The property loss was $15,000. There were 250 lodgers In the building vlien the flrc started and so rapidly did the lames spread that many were uuuble to es cape. At first It was rumored that the l 78 of life- vas much greater , but after searching the ruins very carefully the police and firemen discovered eleven charred bodies. No. 103 Bowery la one of the best known odglng houses on that thoroughfare. It Is called the Bowery Mission house and Is con ducted by the Christian Herald. In the msemcnt of the building there la a cheap rcataurant , while the ground floor Is used exclusively for tulsska purposes , gospel services having been , held there dally for sev eral years. The-four upper floors were fitted up as a cheap lodging house with accommo dations for ICO males , who paid 15 , 20 or 25 cents each , according to the location of the rooms. Last night almost every bed wa > i taluu. INMATES ARE AROUSED. At 1:30 : this morning one of the lodgers discovered Homes coming from a wash room cci the third floor , but before he had tlmo to rouse the lodgers the tire was noticed on ho street. By this time the flames were bursting through the roof , when no alarm was given and the Inmates aroused. Many of the lodgers became panic stricken. They ni'ihed ' Into the hallways and fell over each other ! u their efforts to reach the stccet. Those on the lower floors got to the street safely by the stairways , \\hllo those on the upper floors groped their way through the blinding smoke to the mteal fire escape ci front of the building. The majority of them only saved portions of their clothing , while several ot them were naked. Those who made their way to the street by the fire escapes were superficially burned by the heat of the ladders , which In many cases had become redhot. In a few minutes the flremcn were busy deluging the building with torrents of water. They finally succeeded In keeping the fire within the limits of the three upper stories. A largo detail of police was quickly summoned to the scene In charge of Inspector specter Cross , and the reserves were called trom the downtown precincts. This force of officers had difficult work to keep the vast crowd In check , as well as to help the un fortunate lodgers. Many naked and Injured were cared for by people In the vicinity and about fifty of them 'were accommodated at tho' Eldrldge police statlonsome , three blocks away. Sev eral , of the most destitute were Brought to the station house In patrol wagons and on their arrival they were partially clothed by members ot the force and kind-hearted neigh bors. bors.After the flro had been extinguished suf ficiently that a search was possible the po lice and flremcn entered the fculldlng and the work of searching for the victims was begun. Several bodies were found near the windows on the two upper floors , whore they had been stricken down In attempting to make their way to the fire escapes. ALL ARE NAKED. So many bodies were found "In the early stages of the search that It was thought over forty must have been killed. However - over , the officers fortunately overestimated the loss of life and eleven bodies in all were found. Some of these were discovered In the small rooms they had occupied , while others were foundIn the hallways and on the stairs of the fourth and fifth floors. All of them wcirt naked and most of them wera burned and charred beyorid recognition. It Is thought by the police that only ono of these bodies will eventually bo Identified. This ono Is designated as No. 10. It was found tn a room on the fifth floor. In the tame room there was a satchel end It Is thought Its contents may lead to tbo Identi fication of tbo body. As soon as the bodies were carried to the street they were transferred to the police Elation and by 4:30 : this morning the police relinquished their search. Coroner Zukka , after looking at the bodies at the station , gave a permit for their re moval. Manager Sardonsen of the Christian Her ald , who has direct charge of the mission and the lodging house , called at tbo Eld- rldgo station later and told the officer In charge that he' would bury the dead. The loss on the building Is placed at $7.000 and the contents damaged $5.000 ; loss entirely covered by Insurance. The building , which bolonga to the Chester estate , Is leaeeil by the Bowery mission. John N. , Wyburn , superintendent of the Bowery tnlrslon. under whoso direction the lodging bouse was conducted , said today. "When I arrived at the ccno the firemen had It under control , and thu policemen were removing the dead bodies. I started at once to ascertain the cause and the exact place where the flro iitartcd. 1 found to my satisfaction tbat It originated In the lava tory on the third floor , and probably wan caused by a lighted cigarette thrown care lessly among a lot papers. "It Is strictly against the rules ot the house to smoke In the building. But It Is kaown to bo the habit ot many of the lodgers to do so , aud on account ot this the nl ht clerk Is supposed to Inspect the lavatory over/ hour , aud ho made an liwpcctloa shortly before the flre was discovered. "There were 1C5 names on the hotel regis ter last night. Two-thirds of them were sleeping on the third anj fifth floors. Nlau of the bodies were found In their beds , and It Is suppojcd the men never woke from their sleep. " SHOOTS HIS WIKK AMI IIIMSKM' . Snn PrnnrlNrn llrnkrr Cnminltn n Dnnlili * Crimp. SAN FRANCISCO. IMarch 13. About 5 o'clock this evening Andrew Schullcr , n financial broker , fatally shot his wife and then committed suicide at his ofilco , 420 Cal ifornia street.
