get out some of the cars. When the lights
went out he came in contact with live
wire and was burned. Larkin and his men
had already got out, but they noticed that
the strange man whom they had seen run
into the building not with them. so
back they went into the darkness ana drag

Leopold was finally extricated. physl-
clan attended him and Catholic priest ad-
ministered extreme junction to him before
he was taken to the hospital.
Capt. Ryan was still alive when he was
pulled out but he died just after the priest
had pronounced the last rites of the church
over him.
Cap. Ryan was appointed fireman jan
uary IT, 1871. and was just about to leave

The Work Of Rescue.


Deputy Chief Larkin, with the men of
truck % and of engine So was fighting
the fire through a fire door between the
goug1 pit and converting station, pour
ing heavy volumes of water into the base
ment of the gouge pit. Chief Larkin's
lantern came In contact with live wire.
He was thrown down and hurt. When he
scrambled to his feet in the darkness, the
lighting plant being out of commission, he
and his men were obliged 10 brave further
danger from the electric wires, which spat
and sent forth electrical displays in every
direction. A sudden sheet of flame revealed
Connors and McCrum working over their
comrades. Larkin ordered the men with
him to go to the assistance of those VINO
were buried Firemen Convey and Dono-
hue led the rescue work, while the men or
engi~59 played the hose on those work
ing among the brick piles.
Leopold buried to his sholders in the
debris and McCrum and Connors were tug
ging away at him when the injured man
saw Convey, with whom he was graduated
from the School of instruction. He grasp
ed his hand and pleaded: please get me
out: save me. old man.. While the men
were at this dangerous work the fire sent
forth such a terrifice heat that their he'll
NETS began to burn. Every now and then
came a new explosion, the cause of winch
is ynoknown, and the men We're obliged TO
retire several times from the scene. Dono-
hue was cut in the face by a falling brlck
while working over Leopold.

were the first to run to the assistance OF
their comrades. The pitch darkness was
shot now and then by huge flashes OF
flames. which gave them their bearings.

and 141th streets. Lenox avenue and 9TH
avenue In them $50 persons were tmploy-
ed Besides the damage done here, flames
crossed 9TH avenue and raced about among
a row OF fats numbered OBJ TO 2531 doing
damage estimated at $4,000. Scores of
families were ordered out into the street
from these buildings. Here also number
of fremen had narrow escapes. The flames
barred their escape behind and they were
obliged to fight their way out with their
hose.
When the FIRE was over General Manager
Orcn Root visited the scene and placed the
loss at SI.Oop,OoU, which is a conservative
estimate That estimate is practically con-
fined To SEQ cars which were entirely new
and all destroyed. These cars are worth
about S-.UOo each.
IL was shortly before o'clock when
fam,, broke out in the northwest quarter
of the group of buildings in a fvestory
structure where was located what is known
as the 'guugc PIT" The gouge pit was OH
the ground floor, and here most of the cars
were stored.

the ire originated one in which the
cars were stored for the night. "A few of
these were destroyed. South of this build

Ignited Oil.
There ;-e fourteen tracks in the gouge
nit, all Of which were fun of cars. The
space underneath these cars had been
beneath them TO make repairs.
\ crew OF fifteen men was ut work in
the pit fixing cars when the flames started.
The concrete floor was dotted with puddles
OF oil and there was plenty of infiammable
material about in the shape of cotton waste
and grease-soaked car timbers. 1t is be-
ueved that defective insulation caused a
SHARK and ignited one of the puddles of
Oil THIS set the floor of the ear on fire,
and il was rot long before the ground floor
OF the building ablaze.
ON the floors above were storage rooms,
a carpenter shop and a paint shop. An
elevator shaft and a large freight shaft
leading upward furnished excellent fues
for the flames. With extraordinary rapid
ity they leaped to the top of the building,
so that the whole place became furnace.
Alarm Turned In.
An alarm was quickly turned in and
engine 81 was the first company to arrive.
Headed by Captain Ryan, the men took the
pipe and advanced down into an areaway
ten feet wide extending between lI6th and
18th streets and separating the car barns
from the flats which afterward took fire.
Their intention 10 keep the fire
away from the flats. While they were
working the north wall fell into l47th street
with deafening roar and the west wall
buckled over toward the fats The men
who were farthest inside the areaway
were the ones who got the brunt of the
falling bricks.
