which mushroomed through the
building with startling rapidity,

merchant, his wife and two do.
mestics burned to death today
before firemen could rescue them.
Neighbors, aroused by screams
from an upper floor of the resi-.
dence, summoned firemen. BY
the time they arrived, however.
the building was an inferno. Mr..
browne, apparently overcome by
smoke while sleeping, was found
dead in a room on the fifth
floor. In another room the bodies
of his wife and the servants were
discovered.
A wire-haired fox terrier fled
to the basement where he was
found later.
Most of Mr.. Brownies art COL
lection, including several Rem
brandts, early American engrav-
ings and valuable first editions
and coins, was destroyed.
