Eighteen Drowned Terrified by Flames in Nearby Building -Explosion in Pottery Factory Startled People in Surrounding Colony. Wheeling, W. Va., March 17.-Eigh- •teen persons are known to have lost their lives as the result of a fire which broke out early yesterday morning- in the plant of the Warwick Pottery CAI- pany. The factory was situated in the flooded district, and woe surrounded by a, colony of Syrians. Shortly after 1 o'clock an explosion °mined. in the Pottery building, and was followed im- mediately by fire, which etiveloped the entire plant and threatened the ad- joining property. Startled, by the ex- plosion and terrified by the flames, the frenzied foreigners crowded to ,the win- dows of their homes, and helped by dozens into the water, which was flow- ing with a deep, swift current through the street. Had. they remained. in thew homes all would have been safe, as none of the houses inhabited by them were 'reached by the fire. Alarm after alarm was sent In by persons who saw the Dames from a tance, but the surrounding water made it impossible for the fire apparatus to be brought to the scene. The firemen. pressed into service all the boats they could secure and by this means carried their hose to the burning building. They did heroic work, end, net •only fought the fire, but, assisted in resetting many of the people who had east themselves into the flooded street. - The crew of a boat that was moored across the river from the pottery works lent their aid; and alleoeeded in reseuing over a hun- dred in their yawl. While the flames continued the screams of the frighten- ed Syrians could be heard '5 ,mile north of the scene of the disaster, where thou- tete& of people unable to render any as- sistance, gathered on the steel bridge to wet& the flames. The work of recovering the bodies of the drowned has been going on all day, but the current is very swift, a.nd the impression is that more bodies will be Mid 'when the flood subsides. With e exception of Viatehman Holmes, ,or the pottery works, ell the. victims were Syrians, most of them children. Five were drowned, by the capsizing of boat which was earrying them to a place of safety. There is seem 41 family in the whole Syrien eolony but has lost tt erteinber.
