Five charred bodies were found on the upper floors of a burned tenement at 102 d street and Third avenue, known as the Mentor, and five women and a little girl, all badly burned, were carried from the blazing house to near-by hospitals. Several other persons only escaped from the flames and dense smoke with cuts and bruises.
