Before dying Fields exouorated his wife, saying she had sh o t in self-defense. W hen Mrs. Fields appeared a t th e coroner’s inquest h e r face w as m ashed al- m ost beyond recognition. f-v The English, Germans and French are a l l assiduously counting Mexico as a prom ising field of commercial enterprise an d English capitalists are hopeful of wresting control of it from this country. “Come dow n!’ yelled tb ? firemen. The m an m ade a feint of clam bering on to th e ladder, b u t he w as filled w ith fe a r or his stre n g th h a d left him . “Come down!” shrieked the crowd. The m an threw one leg over the sill, and, w ith each h and clasping th e fram e work, looked down a t th e crowd w ith sta rin g eyes. A tongue of flame in a heavy cloud o f thick smoke b u rst out. Tlio man would be b u rn t to death if he rem ained there much longer. A fireman ra n up th e ladder aud grasped bis leg. He pulled as h a rd as he could, but th e man hung back a n d th e fireman retreated slowly, urging th e m an to follow him. Suddenly tne m an threw his h ands in the a ir a ud leaped out. He fell on the sidewalk, and was smashed so badly t h a t he died in a few m inutes. He was Henry Beuning, a laborer employed in the factory.W ithin fifteen minutes a fte r th e fire started th e flames reached a lot of wooden fences and sh anties between th e fa cto ry and |the riv er a n d flashed across them to th e New Y ork C e n tra l pier a t the foot of th e street, known as Dock C. It was cram m ed with lard and oil a w aiting shipm ent and the flames sw ept i t fro m end to end w ith a rush. A t five o’clock th e flames had gained full sway in Rossiter’s warehouse, and all eyes were tu rn e d anxiously on th e big elevator. A t five m inutes past five a little w reath of smoke c u rle d up from the ap ex of t h e south- ernm ost gable, a n d from 10,000 th ro a ts went up the c r y : ‘ ‘She’s gi >ing?” A m om ent la te r a red glow appeared with- in the topm ost w ind-w beneath the gable end and it w as evident th a t to e elevator had caught fire in th e tim bers of the roof. No spark of flam e comm unicated with it, but i t simply becam e ignited u nder the h e a t of th e raging fu rn a c e a hundred fe e t away. Like wildfire th e flames c rep t along in th e tim bers behind t h e d ated walls, peeping out here and th ere a n d breaking forth fiercely a t the upper windows. For th re e h o u rs the firemen succeeded in keeping th e flam es from spreading further, b u t when the g r e a t walls of to e storage house fell and le ft a m ountain of b u rn in g ruins nearly a s high a s toe building had been, th e heat was so intense th a t g ra in elevator \A ,” of the New Y ork C entral Railroad, 200 feet north, w as so h eated th a t i t was impossible to keep i t from catching fire. T he building was 225x75 feet a n d 125 feet high. W hile E le v ato r A was wrapped in flames from e nd to end, Chief Shay looked anxiously a t E le v a to r B. n e a r by, a nd sadly exclaimed: I’ve done all I could do, b u t I'm a fra id she’ll have to go too.1” As th e words le ft his lips a huge blazing b rand w hirled th ro u g h th e a ir and fell on th e roof n ear a skylight. Elevator B blazed, if possible, more rapidly th a n its companion. W ithin six hours a fte r the fire broke o u t toe building in w hich i t started, a freig h t pier a t toe foot of F ifty-ninth street, and a sm aller storage pier, tw o great elevators, w ith th e contents of all of them, had been absolutely destroyed, involving a loss in money o f over $4,000,000, and at least one life w ra lost.
