Two Score Men We're Burn
ed to Death Yesterday
in CHEAP LODGING HOUSE
Procession Of Naked People Escaping
from Fire Made Extraordinary
Scene--worst Disaster in
Britain for Years.

Glasgow, Nov. 20.--Thc most terrible
fire that has occurred in Great Britain
| in many years, broke out here Sunday
morning in cheap lodging house for
men in Watson street and resulted in
the loss of 80 lives and the severe in
Ijury Of many others.
The flames were first discovered at six
o'clock on the fourth floor of the build
| ing which was occupied by $50 men. An
alarm was raised and the firemen were
speedily in attendance but flames and
smoke were issuing from most OF the
windows on the fourth floor. An ex-
traordinary line was created by pro-
cession of almost naked men issuing
from the door of the building and against
their frantic efforts to escape had ac-
tualIy to fight for admission.
Reaching the upper floors the fremen
| found that the narrow passages were be-
coming congested with men who drop
ped to the floor overcome by smoke.
Fortunately the fire was confined to
the fourth floor, and as soon as the fire.
men were able to get to work it was
speedy extinguished. The flames had
been fed by the wooden partitions and
the cubicles which threw of volumes of
smoke resulting in the suffocation of the
inmates. Many on being brought to the
street rallied in a few minutes, but
Others had to be taken to the hospitals.
The dead were mostly workmen in
the prime Of life. They presented hor-
rible spectacle, their blaekened faces
bearing evidence OF terrible struggles to
escape.
| Many men were sleeping in their at
tie floor above the burning fourth floor
land these had narrow escapes. The
flames burnt through the floor and it was
impossible for the men to descend. The
linen had to break them so that they
could climb through to neighboring roofs.
| BY ten o'clock search of the buiid-
| ing was made and complete list Of
| the victims obtained, which showed that
thirty nine were dead and thirty-two in
jured.
1t appears to be the custom Of these
dodgers to sleep in nude condition and
the march Of the survivors to the police
station was q fantastic one. Some
SuHtEHeu the CpstES ok lbe Dtus anu
Others their trousers, while many wore
nothing. The local authorities had to
be called upon to supply the men with
clothing and warm meals. Owing to their
migratory habits aud the absence Of
permanent homes, many of the dead viii
never be identified. The identification
Of oghers is rendered difficult BY the ab-
sence Of clothing.

But the Causes Were of Small Conse-
quence.

The fire department was called out
twice yesterday on still alarms. At
five o'clock they were called to put
ont grass fire on the French estate,
which had been burning there all the
afternoon. The people living near by
thought 1t ought to be put out before
dark. The second cali was for chim-
ney fire on Prospect street opposite the
old fire station, about $40 o'clock last
evening.
On their first call the department
went out with four horses hitehed to
the chemical so that easier and faster
time could be made going up the Frank
lin street HILL The hook and ladder
horses were hitched in front Of the
horses on the chemical and Driver John
Heney rode one Of the lead horses and
drove them. This was the first time that
Chief Gladding had sent out the four
hitch in answer to call, though they
have practieed il several times, so that
1t worked to perfection yesterday

CAUSED WRECK
OF SHIP HILDA

ward bound from st. Malo, rescued five
of the passengers and one Of the crew.
The crew numbered 90 and there were
about hundred passengers, all French
men. The majority were onion dealers
from st. Briac and neighborhood.
A telegram from ST. Seryan adjoining
the town of st. Aialo gives the few par.
ticulars yet available. The Hilda was
near st. Malo Saturday morning de.
layed by fog and bad weather. She
struck the rocks at four o'clock Sunday
morning, in the roadstead of the island
of Cezembre.
The majority of the crew and passen-
gers were asleep at the time. Two boats
were lowered, one of which containing
five men arrived at st. Serya. The see.
ond boat was picked up empty at st
Cast, where 13 bodies were washed
ashore. The top of the Hilda's funnel
and her mast are visible at low tide
according to the telegram from st. Ser
van.
The Hilda was built at GLASGOW in
1882 and registered s4S tons. She was
screw steamer of iron construction

SIX WERE SAVED.
Out of the Wreck Of the Steamer Hilds
Yesterday.

st. Aalo, France, Nov. 20.--The exact
number Of lives lost on the Hilda is
unknown. 1t is understood that there
were about twenty first-class passen-
gers including several English people.
Among the latter were the Hon. Mrs.
Butler, sister of Lord Lanesborough, and
Col. Follet. Though 1t is not certain
that these actually were on board, they
were expected to travel by the Hilda
and it is known that all iirst-class pas
sengers We're drowned. These passengers
were English officers and others who
were coming to rejoin their families
or to spend the season at st. Malo and
Dinard Opposite St. Malo),
1t appears to be certain that only
six were saved, these being five onion
sellers and an English seaman named
Grinter, belonging to Guernsey, and that
the total on board including the crew,
numbered 105.

AND THEY PROBABLY
CANNOT LIVE
The Hilda Was a Cross
Channel Steamer Bound
For St. Malo From South
ampton, Of the South
western Line.

st. Malo, France, Nov. 20.--This town
presented desolate scene this morning,
following the wreck last night of the
Southwestern railways cross-channel
steamer Hilda, in which it Is believed
over one hundred lives were lost. De-
finite information as to the circum-
stances of the wreck are still lacking.
The general opinion Is that the catas-
trophe was due to a species of mirage
which apparently altered the position OF
shore and channel lights, misleading
Captain Gregory and causing him to
take .4le wrong course.
Whether the Hilda used any signals
is not known. If they were used probab-
ly the snow storm, which prevailed, pre-
vented their being seen. The vessel
foundered withing two miles OF land.
The few persons who were saved, suf-
fered fearful experience. Fears are
entertained that they may not survive.
The disaster was first suspected
through the washing ashore of body
and the port authorities Immediately
sent out tug. 1t was then learned
that the Hilda was wrecked on D treach.
erous reef close to the island OF Cezam-
bre called LES Portes." She apparently
had struck, broken her back and imme-

the boats. The Jardin light is quite
close to the spot. 1t cannot yet be ex-
planned at what time or how the disas-
ter occurred. The entrance to st. Malo
is dangerous, the currents and rocks
needing the exercise of considerable eau
tion at all times but more especially in
bad weather

ter received yesterday by George w.
