The dead are: Mrs. Annie Murphy, 39 years old; Miss Katie Dunn, 23 years old; Jowphine Ryan, 5 years old; Martm Toohey, 9 yeurs old; Johnny D. Toohey, 11 years old, perhaps fatally burned. e fire was dicovered by Policeman McG rath, who heard a sound of break- ing glass, which he thought was caused by burglars. Runni Ha to the store on the ground floor of No. 262 Hudson street, occupied by J. Kratzenstein, fur- niture and upholstery, he broke a pane of glass in the window, when there im- mediately poured out a heavy volume of smoke. The policeman rapped for assistance, and two other officers re- sponded. Driven Back by Flame. They sent out an alarm and then broke in the doors of the main entrance to the house on the Dominick side, Flame and smoke rushed out and drove the policemen back. It was evident that it would be im- sible for the inmates of the house, ty in number, to escape by the stairs. The policemen hastened to the fire escape on the building and shouted to the panic stricken cocupants not to at- tempt to descend by the stairs. Then they climbed up the fire escape and aided the men, women and children to descend. In this they were sided by the firemen, who had quickly answer the alarm. Fireman Lucas, on reaching the fifth floor, found in the rear rooms Matthew Ryan, a boxmaker, who 15 a widower, and his three young children, almost overpowered by smoke, and un- able to help themselves. He dragged them to the window, and jwith the aid of his comrades, succeeded in getting them down the fire escape safely. A Fireman's Terrible Discovery. Just then hook and ladder truck No. 8 drove up, and one of its firemen, Matthew Murphy, sprang to the ground shouting: “Great d, it's my house! Where are my wife and children?” Be- fore any one oould stop him he rushed through the flames and smoke and fought his way up the stairs to the fifth floor. There he found the body of his wife burned almost beyond recognition in the hallway just outside her apart- ment, A little further away was the burned form of little J hine Ryan, thedead woman's niece. e was still living, but died soon after. The body of Miss Kate Dunn was found at the foot of a short ladder lead- ing to the roof. She had evidently been overcome by the smoke and burned to death while seeking to escape there. The two boys, John and Martin Toohey, Murphy's stepsons, were found in the room. They were removed to the rooms of the Monticello elub across the street, where the half dressed tenants had found refuge. Thence the boys were taken to St. Vincent's hospital. Martin Toohey was terribly burned all over his body, and died a few hours later. His brother John is not so badly burned, but is feared he may be fatally injured by inhaling smoke. Mrs. Murphy was married to Fireman Murphy only one month . Nine families resided in the house, and each family had an average of three boarders. The fire broke out in an un- occupied woodhouse in the cellar, and Sha police say that it was of incendiary BOULANGER'S DEATH.
