      Three Families Asleep in a Burning Building - All Excaped.
      Yesterday was one of the great Jewish holidays, when it is customary among members of this faith to leave a lamp or candle burning during the night., and this custom was the cause of a fire which nearly cost several human beings their lives in the tenement house at 10 Wall street early this morning. The house is owned by Max Schwartz, and he occupies the two lower floors with his family, while the third floor is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein and several children, and the fourth by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stone and three children. The Stones had left a lamp burning in the front room of their suite, and were asleep in the rear room. They awoke to find the whole front of their apartment in flames. With great difficulty they managed to make their escape from the burning rooms, and calling the other occupants, all fled to the street, practically in their night clothes. An alarm had been turned in form box 414 at 1:50 o'clock, and when the firemen arrived the entire upper part of the house was in flames. The firemen made quick work of the blaze, but before the fire was out the lower portion of the house was badly wet down. The frightened occupants of the house were taken into neighboring houses, and intense excitement prevailed for a short time, it being reported in the crowd that several people had been burned to death. The total loss on the building and contents will probably not exceed $500 or $600.
