streets and resulted in severe injuries
to a dozen persons. The John Monet
public school, opposite the leather
works, was damaged, three dwelling
houses adjoining the factory were de-
stroyed. and nine others were slightly
damaged. There were many sensation
oil and narrow escapes, most of the 4oo
men and women employed in the rae
tory saving their lives by leaping from
the windows into nets held by hremen.
The fire originated in small annex
known as the celluioid room. 1t is be-
lieved q spark from crossed electric
wires fell into a quantity of cellulold.
The fire caused panic among the EN-
