The dead are Max I'omeranti, forty-seven years old j Mrs. Pomerantz, forty-three, and four of their five children, Meyer, nineteen : Bamuel, eighteen: Uenjamln, thirteen, and Esther, eleven. They were trapped while .sleep and had no chance to escape. When the solo remaining member of the family, Jacob Pomcrnntz, returned home and discovered what had happened he went wild with grief and refused to be corn fortod by neighbors. Ills ability as a mu sician saved him from the same fate as Ms parents and brothers and sisters, as he was called to play at a concert last night Recovery of tho bodies aftor tho flames had ceased licking their way through the four-story brick building, on the first floor of which Pomerantz had a photogrnphlc shop, showed that warning of tho proximity of tho flames had como too lato. Tho 'children had awakened la time to see their escnpo cut off; the suffering they endured before the end was pit! ly evidenced on their faces. Both of little Esther's arms were burnt off, while Benjamin was clutching his hair. PARENTS SUFFOCATED Tho father and mother had apparently died from suffocation. They wero found dead locked In each other's arms, While tho fire was at Its height, 200 persons revelling nt a wedding next door. 607 North Fifth street, suddenly became awaro of the danger sfrom tho flro and started to run for tho street. Several wo men fainted and excitement spread with the addlt.onal trouble, Tho flro was discovered at 1:30 by Leon fiavrln, of S02 Oreen street, and Morris Kret, of 3252 Oermantown nvenue. They were going home from a dance and had gone to Fifth street for a car. They noticed a picture frame burning In the shop on the first floor and rushed back to a saloon two squares away, where they telephoned for firemen. ' The high wind that swept through the Harrow street fed the flames to such an . extent that when Knglno Company No. 21 clustered In front of the house, the second and third stories were ablaze, while the first floor was a cauldron of Jumping Carries. ' FIREMEN IJNTER HOUSE Battering their way with ladders that were Bwept down by tho gale, tho firemen finally shot a sufficient stream of water . through tho upper stories to allow them to ' ,anter the house through perilous climbing from adjoining houses. Narrow ledges that led to tho spot for rescue wero used by Knowles, Jones and Tort, of the engine company. In getting In the house. There they found the charred bodies, the children In the front of the third story, tho parent In tho rear. Hasty examination proved them all dead, and with difficulty the firemen succeeded In handing down tho bodies to the street, whence they were taken to the Hahnemann Hospital. As the bodies were being lowered, Jacob Pomerantz was just returning home. He watched the fire from the opposite side of the street calmly, thinking that his family had been rescued. "Who are theyt" he Inquired of a neigh bor. "Oh, some firemen," he was told But shortly after another neighbor, com ing from a store, told him exactly what had happened, Jacob stood there dully for a while, as though he could not com prehend, and then raved like a man gone wild. He disappeared, but whether he Is now In the Roosevelt Hospital, as was Btated, or with friends, Is not known. Pomerantz was well known among Jews of this city, having beenhe photographer for thousands of that faith. Ho formerly conducted a studio nt Fifth and South treets, but had been located nt the Oreen treet address for some time. The building's Interior was destroyed, but a shell standing when the flames were checked. Flro department men started an Investi gation today to ascertain the origin of tho Are. The damage Is placed at $10,000, ELMIRA DIVORCED MAN GETS LICENSE TO WED Charles H. Waters to Marry Mrs. Mar tha Costello, Milliner Other Permits A. marriage license was Issued to Charles , H.

As the Public Service Commission has handed down no decision upon tho city's application for a "certificate of public con venience" authorizing tho construction or the delivery loop, Director Twining ennnot award tho contracts on Tuesday, but the bids will bo opened according to schedule. The work will bo divided Into threo con tracts, ono for tho construction of n two track subway and two stations In Arch Rtreet, between Uroad and Eighth streets; for a two-track subway and ono station In Eighth street, between Arch and Locurt slicets, the third for tho construction or it two-track subway and wo stutlons In Locust street between Eighth and Uroad strrcts.
