Other Tenants in Fashionable Apartment Get Ready for Flight—$5,000 Loss. ‘Wealthy families occupying one of | the most fashionable apartment houses in New York, Noa. 10 to 14 East Eighty- eoventh street, were roused from their bede this morning at 8 o'clock by an alarm of fire, Instead of rushing out im @ panic, they donned their clothing and gathered in doorways and halls, ‘with valuables hestily gathered, ready for flight if necessary. Meanwhile Paul A. Sorg, millionaire, and one of the heads of the American Tobacco Company, was fighting a fire in hie apartment with @ house hose, Mr. Borg kept th. blaze to the dining room and foyer until the firemen came. ‘The Highty-seventh street apartment register contains many well-known names ami palatial residences of mill- fonaires surround it. Adjoining is the residence of Bredley Martin and across the street lives Henry Phipps. Others whose names are analogous with money ere neighbors, The house itself was Put up one year ago as the last word in fireproof building and luxuriousness. Mr. Surg occupies @ sixteen-room apartment on the top floor with his wife and eight servants, The rooms are lav- ishly furnished and contain art obeots and hengings valued at thousands of @ollare.

Mrs. Sorg’s cries were heard by Timothy Hanly, an ele- vator boy, who seized a fire hose in the hall and tried to enter the dining-room. The fire drove him back and he turned hls attention to rousing the other ten- ants and assuring them there was no immediate danger. When Manly dropped the hose and fled Mr. Sorg promptly selzed !t and fought the flames through the doorway ia an effort to confine them to the din- ing-room. In the meantime an atarm had been turned in and when che firemen ar- rived they found the blaze had reached the foyer of the Sorg apartment. Mr. Sorg was stil] at his p-st and was being assisted by his servants. The fire was soon extinguished. The loss ‘was guessed at $5,000, | On March 9, 1911, while the building was being put up, a section of concrete om the top floor gave way and plunged to the basement carrying sections from every floor with it. Several workmen were buried by the debris and three or four seriously mjured, pena RAT IS AN ANIMAL, JUDGE DECIDES; FINES TRAPPER.
