T HE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1910 WOMAN AND CHILD JUST MISS DEATH IN FIREBUG BLAZE Mrs. William Fuhrer Carries Baby Down a Burning Stair- way in Elmhurst. HUSBAND SAVES GIRLS. | Owner of Burned Building Be- | fieves the Fire Was Started for Revenge. The wife of William Fuhrer and his Youngest child had a thrilling escap: early to-day from death in a@ fire that destroyed Fuhrer Park, a ‘hotel, dance hall end picnic pavilion in Elmhurst, 1, 1. The Fuhrers, thetr two daugh- tere, five sons and eight employees were @l asleep when the fire stated, All wot out safely except Benjamin Lent. an employee, who is missing, and Is be- Heved to have been burned to death. The fire ts believed to have deen set dy revengeful enemies of Mr. Fuhrer, mem- bers of a tough east side club. When Fuhrer woke he ran out into the ‘hall and found that tt was filled with smoke. Pufts of flame were com- ing up from the lower floor, though the stairway itself was not burning. Rescues Two Girl He ran back into the room, followed by one of his bartenders who had met him in the hall, He took his two little siris in this arms, told the man and Mrs, Fuhrer to drop the other children down to htm after he had jumped. Then he leaped from the window, two stories above the ground. He landed on iis feet and sprained one aniie, but the Iit- | tle girls kept their arms around his neck and were not even jarred, Mrs. Fuhrer and the bartender | dropped one of the boys down to him, | ‘The fire was roaring and he believed | that it would sweep into the bedrooin in another minute, | “$ake Fritz and the baby in your arms and jump,” he called to his w! “Jump the way I did. I'll catch you so that you wont get hurt.” Mrs. Fuhrer did not dare to jump, even if she had climbed on the window sill, Before the bartender could stop her she. got back into the room. With the baby in one arm and dragging an- other child by the arm, she ran out into the hall and started screaming down the stairs, which were now burn- ing. The man made a vain effort to follow her but lost his way in the smoke which poured into the room after she opened the door. He ran to the window and jumped out on Fuhrer. Clung to the Baby, When he heard what his wife had done Fuhrer ran around the house to the door, He was met there by his wae ter skirt burning and the oaby her arms. She was sup- ported by the watchman and another employee who had ran up the stairway to meet her when they heard her sereaming. She had given up little Vritz to them but would not give up ne baby. Alarms had been sent to Corona and \storia for fire engines. The Astoria engine got bogged in a characteristic Queens street slough and did not reach ne fire. The Corona engines could do {litle more than cool off the ruins. The resort, which was one of the biggest in Queens and Included car- rousels and a scenic railway, was burned to the ground. Fuhrer estimates his loss at $50,000, For Revenge, He Says. He informed the police that recently an east side soclal club which had a party at the park last year tried to en- gage it again. He told them he®would have nothing to do with them as they had destroyed a jot of his crockery and glassware and had made a scandal by their fighting and bad language. His was @ family resort and such conduct spoiled his steady business which was | the entertainment of respectable women | and thelr children. | Aggregate Weekly Deposits in jover the pag School Savings Banks Teach Children Thrift as a Practical Suey One School Alone Are $125, and Founder Thiry Says the} Inculcation ot Industry and} Economy Is ProvingIts Value.
