YORK FIDE HORROR
ne Hundred and Fifty Workers
a Factory Conflagration.
A, despatch from New York, says:
One hundred and fifty persons--
eineteen of them Jews and Italian
girls ---were crushed to death on the
pavements or smothered in the
smoke in a factory fire on Saturday
afternoon ie the worst disaster New
York has'known since the steamship
General Slocum was burned to the
water's edge off the North Brother
Island in 1904. Mothers, fathers
and other relatives, literally mad
with grief, stormed the police lines
at the Morgue all Saturday night
and Sunday shrieking, sobbing, and
in some cases fighting with the offi-
cers in their freeze,
Nearly all, if not all, the viente
were employed by the Triangle
Waist Company on the eighth,
ninth and tenth, floors of a ten -
story lofty building at 23 Washing-
ton place, on the western fringe of
the downtown wholesale clothing,
fur, and millinery district. The
partners of the firm, Isaac Harris
and Max I3lanek, escaped unscent-
ed from the office on the tenth
floor, carrying with them over an
adjoining roof.Blanck'stwo young
daughters and a 'governess, How
the fire started will perhaps never
be known.' A coiner on the eighth
floor was its point of origin, and
the three upper floors only were
swept. On the xiintlt floor fifty
bodies were found, Slaty -three or
mare were erushed to death by
jumping, and' .more than thirty
elogged the elevator' shafts.
The loss to property will not ex -
Bead $641,040. Wayvarers on the ops
polite side of the street shaded their
eyes against the setting rain and
saw the windows of the three upper
floors of the building black with
girls crowding to the sills, Thc,
curly fire; escape was ina small court
yard of the building, "Don't jump;
don't jump:- yelled the crowd. But
the girls had ne choice. The pres-
sure from maddened humireds be-
hind and the urging of their own
fears were too strong. Four alarms'
were rung in within fifteen minutes.
Before the engines could respond,
before the nets could be stretched
or the ladders raised five girls had
fallen from the eighth and ninth
floors so heavily that they broke
through the glass and iron roofs of
the sub -cellars and crashed through
the •very streets into the vaults be-
low. .In an hour the fire was out.
In half an hour it had done its
work. Probably the death 1iet wee
full in twenty minutes. Seven bun-
dred hands, five hundred of them
women, were employed by the
shirtwaist company•
WESTER BKVK WAS ROBBED
Safe Was Rifled and There is No Clue Yet
to the Perpetrators
A despatch from Prince Albert,
Sask., says: Northern Saskatche-
wan has a bank robbery mystery on
its hands. Tile branch of the Bank
of Ottawa, at Kinistino, about 95
miles from Prince Albert, has miss-
ed nearlyx$6,000 from the safe and
there is absolutely no, clue to the
identity of the robber. The feat
was perpetrated some time between
one o'clock on Saturday afternoon
and 8 o'clock the following Mon-
day morning. The officials of the
bank evidently, have a suspicion,
but they refuse to make any state-
ment.' The circumstances 'sur-
rounding the case are most mysteri-
ous, and the robber was evidently
familiar with the bank premises,
and had working knowledge of the
safe and the time lock. Saturday
afternoon the manager of the bank
closed the safe after placing in it
the money and documents. The
time lock was then set to open at
8 o'clock Monday morning. Mr.
Wood came to Prince Albert 1»
spend Sunday. On Monday morn-
ing he received a wire from the _p
bank saying it was impossible to
open the safe. It was thought that
it was the fault of the time lock and
the controllers of the device in
New York were wired to for advice
as to. the . action to be taken. The
company wired back several .spg-
gestions, which, when acted upon,
finally opened the safe. It was then
found that it had been rifled and
currency and gold to the amount of
almost 56,000 taken.
