SNATCHEDFROM DEATH
THRILLING RESCUE AT A TENE-
MENT FIRE.

A dispatch from New York says: Two men
had remarkable escape from death in the
flames, property valued at $1Oo,0,v was de-
stroyed and hundreds of tenement dwell
ers He'd from their homes terror a
result of fire in seven-story factory
building at Stanton and Mangin streets
early today. For two hours the flames baf-
fed the firemen. The place where the
fire ragged is in the center of the so-callcd
sweat shop district, and the tenements are
filled with employees in these places. When
they were aroused by the clang Of the
fire engines and the red glare of the flames
they rushed into the street in panic, car
rying what few valuables they possessed.
Even when the fire was under control they
refused to return to their homes. and re-
manned shivering in the cold until the last
spark had been eXtinguished.
When the fire was discovered it had
spread through the entire lower part of
the factory building, and two watchmen
whose escape had been cut off by the
flames, were standing at upper window
wildly crying for help Gradually, as the
fire gained Roadway, the men were driven
upward until at last they We're forced to
seek refuge on the roof.
Ladder to the Rescue.
There they found temporary safety but
in few minutes the flames began to break
through the roof and close in around the
two men. The firemen We're helpless. Their
longest ladder would reach scarcely two
thirds the height of the burning building,
and the fire escapes were wrapped for half
their length in flames.
At almost the last moment, when the
blazing encircle had narrowed down until
the clothing of the helpless men had begun
to smoke from the intense heat, a great
new fire truck, with ladder which never
before had been called into service, dashed
through the frightened crowd in the street
Quickly the ladder was raised and almost
before its topmost round had touched the
coping q fireman appeared besiue the two
men. In another moment he had handed
them one after another to comrades who
had followed him and they were carried
to the ground.
