stroycd.
one fireman was killed. nine other
members of the fire department were
injured more or less seriously, and five
or six citizens slightly hurt. None Of
the injured will die as far ns known to-
night.
The fire broke out at o'clock in the
five-story brick building at Broadway
and Franklin avenue. occupied by the
dry goods firm of Penny Il Gentles,
and in IL few minutes enveloped the en-
tire structure. Sparks and brands were
blown in every direction by strong
northwest wind. and the destruction of
adjoining property was threatened. A
general alarm was turned In and soon
j every engine in the city was at the
scene or on the way there.
On the south of Penny 4 Gentles' the
flames communicated with the build
ings occupied by Schaper Brothers. dry
goods, and the Famous dry goods store.

way through to a number of three and
