WATER TANK TO THE RESCUE.
1t Was on the Top Floor and the
Supports Were Brrned Away.
Heavy Loss by Fire Prevented by
Its Sudden Fail.

\ heavy loss by fire was prevented
the toppling over of an immense water
tank on the top floor.
Policeman Groggin. of the Mulberry
street station, discovered the fire at 3
o'clock In the rooms occupied by Scheyer
Nathan. II manufacturer of pockctbooks.
The members of Engine Company %
were the first to respond to the alarm.
They got up through the building. but
were unable To enter the rooms where
the flames were because of the intense
heat.
Lines OF hose we're stretched through
the building, but the streams could not
be used effectively.
The flames burst through the roof and
1t was feared they would reach the big
building of Shoniger Brothers, tailors'
TRIMMINGS, next door, on the corner Of
broadway and Broome street. The fire
men broke into that building on the
broadway side and ran the hose up to
the roof
The work was directed by Chiefs Bon
ner and McGill but their efforts pro-
duced no visible effect, and the fire was
| rapidly getting beyond control.
The flames roared and cracked over
| the heads OF the firemen as they pushed
their way up the narrow stairway and
! tried to direct the streams OF water eff
| fectively.
Suddenly there was a loud crash, and
small river OF water came rushing
down the stairs. almost knocking the
! firemen OF their feet.
4 ON the floor where the fire was
burning, there was an iron tank tina,
supplied the bull ling with water. The
supports that held this tank had burned
away so slowly that the tank had grad
ually toppled over until II poured its
load of water over the partially burned
floor, and the flames, and through tn,
halls and floors OF the lower part of TIL,
house.
1t was fortunate that the tank wa,
only partly filled, or the contents Of tn.
various floors would have been destroyed
as II was, there was enough water 10
extinguish the greater part of the fire
and 1t left the floor so that the firemen
could enter 1t and make short worl
OF the flames
Much damage was done by water I,
the stock of Balm Bros, shirt manu-
facturers. and Louis Wolf & Co. al.

at $500. but It is believed that the losse
