The rapidly sucoeeding fires, the orowds of evicted tenants and the torrifylng rumors spread through the borhood, with the constant ap- pearance and reappearance of the fire engines and the big squads of police, jeaised the people throughout the vicin- ity to a high pitch of excitement, which did not lessen until daylight brought a measure of assurance that the incendiarism was stopped for awhile. Excitement in Nearby Hotels, The excitement spread even to Broadway and in the Marie Antoinette, Ansonla, Empire and other big hotels in the neighborhood of Lincoln square the guests were aroused by the com- motion.

All the houses where the fires oc- curred were flat houses. Three of them were occupied by whites and two by negroes. Most of the tenants were in bed when the fires broke out and escaped to the streets in the scantiest clothing, All of the fires were attended by many narrow escapes and the police and firemen are responsible for the saving of scores of lives. The fifth and worst fire of the lot was discov- fered at 110 West Sixty-first street at 8 a. m., while the street was still \thfonged with frightened and excited ple.

Philadelphia, Nov, 10.—Frederick Bchaffhauser, a civil engineer in the bureau of water of this city, was shot and probably fatally wounded while at work on the seventh floor of the city hall by Frederick Hornberger, a fire- man at one of the city pumping sta- tions. The shooting was sensational and at first was belleved to have been the result of politics, but later it de- veloped the attempted murder was the outcome of domestic affairs. Schaff- hauser for the last year has been much in the public eye, principally as a star witness in the criminal proceed- ings against John W. Hill, formerly head of the bureau of filtration. Schaffhauser was called from his office to the corridor of the seventh floor on the pretense that a friend wished to see him. He was met by Hornberger, who shouted: “You have killed my wife and I am going to kill you.” He had not finished the sen- tence when he began firing at Schaff- hauser. Hornberger shot five times and two of the bullets took effect. The victim fell and Hornberger start- ed to walk away, but was intercepted and held by eye witnesses to the shooting until placed under arrest. In the Central police station Horn berger told the police that Schaff hauser had been intimate with his wife and that her relations with him re- sulted in her death recently from dis- ease. DEED OF A LONE BANDIT ROBS PASSENGERS, OF SLEEPING CAR ON THE ROCK ISLAND RAILROAD. Kansas City, Nov. 10.—A lone rob ber, heavily masked, boarded the rear sleeper of the eastbound Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific train between Slater and Glasgow, Mo., shortly after midnight, robbed the passengers of a sum placed at between $100 and $500 and escaped in the darkness. The train left Kansas City at 9 p. m. The robber, who is described as being tall and wearing a long black overcoat, boarded the rear sleeper at Slater. When the train had gotten well under way He entered thé sleeper. He encountered the Pullman conduc- tor and a porter and at the point of a revolver commanded them to proceed ahead of him and wake up the pas-! sengers. The sleeper was well filled. As his demands were carried out the robber, keeping the conductor and porter ahead of him, systematically relieved the passengers. of money, watches and jewelry. When he had made his way through to the front end of the car he started for the second Pullman, Before the robber could enter the second car the porter slammed tne door in his face” The train was then at a point about one mile east of Glasgow. Realiz ing that he could proceed no further with his work the robber pulled thé alr rope. While the train was slacken- ing its speed he jumped off and dis- appeared in the darkness. GREED OF MONEY THE MOTIVE. German Police Accuse American Law- yer of Murder. Baden-Baden, Germany, Nov. 10— Karl Hau, alias Stau, the lawyer of ‘Washington, D. C., who was arrested in London Thursday and held for ex- tradition, is wanted by the local police on the charge of murdering his wife's mother, Frau Molitor. The motive of the alleged crime appears to have been insane greed of money. Frau Molitor, who was wealthy, refused many times to comply with Hau’s re- quest for money, having given her daughter a considerable dowry and arranged that she should inherit part of her fortune, ‘Washington, Nov, 10.—Dr. Charles W. Needham, president of George Washington university, in common with many other friends of Karl Hau, who is charged with murdering his .mother-in-law in Germany, declines to believe Hau could be guilty of the crime. Dr. Needham says he has known Hau five or six years and es- teems him as one of the most schol- arly, upright men) he has ever known.
