The explosion of a lamp in the rear apartment, occupied by Mrs.

Annie Martin, started the conflagration. Mrs. Martin was overcome by the smoke before she could give the alarm to any of the other inmates, but succeeded in making her way to Henderson street and there streamed for help. It was later discovered that she had received a number of severe burns, and she was removed to the Allegheny General Hospital.

Mrs. Jennie Boyd, a widow, tnd her five children; Mrs. Jennie Jones and Hugh Hutchinson were rescued with difficulty, being carried from the upper floor by the officers.
