New York, July Shocking loss
Of human life and destruction of prop

twenty-four hours ending at a.. m:
Twenty persons are dead and fifteen
suffering from injuries as a result of
the burning Of the six-story double
tenement in Chrystie street and the
financial loss resulted from the de-
struction Of the Long Beach hotel at
Long Beach, l.. l., and the Steeple
Chase park and other property at
Coney island. In addition the steam
ship Hamilton of the Old Dominion
line came into port with part Of her
hold ablaze. The Hamilton was at
her dock before any of the passengers
knew there was fire on board. The
flames were extinguished after about
$4,000 damage had been done.
The explosion Of bomb, placed, the
police believe, by agents of the Black
Hand in an Italian grocery store on
Chrystie street, started the fire which
swept through the teeming Italian
tenement and destroyed the lives of a
score Of people and injured fifteen
others. The noise of the explosion
caused panic in the densely popu-
lated district.
The police say that many persisted
in the flames, fearing to escape to the
streets, where they believed death
awaited them from the dreaded Black
Hand. A second explosion from a
kerosene tank followed and the whole
lower floor was a mass of flames from
blazing oil.
Flames Cut Off All Escape.
The fire shot up the stairways, cut
ting off all escape from those in the
bedrooms above. Many rushed to the
with frightened people. The house
was filled with dense smoke and the
flames, rushing up stairs, drove the
half crazed people toward the roof.
The flames killed many as they were
about to be rescued from the roof,
while others were overcome by smoke
There were many heroic rescues by
f1remen.
The bodies Of the dead were found
in all manner Of places. Four women
were discovered dead in a~closet where
they had rushed to hide from the
flames, which found them out. The
body of a woman was found lying over
child as though she had tried to pro-
tect it from the flames. Five bodies
were found crowded around one door,
way on the top floor, showing that
they had been struck down while try
ing to escape.
The fire wave first struck Coney
island and before it subsidized Steeple
Chase park, a score of hotels and
many amusement attractions were in
ruins and many persons were home.

fire. Then came the Chrystie street

flames were discovered, but all left
