F1REMEN FREEZE TO LADDERS
Three Men Injured in Fighting Fire
in PHILADELPHIA.

Three men injured, four-story build
ing practically destroyed, and firemen's
clothing frozen to their ladders, were fea-
lures of stubborn fire which threatened
that part Of Philadelphia formerly known
as the fire belt" The fire started on the
third floor of the four-story building at
4O5 and 407 Market street, occupied by
Glace, Hall & Co., dry goods jobbers.
Three alarms were sent in, and the street
was soon filed with engines and firemen.
Ladders were run up to the top story,
and at every ten rounds fremen were
placed. The streams from the hose dash
ed against the walls and flew over the
men In a spray which, freezing as soon
as 1t struck them, locked them to the lad
ders in an icy grasp. The walls OF the
burning building. as well as those on each
side, soon became sheets Of ice, and the
men and horses also were covered with
ice. The loss was $4,000.
