MANY SWEAT SHOPS BURNED.
1t Is Thought the Blaze Was
Started by an Incendiary.
The Six-story Krulewttch Building
Completely Quilted.

The six-story brick building known as
the Krulewitch Block. 13s and 1879 1-2
Madison street, was completely Quilted
by a fire Of suspicious origin which was
discovered at 4 o'clock this morning
The building was owned by Louis Krule-
witch.
The building is at the corner Of Bir-
mingham street, a narrow thoroughfare
extending from Madison, a block north,
to Henry street. The corner is occupied
by Bernard Braunstein as a liquor store,
and 1879 IL by Sam Lung as a Chinese
laundry. The side facing Birmingham
street Is occupied OF the ground floor
by Isaac A. Krulewitch, a son of the
proprietor. as a -four and feed store,
and the five upper stories by contract
~tailors. who manufacture wearing ap-
parel for numerous wholesale and retail
houses.
The fire was discovered by Patrolman
Donnelly. of the Madison street station,
who saw smoke and flames issuing from
the windows Of the third story on the
umes. He turned in an alarm. which
vas followed by second and third
alarms Immediately upon the arrival Of
the first engine company.
The building is surrounded on all sides
by thickly. populated tenements, and
many Of h tenants rushed into the
street in scanty- attire when the
alarm was sounded. The street was 30
blocked with these people that the fire.
men were greatly hampered in their
work until. the police reserves from the
Fourth. Eleventh and Thirteenth pre-
cincts were called out. and under the
command Of Inspector Williams drove
the crowds back a safe distance, and
thereafter held them IN check.
There was not, as far as can be
learned, any one in the upper stories
after Z O'Clock last night. The fires ir
the stoves in all the shops. which are
used to les irons for pressing. were
out before the proprietors left .theii
shops, 80 that 1t Is thought the blaze
must have been caused by spontaneous
combustion or by the hand Of an incen'
diary. Suspicion. however, points to tht
latter theory, and a report to that enec'
was made to the Fire Marshal.
| The total damage ia roughly estimated
at $50, 900. The occupants of the building
were: NJ. Meyerofsky, s. Barnetts. J
Schrieber, e. Engelsol, 8. NJ. Dlugach
]. Snyder. ]. -Keplin. B. Seidie n J
Gordon, all of whom were engaged II
the manufacture Of clothing.
None of them was insured, and theil
aggregate loss will probably approx

estimated 1t 5000, and to Sam Lunt
and Mr.. Braunstein $1,000.

LAY IN WAIT FOR VICTIMS,
Thieves Reap a Golden Harvest in
0'Connor's Precinct
Station Blotter Tells q Different
Story than the Captain Offers.

The complaint book at the Church
street station bore this morning the
brief record that Henry Frequenzi, a
Swede, had been robbed of SIS some
where In the city. but could not tell
exactly where. 1t is only by inference
that this memorandum Is connected with
an episode witnessed by hundreds In
Barclay street at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
At tina hour a blond and bushy
bearded caricature of q farmer, carry
ing an old shawl by a strap, rushed
excitedly into Maddox & Co.'S crockery
store, q Barclay street. n shouted
that he had been robbed. He i'm
mediately dashed out and tore up the
side stairway leading to the upper Off
ces. He r%eappeared in a few seconds
and set up in broken English. a fearful
appeal for aid to catch the thieves who
had taken $S5 from him.
To those who gathered o him he
explained that he had met two young
men who professed to have known him
taken ss5. all his money, from him,
and gone UP the stairs over, No. Il.
promising to return Immediately. He
got his money, but that it was through
He had waited a few minutes
Impatient, had climbed to the
third floor, where he discovered that
the hall communicated directly with
stairs dropping down to Park place, the
other side of the block. He then took
alarm. and began rushing about, back
and forth, looking for the men.
He stood on the sidewalk n wept and
howled.
After a time the patrolman on post
came up. cleared the crowd, and, after
some effort to get the old fellows story,
hustled him off the scene. 1t Is proba-
BILE. however. that the former got round
to the Church street station late in the
day and made the complaint entered In
the book.
To-day Capt. o'Connor declared that
nothing Of the sort occurred In his pre-
cinct yesterday-no one was robbed and
no complaint made. Confronted with the
record, he said that he had no evidence
that the robbery was committed within
his territory. He also denied that he
had previous reports Of thieves escaping
through the hallway that connects q
Barclay street with 26 Park place on
the third floor.

reighborhood say that the hall is a run.
