of truck No. SIS men. and at this
hour are still engaged III making every
effort 10 rescue the buried men. 1t is be-
lieved eleven men are still under the
ruins, and in all probability they will be
dead before they can be rescued.
The loss is estimated at 5300O00.
LATRR.-The report that fifteen fire.
men were under the ruins proves to have
been exaggerated, but nine firemen had
narrow escapes from instant death. They
were all painfully injured, and three are
likely TO die. The injured were all re-
moved to st. Nincents Hospital.

brewing at Santa Rosalia between native
Mexicans ami Mormon colonists, who
recently arrived there and settled upon a
large tract of land granted them in con-
cesslon by the Government. The Mexi-
can citizens of Santa Rosalia claim the
Mormons openly adopted the practice of
polygamy in violation OF the terms under
which the concession was obtained. The
merchants of the town refused to sell the
new colonists the necessary food sup
plies, and the latter suffered severe hard
ships, but established stores of their own,
which they will operate on the CO.
