A Blase Started by Gasoline is At- tended by Disastrous Results—Mrs. Simms Badly Burned. Several painful and exciting incidents at- tended a fire in Northeast Washington about 9 o’clock this morning, and two wo- men narrowly escaped death. One was Mrs. Fannie Simms, in whose house, at No. 1111 D street, the fire starteé, who was painfully but not seriously burned. The other injured woman was Mrs. Mary Crabbs, who was run over by No. 3 engine, and so seriously injured that she may lese both legs. The deadly gasoline stove caused the fire and completely wrecked Mrs. Simms’ home. Her husband, George Simms, is employed on the Eckington and Soldie«s’ Home railroad. Harry Crabbs, husband of the other woman, is also in the employ of that company and working about the stables. The Trouble Came. Mrs. Simms has used a gasoline stove for a number of years, but not unti\ this morn- ing did she ever experience y trouble. She had lighted the gasoline beneath the burner, and when she thought the burner was hot enough to generate gas, she ap- plied the match. About this time she also filled the tank, and some of the fluid, she believes, was spilled in the flame. There was a flash, followed by an explosion, and Mrs. Simms rushed from the kitchen. Al- though her hair and eyebrows had been singed, and her right arm seriously burned, she did not leave her home until forced away by the flames. While suffering in- tense pain she went to work to save her household effects, and in this she received seme little assistance from her neighbors. A crowd of~excited people stood in the street meanwhile, many of them crying “Fire!” but it was several minutes before any of them had presence of mind enough to turn in an alarm or send a message to the proper place. A message was finally sent from Gibson’s wood yard, and an alarm was sounded from box 634. Several engine companies and truck A company responded, and it was while No. 3 engine was being driven to a plug that two of its Wheels passed over Mrs. Crabbs’ legs. Mrs. Crabbs met with this painful and se- rious accident because of her efforts to Save life and property. She lives only a short distance from the house where the fire started, and when she heard of the fire she recollected that in the house adjoining the burning building was a sick woman, Mrs. Bruce, wife of an ex-car conductor. This unfortunate woman had become a mother only yesterday, and it was to save her and her infant that Mrs. Crabbs left her children at home and hurried over to the scene. Helping Others When Hart. In the removal of the sick woman to a Place of safety Mrs. Crabbs was of mate- rial assistance, and not knowing that some other person had rescued the infant, she returned to get it. Finding that both mother and child were safe, she assisted in the work of saving the household effects. She had deposited somethimg on the north side of the street, opposite the burning house, and turned to make another trip. Just then the heavy engine came along over the extremely rough dirt road. The woman was running, and the sight of the approaching engine only caused her addi- tional fright. She stumbled on the dirt road and fell headlong in front of the en- xine. The woman appeared so suddenly in the street that it was impossible for the driver to prevent the accident. He succeeded in turning the horses so that they did not strike the woman with their feet, and the firemen left the engine as soon as they could and went to the assistance of the injured woman. The neighbors had picked her up, however, and they carried her home. Her arrival at her humble house across the lot from the car stable was a sad scene. There her four little children were in the room, the youngest only three weeks oid, while the oldest was probably but six years of age. Then her husand came over from the stable, and he was almost frantic when he saw his wife lying on the bed, surrounded by her children and the neighbors. Several telephone messages were sent for a physician, but it was not until after more than thirty minutes of suffering that the woman was able to get the desired pro- fessional services. Saving the Property. Dr. Barnes arrived and attended her. While this was being done the firemen were fighting the flames, and the work of sav- ing the household effects was continued until three houses were vacant. Consider- able china and glassware was destroyed. It was reported that Mrs. Simms had left her pecketbook, containing $500, in the house, and this false rumor only increased the excitement. The pocket book, which really. cortained a much smaller amount, was saved, although the greater part of the household .effects were burned. Mrs. Simms was very much worried over the supposed loss of her pug dog, but later the canine was found where it had taken refuge in a neighbor's house. ‘ The house in which the fire started was badly wrecked, the rear building being en- tirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at about $500. —__ MASS MEETING. Laborers to Disc the Street Sweep- ing Question. The big mass meeting of the laborers of the city to protest against the cleaning of the streets of the city by machinery will be held tonight at 8 o’clock at Grand Army Hall. This protest comes from the workingmen who fear many of them will be deprived of work by reason of the new street sweeping contract. A majority of the bids, it will be recalled, were for doing the work by machinery. It was charged that by reason of the machines, laborers who heretofore had been employed to clean the streets would be displaced. The laborers, however, do not propose to rest their case vpon the #ssurance of the Commissioners that the work will be done as heretofore, but will insist upon the work being done entirely by hand. ee Company Must Improve Facilities. Complaint has recently been made to the Commissioners that the Brightwood Rail- road Company was violating the terms of its charter in that it failed to run its cars on a proper schedule, and did not provide sultable accommodations for its patrons. The engineer department has since in- vestigated the matter, and find the com- plaint well grounded. It has been recom- mended that the railroad company be noti- fied immediately to run its road in a proper manner, failure to do so to be construed as a violation of its charter, with the con- sequent results of prosecution.

Michael Riley, a well-known Police Court character, was before Judge Kimball to- day, looking a little the worse for wear. The same old charge of vagrancy was filed against Michael, and, as usual, he pleaded “not guilty.” “He entered my store last night and was begging,” said a witness. “The man had been drinking heavily, and a lady customer jumped away in horror when he ap- proached.” “Want to say anything, the court. “No use of my saving anything, I guess mumbled the defendant. “I suppose I’m convicted, anyway.” “Yes, you are,’ replied Judge Kimball. “Sixty days.” Among the other vegrants in the dock were Charles Williams, George Jackson, Benjamin Lewis, Charles Rowes, Thomas O'Neal and Richard Britner. They were asleep last night in freight cars, near the Long bridge, and were arrested by Special Policeman Rupple. Lewis, O'Neal and Brit- ner had employment, they said, and they were released on their personal bonds. The other three went to the workhouse to serve sentences ranging from ten to thirty days. It was rather cold last night, but John Grayson, George Walker, Henry Mitchell and Richard Lacy, nevertheless, selected a coal yard at 15th and D streets as a sieep- ing apartment. They were arrested by Po- iceman Mellen. x “Ten days each,” ruled the court. Ses INSPECTORS’S OFFICE. Riley?” asked Mr. Brady Planning Some Needed Im- provements. Building Inspector Brady is engaged in reorganizing the working force of his de- partment. His purpose is to improve the work of inspection as much as possible, realizing the importance of that branch of the service to the safety of the citizens. To bring about this result the inspector needs more inspectors, and when the Com- missioners make their report to Congress this will be made a feature. In the mean- time he is bending his energies to find some way to lighten the labors of his of- fice and increase its efficiency, with the specific end in view of bettering the super- vision of public and private buildings in course of erection. Lately charges of gross negligence and incompetency have been filed against two of his assistants, and he is investigating the charges thoroughly. —_———__ BURIED ALIVE BY CHOICE. Horrible Self-Martyrdom Practiced by a Sect in Russia. A London dispatch to the New York Sun says: Details have been received from Odessa of the self-immolation of a number of the fanatical followers of Raskolniki, a report of which was first received two weeks sgo. More than twenty-four bodies of persons who were buried alive have been recovered from a series of pits near Tires- pol. The sect is a survival of the old dis- senters, who were persecuted in Rus- ja for two centuries. Their treat- ment was worst under Empress So- phia, whea thousands of them were knouted by the state. The result was that they became fiercely fanatical and invented a doctrine of salvation by martyrdom. ‘They are now practicing self-immolation. Six bodies were accidentally discovered on the premises of Feodore Kovaleff, who con- fessed that he had walled up in his cellar nine living persons, including his wife and two young children. He further admitted that he had buried the other six, while they were still alive, in a specially excavat- ed pit eight feet deep. Kovaleff declares that all of these were voluntary victims. In an adjoining garden, belonging to Mat- vel Sukula, four bodies were discovered in a pit. Sukula says that these were buried alive at their own requests. A large number of persons, including many foreigners, among whom is an Amer- ican touring party, are visiting the scene. Boys Were Disorderly. The Salvation Army meeting in the bar- racks, on Pennsylvania avenue near 10th street, Tuesday evening was disturbed by several young men, and they were finally ordered out of the hall. Three of / them left their seats and started out, but, going down the steps, they made as much noise as so many horses, and slammed the door so hard that they smashed a big pane of glass. Two of the trio, who ve their names as Harry Thomas and John Ken- medy, were arrested, and charged, with disorderly conduct. Being unable to leave collateral for their appearance, they fig- ured in the procession in the Police Court yesterday morning. Each pleaded guilty to the charge, and Capt. Ida Morrison re- lated the story of how the meeting had been interrupted. Judge Mills imposed the penalty of $20 or ninety days eacl, and gaye the young men a reprimand. CASTORIA [23 <<< — PRINTING PROTESTS, Senator Gallinger’s Remarks on Sec- retary Wilson’s Communication. In the Senate yesterday SenatorrProctor Presented a communication from Secretary Wilson protesting against the Passage of the anti-vivisection bill and asked:to have it printed as a document. Senator Gal- linger said he would not object this time, but he thought it was a vicions practice to burden the printing appropriations with communications for or against the bill at this time, inasmuch as a committee of the Senate had Passed upon the bill and sub- mitted a report upon it. Mr. Gallinger added: 1 “During the last Congress a bilk was pre- sented for regulating the so-called subject of vivisection in the District: ef- Columbia. ‘For the better protection of:animals’ was the title of the bil. That bill was referred to a subecmmittee of the eommittee on the District of, Columbia, of which I. was chairman. That subcommittee:gave a hear- ing to the parties interested, occupying many hours. The opponents of the bill had every facility afforded them for presenting their side of the case. Not only that, but a@ young gentleman connected with the De- partment of Agriculture was given a rea- sonable time to present his views, and, in. addition to what he presented, thirty-five closely prir.ted pages were given to him by the subccrrmittee as space in which to further elaborate his views and to present documents bearing on the subject. Others who were heard in opposition to the meas- ure were treated with equal courtesy and generosity. and so far as I know no com- plaint whatever was made that the hearing was not fair to all parties interested. A re- port was made. The bill went to the cal- endar, and for one reason and another it was not re:ched for consideration. “Immediately upon that report being made, the opponents of the bill sent pro- tests and memorials to the Senate, and through senators they were presented and printed as documents. Those protests, for the most part, reviewed the report of the committee, taking exception’ te the. find- ings, and in many instances they were mis- leading, if not absolutely false. “At the present session a similar bill has been introduced, and by direction of the committee on the District of Columbia I have reported it to the Senate. Immediate- ly these same gentlemen sent letters and protests and memorials to the Senate, again reviewing that report and taking exceptions to the findings of the committee. Yesterday papers of that kind- were presented, and again today a paper is presented, I take it, arguing against the findings of your committee. “Mr. President, I am not going to ob- pect to the printing of this paper as a locument, notwithstanding I ought to do so, but I want to call the attention of the Senate to the fact that there ought to be some limit to this matter. For instance, suppose the advocates of the ‘bill should present a very formidable paper reviewing the views held by these memortalists, and the memorialists who presented their docu- ments yestcrday, and again today, should think it incumbent upon them. to review the opinions of those advocates of the bill, where are we going to stop in printing documents at the expense of the govern- ment regarding a matter that has been fairly considered by a committee, the hear- ings on which have been printed,.and which are available to all?” ——-e-____ FRIGHTENED WITH A SNAKE. Harry Lang -Annoys School Children .{n Mount Pleasant. Visionary snakes are seen almost daily in the Police Court by prisonera recovering from delirium tremens, but this morning the real article was in evidence in more senses than one. It figured sinia case of disorderly conduct against HertytiLang, a young white boy. 1165 1H Frank R. Conner, janitor of thesJohnson public school, at Mount Pleasant, explained the trouble in detail to the eourk, Lang, he said, has been in the habit of loafing about the school building. {Shortly be- fore 9 o'clock yesterday he put if an ap- pearance with a snake tied to § string.

Misses Phillip ‘Winners—Honorable and Bennett Prise Mention of Misses Lowenstein and Heath. At the annual award of medals, made at the Corcoran Art School yesterday after- noon, Miss Phillip received the handsome gold medal bearing Mr. Corcoran’s image upon its face. There is exc: ‘lent construc- tion in the figures which she has drawn from life, and in those which she has done from the antique as well, but perhaps the gieatest merit of her work lies in the fine modeli..g, and in this respect her product deserves great praise. The bronze medai was captured by Misa Bennett, and the two honorable mentions were awarded to Miss Loretto Lowenstein and Miss Louise Heath. The jury of award commended the work of Mr. Rudolph Evans, and expressed re- gret that it was not in competition. Members of the Jury. The jury consisted of Mr. J. G. Brown and Mr. H. F. Waltman of New York, and Mr. E. C. Messer, the latter a fortunate choice from among the local artists, who took the place of Mr. Edward Sim- mons, who was unable to attend. The jury had the drawings under consideration in the mrorning, and its decision was left in a sealed envelope, which was opened at 4:30 Pp-m. in the presence of the students and their friends, who had assembled in the lecture hall. After a brief address by Professor An- drews, Mr. McGuire announced the success- ful contestants, and Mr. S. H. Kauffmaun, President of the board of trustees, present- ed the medals and diplomas of honorable mention, after which congratulations were in order, and the visitors inspected the werk displayed in the armmual exhibition. ‘The exhibit was thrown open to the public today, and will remain open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow, and until noon on Satur- day. Whot the Rules Provide. According to the rules, any student who has worked for two years in the school may enter the competition by submitting three life drawings and three antique drawings, and in order to eliminate every possibility of parifality, the work is dis- tinguished by letters instead of by the proper signatures. The competitive draw- ings are ranged about the splendidly light- ed hemicycle, and a tour around the room is sufficient to convince any one of the ex- cellent work the stucents have done dur- ing the year. There is serious study man- ifested throughout, and notwithstanding the many interruptions and the obstacles which the students have had to contend with this season, the year’s showing is one with which Prof. Andrews has every reason to be gratified. Hanging in the same hall with the medal contest drawings, and claiming an equal share of attention, is the exhibit of wa- ter colors, which Is one of the most iuter- esting features this year. Under Miss Lil- lian Cook’s guidance, the students have advanced wonderfully in technical han- dting; still, in spite of the strong intu- ence which she has exerted, the studenis have progressed in the development of in- dividuality of style, and the work is there- fore in a degree varied and unconventional. The Color Studies. In addition to the work of the students, there are several telling color studies in landscape and marine, by Miss Atwater, who has charge of a sketching class, com- posed largely of pupils froin the Corcoran School. - Among the students who show notably good outdoor work is Miss Edith Ward, her study along the canal in George- town being particularly effecttve. Two of the figure studies by Miss Mabel McKee at once challenge attention, a simple, artistic sketch of a girl in a red gown, and a study of a chorister in full costume, the iatter executed on gray paper with touches of white paint. | The study of a bean jar by Mrs. Ljung- Btedt is painted with an appreciative touch that will delight the heart of every exiled Bostonian who shall visit the exhibition. Two excellent fruit studies are the straw- Lerries by Miss E. T. Wood, a crispy treat- ed aquarelle, and the tempting bunches of grapes by Miss Roulette. Mrs. Ralph W. Kirkham's choir boy, the figure study by Miss Morris and a number of heads by Mrs. Kemon deserve special mention, and Mrs. Mechlin, Miss Alice Foster, Mrs. Campbell und many others show good work in this department. ‘There is much of excellent product, both in antique und life drawing, which is not in the medal competition, and a corner of the lecture hall and a part of the life class room upstairs is devoted to the display of this work. In life drawing William H. Coffin shows several very well modeled figures, and Miss Doolittle, Miss Quinn, Miss Hungerfcrd, Miss Carol Bradford and Miss Cartwright are among the strong workers. An-ong the antique drawings, the slave, by Miss Maud Newman, the gold medalist of last year, attracts attention, and a few of those who show especially good work are Mrs. Sawtelle, Ernest Nei- on, Miss Lucretia Spilman, Miss E. J. Clarkson, Miss Wagner and Miss Thomas. Studies in Oil. Quite a large collection of studies in oil is exhibited, and among the portraits those by Miss Anna Hunt are especially strong. Her large canvas showing two students at work in the antique room in the old quar- ters of the school is very soundly painted and is a good study of values. Miss McMul- ien’s portrait of an elderly lady dressed in black will claim attention, as will also the heads by Miss Grace Patten, Miss May Malone, Miss Jouy, Miss Connoly, Miss Goodell and Miss Shoenborn. Those who are best represented in still life work are Miss Ford, Miss Morrison, Miss Edith Har- ris and Miss Florence Harris. Other Subjects. The exhibition of compositions is not very large this year, and to this depart- ment Ernest Nelson has contributed most. His Egyptian study, entitled ‘The Mourn- ers,” and his compositions for the sub- jects “Gossip” and “Solitude,” show a great amount of talent, though the general effect of his drawings is sometimes weak- ened by too great attention to the finish of unimportant details. Miss Loretto Low- eretein also shows several interesting ccm- positions, and is equally clever in her sketches. A group of sketches in imitation of the Japanese style from the pen of Misa Eugenie De Land, are very attractive, and John W. Holland has done some clever sketching during the year. The five-minute sketches by Miss McKee and Miss Clements re among the things by which this first exhibition in the new building will be pleasantly remembered. ——— McLAURIN NOW SENATOR. Gov.

When Charles Clark, who lives at No. 1016 3d street southeast, went to work in the navy yard yesterday, where he is em- pleyed in one of the gun shops, he changed his tan shoes, as has been his daily cus- tom.

Judge Kimball this afternoon in the Po- lice Court sent Charles Lewis, a young white man, to jail for three months for “flim-flamming” James Neuland, the pro- prietor of a lunch room at 13th and E Streets, out of $1. A similar charge against Harry Edmonston, who was with Lewis at the time, was dismissed. Lewis has served time in the penitentiary. The trans- action with Mr. Neuland occurred last evening and consisted of confusing him in making change. Several thieves, who have been stealing bicycles have come to grief recently, but the warning is not heeded, and during the past f2w weeks quite a large number of lamps have been stolen.
