Budapest, Aug. 26.-Fire in a fNr-
story building, the two lower stories
of which were occupied by a fancy

flats, cut off the escape of many of the
200 work people and of the residents

burned to death. The house contained
piles of flimsy material, and these
caused the flames to spread rapidly.
Only work people near the doors were
able to escape. The residents above,
seeing their escape cut off, chung des-
perately to windows, screaming for
help. The fremen held out sheets of
canvass and called on them to lump.
Fifteen persons were saved in this

About fifty people were on board
when the vessel sank, about three
quarters of a mile above its starting
point in the canal, which is about
eight miles long and runs from Indian
apolis to Broad Ripple Park. The
canal is narrow and from ten to fifteen
feet deep in the middle.

man and baby drown, saved his wife
as she sank the third time. She
weighs over 200 pounds.
Thirty persons were thrown into the
water when the boat sank. Several OF
the male passengers did heroic work
in getting them to shore. They were
aided by the boats crew. Much addi-
tional excitement was caused by sew
eral men on the boat who became
panic-stricken and tried to throw
women and children into the water.
Search is being made to see if any
bodies are at the bottom of the canal.
