How mary | persons the physicians treated Is not known now, Many rushed off with-/ out waiting for treatment. | ‘The Rev, Dr. A. H. Young, a retired, Presbyterian clergyman of Brooklyn, | who is sixty years old, was overcome! by smoke and burned. He was got! out of the building, but is dying in| the hospital. The irs and halls were made im- passable by flames when the tenants were aroused and practically every one who escaped was assisted down the fire escapes or ladders by firemen, policemen and attendants in the house. The flames rushed to the roof and mushroomed out there, trapping per- sons who otherwise might have reached the street and safety by means of the fire escapes. It is believed that the three women whose bodies were found were killed by this sudden downward rush of the flames. One of them, a negro woman, was found on the fourth floor. She attired in «a striped nightwown and wore a belt around her wi as though she had atarted to put on some clothes when the flames caught her. A second woman, Margaret Healy, was found on the south side of the top floor near a fire es- cape. She was partly dressed, and on the window ledge, close be- side which she had dropped, was a black hat with handsome black plumes and a black buckle. It) seemed though the woman had tried desperately to save this piece of finery. Both these women are believed to have been servants in the hou: They were found in the quarters usually occupied by servants. The third woman, whose clothes, if she had stopped to put any on, were burned completely from her, was found in the hallway of the second floor. Her left leg was crushed and her tonguo was caught and cut be- It is believed that she jumped from the third floor. A fireman who had made his way up an extension ladder to the third floor told Dr, MacKenzie afterwards that he had seen a woman in the room, She was hysterici nd was rushing wildly about. As he strove to throw a leg over the windowsill and enter the room the fireman called to her to run toward him, Already flames were eating down through the ceiling of the room, At sight of the fireman she screamed and then, in a frenzy of terror, ran, not toward him, but away from him. He got into the room at last, and as he ran across the floor toward her he saw the woman hurl herscif down the stairs to the second floor, A rush of flame and smoke cut off the stairway and the fireman was exhausted and almost overcome himself when he succeeded in mak- ing his way back to the ladder. He could not follow the woman to the second floor, The Aldine was one of the first high class apartment houses to be erected in Newark. It covered three plots in Broad street from No. 640 to No. 546 and was built of brick and stone, On the Broad street side three were the Art Exchango and Women’s Art Work Salesroom, the Model Laundry and the Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Company salesroom. The flames did not reach the stores, though the rest of the building was practically destroyed and amoke and water damaged the stores almost as much as the flames could. The dam- age could not be esti ed, but it will be high, practically all the beile gad Jost their complete posses- sions. << DETECTIVE’S REVOLVER HALTS ‘‘COIN FLIPPER’, Broadway Crowd Startled by Gun Play After Fight—Four Are Arrested, The sight of several well dressed young men in a battle royal halted trac and gathered an immense crowd at Thirty-firet street and | Broadway at 11 o'clock to-day.
