Shortly after 2:30 this morning fire
broke out in a pile of old papers in the
bas.e.m.e.nt of the Harmony Flat building,
at 1356 Congress avenue, a four-story
eight-apartment structure. Two firemen
were killed by a falling wall.
The fire had a good start before the
janitor, Michael Jones, who sleeps in the
bas.e.m.e.nt, awoke. He turned in an alarm
and ran through the halls awakening the
occupants. The people on the two lower
floors escaped in their night clothing by
the stairways, but the fire spread very rap-
idly, the occupants of the upper floors be-
ing forced to flee down the fire escapes in
the rear.
When the firemen put in an appearance,
Mrs. Jeanette Huyler appeared at a third
story window and called for help. An ex-
tension ladder being hoisted, she was res-
cued without difficulty. During the fire
the wall on the east side fell and killed
Fireman John Casey and Jacob Hughes;
Fireman Williams Jacobs was. .h.i.t on the
head by a brick and seriously injured.
The fire was extinguished before it
spread to an adjoining three-story flat
building on the west.
The firemen in searching the ruins
found the body of a man who was later
identified as Rupert Smithers; he was 70
and occupied a lower flat by himself. The
janitor said that he was deaf and prob-
ably did not hear the warning. The three
dead and injured firemen belong to Hose
Co. No. 24.
Loss $50,000, fully insured.
