The building was occupied by thirteen families who have been made temporarily homeless by the Are. The flames did not do very much damage iu the various apartments, but burned out their strength 'in the hallways. The pe cu-'iary loss will not amount to more than 110009. The fire originated in the rear of J h Snider’s restaurant, at an hour when all th * people in the house were sleeping s mndly. Just bow the fire startol is as yet a mystery, but ns the restaurant cook is" missing it is pre sumed that the accident occurred while he was making a Are in the big range. The awful speed with whichtho flames swept up through the building suggest the use of kerosene by the cook. The door leading from the kitchen to tho hallway was found open, and a great volume of fire rolled out into the passage, ami swept up the stair ways so rapidly that the famili es living on tee first floor must inevitably have perished without even so much as a warning, but it bo happened that the rooms directly over the restaurant ore unoccupied on account of the heat, v ich seems to sift through the flooring from the range underneath. DISCOVERED BY TWO POLICEMEN. Less than half a block away, on the corner of Thirty-eighth street and the avenue, stood Policemen Warner and McCullough of the Thirtieth station. They received warning from a cry of pain which c .me from the building, and looking in the direction from which it came, saw a wall of lire beating against the front windows of the resraura ,t.' By the time that they realised what the trouble was, a forked tongue of flame shot out from the roof and lighted no the neighborhood. With their clubs the two i fticers boat in the front c -or. but the spiteful b’aze shot out and drove them back. They tried the next door, and iu th ;t way found an entrance. WARNING THE INMATES. There were signs of life in the building, aud the officers hurried from one room to another, rapping on the doors with their clubs and calling to the inmates to fly for then ii\es. Muniiuriugsat first were heard, the i the I UZZ of many voices which finally changed into a wail of terror and ago y from the women and children struggling for their lives in the death trap. The fire escapes leading from the burning building totue as yet untouched buildings next door were speedily filled up with half naked people. in the meantime alarms had teen sent out, and the fi re department i„t" work ,JU tbe flames, and assist ing the frigntened (inmates.
