leader in many other innovations that
have contributed to domestic comfort

holocaust Soon Over.

In an hour the fire was out; in half
an hour it had done it's worst; prob
ably the death list was full in 20 min
utes.
The building stands ON corner, with
exposure on two sides, but the only
fire escape was interior, opening on
light and air shaft. In all there were
seven exits-the single fire escape, two
freight elevators at the rear, two pas
senger elevators in front and two
stairways. All of them proved al
most useless and practically all who
escaped either climbed to the roof and
scrambled thence to the roof of the
building occupied by the American
Book company adjoining, or fed In the
first rush for safety before the crush
and the smoke grew too thick.
The first rush of flame was almost
an explosion. Operators died in their
chairs, their lungs scared by 1nhallng
flames. Others were crowded into the
elevator shafts after the cars had
made their last trip. Still others were
pushed off in the inadequate interior
fire escape.
Shower of Bodies.
In such a horrible stream did the
bodies overflow from the windows that
the fire nets, stretched by the first
company to arrive, were soon gorged
beyond capacity.
It was IS feet from the eighth floor
to the ground: about 95 feet from the
ninth floor, 115 feet from the cornice
of the roof, and the upward rush of
the draught and the crackle OF the
flames drowned their cries.
Six girls fought their way to a
window on the ninth floor over the
bodies of fallen fellow workers and
crawled out in single file to an eight
inch stone ledge, running the length
of the building. More than hundred
feet above the sidewalk they crept
along their perilops pathway to a
swinging electric feed wire spanning
Washington Place. The leaders paused
for their companions to catch up at
the end of the ledge and the six
grabbed the wire simultaneously. 1t
snapped like rotten whip cord and
they crashed to death.

a woman appeared. The man en-
braced the woman and kissed her

Origin Unknown.

How the fire started will perhaps
never be known. A corner on the
eighth floor was it's point of origin and
the three upper floors only were swept.
On the ninth floor so bodies were
found SO or more persons were crush
ed to death by jumping and more than
30 cIogged the elevator shafts. The
loss to property will not exceed $780,
900.
Pedestrians going home through
Washington place to Washington
square at 10 minutes to were scat
tered by the whizz of something rush
ing through the air before them; there
was a horrible plop on the pavement
and a body fattened on the flags.
Four alarms we're rung within 10
minutes. Before the engines could re-
spond, before the nets could be
stretched or the ladders raised, five
girls had fallen from the eighth and
ninth floors so heavily that they broke
through the glass and iron roofs OF
the sub-cellars and crashed through
the very streets into the vaults be-
