Firemen Do Heroic Work-Four Men
Believed to Have Pershed.

New York, Nov. 23.-Four men are
believed to have lost their lives in a
fire which partially destroyed a sew
en-story business block building on
Canal street and which incidentally af-
forded an opportunity for a display
of heroism on the part of two firemen
who al imminent danger to themselves
saved the lives of four men trapped on
the top floor of the building.
The heart of the structure was a
seething mass of flames, when, at q
nod from Chief Croker, Firemen Ed
ward A. Rose and Frank Wintrich
scaled a 35-foot ladder to the fire es-
cape on the third floor, climbed through
fire and smoke to the roof and there
with flames bursting out all around
them, succeeded in rescuing four un-
conscious men, carrying them down
one by one back along the perilous
route. In point Of daring. the rescues
have seldom been surpassed in the an
nails of the New York fire department
Both firemen were overcome by smoke,
and Rose was severely burned about
the hands
The four men believed to have been
burned to death were reported by the
rescued men to have been on one of the
upper floors of the building when the
fire was at its worst. Their identity was
unknown to those who reported having
seen them in the burning building. The
building was occupied for the most
part by tailoring establishments and
small manufacturers and wholesalers
The loss is estimated at 100000
