climbed up the rear of the building and
burned fiercely on the roof. Six lines
of hose were laid by the fire department
and played from West Mitchell street
and from the alley at the rear of the
structure. Thirty minutes after the
alarm was turned in at 2:30 o'clock the
fire was under control.

During the progress of the fight to
control the flames the girl operatives
stood in the alley at the rear of the
burning building and urged the fire
men to save their personal belongings.
Two of the young women essayed to
ascend the fire escape when the flames
were under control to get their trin
kets. but were driven back by the fire
men.
Officials of the Warren Manufactur
ing Company said that their plant was
almost a total loss, fixing the damage
at $15,000. The loss to the Bishop-
Babcock-Becker Company was esti
mated at $2,500, and the loss to the
building at a like amount. The loss
was fully covered by insurance.
