Msoy emp! yes uf the Partridge Company Were at work at the time and the other flores of the buuding were sprinkled with human beings. The usual avenues of escape Were at once cut off, and the panic stricken inmates fled to the windows and roof, Some @scsped by shinning down telegraph poles, others by leaping into blankets and nets, Several jumped to the pavement fom aix to eight-story windows, and were terribly mangied. Others—how many it now be told—fell back into the cwldron of flames or were cvercome by the dense black smoke which suff cated all who did not speedily escapes. The princi pal buildings burned were: Ames building (teven storia), on the corner of Essex and Lanecoln Lincoin building (five Stories) oo» the Opposite coruer, occupied by the 3 nger Manufacturing Company and a large number of other cvncern’; the Lud- low og (9x stories); the Brown- Dure!! vuiding (seven stories), corner of Essex avd Kingston Stree's.
