Safety on Adjoining Roof at
Pearl Street Blaze.
FIRE HARD TO FIGHT
Auto Nearly Upset by Snowbank
as Chief Rushes to Scene
Elevated and Storm
Hamper Work.

Chief Croker. Captain Sweet and ter
men Of Hook and Ladder Company 1C
faced death last night in a fierce fire
which completely destroyed the three
upper floors of Nos 249 and 251 Pearl
street Croker and his men were stand
ing on the roof Of No. 251 at the time,
when, without previous warning, the
roof caved in. Croker yelled as he felt
the roof sag beneath his feet. and he
and the others leaped to the roof Of No.
253, a drop of twelve feet
The chief had another narrow escape
en- his way to the fire. when his auto
mobile, in tearing around the corner of
Fulton street and Broadway. ploughed
through huge snow pile near the curb.
For a moment ii looked as though the
big car would capsize, burying Croker
and his driver beneath it. Captain
johnny Rush, however, managed to
keep the car upright. and they were off
again in a whirl of snow.
The fire started at about $50 o'clock,
on the second floor Of No. 251 Pearl
street, occupied by Bradley & Smith,
brush manufacturers. and rapidly ate its
way TO the roof, then spread to No. 2l9
The section in which the fire started is
a dangerous one, owing TO the fact that
many of the buildings, owing to their
age are highly combustible. AS soon as
Battalion Chief Murray arrived he sent
in a second alarm. bringing out addi-
tional apparatus and Chief Croker
The fire was particularly hard to fight
because of the proximity Of the elevated
railroad tracks. 1t was impossible to

the firemen could not play their hose
from the elevated.
Seeing that the fire was getting beyond
his control, Croker at the head of a
dozen men. broke open the street door
and fought his way up the stairways to
the roof A roaring furnace lay beneath
them, and the roof was likely any min

stuck to their positions, turning deluge

was leaning over the edge OF the roof,
looking down into the building at No.
249. when the roof began TO sag. Escape
was out of the question on that side of
the building. and he made a rush for
the roof of. No. 253. Croker and the
other men were In the rear of the roof
at the time. and they also made leap
for the edge. All dropped TO the neigh
boring roof landing uniniured.

always been regarded as scare dis

Elections Yesterday Wiped Out
Unionist Advantage and Gave
II to Government.
SOCIALISTS POOR SHOWING
John Burns, Labor Minister,
Greatly Increases Lead Over
Unionist Opponent IN Three
Cornered Contest.

London. Dec 6.-Three days polling in
the general election have given the
Liberals net gain of one seat. The
Unionist gain of five seats at midnight
on Monday has been wiped out by sensa-
tional losses.
The day opened with the loss Of the
two seats in Sunderland, UNEXPECTEDLY
won in January by Samuel Storey. a con-
vert from radicalism to tariff reform.
W. JoynSon Hicks was poor substitute
for him. T. Hamar Greenwood. with the
Labor candidate, Frank Goldstone as a
running mate. recaptured the oId-time
Liberal stronghold Of Sunderland with
Canadian pluck. This result offered
fresh evidence of the Closeness of the
alliance between Liberalism and organ
lied labor.
The Unionist hope for offsetting these
losses lay in the triangular contests
forced by the militant Socialists, but it
proved illusive.
John Burns was returned from Batter
sea with an increased majority over the
Unionist, Sir John Harrington. and the
Socialist, Shaw, and Grayson. with 4OS
Socialist votes. was powerless to prevent
the election of Stephen Collins, Liberal.

Unionists last January by splitting the

ploit. Burnley was a Liberal gain, and
Whitehaven was another victory for
coalition.
In consequence OF the concentration of

Helen's. in Lancashire, where the Union
lists have been doing very well.

and, with 10 per cent of the seats in the
new Parliament filed. the Liberals and
Unionists at that hour tonight were
precisely where they were when the cleo

COATES "QUAKE" CENTRES
Cleveland Astronomer Says
Elmira,. N. Y. Is Star Point.

Cleveland. Dec. 6.-Elmira, N. z, Is
doomed to be visited by an earthquake
according TO the Rev. F. L. Odenoach'
astronomical observer at St Ignatus
College. Father Odenbach made this
prediction tonight in the course OF a
lecture delivered in the public library.
"The latest scientific development in
ASTRONOMY" said Father Odenbach, IS
the location of seismic disturbances on
certain lines. Elmira, n. Y, is called
star point because half a dozen or THESE
lines meet there. The world has been
pretty well mapped out on this system
and Italy, Japan, Mexico and the Pacif1c
coast are criss-crossed with these lines
EImira cannot escape-when, no one
knows-but sooner or later an earth
quake must happen there
