VICTIMS TRAPPED
ON FIRE ESCAPES
Tenants Rush from Sleep, to Be
Caught Where Rubbish
Blocked Passage.
FORTY INJURED AS
THEY FLEE FLAMES
Many Deeds Of Heroism Mark
Early Morning Holocaust in
New York.

New. York, March 14.-Nineteen per-
sons dead, twoscore injured, some SO
seriously that they may die, and nearly
200 persons temporarily homeless is in
brief the story of New York IS latest
fire horror.
The victims Of today,s disaster were
typical East Side people, the scene a
typical East Side tenement and the in
cldents attending it were in many ways
peculiar to that cosmopolitan quarter.
70 apparently reckless displays Of
heroism shown by firemen, policemen
and volunteer rescuers, alone, is due
the fact that the list Of dead is not
greater. '-r..
Two hundred persons herded in the
big fve-story double decker tenement
house were sleeping when flames from
an overturned or exploding kerosene
lamp in the basement spread thru the
structure. and wrapped the, entire
building in flames almost before an
alarm had been sounded.
Even when the sleepers awoke at the
first cry, it was almost too late, but
hardly more than a moment was neces-
sary to show them that their troubles
had scarcely begun. f.
Fire Escapes Blocked.
| The long narrow fire escapes which
ran down the building on each of its
exposed SIDES, had Deen made fecepua-
cles for rubbish of all descriptions, and
in many cases they were little better
than useless. 1t was found also that
every fire escape platform on the build.
ing had in it a 'blind'' or square
piece Of board which fits into the open
! ing, thru which the ladder passes in the
grated floor. The result Of these OBJ
structed escapes was evident when il
was found that nearly all the dead be-
longed on the top floor Of the building,
and were roasted before they were able
to reach the. aground.
Another case Of negligence which was
responsible for the loss of some lives,
was an immoyable skylight at the head
ltened securely and partially covered
Iby ice, this skY1ighr resisted all efforts
to force it, and a pile of the bodies OF
the dead lay under it when the horror
was over.

THE ORANGE FAIR.

Great Enthusiasm. Among the Towns people.
 The management of the Orange fair !announces that 1t has received gen. uine boom over the way the citizens of
 Orange are taking hold of it's fair this year. It was thought a few weeks ago
 that possibly the interest had subsided
 somewhat, but during the past week the officers of the fair have been noti-s fled that nearly every prominent fam 1 fly in town is decorating some kind of a | trimmed rig to show in the great floral parade, which will be held at 1:45 D. m. each day of the fair, September and Is, and, if stormy either day, the fair will be continued until the next pleas ant day. To the people who have attended this novel exhibition nothing need be said,
 for the universal verdict from those re- l turning has been that they always get
 double their moneys worth.
 The horse racing in the various class l es, for which purses of over $1,000 have
 been offered, will be more hotly con- Itested than ever. Horsennen appreciate 1 the fact that the Orange Agricultural society pay it's purses in full on the day
 the races are held. This goes a long
 way toward inducing a long line of en-. ! tries at this fair. @s ... N The railroad company has been very
 liberal in offering special excursion
 rates from twenty-five of it's nearby
 stations on all divisions, and people
 throughout New Haven county and ad-
 joining counties can reach Orange at a
 very nominal expense. All tickets will
 include coupon of admission to the fair.
 A record-breaking attendance is al-
 ready assured, but the facilities for car ling for the crowds, making every one
 comfortable, have been so greatly inn
 proved that no trouble is anticipated.
