DOLLS PIANO FACTORY BURNED.

DOLLS PIANO FACTORY BURNED.
 Jacob Doll, who has summer home at Mt Tom, had his piano factory in New York burn down, Tuesday night. The factory is six-story structure, the firm name being Jacob Doll & Sons, at No. 4O2 to 412 East 30th street. The three story building next to 1t, at 3Oth street and First avenue, occupied by John H. Carl, sash and door factory, and also the Doll company's blaming | mills, were destroyed by fire. Fire Chief Croker of New York estimated l the total loss at S25O,0 900. The chief | was bitter in his criticism of the police and the low water pressure. He de- clared that the failure of the water supply had increased the loss to point far beyond what it should have been, and predicted that unless something was done to correct this deficiency in that section. The fire was specta- cular in a high degree and attracted thousands of persons, including sever al city officials and many automobile partles, in one of which was Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who was drenched by misdirected hose. Several dense ly crowded tenementS backed up against the rear wall of the burning factories, and the tenants, for the most part lta Hans, made 1rantlc eHOrJS to save their household goods. Sever al persons were injured in the stam- pedes. A great crowd gathered on the tops of the lumber piles on the north side of 3Oth street. Finally these piles caught fire, and as the occupants re- fused to come down, Chief Croker or dered several lines of hose turned up. on them. They scrambled down when
 the streams struck them, and Will liam E. Berenz, ot No. 832 Second av. enue, fell to the ground and received
 a fracture of the ankle which may
 necessitate amputation.
