TWENTY VICTIMS
Found After Tenement In New
York Was Burned.
BLACK HAND OUTRAGE

Fire Started I'm the Store and Spread
With Such Rapidity that Score Met
Death and rs Many Badly Burned.
The Bodies of the Dead We're
Found i'm Many Unexpected Places
Among the Ruins
A shocking loss of human life and
the destruction of property worth
more than one million dollars, were
caused by fires in New York and its
immediate vicinity in the "a hours
ending at eight o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
The fire wave struck Coney Island
and before ii subsidized Steeple Chase
park, score of hotels and many
amusement attractions were in ruins
and many persons homeless.
Four women were discovered dead
in closet where they had rushed to
hide from the flames. The body of "A
woman was found lying over "A child
as though she had tried to protect
1t from the flames. Five bodies were
found crowded around one doorway
on the top floor, showing that they
had been struck down while trying
TO escape
After an all night search of the
ruins of six story tenement on Chris
tie street, burned shortly after mid
night, the police announced that
there were twenty victims of the
fire.
The bodies of the dead were found
in all sorts of unexpected places to
which the people had fled when the
fire broke out. Almost all of the
bodies were burned beyond recoGni-
ton, many to such an extent that it
was impossible to distinguish the
sex A majority of victims, the po-
lice believe, were women and chill
dren.
The burned building was tene-
.ment common to the east side, with
store on the ground floor and apart
ments up stairs crowded with ten
ants, mainly Italians.
The fire started in the store and
swept through the building with such
rapidity that fifth of the 100 ten
ants met a horrible deatm. another
score, though they escaped, were
more or less burned.
1t is thought the fire was caused
by an explosion, Il citizen reported
that he heard loud report and saw
the store window crack and fall to
pieces. If this is true il is possible
that the great loss of life is due to a
Black hand" outrage.

AN EPIDEMIC OF GRIP.
| Scores OF Persons Fall Victims to This
Disagreeable Complaint.

Disaereeabie Complaint.
Local physicians report an epidemic
of la grippe in Martinsburg, and say
that the present wide prevalence OF
this disagreeable complaint is due en-
tirely to the unreasonable and almost
unprecedented weather conditions Of
the past 10 days. One physician
states that he has treated Is cases OF
grip in one day, while another says
that he was unable to respond to all
his professional demands on Sunday.
Yet another reports Is cases on Sat
urday, while others say they are kept
busy at their Offices prescribing for
those who are victims of the epidem-
ic. Only a change to colder and clear
er weather will alleviate present con
ditions, and in the meantime the un'
fortunate victims will grow hot and
cold by turns, and ache and burn in
every bone and muscle in their bodies.
