Boston. Feb. X. Itr thn flm In thn
dwelling house V9 and Ml North atreet
occupied mostly by Italians, yesterday
morning, it ia now known that ten per
anas worn burned to death, three others
fatally Injured and six more seriously It
not mortally hurt
There ! a diversity of accounta aa ta
tke eiroemstaaccs ot the origin of the
ffre, the alarm aad the rescue. It la
believed that tke fire started la tka
elothlnf store of Maurice Ruhey
oa tke ffrst floor and some minutes
before It was discovered It had
eaten through the partition wall of tho
hallway, which contained tho atalra
leading to tho tenement above. Tha
wooden stairway was llkoa tallow eandl
and tho flamea awept up It like a flash.
In dolus so It lighted un thn hallsviv
aad ahot llttlo gashes eut through tha
cracks of tho doors and soon attracted
attention, but In a moment It had takea
hold of tho stairway ascending from tho
same hallway and thus cut off all possi
ble passage to tho street for the occa
panta.
The scenes which occurred among tha
Inmates when they were awakened
wero of the most exciting description.
There was no way for them to get down,
snd as they ascended to tho attic the
flames followed swiftly upon them.
Shrieks ot terror, groans of agony and
orles for holp filled the air. Men, worn
en and children filled the windows
and earnestly pleaded for help. Soma
of the more venturesome even hung from
tho windows by only a slight hold oa
tho sills, Ladders wero hurriedly
hoisted, lines of hoso quickly rua off
and "pipe" from the chemical engine
was rushed Into the (taming mass.
In ten minutes tho fear of personal
aafoty had subsided, those whom It was
possible having been taken from their
positions of peril and the wounded to
places where their Injuries could be
cared for.
It was not until thn flrn hail hern
( practically extinguished that tho Into
. rior of what was then but a shell could
bo examined. Chief Webber, fol
lowed by seversi firemen, went
Into tho building at a llttlo after
unn fifMnttir ami iffh riininnii i
axeended to the upper floor. Tho stair
ways from tha street to thn second
floor were completely burned away.
When tho chief and his compaaleaa
renched tho upper floor, under one of the
wlndowa waa found a human form,
burned to a crisp almost the two palms
clasped together aad tho body kneeling
as though at prayer.
Further aearok showed In other parta
of tho ton floor seven other human
forms, covered with cinders and ashes,
naked, and disclosing limbs that had
been torn asunder by falling parts
of tho building. Seeing their escape
from tho flamea below to the
street Impossible, because tho stairs
were raging manses of lire, tho terrified
victims had evidently rushed to tho up
per floor In their attempts to escape and
had there boon roasted as though held
In a furnace. Later two IhhIIos of In
mates were found In other parts tit the
building and thn completed Hut of ten
human lives waa mado up. The Injured
were removed to hospitals and tho dead
bodies wero taken to tho morguo for
identification.
