The Victims Found on the
Floor by Firemen.
PERISHED FROM THICK SMOKE.
The Ryan Family Had Been Forgot
ten During the Fire.

BROOKLYN, N. ", Nov. IA four
story brick tenement nt No. 3l1 Van
Brunt street, Brooklyn, was burned at
O'Clock this morning, ana six persons
lost their lives. The dead are:
CHARLES RYAN, 40 years old.
ELLA RYAN, Charles wife, As years old.
JOHANNA RYAN, 20 years old.
SARAH Ryan, IL years old.
MAGGIE RYAN, IA years old.
LIZZIE RAYN, ~ years old.
The last four are daughters Of Charles
and Ella Ryan. The fire originated from
some unknown cause, in a frame extern
sion for platform stairway 10 the upper
floor, which had been added TO the tene-
ment house. Thus the means of escape
was cut off. BY the time the firemen ar
rived the stairway extension was seriously
ablsZe aud the house was filled with
smoke. Mrs. Welsh. with six children,
occupied the second floor. and they made
frantic sppeals from their windows for
help. They were carried one by one by
the policeman along the cornice over the
store beneath to the adjoining building.
and from there to the street. In the ex-
citement the Ryan family, who occupied
tho top floor, appeared TO have been
forgotten, but ii was supposed that they
had made their escape by way OF the
roof. 1t was nearly O'Clock before the
flames were extinguished and an exami-
nation of the premises could be made.
IL was then that the terrible discovery
was made. Lying on the floors OF the
several rooms in their night clothes were
the dead members of this family. Death
had been due entirely to suffocation.
