SERIOUS NEW YORK FIRE.
Nearly 5000 People Driven from Crowd
ed Buildings into the Street

| New York, Feb. IA fire so serious
that practically all of the fre-fghting
apparatus in New York City was sum.
moned to combat it broke out late Sat
urday night in one of the most congested
sections of New York near the Bowerv
throwing thousands of tenants, hotel
guests, theatre-goers and dancers into
panic In place of the great casualty
list which the police feared when five
alarms and ambulance calls came in, the
reports from the scene were startling
because not a single serious injury was
reported The wonder of it was great
when the police estimated that nearly
1000 people were driven from crowded
buildings late at night, some in terror,
into the streets, where they shivered in
cold near the zero mark. The rout which
the fire caused was summed as follows
Three hundred tenants of the tenement
building near the corner of Stanton and
Christie streets, where the fire started !;
1000 young men and women who were
dancing on the upper floors OF seven
story building adjoining the tenement
which took fire and burned rapidly; 400
women in the Salvation Army hotel for
women on the Bowery, which was seri-
ously threatened when the dance hail
behind it burned down; 400 men in
hotel near the Salvation Army place;
1000 spectators of play in Yiddish
theatre; l.5o0 tenants of buildings in
the vicinity, which were not threatened,
became so frightened that they fled their
homes. These tenants were mostly for
eigners.
The fire started on the third floor of
the tenement building at I9l-l93 Christie
street, which was seven-story struc-
ture, and spread with great Tapidity to
the roof and to the upper floors of the
dance hall adjoining The young women
in the hall, suffering hysteria, rushed
down several fights of stairs with their
escorts and shivered in the cold until
they found shelter in neighboring stores
and tenements. Less than an hour after
they We're out of the building the dance
hall was a mass of flames and the roof
fell in.
The Yiddish theatre was in the rear of
the burning building. Mrs. AIintz, wife
of the manager, was the leading woman
in the play being given, and was in the
middle OF the third act when the fire
was discov,eed To get the audience
out quickly, the manager announced that
his wife had become suddenly i'll and the

charred lump in the basement yester-

Several other pieces of human flesh and

Of Cook
Stove Wrecks Kitchen

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Jan. 2-(spe-
cial.)-A most peculiar accident, nearly
resulting in a tragedy occurred at the
residence Of John Squires a prominent
citizen of this place, the extreme cold
weather that has prevailed for the last
few days being responsible. Mr.. Squires
had gone to the kitchen early in the
morning to examine the fire in the range
and was standing with his back to it
warming himself. Suddenly, a tre-
mendous explosion occurred and some
thing struck him with terrific force In
the back, the air was filled with ashes
and debris and the kitchen. utensll tum-
bled about in all directions. When the
atmosphere cleared and Mr.. Squires had
somewhat. recovered from the shock, he
found that the big range had been blown
to atoms, all the windows shattered and
the room generally wrecked. 1t was the
teakettle that had struck him with such
force. and upon further examination 1t was
found that an iron lid had crashed
through the ceiling to the floor above.
Pieces of metal and cooking utensils
were found in all directions. How Mr.
Squires escaped fatal injuries or instant
death Is little short of miraculous. The
explosion was caused by the freezing of
the pipes between the waterback and
the tank.
