New York. Oct. 3O-The long list Of
fire horrors that have occurred In and
around New York was added to yes
terday by fire and explosion which
shook the lower end of Manhattan Is
land like an earthquake. hurled sew
en-story building into the air. and set
fire to two blocks OF buildings, with
loss of life that only the efforts OF hun
dreds of men who were rushed TO the
work Of digging away the ruins as
soon as the fire WAS extinguished, Will
reveal.
The big building OK Tarrant Co.,
makers of medical specialties. stand
ing at the northwest corner of Green
wich and Warren street, and filled with
chemicals took fire in some way that
may never he known. at about quar-
ter after u o'clock in the afternoon
1t was sixteen minutes after noon that
a citizen rushed into the house OF
fire engine on Chambers street. near
Greenwich. and shouted that Tarrants
drug house was on fire. He had seen
a volume of black smoke coming from
the third story windows. An alarm
was turned in. Soon afterward sec
ond and third alarms were turned in.
One fire company had just arrived
when terrific explosion occurred and
threw the entire engine crew down the
stairway. The firemen. realizing the
danger of their position. rushed out of
the building to the street. The explo-
sion had filled the street in front with
n shower of falling glass and small de-
bris which scattered the crowd which
had gathered on the opposite sidewalk.
They were dragging the line to the
doorway for the second time when
came another explosion. more terrific
than the first and the whole crew was
hurled across Greenwich street. Devan-
ny being so badly injured that he was
sent to the hospital.
In the meantime. the other engines
that had responded to the alarm had
collected and the tiremen We're busy
rescuing people from surrounding
buildings. Firemen had already taken
many girls down the only tEe escape
upon the building. and more persons
had been carried down the escape OF
the Home Made restaurant, next door,
and the buildings adjoining.
The second explosion occurred about
five minutes after the first. From the
accounts of Witnesses. the building
seemed to leap into the air and In
moment masses of brick wall. timbers
and stone were falling into the street.
The force of the explosion tore away
the walls of the big commission store
houses fronting on Washington street
and caused them to collapse, falling all
mt once in mass of timber. boxes and
barrels, from which the flames. which
burst out from the Tarrant building
like the belching OF a cannon, broke
forth. The force Of the explosion be
low had thrown the firemen back
across the street, no that they were not
caught. but their escape from the rain
of debris across the street was almost
miraculous.
