conducted by the Salvation Army, at
Ninth and Market streets
Five Hundred slept i'm Building.
Fully 500 men were asleep in the
building when the fire was discovered.
the greater number being on the sec
Ond and third floors. All became panic
stricken, and before the firemen ar.
rived and stretched nets many had
jumped from the upper windows and
were picked up crushed and uncon-
scious on the street below. The four
dead have not been identified. as the
bodies were burned to a crisp.
Waterman Discovered Ii.
Waterman O'Connell, who was sta
toned on the third floor. discovered
the fire. He had gone to the clothes
closet to get some wearing apparel
for several men who We're practically
without clothing, and upon opening
the closet door a sheet of flame belched
forth, burning off his hair and eye
brows. The Waterman was unable to
shut the door, and the whole room was
quickly filled with flames and smoke.
O'COnnell gave the alarm and hurried
around waking up the sleeping in
mates.
The closet had formerly been an old
elevator shaft. and with the door open
draft resulted that quickly spread the
fire throughout the building.
At every window could be seen the
forms of half naked men, calling to
firemen in terror and a few moments
later leaping from the burning build
ing to be crushed on the sidewalk be-
low. Life lines, fastened at the win
dOws, provided a means of escape for
scores of the dodgers.
Ran Through the Streets.
Terror took possession of the men,
and a number of them started to run
escaped from the building The thinly
clad. frenzied men ran madly until
they were pursued, caught and taken
in ambulances to places of warmth. !
Dozens are sick from the effects of
the smoke and gas inhaled. Some men. |
apparently not hurt at all, were crying !
abjectly and were not able to tell !
what was the matter with them.
About 50 men were crowded into the
basement, sleeping when the fire was
discovered. They were unable to getb
out, as the door was apparently locked. |
Their cries attracted the attention of |
the policemen and the basement door
was broken in. The men poured out
of the basement like rats from a trap.
The firemen called to those in the
windows not to jump until nets could
be stretched but all to little avail, for.
as fast as the flames roared nearer to
the windows the men jumped. Fire
swept through the second and third
floors and damaged the structure TO
the estimated extent of $4,000. The
cause of the fire has not been ascer-
tanned.
Two More Die.
The seriously injured were taken TO
the city hospital, and two died there.
Six others are not expected to live.
