A Carelessly Thrown Match Causes a Fire in Whi Many Are Kill- ed or Badly Hurt. A small boy carelessly throwing a match into a pile of oily waste, a blasting mass of flames, 300 girls and women frenzied with fright fighting for life as the hot flames chased them with hungry tongues, wes the beginning of a fire last night at Troy, N. Y., that consumed thousands of dollars’ worth of property and caused the destruction of several lives. z From the outside of the high building the first notice of impending disaster was the sight of a body of girls as they rushed out upen the fire escapes from the win- dows, those who were more fortunate crowding out the entrance. Following them was a mass of smoke, with flashes of hot flame in lurid streaks. Then the mass of frenzied humanity, finding the egress too smal! for instant escape, began climb- ing over the sides of the escapes, and bun- dies of clothing filled with writhing hu- manity dropped at the feet of horrified pass: Within twenty minutes after the fire started there were three dead wo- men upon the floor of an a*joining store and at least a dozen burned and malmed girls and women taken to the hospital or to their homes. Of the 350 girls and women in the build- ing it was prestmed that at least a half dozen are in the ruins, for 1t was impos- sible to locate all. It was just thirty minutes before closing ours in Stettheimer & Co.’s shirt waist fac on River street, and the 300 girls and women were working rapidly to finish up. In tne cutting room on the fifth floor the 150 girls were closing up their day's assignments and preparing to leave when the whistle blew. Lillie Kreiger, who was working near a machine, called to a small boy to Hght the gas over her work. The boy struck a match and threw the burning stub to the floor. It siruck a pile of oily rags, and in an irstant the girl was enveloped in flames. With hee clothes and hair burning she rushed to the window, and in an instant the room became a struggling, shrieking mass of humanity, filling the windows, the fire escapes and the only stairway. Jam- ming and pushing, tearing each other's clothes from their backs, turning in nar- row corridors to find a sister or mother or friend, the number in the exits augmented every minite by those from the other | floors. these girls and women fought for the li to get away from the fiery | fla that seemed to grow to monstrous size. With rare presence of mind, Police- man Farrell, who was on the street, seeing that the panic a number were liable . let down the awning over the en- Barely was it down when two or ms came flying down, from the fifth and sixth stories, and bouncing from the awning, fell to the sidewalk. Fell From the Windows. Lillie Kreiger, over whose machine the fire started, was one of these. She struck the awning, fell on her back and bounced to her hands and knees on the walk. She got up and staggered about until people helped her to her feet again. | By this time nearly every window had a female form dangling from it, and when the firemen arrived there was'a hustle to get the ladders up. At the center window on the sixth floor a woman hanging by her hands was forced out by the flames licking ce. With a last shriek she let go ame tumbling over and over until she the pavement. When picked up it Was found that she was Mrs. Herbersher. Her spinal column was forced: through into her brain. Just below her in another win- dow hung a woman, turning appealing glances to the crowd. The black smoke Was pouring from the window, but as vet no flames were visible, and the crowd yell- ed encouragingly to her to hold on, but a high red flame reached out just then and licked her face, and in an instant her body was rebounding from the pavement. She was Mrs. Foley, a widow, and when pick- ed up was dead. On the same floor, hang- ing from another window was a woman, and salvation in the shape of a ladder was almost within her grasp when her strensth failed and she went tumbling down to je She was Mrs. Kane. The firemen and police worked like heroes, and to their energy was due a great saving of life. At least a do: women and girls | were carried down the ladders and dragged out of the corridors, the officers and fire- men going Into the midst.of the smoke and a. The fire burned so flercely by this time that no detailed search of the building could be made, and from what can be learned there were many girls and women on the three upper stories, either lying in fainting fits or also overcome by smoke. it was this fact that led to the rumors that there were at least twenty women dead. The flames ate down through three floors 80 quickly that the Western Union ‘Tele- graph Company, Jessup & Gooppner Crock- e Company and Van Zandt & Jacobs’ manufactory had not time to suave anything. One house after the fire started caught from the falling of a portion of the roof, and from it small buildings on the south caught. About § o'clock the firemen heard shrieks coming from the two-story build- ing on the south. They discovered an Ital- jan peddler, named Joseph Rossi, who kept @ stand in front of the building, pinioned by the legs under a heavy beam. Three policemen started to assist him, and with a@ fireman worked for three-quarters of an hour. They had just about gotten him loose, when with a roar the great south walls came crashing dewn and the horrl- fled spectators saw the brave little group buried from view. When the smoke and dust had cleared, there was a rush of will- Dwyer and Cunningham to Go Before the Grand Jury. The Telegram to Mrs. Lindsey an Escape of Boston Charley— ‘Testimony Heard. Daniel Dwyer and John J. Cunningham, arrested on a charge of conspiring to de- fraud Mrs. Judge Jemes Lindsey of Texas, were given a preliminary hearing in the ‘Police Court yesterday afternoon, the de- fendants being represented by Lawyers Glassie and Closs. Chas. Mortis, alias Ma- sen, alias “Boston Charley,” charged with them, had not becn captured, and so he was not present. Judge Miller heard the evidence of a number of witnesses and held the men for the action of the grand jury. Judge Lindsey was the first witnesses sworr. in the case and ha testified that he lives at Gainesville, Texas, and defendant Cunningham's father lives about ten miles from there. “Did Cunningnam know you?” Mr. Mul- lowny asked him. “He must have known me,” replied wit- neDid you serd a telegram to your wife on the i2th of the month?” the witness was asked. “No, sir,” he answered. = ram referred to was read, as fol- low: uy $250 in express money orders, payable to Robert C.

LINDSEY.” “Have you had any conversation with Cunningham since the telegram was sent?” “Yes, sir." “What did he say about the other defend- ants, if anything?” “He told me he knew Mason, and had pointed me out to him.” Witness said he had been in the city about five weeks, but had not seen Cun- ningham until after his arrest. Quesiiored about Cunningham, witness said bis r=putation in Texas, so far as he remembered, was not gcod. He thought he got in trouble about the forgery of his father’s name. He did not know Dwyer. Manager Marean of the Western Union Telegraph Company waS shown the tele- gram. He said it was filed after 11 o'clock at night, and was sent off. When witness saw the telegram the next morning he sus- pected something wrong and called on Judge Lindsey to inquire about it. Sending the Message. Richard Rozzelle, a Western Union mes- senger bey, -testified that the defendant Dwyer called him to Gerstenberg’s saloon on the night of February 12, and sent him to the office with a telegram. Witness de- livered the telegram and then returned with the change, for Dwyer had given him a $% bill. On his way back to the saloon he met Dwyer cn the street and gave him the change. “Are you sure he is the man?” the boy was asked. “Yes, sir.” Sergeant Moore of the first precinct was called and he testified that when Charles Mortis, alias “Boston Charley,” was under arrest Dwyer called at the station to see about getting him out on bond. Witness talked io him and he sald he was ac- quainted with “Boston Charley,” and said they were both here looking after claims. T. A. Simpson, receiving clerk at the Western, Union office, testified that he re- memberéd the boy Rozzelle bringing in this particular telegram. The handwriting re- j Sembled that of a similar telegram sent some time before. Witness remembered that the boy told him where he got the | telegram, and that he had the $5 to pay for. the sending. Witness said he knew nothing about Cun- ningham, and had never seen him before Thursday night. Precinct Detective Sutton gave evidence concerning the arrest and release of ‘“Bos- ton Charley.” Defendant Dwyer and a Mr. McManus called at the station and seemed very anxious about “Boston Char- ley.” They were permiited to see him. When Dwyer left the police station, witness followed him to No. 511 13th street. A few minutes later he came out, and, with Mc- Manus, went to the Hotel Lawrence, when they were joined by a third man. Later, Dwyer changed his hat and coat, and wit- hess then followed them to Ztp and D streets, where he arrested Dwyer and Mc- Manus and locked them upon suspicion. At 7th and D streets they said they were going to deliver a message from “Boston Charley” to Tom Coakley, a Senate mes- senger. The Release. The next morning, when witness reached the police station, he learned. that a man had vouched for them to Lieut. Amiss, and the lieutenant released them. That morn- ing “Boston Charley” wad “released. In- spector Hollinberger decided -to release him, as there was nothing against him, and he went to Alexandria. Witness afterward received information concerning the sending of the telegram in question, and made the arrests of Dwyer and Cunningham. The latter, he sald, had pointed out Judge Lindsey to “Boston Char- ley” and had told him that the judge was a rich man. During another conversation Cunningham said he had told both Dwyer and “Boston Charley” about Judge Lindsey being here from Gainesville, Tex. On cross-examination witness said he did not know who vouched for the men. Dwyer and Cunningham, but heard that Congress- wan Amos Cummings had vouched for Dwyer. Whan “Boston Charley” was released he got money from people in the Capitol with which to buy a railroad ticket. Witness said he obtained information about ‘“Bos- ton Charley” from a man who said he had been in trouble at Butte, Montana, and who also said he was a professional crook. Other witnesses, including the defendant Dwyer, were examined. He made a whole- sale denial of the charge, and endeavored to account for his whereabouts about the time the telegram was sent. The messenger boy was recalled and closely questioned, but his identification of Dwyer was not shaken. Judge Miller, in holding them for the grand jury, fixed the bond at $1,000, which the prisoners expect to gi ee Injury to the Raleigh. The navy yard officials at Norfolk report that upon examination of the Raleigh, which is now in dock there, it was found that in touching the ground in Key West harbor two of the bottom plates and a couple of frames were bent. They will be repaired immediately. — Act Approved. The President has signed the act extend- ing for three years the time allowed for the completion of the inclined rallway up ing workers, and in a Uttle while the men were taken out. All were injured and had to be removed to the hospital. The Italian will probably die, but the brave policemen, while badly hurt, will recover. Fell Into the Flames. Superintendent Willard of the police force says that he saw a number of girls at win- dows who never came out, but fell back in- to the flames. One fireman who was working from the rear saw three girls with their arms wound tightly about each other, turn in their frenzy and jump back into the flames. Some of the women who escaped told of umbling over prostrate bodies, and were tive that a score of girls perished. The girls who did escape live in various subur- ban places and hurried away. Lottie and Nellie Hull, sisters, grasped each other tightly by the hands and started down the Stairs from the sixth story. At the land- ing of the fifth floor they encountered a wall of flame and smoke. Nellie had on only her corsets and skirt, having been making her toilet. Lottie, who was ‘partially dressed, threw her dress Nellie's face and together they through the flames. Lottie’s hair was burned completely off when she reached the sidewalk, but Nellie was burned only about her bare arms. They were taken home. The loss by the fire is from $250,000 to $300,000, with about $100,000 insurance. At Jeast 500 people are thrown out of employ- ment. The firemen worked last night with the thermometer down below zero and greatly suffered. Two coroners were summoned, and a jury ‘was empaneled to care for the dead. also over West mountain, Hot Springs reservation, and the act extending till 1898 the time al- lowed for the completion of the railway bridge across the St. Lawrence river. in St. Lawrence county, N. ¥.

CHASE COMP: BROOM FACTORY New Enterprise of the Central Union rie Work for the Poor Outside of the Woodyard—The Facilities at Present. The authorities of the Central Union Mission have just started a new branch to their industrial department, which al- ready gives promise of being as much a success as the wood yard has been. It is @ broom factory, and in a day or so Wash- ington matrons will have an opportunity to see and try the product of a home in- dustry in their house eleaning. The manu- factory has been located in the basement of the mission building, on Louisiana ave- nhué very near the wood-sawing department, and the room provided has been thorough- ly cleaned and otherwise put in order for the establishment. The light afforded by the windows was hardly sufficient, and, in consequence, those in charge have attached to the plant a system of electric lights. In addition to this, steam heat has been pro- vided, so that those who are employed in the factory are really better off thin many of their brethren in similar lines of work. In order to afford access from the front of the building a new stairway has been built. At present there are eight men who have been placed at work, besides the foreman, but these can be increased by the,addition of three or four more, and if the plant is such a success as to warrant the purchas- ing of more machines, there is space encugh in the room to permit of there being twenty and more workmen engaged at the same time. Three sets of machines com- prises all the machinery of the present plant, but it will be sufficient to turn out a large number of brooms each day. In making the brooms the first thing tne men do is to sort the broom corn. ‘This corn in use at the mission has been purchased at Richmond, and could not be obtained near- er, so that the first output of the factory will, it is expected, be a trifle higher in price than subsequent lots, for which the corn can be obtained ncarer home and di- rect from the producer, instead of from a commission merchant. ‘The handles of the brooms are also manufactured outside of the city, but if the factory is a complete success it is thought that the mission may obtain machinery to turn out the han- dies and thereby open up a new industry. When the broom corn has been assorted it is passed over to those in charge of the winding machines. This machine arranges the broom in the manner that every one has seen on the handles, and secures it by the wrappings of wiré at the small of the broom. After this the unfinished broom is Passed to the stitcher. The stitching ma- chine runs the threads in and out, binding the strands of corn firmly together, and then the broom is nearly ready for salo. The mission has had its own stamp and label prepared, so that everybody may see just what the mission can do without being imposed upon by substitutes. The three first mentioned stages of the manufactory are carried on by the machines, but on first thought one would thiak that the trade would be a somewhat difficult one to learn. Mr. E. D. Bailey, chairman of the board of directors of the mission, however, states that this is not the case, but, on the con- trary, the men who are now at work, and without any previous experience, ‘have turned out several very respectable brooms. Two weeks is about the time thought rec- essary to teach a man go that his work can pass inspection. The directors think that though this may deter some men from ap- Plying for this class uf work, it will be better for them in the end, as they will be in possession of a trade, at least, and so not as dependent as the wood sawyers. The winding stage of the process is the most difficult, and requires the most amount of time to become proficient in. The actual making of the brooms will not put the number of men to work that anoth-. er portion of the factory is contemplated to do. Fhis latter is the business end, the buy- ing and selling. Or rs, both wholesale and retail, are to be fi. that the greatest amount sold in the for- mer class will be from men who are out of work, and who wish to purchase the brooms and sell them themselves, at their own personal risk. The mission authorities are also to employ men appointed by the superintendent from applications made to him to sell the output on commission. This will furnish continual employment at all times of the year, winter as well as sum- mer. It is also possible that the plant may be extended so as to embrace other branches of a well-established broom fac- tory, such as making dusters and kindred articles. Those of the men who are now at work are being taught by an expericnced German workman, whom the directors were fortunate enough to secure in Richmond, after trying a number of other places. The superintendent in charge of the business end of the scheme is A. W. C. Nowlin of this city. Superintendent Nowlin claims that his men will and are able to turn out as cheap, if not cheaper, articles than those produced by private factories. Gladness Comes with a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on whichit acts. Itis therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep- utable di ts. Ifin the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be ommended tothe most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. - THE AGRICUUTURAL BILL. The Secretary Criticised During Dis- cussion of the Appropriation. The agricultural appropriation bill eccu- pled the attention’ of the House yesterday. A great deal of criticism of Secretary Mor- ton was indulged in oh ¥pth sides of the po- litical aisle, but, as “on Saturday, no one arose to his defense. «At.last Mr. Pearson of North Carolina on his feet, and asked if there was ng ie member; dem- ocrat, populist or republican, who would raise a voice in his @efense. His question was greeted with a chorus of ‘‘No’s” from all sides of the Housd; The omission in the bill of a provision for a chief clerk of the bureau oF animal.ingugtry, at a salary of $2,000, which was made upon the Secre- tary’s recommendation, led to the insinua- tion that the Secretary wanted to legislate out of office P. F. Lysle, a free silver demo- crat from Missouri, the present incumbent, who was appointed on the recommendation of the Missour! Senators, and it was inti- mated that Secretary Morton’s action was an attempt to retaliate upon Senator Vest for the latter's attack on him in the Sen- ate about two weeks ago. An amendment was pending when the House adjourned making the execution of the provision in the bill for the distribution of seed mandatory. It is understood that Mr. Cousins of Iowa will offer an amend- ment directing the Secretary of the Treas- ury to withhold the payment of the Secre- tary’s salary until this: provision was ex- ecuted. An amendment was adopted ap- propriating $42,360 for a new edition of the horse book. Expenditures of the District.
