poured water by the hundreds of gal
Ions from behind the brick front OF
the Donohue building into the top
Of the opera house and the Donahue
building. The battle OF the firenen
was made much greater from the
fact that the opera house building -
100 feet long.
BY 2:30 o'clock, however, little
more than an hour after the fire was
discovered. the blaze was under con-
troll.
Its origin Mystery.
How the fire started will never be
known, in all probability. At the
time of the first evidence OF fre a
dozen or more men were either in
that building or those nearby, wait
ing to go home.
Within the theatre itself was Will
lam Noonan, of 179 Ellison street, the
night Waterman. He had made his
rounds, he says, and there was no
evidence of FIRE, so far as he could
learn. Finally he went to the stage
where he detected the smok coming
from the musicians room, under the
stage. When he smelled smoke he
turned IN an alarm from the auxil-
larry box at the opera house, station
522. But the apparatus did not re-
spond to that box.
He then ran down the street when
the fire apparatus did not respond
and called to Patro1man Zlmlinghaus
and Patrolman Love, and both turned
in alarms.

not been for the ~act that this is

the entire block. The wind was how
ing almost a gale from the north and
licked the fire against the solid walls
of this structure. The only other es-
adjustment in the opera house build

This place was completely Quilted,

All these people were awakened N

energy to preventing the spread of the

horses became frightened and pulled
away With this the hose connec-
ton to the hydrant was severed and
the firemen had great difficulty in
stopping the runaway team, which
nearly reached the corner of Oliver
and Cross streets. Meantime the
members of Engine No. Z, who were
depending on the engine for water,
were almost prisoners in the flames
at the rear of the burning building.
When their water supply was cut
off, they had to make their escape
from the smoke. After some diff
Guilty a repair was quickly made and
Enine No. was soon in service.
Chief Coyle and Battalion Chief
Nolan entered the Donohoe building
and reached the roof directly adjoin-
ing that of the Opera House. Here
several streams did very effective
work in preventing the spread of the
fire to the Lockwood building.
-Four Burned in Back Draught.
Four of the firemen were severely
burned by an unexpected back
draught caused by the areaway

trance to the room beneath the
stage. When the door was broken
open a back draught caused the
flames to shoot out into the area
way and completely enveloped the
fjremen. All were badly burned
about the arms and bodies, and
telephone calls were sent in for the
ambulance of both hospitals.
The ambulance from st. Joseph's
Hospital took Shoger and Green to
the General Hospital, and the am
bulance from the General took Glea-
son and Hepp to st. Joseph's Hospi-
tai Everyone helped in giving the
quickest possible aid to the injured
firemen. AS soon as they were in
jured they were rushed to the lunch
room at the corner of Market and
Main streets, and from there word
was sent to the hospitals. While
none were fatally burned all are
suffering intense agonies as result
of the burns about their limbs and
bodies.
Aged Woman Carried Out.
Mrs. Henry Smith, the aged mother
of ex-Assemblyman John F. Smith,
was carried from her home by Patrol
men Stapleton, Tom McGrath and Irv-
ing Cook. She was taken to the home
of Miss AgneW nearby, in Isaac A.
Halls limousine car. Mrs. Smith
was excited and almost overcome,
since the sparks came dangerously
near her home.
The building of 2S2 Main street,
north of the Opera House, gave the
flremen an excellent opportunity to
confine the flames, since they were
able to get on the roof and work
without great difficulty. This struc-
ture is owned by former Mayor An
drew F. Mcbride, and is occupied by
DIR. Robert F. Dowell, who lives on
the third floor, and a dental parlor
of DR.. Aubrey Burke on the second
floor. The two lower floors are oc-
cupied by the Zizette French Clean
ing Company and the Comfort shoe
store. In the rear of these stores
water did considerable damage, but
the loss is covered by insurance.
