It was this precaution which cost them thelr lives, She unwittingly locked them in to their death, for had the door been left open the neighbors at the first alarm | might have rescued them. No one, however, knew at 8.80 o'clock this morning, when fingers of smoke began to creep out from under the doors of the Berberick apartments, that any human being was in the rooms. An attempt was made, however, to force an entrance, but the door was strong, and, moreover, it was securely locked, and it withstood the half-heart- ed efforts of the tenants who live in the house, Had thev known there were lives to fave in that burning room there would have been no question of their succe Some one who saw from the front of the house the smoke curling up against the window panels from the inside and forcing its way out through the crevices ran and turned in a hurried alarm. In a very few minutes the fire-engines responded, The firemen ran up the stairs and It took but a blow or two from their heavy axes to beat down the wooden barrier, They rushed in with the hose and turned it on a corner of the room where there was a fierce crackling biage. it Was not much of a fire for them to fight, and they had it under control in a very few minutes, Meanwhile Mrs, Berberick returned, and learning that the fire was in her rooms, ran wildly through the halls, shouting in German that her children were inside. Policeman Edward Bowes, of the East Sixty-seventh street station, and @ fireman dashed through the stifiing smoke into the little bedroom.

Parker Says the Law Docs Not Apply to Public Business, ALBANY, Jan. 4.—Judge Parker ren- dered a decision this morning concerning the pass prehibition clause of the new Constitution, that will practically nul- lify its provisions if sustaiged by the | upper courts. He was asked for an opin- | fon by the Board of Raliroad Commis- sioners, and he practically decides that the Legislature may, if it pleases, make provision for its members,’ and all State officers to accept passes from the rail- roads, when travelling on official busi- ness.

At the time of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States monhs of labor were expended upon it, and then only 8,000,000 people were in this country. Now the Legislature attempts to rush through an almost identical measure, which is of vital interest to 8,000,000 peop! “The idea is preposterou Mayor Strong and I are in accord with the idea that the Lexow Consolidation bill should be overthrown, e agree that eleven Commissioners be appointed to draw up a charter, under which the united citles shall be gov- erned, and present a report to the Leg- islature of 1896," Mayor Schlieren said that he would go to Albany to-night in the In- terest of the proposed new bill, which Into supersede the Lexow bill A GREAT FUTURITY.
