6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIL, MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1898. HEMMED [N BY WALLS OF FIRE Eleven Lives Lost in the New York Tene- ment Blaze. Occupants of Upper Floors Un- able to Escape to the Street. Scores of Those Who Reached the Did Not Save Even Their Clothing. Exits Specfal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 13.—A thorough search of the premises at 1056 Bowery, which were partially destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning, dis- closed the fact that eleven persons were burned to death. At first it was rumored that the loss of life was much greater, but after rching the ruins | carefully, the police and firemen dis- covered eleven charred bodies and re- moved them to the Morgue. No. 105 Bowery is one of the best- known lodging-houses on that thor- oughfare. It is called the Bowery Mis- sion Lodging-house, and it is conducted by the Christian Herald. ment of the building there is a cheap restaurant, while the ground floor is sively for mission purposes, gospel services having been held there daily for several years. The four up- per floors were fitted as a cheap lodg- ing-house with accommodations for 150 males, who paid 10, 15 or 25 cents each, according to the location of the rooms. Last night almost every bed was oc- cupled. At 1:30 o'clock this morning one of the lodgers coming from a washroom on the third floor, but re he had time to alarm the house ure was noticed by pass- ersby on the street. By this time the flames had eaten their way to the top of the building and were bursting through the roof. When the alarm was given and the inmates aroused, wild | scenes of excitement ensued. Many of | the lodgers became panic-stricken. They rushed into the hall and fell over in their efforts to reach the | T e on the lower floors the streets by the s, while those on the upper floors | groped their way through the blinding | smoke to the fire escape in front of the | building. A majority of them saved | tions of their clothing only, while eral of them were naked. Those se who made their way to the street by the fire escape were superficially burn- ed the excessive heat of the iron | which in many places had be- | by lers, » redhot from the In the meantime, three alarms of fire had been sent in, and in a few minutes the firemen were busy deluging the building with torrents of water. They finally succeeded in keeping the fire | ithin the limits of the three upper of the structure. A large detail s quickly summoned to the scene, in charge of Inspector Cross, and rve: the T were called from the down- town p incts. This force of officers had difficult work to keep the vast crowd in check, as well as to help the unfortunate lodgers. Many naked and injured were cared for by people in the vicinity, and about fifty of them were accommodated at the Eidridge police station, some three blocks away. Sev- eral of the most destitute were brought to the station house in patrol wagons, and on their arrival they were partially | clothed by members of the fire depart- ment and kind-hearted neighbors. After the fire had been extinguished suffic pos ching for the victims was begun. >veral bodies were found mnear the indows of the two upper floors, where they had been stricken down while at- tempting to make their way to the fire escape. So many bodies were found in the early stages of the search that it | was estimated that over forty persons | must have been killed. , However, the officers, fortunately, overestimated the loss of life, and eleven in all were found. Some of these were discovered in the small rooms they had occupied. while others were found in the hallways and on the stairs of the fourth and fifth floors. All of them were nude, and most of them were burned and charred beyond recognition. It is thought by the police that only one of these bodies will be eventually identified. This one is designated as No. 10. It was found in a room on the fifth flocr. In the same room there was a satchel, and it is thought that its contents may lead to the identification of the body. As soon as the bodies were carried to the street they were transferred to the police station, and by 4:30 this morn- ing the police relinquished their search. Coroner Zuka, after looking at the bod- | ies at the station, gave a permit for their removal to the hospital. Mana- ger Sardensen of the Christian Herald, who has been in charge of the mission and lodging house, called at the Eld- ridge station later, and told the officer in charge that he would bury the dead. The loss on the building by fire is about $7000, and the contents are dam- aged to the extent of $5000.° The loss is covered by insurance. The building, which belongs to the Chester estate, is leased by the Bowery Mission. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Special Train Run by the Com- pany to Carry Mourn- ing Friends. | Officials of the Road Attend to Pay Their Last Respects to the Dead. Special Dispatch to The Call. BELMONT, March 13.—An honor rare in the annals of Pacific Coast rall- | roading was to-day paid by the South- ern Pacific Company to the memory of Samuel B. Doane, who died of pneu- monia on Thursday last. The company provided a special train, comprising a baggage-car, funeral-car and three first-class coaches, and placed it at the disposal of the widow and friends of the deceased. Although Mr.Doane held a responsible position in the office of the freight auditor, yet his rank was merely that of a clerk: It was an unique attest of the integrity and abil- ity with which he had served the com- pany for twenty years and a memora- ble mark of appreciation that the special train should have been supplied. The arrangements for the funeral were under the direction of the immediate superior of the deceased, C. J. Wilder, who was evidently greatly grieved over the loss of an old and valued friend and employe. The train left Third and Townsend street station for San Carlos at 10 a.m., stopping en route at Valencia street, | San Mateo and Belmont. Then it ran back to Cypress Lawn Cemetery, and | after the ceremonies conveyed the | mourners to their home in San Carlos, | whence it returned to the city. That Mr. Doane’s popularity was great was | borne out by the fact that the long train was crowded to its fullest capac- ity. The home of the deceased was | filled to overflowing, and many tears of sympathy for the bereaved widow were shed. Among the attendants were: L. Fill- more, manager of the Southern Pacific Company; N. J. Foster, his assistant, and Albert Worthington, his secretary. H. E. Huntington was represented by his secretary, Bert Worthington. Harry Bull, chief clerk of motive power and machinery, came down from Sacramen- to to be pall-bearer, bringing with him many of Mr. Doane’s former fellow clerks. C. J. Wilder, freight auditor; | N. T. Smith, treasurer, and other offi- clals of the company were present. Nearly all the clerks of Mr. Wilder's office attended to show their respect for a faithful fellow worker and a Christian gentleman. The floral offerings were numerous and costly. The services were simple and were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Van Avery. A quartet rendered Nearer, My God, to Thee,” at the spe- | cial request of Mrs. Doane, besides | other selections. The body was tempo- | rarily deposited in the mortuary at | Cypress Lawn, to be incinerated later. TAKES LIFE I SELFDEFENSE Bartender Kills a Drunken Man Who Assaults Him. i His Victim, Harry F.

Without doubt there is much going on in the world which is both criminal and ungodlike, but where a nation fears God and at the same time has respect for religious teachings it will in the course of time bring about that state of affairs by which the world will be populated with religious followers and law respecters.” ABDUCTED IN BROAD DAY The Police Searching for | a Pretty Chinese Girl. Kidnaped by Two Highbinders | and a Well - Dressed White Man. ent of a Hack-Driver Who the Drove Them to Depot. The whereabouts of the Chinese girl | who was kidnaped Saturday afternoon still puzzles the police. Last night a | hackdriver named Charles Wingus vis- ited police headquarters and made the following statement: “] was driving along Market street Saturday afternoon about 5 o’clock, and when near Eighth street I was ac- costed by a well dressed young man, | who asked me if I wanted to make a few dollars. I replied in the affirma- tive, whereupon he told me to wait a few minutes. He returned in a short time, accompanied by a pretty Chinese girl and two Chinese. The girl was heavily veiled, and as she hesitated about entering the hack I heard the white man say to one of her escorts, ‘Break her face; do anything to keep | her quiet.” “She was then forced into the hack and the white man and his Chinese companions immediately followed her. The white man then instructed me to | drive to Valencia and Twenty-fifth streets, as he was anxious to catch the 5:30 o’clock train to San Jose. After ar- riving at the depot I was given my fare and told to keep my mouth shut.” In explanation of the remark, the white escort of the party sald he was a deputy sheriff from San Jose, and that the Chinese were his prisoners. He did not want the authorities of this city to know that he had stolen a march on them, and for that reason he asked Wingus not to “open his mouth” about the capture. The hack-driver further stated that the party left the carriage without pur- chasing tickets. The woman was close- 1y guarded by her captors, who seemed to have absolute control over her. Aft- | er leaving the hack she was hustled into the train just as it was about to pull out. ‘Wingus describes the young man as being about 24 years of age, smooth shaven and rather fashionably dressed. The Chinamen were stout, and would have passed for prosperous merchants. Their captive, he says, was young and pretty. Immediately after obtaining Wingus' statement Chief Lees wired the San Jose police to be on the lookout for the woman and her abductors. Recently at least a half-dozen Chinese women have been kidnaped and sent out of the city. The Chinese Consul admits that a number of highbinders have associ- ated themselves together for the pur- pose of abducting young women, and he has offered a large reward for their arrest and conviction. | Shattered Blue Rock Pigeons.

I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle of Lydia E.

The bell rang again, but she kept quiet and then she saw the man pull something out of his pocket and try to force the door open. Belleving that the man was a burglar she went to her room and got a revolver. Returning to the parlor she rang up the telephone and notified the Central Police Station that burglars were trying to break into her house. The burglar was evidently scared by the noise and jumped from the porch to the front garden and crouched down beside the front steps, where the marks of his feet can be plain- ly_seen.’ Mrs. Silverstone kept on guard with the revolver in her hand and in a few min- utes the patrol wagon from the Central Station came dashing up to the door. The burglar had a_confederate in the front rden of the house next door, and M ilverstone saw him throw a piece of paper to the other one, which was evis dently a signal for him to get out as the patrol wagon was coming. When the patrol wagon arrived the burglars had, of course, made their escape. Mrs. Sils verstone is satisfied -that the burglarg - knew that the other members of the f&a ily had gone; in fact, she is sure th: they thought the house was deserted. She was in the rear, where the light from her room could not be seen from the street. “If the burglar had made his way into the house,” said Mrs. Silverstone, yester- day, “I most certainly would have shot him. I am not at all scared of firearms, and as soon as I felt sure that the man was a burglar I got the revolver and waited for him. I was quite cool and did not make any noise beyond calling up the police station. The nurse girl happened to come home before the patrol wagon arrived and she saw the man crouched beside the steps. She told me when she came in and 1 warned her not to make a noise as the patrol wagon was coming. ““If the patrol wagon had stopped at the corner of the street instead of driving up to the door I am sure the policemen would have captured the burglars, and I éhlgk it was a stupid thing for them to 0. Several burglaries on Post street. in the rear of Mrs. Silverstone's residence have occurrred recently, but so far no arrests have been made. Gossip of the Valley Road. Work is steadily progressing on the Valley Road and the tracks have been laid over nearly the entire 235 miles from Stockton to Bakersfield, only about ten miles at the latter end remaining uncom- pleted. It s expected that the laborers will have reached Kern River at the ex- piration of next week and the preliminary work on the bridge to span that stream has already commenced with the driving of plles for the foundation. It will take from four to six weeks to complete the structure, which is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $20,000. There will be four spans to the bridge of seventy- five feet each, with long _trestle ap- proaches from either end. The ers on the road are now working inside the town limits of Bakersfield, and when fin- ished at that place they will be put to work between Visalia and the present line. The surveys from Stockton to San Francisco have not yet been entirely com- pleted, but it has been definitely deter- mined to cross the tules from Stockton west. The line of road has been finally decided on and the final surveys to the west of the tules and Pacheco Landing and to the east of Martinez have been completed. The bonds for the Franklin tunnel work have not been completed as yet as they had to be sent East for the signatures of some of the members of the contracting firm and have not yet been returned. 8 8 Ed Ed E] 8 & 8 8 8 8 8 £ I E 3 £ Ed bl E 8 8 8 8 I3 k3 b 8 * 8 Ed ks 8 b 8 8 8 b k3 8 e 8 8 e £ 8 E 8 3 s 8 8 8 8 8 bl 8 £ 8 8 8 b £ ADVERTISEMENTS. 888338!38388885888388838888398382!282828‘3898888888882888882888883&% GRAND OPENING.

I have always been blessed with a keen appetite and have, perhaps, in- dulged too heartily at times and suffered accordingly. Last winter while traveling through an adjoining county I first . learned of Ripans Tabules, and was induced by a friend to try them. They have done me a great deal of good, and I think that I have fair promise of a permanent cure. If I would be S—
