Eleven Girls Employed in tho
Shoe Factory Escaped, by Way of
an Adjoining Roof.
Ol) pliant was, yestoidny, visited by
one ot tho moBt dlsastioUB conflagra

Hhoo factory, one of its pilnclpal In
dtistilcs, nnd the furnltuio stoic of P.
T. Dougher, one of the largest of the
business places, weie attacked by
flames during the em ly afternoon, and
befoie the firemen had them In check
damage to the extent of neaily ?4O,O00
resulted,
The buildings adjoin on the plot
bounded on tlnee sides by the liver,
Lackawanna Btieet and River stieet,
the Dougher building facing Lacka
wanna stieet, and the factoiy building
being In the leat. Both buildings
were of finme consti notion, the Dough

and the factoiy building thice stoiles.
The shoe factory was totally dc
stioyed, nothing timalnlng but four
chimed walls enclosing a mass of de
bt In and bioken wnehlneiy. The fuinl
tuie stole, thanks to the energetic
woik ot the volunteer fliemen, escaped
with t omnaiatlvelv small damages
The leaf and pait of the loot of the
building weie eaten nwnv and the
whole iuteiior was water soaked.
STOCK CARRIED OUT.
Tho stock on the main llooi was ear

W. A, Robeits and Albeit Zeatfnss,
who with their families occupied tho
second llooi of the Doughet building
succeeded In saving neaily all their
furniture.
The Ihe slatted at 130 p m , in the
packing loom on the fiont of the sec

building occupied bv the shoe factoiy.
Its cause is unknown Malinger Al
nieiln Stone and Bookkeeper Thomas
F. McHale had just returned fiom
dlnuei, and Mr. McHale was ascend

flames emitting fiom the packing loom
He gave the alaim and called to Man
ager Stone who, aftei seeing that the
blaze was one that would likely spiead
ipilckly to the stall w a) s, lushed to the
thlid floor to alarm the eleven gills at
work theie By the time they lenchect
the stall way the smoke was coming up
in volumes, and not wishing to have
them take any ilsk, Managei Stone
had them make theli exit bj going
out the windows on to the loot ot the
Dougher building and thence thiough
the scuttle to the stnitwavs inside
Manager Stone, himself, went down by
way ot the factoiy stalls that he might
assist Bookkeeper McHale In getting

than two houis. The fautoiv building
was beond saving befoie the iltenien

While the lliemen weie battling with
