PHILADELPHIA. October 25—A
fierce fire is raging In Market street
between 12th and 13th streets, and it
is feared heavy loss of life is Involved.
The fire started at 10:30 a. m. In the
hlne~story building occupied by Hunt,
Wilkinson 6‘: Company, furniture and
upholstery manufacturers. Although
the structure was fire proof. It was
filled from (town to roof with hi lily
inflammable aterial and in a ow
minutes flames were bursting from ev.
ery window. and it impossible for the
firemen to assist those in the burning
building. Hundreds of men and wo-
men were employed by the firm and
a great many were killed and injur-
ed. Up to 11 o‘clock, eleven bodies
have. been removed to the morgue and
it is certain that others were killed.
The homes spread o quickly that
nearly everybody w 0 could get out
was compelled to jump from the tire
escapes in the rear, which fronts on a
narrow street. When the firemen
blackish is}; hgyptbis street was fit
eially piled up with the bodies of peo-
ple who had jumped. Some were dead,
others were dying. Lying on the fire
escape at the fifth story in full view
of thousands of spectators was a body
roasted to a cinder and other objects
on the fire escape higher up were he-
lievcd to be bodies.
, The fire Is spreading eastward and
has crossed Murkef street, where sev-
eral big buildings are on fire. Wana—
makcr's immense store is only a few
hundred feet away and the clty hall
In close by. but the wind is blowing
from a direction that will save these
structures.
At about 11:30 o’clock the walls of
the Hunt. Wilkinson building fell. This
gave the firemen an opportunity to
work on the other building that ‘wore
ablaze and at 12 oclock the fire was
[relieved to be under control.E The
wholesale and retails rubber ware
house. of Lotta It Mulconroy. adjoin
ing Hunt. Wilkinson .9. Company s
building. In on fire. but the flames will
be confined to the upper stories.
Stories conflict as to the number of
persons killed. Hunt. Wilkinson &
Company employed 300 people. mostly
sirls. The fire is believed to have
started on the second floor of their
building. where titeen persons were at
weak. It is not known whether or
not these escaped. When the rear
wall of the building fell. a number of
bodies were lying in the small street
in the rear. variously estimated at
from six to thirty. and they Were cov-
ered with hundreds of tons of brick
and twisted iron.
Tire police say that twelve are
known to have been killed and they
hesitate to estimate how many bodies
are in the ruins.
Eye- witnesses say the flames spread
with remarkable rapidity. This. they
say. is due to flieTact that much mph
the. varnish. excelsior and other high
ly inflammable material was used by
the firm. Employees who started down
the fire escape in the rear of the build-
ing before the flames were visible
from the street. were compelled to
jump before they had travelled two
stories. because of the flames break-
ing through the windows. The first
firemen who arrived on the scene de-
voted their energies entirely to the
work of rescue. Nets were spread in
the front and rear of the building.
and some who jumped were saved in
this way.
A woman Jumped from one of the
windows of the Market street front.
but the smoke blinrled her and she
missed the net. striking the pavement
and dying instantly. In the rear. a
young girl who jumped from one of
the top stories caught in the fire es-
cape at tho middlestory and the flames.
bursting from the window. burned her
body to a crisp in almost a' minute.
.Two men. one‘whlte and one colored.
emerged from the fourth story and
stood on the fire escape with the
flames all around them. The'white
man stood on the fire escape until he
was overcome and then fell. to his
death in‘the small street. There was
no fire escape on the front of the build-
ing and all employees rushed madly to
the rear. .
