s2,soo,o oo-customers Escape

London. Dec. 21.-At least three
Ives were lost and many persons were
seriously hurt in a fire which de.
'troyed the big drapery store of Ard.
ing & Hobbs at Chaplain. south.
Western quarter of London.
The fire was due, 1t is believed, to
ne breaking Of an electric light bulb
.mong cellulold articles.
The store. which covered an acre Of
ground and had five floors and hun.
1red departments. was crowded with
Christmas shoppers. In little more
than an hour the building was a mass
of ruins. The damage is estimated at
s2,500,000.
All the customers made their way
to the street in safety. The 300 en-
ployes followed them. The progress Of
the flames. which was assisted by the
Christmas decorations and festoons,
was SO rapid that some of the EN-.
ployes were caught in the upper floors.
One girl fell from the second floor
and was killed. Two men then jumped
and lost their lives.
