FURIOUS AND FATAL FLAMES
FOUR LARGE BUILDINGS BURNED
IN NEW YORK-FOUR
DEAD BODIES.
A Terrible WRECK NEAR wheeling.
Several Coaches Fall Over a Sixteen
Foot Bank-Two Persons Killed,
Others Fatally, and Over Fifty
Seriously Injured.

New York, Nov. 3.-Several lives were
lost in the fire which started about 10
o'clock this morning ON the second floor
of the six-story brick building, No. Z
Pelham street, owned by We'll Il Meyer
and used as sweat shop.
Three charred and almost urecogniza-
BILE bodies were taken from the ruins to-
day, and one man, who jumped to save
his life from the flames, was so injured
that he died in Gouverneur hospital,
where he was taken, from fractured
skull.
The dead are:
Jacob Shapiro, Waterman; found in the
ruins; 40 years old.
Isaac Penson, found in the ruins.
Unknown man, found in the ruins.
Morris Dirschauer, aged 40, who jump
ed from second story window and died
in Gouverneur hospital of fractured
skull.
The fire originated from some unknown
cause on the second floor of No. Z, and
spread with great rapidity through that
DuliulHS anu tlOSe luliiiSuiulSiJ uuJoihih6'
Five alarms were sent in, and although
large number of engines were playing
on the flames for hours nothing could be
done to save the structures, and the four
buildings, Nos. 3, 8, and 3, were COM
pletely destroyed. The fire caused ter
ror in the thickly populated neighborhood,
and people ran out of their houses into
| the streets in multitudes to escape the
| impending destruction of their homes
| which they feared. The buildings burn
| ed were filled with sweat shops, and the
| Waterman and others slept in the build
| ing.
After the flames had been eXtinguished
| because there was little more to burn, u
search was begun for the dead, for it
was believed that many might be in the
| ruins. The first body, a totally unrecog-
nizable mass of charred flesh and bones,
was found in the doorway of No. Z. 1t
| was so burned beyond all semblance to
human body that it was at first sup
posed to have been q Newfoundland dog
| which was kept about the place, but a
\ doctor declared it the remains of man.
Two hours later another body was dis
covered in the third floor of No. Z. This,
too, was practically unacceptable, but
was identified as that of Jacob Shapiro
| by relatives.
AT D. m. still another charred form
| of immense stature was found and iden-
| titled as Isaac Penson, who was 6 feet
4 inches tall in life The building loss is
estimated at $4,000, while the loss to
the different tenants is thought to be
about $500 each, making total of about
$4,000.
