Several Explosions.
During the fire there were many ex-
plosions of barrels Of oil stored in the

injury by flying bricks.
David L. Levy, secretary, treasurer
and general manager Of the morocco
company, had such a nervous attack
soon after the fire broke out that he
had to be removed to his home, No.

thought of the nremen, many of whom
haG responded 10 the alarm without
their supper, and he ordered sand
witches and hot coffee for the men from

Before 9 o'clock several companies
went out of service, and after the fire
was extinguished Assistant Chief
Maloney directed all the engines home
with the exception Of the Friendship
