Four Synagogues Trampled Death Toll in New York Tenement Fire
A fire during New Year services at No. 27 Inglow Street caused a stampede in four Hebrew congregations. Four women died and about a dozen people were injured as a crowded narrow staircase became impassable. The blaze, started by a candle, led to panic and mass trampling, with many injured and one stout woman blocking the exit near the foot of the stairs.
