probably from defective insulation Of
electric wires, and the flames swept up
through the halls to the floors above.
Nearly all the persons in the building
were employed IN q coat factory on
the top floor, and d moment after the
smoke and flames poured up through
the halls, the fire escapes ON the Bow
cry side Of the buildings were ehoked
by crowds Of frenzied men and women.
Stairways were impossible and the small

were shooting out Of the front windows
and making blazing wall 10 cut Oft
