SEVENTEEN LIVES LOST.
Shocking Results Of a Fire In
Philadelphia Furniture and
Upholstering House.
A WILD RUSH FOR FIRE ESCAPES.
The Flames Spread with such Ter
ribie Rapidity that Many Were
Overcome White Seeking safety
In Flight Or Buried Under Ruins
of Fallen walls.

Philadelphia. Oct. ga fire in
which the police say II persons lost
their lives. many more We're seriously
and perhaps fatally injured, occurred
in the heart of the business section
in the city. The nine-story building
at 1919 and 1921 Market street, oc-
cupied by Hunt, Wilkinson & Co..
upholsterers and furniture dealers.
and two unoccupied buildings at 1928
and 1925 Market street, were de-
stroyed. Many other buildings we're
damaged, and the loss is estimated TO
be upwards of $50o,OoO.
The start of the Fire.
The fire started at 1o:30 O'Clock IL
is supposed TO have been caused by
an explosion of benzine or naptha,
which, with other materials used in
| the manufacture of furniture, was
stored in the cellar. The flames shot
up the elevator shaft, and in less than
| five minutes every one of the nine
floors of the structure was ablaze.
A Rush For the Fire Escapes.
There were 320 employees, men and
women, at work in the different de-
partments at the time. Those on the
second floor were the first to see the
flames. Instantly there was wild
rush for the fire escapes. but owing
to the highly-intlammable nature of
the material used by the firm, the
blaze spread with remarkable rapidi-
ty, dealing death to the uifortunates
as they made frantic but unsuccessful
efforts to escape. One woman leaped
from one of the top floors into Mar
ket street, and was instantly killed.
Another was roasted to death as she
was descending the fire escape in the
rear of the building. Two others eth
er jumped or fell from the fire es-
cape and were killed. Five others who
leaped from windows were picked up
| living, but they died on the way To
| the hospital.
Buried Under the Rims.
While the fire escape was filled with
the panic-stricken men and women.
the wall collapsed, and eight persons
are known to have been buried in the
ruins. A few minutes later the front
wall fell inward, and it is not known
whether any bodies are under it. Ii
uch is the case, the persons were
probably burned to death before the
wall collapsed. When the firemen
reached the rear of the building
which faces on Commerce street, a
small thoroughfare, they found the
street literally piled up with victims
who had been carried down by tho
falling wall. These were hastily con-
yeyed to the nearest hospitals.
Prevented Spread of Flames.
A new eight-story building at 1877
Market street, as yet unoccupied, pre-
vented the spread of the flames to the
| eastward, in which direction they
were blown by the wind
Several business houses on the
south side of Marekt street were bad-
ly scorched, but not seriously dam
aged.
