DEATH IN ABLAZE. Capt. Andariese, of Engine Company No. 1, Wearer of a Medal for Bravery, Is Killed Leading His Men to Battle with Flames in the Roosevelt Build- ing, at Broadway and Thirteenth Street, To-Day. Seven of His Comrades Are Cornered by the Fire on the Sixth Floor and Chaplains Go on Their Knees in the Snow to Pray for Their Rescue. Capt. John Andariese, of Engine Company No. 1, one of the heroes of the Fire Department, was killed and six other firemen were seriously in- jured in a fire to-day which did $300,000 damage to the new eight-story Roosevelt Building at tho northwest corner of Thirteenth street and Broad- way, occupied by a half dozen firms. Capt. Andariese was leading a half dozen firemen back to a place on the sixth floor where he saw flames. He stumbled through a hole in the floor which had been made by Chief Binns and a number of other firemen. The Captain fell under a staircase. When he was dug out his skull was found to have been crushed and his legs broken. He was carried to the Morton House and from there sent to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he died. The building was occupied by Hackett, Carhart & Co., first, second, seventh and eighth floors; Crown Suspender Company, third floor; Mano- tuck Silk Company, fourth floor; Brainerd & Armstrong Silk Company, fifth floor, and the Altman Neckwear Company, sixth floor. Hackett, Carhart & Co. will be the principal sufferers, with the Altman Neckwear Company, as the eixth, seventh and eighth floors, with the roof, are down, while all the rest of the building is water-soaked. SEVEN SAVED FROM THE FLAMES. When the fre was new seven men from Hngine Company No. 72 carried @ line of hose up through the interior of the building to the sixth floor under the command of Capt. John Kenlon. It was in the rear of this floor that the fire started. That was the last seen of the men for a half hour. The police were keeping the crowds back on the streets, when there was gasp of horror from the throng as it saw the seven firemen forced through the windows from the sixth floor by the flames. There was a space of only a few feet in a small balcony in an angle of the structure near the north end, and the flames forced the firemen out on to this balcony. From the windows the flames shot out, and it seemed that the men must be incinerated where they were, else they must jump to an equally certain death below. PRAYED FOR THEIR COMRADES. Fire Chaplains Smith and Walkley fell on their knees in the water and Among the lines of hore on the street and prayed for the men. Chief Purroy ordered Hook and Ladder Truck Company No, 7, of Windsor Hotel fire fame, to the rescue. As the horses hauled the great truck alongside of the building the hot sparks from the fire fell on them, and they carried it ten feet too far, They were unhitched and scampered away, while thirty firemen stood the hail of fire and raised the extension ladder. CROWD IS HORROR STRICKEN. At its greatest height it reached only the fifth floor. Seeing this, many in the crowd turned away in horror. Big Sergeant Thompson, of the Mercer street police station, who has seen men meet death before, covered his eyes and turned away, saying: “T can’t see them go down. They are all gone.” The top of the ladder bowed like a crescent, and, without waiting, Fire- men Edward F. Cook and Andrew Munn, of No. 7, both veterans, started up, carrying between them a scaling ladder. * On the top rounds they swayed the ladder so that they could reach over with the scaling ladder and hook it to the balcony, Then a great cloud of black smoke obscured everything from the sight of those in the street, and | when it cleared not a fireman could be seen, It was believed for a time that all had gone down in the flames—the seven on the balcony and the two rescuers, But in a few minutes word | reached the street that the seven had recovered the line of hose they had taken with them and had again attacked the fire, and inctead of desiring rescue they had fought the flames back into the building. When the crowd heard this the street became a noisy din of cheers. CEILING FELL ON THESE NINE. Capt. Gestner, of Engine Company No. 25, and Battalion Chief Binns had nine firemen fighting the fire from a stone stairway on the sixth floor when the metal ceiling fell and buried them. All were cut and bruised when dug out and two were unconscious, Robert Gropp, of Engine Company No. 25, sustained severe cuts about the face and his nose was broken. William Quinn, of Engine Company No. 3, sustained a severe fracture of the right wrist and was cut about the body. Chief Binns and Capt. Geat- ner were cut about the face and hands, As the roof caved in the concussion sent a column of sparks and fire several hundred feet in the air. The guests of the Morton House, nearly across the street, became alarmed and many of them rushed from their rooms, One woman in the Morton House carried her three little children in a blanket from the third floor to the restaurant on the first floor, where she Was assured there was little or no danger. Capt. Andariese lived at No. 348 West Twenty-ninth street with his wife and three children. He was made a fireman in 1889. On Jan, 24, 1900, he and Assistant Foreman McGuire risked their lives in rescuing two young women from a burning flat-house at No. 415 West Fifty-seventh treet, por is his heroic conduct at this fire he was made a Captain shortly afterward, DEMOCRATS BLOCK jsiZarserazers WORK IN CONGRESS ro of the rights of the minonty and this wanton outrage, lacking even the aorry excuse of pretended partisan Nneceswity, and to prevent the passage of victous measures which there is every reason for believing the majority fabh id Op) in thi hy i hae manned ae aul Soroug . the fable cena’ keepin fo thet chev were In the Newly Opened Annex, Third Floor, the e ; fami) 0 at of the IAW Was to secure a the ending of the final session of an day. i Retaliation for Action of Repub-|essrine “cimaram, "we "inane our gui, senda iad Art Object Department in 0 j | selves to wtand together in eupport of |cul utterances of Mayor Low in which is showing a splendid assortment of ficans in Opposing Admission} tno demand for the prenence of alhe declared that “the police have no quorum at all of Butler of Missouri, times. for the transao- recom The Melereieatiad Ca the Democrats to delay feat SWAsHINGTO Feb, 2%4,—The House eratic caucus to-day adopted the Fesolution: olved, Taat we shall resist by al bla means at our command the of contestes Muller and the of contestant Wagoner, being that the Republican mana-|®* House have determined to lange majority of 6,800 comestee Butler was re- to-day, wes shown 1 ee on both of the eens willbe supe given ngs Wae meade ean! 4a goon as business began in the Hh House The ayes and nays were onlled for on every motion, and much feeling nereeaman Richardson, omic, leader, was copaciaity estive mad nettled Congressman Payne at various | pressed ‘Butler and Fete whe gure in Miane’th.the | %Atoeking of ge eer are others.

Detectives Moody and Leeson were given special instructions to see that no anarchists eafled. They carried out their instruc- tions to the letter. Not only were the cabin passengers looked over and some questioned, but the detectives searched the entire whip, including the quarters of the crew and the coal bunkers. A watch was kept at the gangways. Detective Moody questioned the Chief Engineer, the Chief Steward, and the first officer, to find out whether any help had ‘been hired on this side. Detective Mallon, of the French Line, being held under the auspices of the Committee of City Affars of the Re- form Club, began at 10 o'clock to-day in the assembly room of the club- house, No. 233 Fifth avenue, The subject of discussion, “Gas and Electric Lighting,” was taken up and ‘Muntolpal Ownership of Electric Lighting Plants" was debated in the affirmative by Victor Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Dally Bee, the negative side being taken by Lieut. Cahoon, secretary of the National Diectrio Light Association. The latter said that Peter Cooper Hewitt’s new light was ‘to be the light of the future. Mr. Warner's Speech. In his address on municipal owner- ship of franchises, John De Witt War- ner, one of the chief speakers of the day, sald: “For twenty-five years, at each end of the Brooklyn bridge, connections have presented one after another cases of grotesque depravity, each appreciat- ed by all aw disgraceful, each more {dtotic, dangerous and unprofitable than the most stupid or greedy of the fac- tors concerned could have planned if left to itself." “Millions are spent.’ says Mr. Warner, “at the Battery and Central Parke for beauty, as well as air and light; end then, by euch junk trestles as sprawl bout the Battery, and sheet iron shant- jes as that which faces the Seventh avenue entrance to Central Park, the elevated roads spoil the city's invest- mente.” Under the head “Economy Requires Combination.” Mr, Warner said that a good way for the city to economize was to place ducts for heat, light and power along the side of the subway tunnels, and suggested that gas, water and sewer mains might be added to them. This would leave the surface of the streets undistarbed, he sald, and render access to the mains much easier. The speaker said algo thiat if the faren wore reduced Pilon the cars for pupils attending High Schools and Normal Colleges, more scholars would attend these schools. He added that reducé fares on the various oar Hnes would mean that laborers could afford to Hve in better homes, as they would be able to travel po much cheaper, “The question before us, therefore, is no longer whether to render most eMf- clent and economic service the fran- chises of New York should be under a single ownership ami management, but whether suvh omnerwhip shall ba that payers and property-owners from the east and west ends of the Bronx and other parts of the city. Many spoke in favor of the plans, Others criticised them. Edgar J. Levey declared that the scheme was unsatisfactory to the reet- dents on the west side of the Bronx because the extension, instead of being made through Jerome avenue, a8 origi- nally contemplated, was now to follow another route. “This great section, which is perhaps more highly favored by nature then any other and should be the Meooa of New York's northward flow of popu- lation, will be converted into a tem porary makeshift.” declared Mr. Levey. "Give the Jerome avenue extension the priority to whioh it {s justly entitled and connect it with the rapid transit eys- tem ‘at One Hundred and Forty-ninth Street instead of with the Manhattan Railroad at One Hundred and Fifty- Afth street. Keep It Ont of Politics . R. Fulton Cutting spoke on the fiman- ola! aspects of the extensions, Ho thought the city should make a “better deal” with the contractor than that with the bullders of the Taeeene subway. Not only is the question of handling the au Dyey system one of economics, sald Mr. Cutting, but one of politics as well. Already the enterprise was bein made a political issue. Some way shoul: be devised to secure an independent operation of the road.” This applied also to the extensions now proposed The Rapid Transit Commission should have the power to Independently control the operation of the great subway and thereby keep their management out of were matte, So far as young Hertzel 1s concerned, he will not get out of the hangs of the police until] after the Presi- dent's visit to this city concluded. Maxistrate Mayo held him to-day in $1,- 000 ball for examination Saturday. Hertzel f# not a person to inspire ter- ror. lad, gentle in manner, kindly In expres- sion, but he talks Anarchy with the abandon of Emma Goldman. At Police Headquarters Hertzel would not deny that he intended sailing for Burove. Go he was locked up and the District-Attorney asked to find some section of the law that would enable the police to keep Hertzel {mprisoned witle the President is in the city. Deputy Assistant District-Attorney, rank Btudin was in Jefferson Market Court to-lay when Hertzel was ar- raizned. He had dug up Section 675 rel- ative to acts not expressly forbidden ‘out which might sertously disturb the public peace. Herr Most once got a year's sentence under the provision, A short aMdavit was made by Detextive Ferrati, and on the strength of it Hert- 201 was remanded to the custody of the police. GATLING GUN'S INVENTOR DEAD, of the old contract, said Mr, Outting; “then the city will ‘prevent the sacrifice of this splendid system and prevent ite falling into the hands of a syndicate whose wisest management might prove a failure. Wants “L! to Go to Scrap Heap. Thomas A. Fulton declared that past experience had pointed a wise way for the future. He advised that every tail of the new subway be cm digested before any step was tal Wile 1 hope some day to son “the elevated railroad relegat heap,” said (Mr. Tlton, sifet T am favor of that part of the plans whtoh contemplate the bullding of an ele- vated extension on West street along ‘the iwer front and the subsequent re: moval of railroad tracks from the elrect surfaces in that easton of the city. J. B. Powers, representative of the Tax Payers’ Alliance, said his ongani- zation wanted the co-operation of the Doard in securing a five-cent fare on the Harlem road. “T have no jurisdiotion over the Har- lem road,” waid Chairman Orr. “Well, you've given, the Rapid Tran- sit road to the Harlem road, Don't you think you ought to give something to the peoples" “We ha isdiction——” began |of the city or of a te coterie of Gilleesn Gren Cea ht Bete R.

Prof. Frank Pareons, of Boston, President of the National Public Own- ership League, read a paper on “Reasons for Public Ownership of the Telephone.” Under this caption the speaker referred to conditions existing in Philadelphia, saying: “Public ownership of the ‘nment, is essential to any real lic owner- shtp of anything else.

Gatling, inventor of the Gatling gun, died this afternoon at No. 249 West One Hundred and Seventh street, the home of his son-in-law, tecost. Mr. Gatling was born !n Hartford County, North Carolina, Sept. 12, 1818. When a boy he made his first invention, assinting his father to perfect a machina for sowing cotton seed. He later invent- ed a machine for sowing rice, and adapt- so-called “Gatling gun.” This revolving gun, invented in 1862, which fired at a remarkably rapid rate. In 1886 he invented a new gun metal. composed of steel and aluminum. Co gress voted him $0,000 for proot experi- ments in a new method of casting can- non. Mr. Gatling invented several other appliances now in use, among them being a hemp-poreaking machine, low, etc, His home has been Hatteras ona. * Offended by District-Attorney Jerome's references before the Legislative Com- mittee at Albany to his rulings in re- cent excise cases Magistrate Breen wrote Mr. Jerome a letter to-day, in which he gemtly intimates that the latter's post. tlon on excise is Inconsistent, whimsical and spectacular. The letter follows: Dear Sir: In some of to-day's papers |= you are quoted as saying before a com- mitte of the State Senate: “Only yester- day we were again humiliated to hear @ Police Magistrate bemating a public ed it to the sowing of wheat and had it | a SS ship 4s control, and the ladelphia | patented.
