&C.
The flames swept with murderous
suddennesS from cellar to attic Of q
i've story brick tSnement at Lexiag
ton avenue and 10th street, in the
thickly populated East Side. The
blaze apparently started in a baby
carriage under the stairs in the lower
hall, under almost identical circum
stances as the recent fire in an upper
West Side apartment house which re.
suited in seven deaths. So quickly
did the flames shoot through the
building that several of the dead were
found in bed, burned or suffocated
without the slightest opportunity to
escape.
Nathan Silver ard four OF his chill
dren were among the victims. Mrs.
Silver escaped. Mr.. and Mrs. Abram
Matilsky and Sidney and Catherine
Sugarman, brother and sister of Mrs.
Matilsky, also persisted.
Shortly after one o'clock Sunday
morning, City Marshal Joseph Lazar-
US, while on his way home, saw
smoke issuing from the hallway Of the
building. He hurried to the next cor
rer and turned in an alarm. When he
returned the whole building, the
ground floor OF which is occupied by
stores, was mass Of flames. and
exit by the stairways was cut off.
Most Of those on the second floor sue
ceeded in making their way down the
fire escape, but those on the upper
floors had to battle through smoke
and flames pouring out of the win
dows.
Several tenants perched upon upper
story windows threatened to jump,
but were prevailed upon by firemen
to remain until ladders could be
raised to take them down. One aged
woman, Mrs. Mary Inglas, disregard
ed the warning and lsaped from the
fourth floor, receiving injuries which
caused her death.
Nearly a score OF persons owe their
lives to 17-year-olf James O'Donnell,
mechanics helpHr, who was eating
at a restaurant ir the vicinity when
he heard a woman cry for help. Run
ming to the street he saw the woman
leaning out of the window on the
secod floor of the tenement, with two
small children by her side.
The young man clambered on the
sill of a store window, jumped and
caught a swinging sign, and pulled
himself up to the window. He led
the three frightened tenants down the
fire escape to the street, and then ran
back and rescued the woman's 49,
month old baby, who was asleep In
crib.
William Corners, %, also rescued
several persons from the third floor.
The card on the bedstead Of Fred
Strokkach, who is recovering in the
hospital from the effects Of smoke,

OF the heroes of the fire. He saved
