-\ ing Brooklyn Residence and } Helped Them to Reach the t Street Safely. HYDRANT WATER FROZEN. & Qirl Servants Were Helped Across Roofe to Another House by the Firemen, Where They Descended In Gafety to the Street. ey ‘Water frozen in the hydrants delayed the firemen in Brooklyn early to-day (@ptil the home of John M. Taylor, at fo. 1 Munroe place, waa a hopeless face of flames and was almost entirely ‘@estroyed at a loss of $20,000. Mr. and (Mrs. Taylor, their two daughters and ‘the two servants, Rose Burke and Bes- @e Duricin, were rescued from the upper floors of the four-story brown-stone @tructure with diMculty. » John Wingate and Julius Scott, who ive at No. 27 Monroe place, were re- jfarning home about 3 o'clock and saw ‘gmoke coming from the basement of the lor home. They rang the bell and : on the door to awaken the Members of the household. ‘Taylor came to the third story win- @ow and called out that the house was 80 filled with smoke that it was tm- hle to get through the halls either © escape from the house or to reach telephone and call the Fire Depart- it. BSeott went on foot to Engine Company No. 105, in Pierpont street, and gave a still alarm. ‘Wingate, in the meantime, told Taylor to wrap a wet towel around his head ‘and open the front door. After some GiMficulty he succeeded in doing this @nd Wingate fought his way through the smoke to where Mrs. Taylor and hher two grown daughters were clinging te each other, only scantily dressed and je-stricken with fear, young man ran into the bath- feom and, soaking a number of towels @nd some blankets in water, wrapped the women jn them and helped them down the stairs, They were hurried through the icy air into the home of Joseph Meade, at No. 8 Monroe place. The two servant girls had been awak- ‘fed by the smoke and the nolse and find fied to the roof in their night cloth- ipg, but wrapped in warm blankets from their beds. Firemen helped them Y ‘to the roof of another house and they descended to safety The firemen in the n time had met with a serious obstacle in fighting the fire. The water in the hydrants had all froaen solidly and spectators sald ft was half an hour after the depart- ment reached the scene before the first ptream was thrown onto the fire. Even ‘then ice clogged the stream and the ‘extreme cold handicapped the firemen. ‘While the firemen would not admit that _ felt an hour had elapsed before the ants were thawed out, they sald e trouble had prevented them from wing the building. © flames spread rapidly from the ment to the upper floors of the “BBilding, and shortly after the firemen lafcived it was found that the home of Mr. Meade was also on fire. The ;Meades as well as the Taylors, who had token refuge there were forced to feave the house and go to the home of \ “Mrs. Hewlett, at No. 27 Monroe place. ‘It was an hour after the department ally got thelr apparatus in working bese before the flames iu the Meade jouse were pit out and the Taytor «Mouse had been destroyed.
