THE BOWRRT?TOR DETAILS
OK Tilla DISASTER.
Flames in a ronr building adjoining the People's
Theatre in the Bowery Jil Ililli J afternoon caused
I creator loss of life than has occurred at any fire
in this city in many years. Men, women and
children, to the number of sixteen, wore baned to
death in the building. Beregal others were humed
seriously while escaping, and a few of them flied
before the flames were extinguished. All of tho
victims were Polish Hobie NR ignorant and too
stupid to malic use of the means of escape which
wen at, hand. Somo of them sacrificed their
lives In their eagerness to save a few paltry articles
of clothing and furniture.
' Firemen and jxdicenion were summoned prompt?
ly, but, tin- flumes spread rapidly, nnd the build?
ing was nbla/.e from top to bottom befON there
wns time for any organized work of rescue from
the outside. There wero many sickening sights
while tho work of extinguishing the flames was
In progress lind later when thc charred and dis?
figured corpses were bein:? carried out of thc
ruins, yet, tin- fliaaatei did not long interrupt
tins,ness or travel in the 1 lowery. Fire engines
and a bin crowd stopped thc street cars for nn
hour. but. the elevated trains thundered past the
burning building while the flames wore rising
above tbe root, und thousands of passengers rodo
lust the ruins while the bodies were being re?
moved mid did not notice that anything unusual
waa hupi cuing.
BOW 1H1". TU'ILDINO IS SHUT IN.
Tho burned building is six stories high and is
approached from tho Bowery hy au alloy five
feet wide and sixty feet long, which ruus between
the People's Th-atio nml Shlerloek & Noll's beer
shop, known as the " White Mouse,"' at No. 197.
I here are only a few feet of space between tho
low front building containing the boor shop and
the six-story building which also occupies jvirt
of the lot iu the rear of Charles Krutum's
ii.-.isi .-hali at No. 1G5 Ulirysti.-st. An
nlley, barely two foot wide, leads
to thy building from Chrysfie-st., between
Krumm's [dace and a beer shop next door.
Nearly 800 persons, mostly mon, wero at work
in tailor iboph in thc building when tho fire broke
out soon alter 4 p. m. 'J hero was a separate
shop on each floor above the flrst story, in which
lived John Sievenson, the Janitor, and his wife.
Mrs. Stevenson lirst discovered tin- (lain>*s and she
saut later that she saw thom burning the coiling
of her kitchen. Her husband was in one of tho
limps upMiirs when ha heard her cries. He ran
down to his rooms and escaped with his wife
after his hair had been singed.
Two stairways, one at each end of the building,
led to the second floor, where was Alexander
Horn's shop. Most of the men on thnt floor fled
quickly when tho flames cann: up from below.
A hoisting shaft, went up through the middle of
th.- building aud it let thc lire ko up to the roof
in a minute, "laen the flames spread rapidly
on each floor. Immediately there was a panic.
At each end of the budding were lire-is, apis,
but the frightened Hebrewa did r.ot use them
at the moment when the danger must have been
evident to alL
SENDING OUT THE ALARM.
A few moments after tho lire started it was
noticed hy men in the People's Thea!re. Charles
Curter, the janitor of tha theatre, and Charles
Norman, the stage carpenter, called on the other
mon to mau the flre-e.xtinguishing f-ppnrntus in
the building and protect the stage. Norman rang
the alana for tho Iiremen on the special building
signal bu.. in the theatre. Later he and other
nuti went 00 tba roof ot tho foyer at the end
of lb,- alley and within a few feet of tho burning
building. -lu\v heard the loud cries of tho
tallon :n the .shops and saw them liming clothing
mil of tin- windows. Norinan and his companions
pushed a fodder aeross tho open space to ono of
iin- windows and called to thc tailors to nene out
of th** lin*. At first Hie tailors paid no attention
to tho means of eeeepo which had boen offered,
but v. I.e-ii lin* heat of lin* SamU began to BCOlCh
their faces they left off frying to sc..* nndy-mado
garments and made a dash for th" ladder. A
few "f them passel over tho bridge in safety,
Then tin- end of the ladder sliprail off the window
i\m\ fell, end the men on tin- theatre roof saw tho
Haines abut tin* remaining tallon out of sight.
TRBRIRLR WORR OF THR FLAMES
M.-n willi tbeir clotbos on fin* uni! with tlie
burning flesh fairly dropping from their hands
uni foces were stac-goring ont of the building
when the fire engines rolled up jn Chrystie-st.
and in tiie Bowery. Facing the narrow court
back of tin- " White House'' an* thriv windows
in the second, third ami fourth Stories, and to
them there waa a crush of crazed people, hoping
thal this would alford thorn a means of escape.
Those mi the second floor could crawl out ol' the
window on ii narrow ledge that rnn along nt
the rear of tho court. Many of thom did so,
but ile- crush around the windows was so great
that few oonki get out, so wild und uncontrollable
bad the people beeline.
t'ne girl, Ada Frank, seo*ng all avenues of cs?
eu |m? cut off, sprang from the third-floor window
and tried to catch n light rope that was hanging
below lur. She did so. but struck the ledge as
flic fill and her grasp on the line was broken. She
fell to the pavement, fracturing her skull.
HAHOXH0 FROM A WINDOW WITH HIS CLOTHES
ON Fl 111'.
Men had hardly time to carry her away when
a loud shriek eaaaed the watchers to look up and
there, hanging by his hands from the sill of tho
window on fbi* fourth floor, was one of the men.
Ili> clothing was on tire and lie wau shrieking
for help. Noni- came, and the flames in th.- man's
clothing burned deeper into his flesh. Still ho
Blailg bravely to the stone cross piece. It was
lort ire to those who watched him, and shriek
after shriek eaaaed hy tho flames and fear of
death eane from the man. Hut ho lost hopi and
ii.-* Strained muscles gave way and with a terrible
cry Ins lingers loosened their grasp and
he sin,*, down tho narrow shaft to
Ibo stones. when* he lay burned and
.rushed into an unsightly form, hut still living.
Another man. whoso name could not be learned,
lumped from the third floor and tried io catch
llie ledge. Ile, too, niissi.l his nen and fell, being
nearly Ulled by tin- eoacoaaion.
Abrahan Schneider, who runs a shop on the
third floor of the adpiining building, heard tin
ililli', iiiul In- mn to tin- rear windows looking
nut into the coiiit.
Ob em!! floor was an iron door which opens
into tha dark Billy hack ol the burned building,
MBT the Chrystie-st. end. Joseph BpffiHiB and
Nutli:itl Cohen, who once, worked for BohBOldot,
knew of this nnaus of escape and led a crazed MUMS
nt people to th'* windows. Schneider called to
the people jn Bobefl-Jaa to go to the rear and tiley
i.iii ld get, out* that wu**. Tho peepll rushed to
the [iliicc, and their numbers alone delayed the
work of rescue, for they pushed and pulled one
ino!her in their efforts to cscap*.
Than Schneider opened tho iron doors anti he
lind one of his .vorkm* -n icu heil out their hands
to tbe women and tuen and pulled thom across
to nfatf Hen nf i<*t**i twenty-five people mn
rescued and th<- sam,- number wen- Liken out on
lin- floor below.
PATA! I'F.SIItE TU SAVE HIS -,Hi*l s.
Mor* livi s could have been saved had it not
liceii for tho greed of one of thc men, who per?
sisted in trying to save a pair ot new shoes which
he held in his hand, and thus delayed the work
of tjie rescuers. While this work waa being done
many saved themselves by jumping across the
court to tho roof of the tenement-house a few fee*
away. Several of them were hurt, hut most of
thom not at all seriously, and they were taken
homo by their friends.
All the people rescued were crazy, not only with
fear, but for thc loss of their few goods. One
girl who was pulled into Schneider's place wae
wild, and she had to be held to prevent her from
jumping out of tho window.
The flames followed the operatives to tha
back windows and shortly it became so
hot that i tf drove the rescuers in the adjoining
building from their positions. Schneider thought?
fully closed tho iron door and shut tho fire off
In this direction. As it waa. the heat was so
lntrn.se that by the time the firemen arrived, ths
heavy iron door was heated white, nnd finally
hurst open. On the floor above a number were
taken out in the same way. One of the workmen
tried to orpen the iron door, but lt was fastened
so -securely that ho could not do it at Amt.
In his excitement and efforte to open the door
he bumed his hand badly. He, too, helped to
pull a number from the burning factory to safety,
despite his bleeding hand. But ho was ahortly
driven from his place by the smoke, flames and
extrrmo heat, closing the door after him.
TnE DEAD AND INJURED.
While thc flrement were hard at work getting
the flames under control there wns talk of a
large loss of life in tho building. Three alanna
had been sent out, and Chief Shay soon hedi
enough engines to make short work of a bigger
lire. Before C p. m. the fire waa out and tha
Iiremen began a -search of tho ruins. They found
the bodies of ten men, two women and two
children in tho building. Meanwhile a man
nnd a woman had died in Simpson's pawn shop,
No. 105 Bowery, after escaping from the burning
house, and other victims had been carried away
dying to tho hospitals
Following is a li_.t of the dead and injured:
