upper east side early today
OF the three victims two were young girls,
Blanche and Lillian Euhlan, fifteen and
eighteen years old, and the other was their
grandfather, Frederick Weber, sixty nine
years old. Weber was helpless paralytic,
yet under the excitement of the terrible
fate threatening him he arose from his bed
and made his way to the hail. where his
body, burned to a crisp, was found

boxes, barrels and broken furniture which
lay piled underneath the stairway leading
to the basement. This rubbish is said to be
part of a quantity gathered by some of the
boys In the house for an election bonfire,
but taken away from them by their elders
Most of 1t was kerosene soaked
When the firemen burst in the doors of
the burning building they were met by a
rush of smoke and were driven back The
stairway from the first to the second floor
had then caught fire and none of the ten
ants escaped In that way.
Inc tenants on the four upper floors,
eight families in all, had swarmed out
upon the fire escapes. These safely plat
forms are small and narrow with no OPEN
ings in the balconies and, as the panic
stricken tenants fought to climb over the
ratings to reach the ladders, many had mar
row escapes from falling over into the
street. They were all finally taken down
in safety, however, with the exception of
the three who had been overcome on the
fifth floor
Several persons living on the lower floors
who had not been able to reach the fire
escapes and were overcome by smoke were
found in the burning building by firemen
and carried to the street. All Of them with
the exception of Mrs. Paula Luzu, who
had apartments on the fourth floor, were
quickly resuscftated and suffered little from
their experience The condition of Mrs
Luzu was more serious, however and she
was taken to a hospital. The loss on the

Rev. c. c. Meador.
| Bruner, his co-pastor. Two hours later he
| died at his home, 9O3 18th street north
| west, without having regained conscious
ness. Death was due to uraemic poisoning.
DR.. Meador was seventy-eight years Of
| age, and had been pastor of the Fifth
Baptist Church for more than forty-seven
years. He was elected pastor emeritus
last spring by the members of the church,
who are profuse in their expressions of
affection and regard for the faithful clergy
man who is no more.
Arrangements have been made for hold
ing funeral services over his remains to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock in the
church, which is located at the corner of
61a and street southwest Rev. Weston
Bruner, pastor of the church, will conduct
the services. assisted by the other Baptist
ministers of this city. Interment will be
| made in Oak Hill cemetery.
No immediate relatives are left by DR..
Meador. His wife, formerly Miss Anne c.
Shields of Norfolk, Va, whom he married
in 1857, died four years ago. and his only
child, Mrs. Joseph J. Darlington, died in
1890.
Sketch of DR.. Meador's Career.
DR.. Meador's career was almost one
with the history of the Fifth Baptist
Church, since the founding of the church.
and conducted religious meetings of a
few Baptists in the southwest before the
church was officially organized, and while
he was studying at Columbian University
He was unanimously chosen pastor of the
new church in 1857 and devoted the re-
mainder of his life to building it up. His
success in this respect is attested by the
present thriving organization, which oc-
cupieS one of the handSomeSt church edi-
| fees in the city.
| His church was one Of the first in that
section of Washington, which was for
merly known as the island" 1t had no
| other pastor until this spring. when Dr.
Meador, who was in need of resting from
| his long and arduouS labors, retired from
| active service. The account of the strug-
| giles of the little gathering of Baptists
| In the early days, especially during war
| time, when it looked more than once as
| if the organization would go to pieces is
| an extremely interesting one. Through it
| all the pastor was ceaSeless in his efforts
| to keep things going. But a few months
/ ago the members of the church rendered
| him magnificent reception, when his
| past work was recalled and coneratuIa-
| tons showered upon him.
| DR.. Meador was born in Bedford county
| va, where he remained until he was
| nearly thirty years of age. While there
| he was engaged for much of his time in
| religious work. He graduated from CO.
| lumbar University in 1857, the same year
in which he was ordained pastor of the
| Fifth Baptist Church.
| On account of the death of Dr. Meador
the lecture which was to have been deliy
| cred by DR.. Bruner at the TenIeytown
| Baptist Church tonight and the Baptist
young peoples rally, which was to have
tomorrow evening, have been indefinitely
postponed.
