A most touching scene occurred when
Fireman John Mccarthy found his bres
thcr pinloned under a heavy beam and
begging the men above to kill him. Nc
Carthy said there were three other men
near him and they were alive. The most
heroic effort to liberate the sufferers are
being made up to midnight.

that Mrs. Drach, Us well as her hus-
band, was killed The body Of Ar.

she was counted among the dead, but
her body was reached shortly before
midnight and she was found to be stu
alive. She was suffering intense pain
and All OF the Efforts OF the wortmen
failed to rescue her. Up TO 1880 they
have been able to talk to her for over an

cued by digging through the walls OF an
adjacent building. II Is, however, i'm
possible to rescue Mrs. Drach, even IN
