The whole in- terior of the building, with its stairways, hoists, elevators, etc., had been carried down by the aw- ful crash, leaving only a little fringe of the (loor adjacent to the front windows. The scene was indescribable. Briive men cried like children, and women and girls fainted as the â- creams and cries of the helpless viftims reached their ears. The water tank, containing, it is said, about 30,000 gallons, or a weight of about 150 tons, was perched high above the centre of the roof at the rear of the build- ing. Apparently the weight of the tank was too much for the support- ing walls. At any rate, the tank crashed down without a second's warning, carrying the entire in- t< rior of the building with it. In- to this vortex were swept girls and men from every floor. Just how dred with the flames bursting from c\ery window. Tlie real miracle is that there were not scores burned to death. When the crash came the gas pipes v/ere all broken, and the burners under the linotype battery and stereotype department set the blaze going on every floor before the fire- men could get their apparatus to work. Owing to the amount of paper and combustible matter the building was wreathed in flames in .in incredibly short space of time. In addition to the roaring flames.
