PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 2t).Niiutecii
know n dead find property loss amounting
to upwards of J.-IKI,OIMJ is the awful re
sult of a lire which occurred yesterday
in the business portion of the ciiy. The
number of injured Is not known definite
ly, but fully a score of victims were
trentcd nt various hospitals.
Police and firemen are delving iuto
the ruins In search of bodies supposed
to have been buried heueulli the debris,
ns it Is fen red Unit others besides the
I now ii dctul may have lo t their lives iu
fhe Humes.
The liuil lings destroyed were the eight
story structure at 121!) and 1221 Market
street, occupied bv Hunt, Wilkinson ,"i
Co., upholsterer and furniture dealers,
and three three-story buildings occupied
by small merchuiils. The big furniture
building extended hack a half block to
Commerce street, mid was owned by
Henry ('. Lea.
Never in Its history has Philadelphia
cxjierieiu ed n lire which spread with
such crest rapidity. At 1ii;2i o'clock in
the morning the blare broke forth aii'l
one hour later Hie horrible sacrifice of
life had been made and the immense loss
of property had hts'ii accomplished. The
origin of the death-dealing conflagration
is unknown. It is said that un explo
sion of naptha or gasoline in the base
ment was the cans", hut this is denied by
Mr. Wilkinson, who says there never
was a suKlcient quantity of either explo
sive about the building to be rcspeusihle
for the terrible disaster. Uuinor has it
also that nil elevator constructor at
work In the basement permuted the
flame of his lantern to communicate with
some of the gaseous liquids stored ill the
bnseuieiit and that this was the cause of
the conflairration.
Such n disastrous lire, attended with
so great n loss of life iu such n brief
period, was never before known in this
city. Men anil women died a lingeiir.
agonizing death in the presence of thnu
sands of spectators v. ho were unable to
lift n hand to their assistance.
The rear of Hunt. Wilkinson & Co.'s
building faces on Commerce street, a
small thoroughfare, tin the fire escapes
nt this end of the building two men ami
one woman were slowly roasted to death,
while the horror-stricken throng on the
street Isdow turned sick ill the sight.
One woman who leaped from n window
fell nstride of nil awuiug pole nnd her
body was torn almost in half. The
corpse hung iu the air many minutes be
fore the lircmeii could recover it.
Iu front of .Market street n woman,
driven to desperation, leaped from a win
dow on the top floor ami was dashed to
death on the pavement. These are but
n few of the heartrending scenes attend
ing the toiitlagriitiou. l-'irciueii claim to
have seen men and women unable to
reach the w indows or fire escapes burned
to death in the interior of the building.
If this Is' so, little or nothing remains
tins,, victims ami It is doubtful if any
portion of their bodies will be recovered.
Seventy-nine of the 1IKI persons In
Hunt. Wilkinson & Co.'s huildiug when
the fire started were employes and the
remainder were customers and outside
workmen who were ergnged in putting
the finishing touches on die new eighth
floor. More than half of the firm's em
ployes were on the upper five floors, and
it was unions these that the greatest
number were killed nnd injured. With
the possilde exception of the engineer,
who is missing, all persons on the first
three floors got out of the building
safely. The members of the firm hail
their offices on the third Hour nnd their
familiarity with the exits is all that
saved them from suffocation.
.Mr. Wilkinson said the smoke came up
the stairway and the elevator shaft iu
such great volume that he and Mr. Hunt
hail much dilliculty in reaching the
st tret.
.Most of those killed were at work on
the sixth floor, where w-oinen were en
gaged in sewing. They were nt work Iu
the rear of the building close lo the fire
escapes, but became confused by the
great quantity of smoke that rushed up
through the building. It was reported
that gm-ds were stored ngainst the win
dows which prevented the women from
getting out on the fire escapes, but this
wit positively denied by a member of
the firm.

the falls.
Tlie barrel plunged over nt 4:2." p. m.
It went over just a little west of the ecu.
ter of the Horseshoe and reappeared iu
the river helow within a minute. After
being dashed about for 17 minute it
was picked up in an eddy by n party of
men who removed the manhole and
found Mis. Taylor alive, hut greatly dis
tressed. Wood wns (lowing from n gnsh in her
head and she was suffering from shock.
A larger hole wns sawed In the top of
the barrel nnd she was taken out,
brought to the Maid of the Mist landing
and taken iu n carriage to her lodging

is somewhat recovered but it will be sev
eral days before she will be able to leave
her bed.
She is a widow nud has been teaching
