FACTORY GIRLS
SAVED BY DRILL
Keep Their Heads and Escape
as Explosion Starts New
York Fire.

NlXS YORK, April 2.--When an
explosion in the sowdlst blower of
the cigar-box factory Of Nicholas Al
thaus, at Avenue c and East Seven
tenth street, yesterday, set the build
ing afire, IS girls at work pastine
labels on cigar boxes kept their heads
when the faotory's regular fire alarm
signal sounded. AL the girls were
out of the five-story brick building
in little more than q minute, by
which time the fire that swept the
building, from the basement to roof,
in less than ain hour, had gained
Roadway.
One hundred men employees fled
down the fire escapes to safety. Soon
the entire building vas in flames.
Half a dozen flremen, working on the
roof, were rescued with extension
ladders.
Althaus said all his employees had
been accounted for.
When the explosion occurred Il
threw the fire from under the boiler
in the engine room, scattering coals
among the sawdust and light box
wood. The signal for d fire alarm
drill was sounded and the girls
marched into the street In an orderly
fashion after q stampede was mar
rowly averted by foremen In the
halls.
Fifty men employed on the lower
floor of the building reached the
street by the fire escapes, the stair.
ways being left to the girls. Ten
ants OF the three adjoining teneinents
were directed to the street by the
police.
Three alarms brought apparatus TO
| fight the spread of flames, including
| the flreboats, Abram S. Hewitt and
William L. Strong, from which lines
Of hose were run to the building. Bur
| In spite OF this unusual supply and
the quick erection of three water
| towers the box factory was reduced
| to O shell of brick in record time.
Fire Commissioner Adamson, Third
Deputy Police Commissioner Dunhan
and Fire Chief Kenlon answered the
alarms. Only glance was required
| by Chief Kenlon to sec that 1t was
| impossible to save the building, and
he turned his attention to keeping
the flames from spreading to the
| closely congested building surround
ing the factory.
Smoke from the building rose in &
| huge black mass and drifted across
the river. Shot with brilliant yellovs
| flames, tho black smoke lifting from
| the roof in great sweeping curve
| presented O spectacle. that drew the
eyes of thousands along the water
front.
On the roof of the building just be-
| fore 1t caved in six firemen were
| seen i1ewing with axes. These were
| the men rescued by means OF exten-
sion ladders. =,
