Shortly after midnight of last Sunday
night as extensive a fire as Pittsburg has
seen for half Century started among
some waste barrels in the cellar of t.
c.. Jenkins mammoth building, front
ing on Penn and Liberty avenues. The
fire was first discovered by the night
watchman, who attempted to put 1T out
with Babcock extinguisher, but fail
ing in this gave the alarm. The fire
reached the elev ltor and spread through
the entire seven story building in a few
minutes.
The entire fire department of both
cities were called out, but could do
nothing on account of oil and other in
fiammable material stored in the Jen-
kins building.
The Jenkins building became an i'm
mense furnace, and the intense heat
caused all the surrounding buildings to
break into flame even train of box
cars on the Liberty avenue track taking
fire.
An hour after the fire started the
flames from the burning oil in the Jen-
kins building caused the front of the
Jos. Horne & Co. dry goods building to
smoke; shortly after it was mass Of
flame. the efforts of the firemen were
futile and the flames ragged through the
largest and handsomest dry goods estab-
lishment in Western Pennsylvania. a
dozen other buildings were burned be
fore the fire was gotten under control,
and the losses foot up about three mil
lions. Jos Horne & Co. 5 loss is about
a million and T. c. Jenkins about half
a million.
This fire throws about 1900 people out
of emoloyment and about thirty doctors
located in the Horne and Methodist
Book buildings were burned out.
One fireman, named Acheson, was in
Cecil alley. when the wall of the Jen-
kins building fell, and was crushed to
death.
Jos Horne & Co have rented the
new, eight-story Phipps building on
Penn Ave near their old store, and
slightly damaged by the fire. and will
resume business Immediately.
Jenkins rented four buildings on
Penn Ave, 933 to 943, and will resume
business. and several other burned out
firms have already located.
