F|REMEA
INJURED BY CAS-

Five Others Overcome in ATT
tempting to Rescue Conn
rades at Cellar Blaze.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Stunned and
knocked down by three terrific explo-
sions Of gas meters in quick success
sion and then enveloped In sheets of
flame that suddenly burst up all
around them from hundreds of paper
and wooden boxes. seven firemen be-
came inssnsible In the cellar of the
four-story apartment house at 2034 Full
ton street, Brooklyn, early today, while
lighting a fire there, and had narrow
escapes from death.
Five companions. attracted by the
detonations and the failure of the fire
men to come out, rushed into the place.
Notwithstanding the flames were roar
ing and the smoke pouring up IN
clouds, and sought to rescue them.
They in turn were overcome and be-
came insenslble. The twelve were
finally dragged out by other firemen
half stupefied by the smoke n gas.
Captain John Hartman, of Truck NO.
10. who led the first batch of rescuers,
was taken In a dying condition to st.
Mary's Hospital. His condition is re-
ported to be critical.
The work OF rescue was perhaps the
most difficult and sensational that the
frenien of Brooklyn have had to per-
form in years. 1t. was only due to the
~unfinching heroism of the companions
Of the twelve men that they were moi
burned to death. Captain Hans Falle-
sen. who led the seven men who first
became unconscious into the cellar
said hc mnrveled that the firemen went
down for him and his companions.
He said that as he and his compan-
ions tried to reach their feet and stag
ger through the flames after having
beer knocked down by the force of the
explosions he felt sure that he coulc
not escape or be rescued.
Six of the men were so badly Over
come that physicians from the Bradford
Street and st. Mary's hospitals had &c
work over them an hour and thirty
minutes before they could be revived.

partly for the pleasure of such of the
inmates as are in condition to attend
the games.
Recently some of the members of the

were not able to attend to their duties
and play ball three or four times a
week on the cereal die that was be-
ing served them. 1t Is said that this
complaint was followed by a strike OF
the entire team, and that no baseball
