In a fire In a crowded flat building at Nos. 36 and 303 West One Hundred and ‘Thirty-fifth street to-day, which was geen to have been set by an in- cendiary, three children and their mother were burned to death and sev- eral other persons were seriously burned and injured. The dead: WANDLING, Mrs. Julla, thirty-three ® years old: burned to death in bed, * with youngest child In her arms, WANDLING, GEORGE, nine years old; suffocated and burned in mid room while seeking an exit, *WANDLING, HELEN, five years old; burned to death while groping her | way through fire-with her brother George. WANDLING, CHARLES, three years old; burned to death with his mother's arms about him In bed, An hour after daylight, but before | any of the*forty families living in the five-story red-brick structure were awake, Victor Johnson, living in a room in the rear of the ground floor at No, $6, left his room. As he closed the | door behind him he saw before him, » “where (he stairs start up through the | conclusively. building, a man’ who was in the act of striking a match. This man, who was the incendiary, ®ppeared to be about thirty years old and ‘was well dressed. Upon seeing Johnson he hurriedly applied the light. ed match to the wooden wainscoting in the hall, which had already been soaked with kerosene oll. Followed the Firebug. Instantly the whole hall was aflame. Johnson darted after the maa, and the stranger ran through the front door to the street. Johnson followed, and as he passed through the flames bis coihes caught fire, so that when he emerged on the sidewalk the blaze completely en- veloped him. He called to the flrebug to stop. The man ran on to Elghth avenue, where Policeman Welmer was standing on the corner. Wetmer believed ,that the incendiary was a tenant who was rushing down to the corner to turn in an alarm and @id not try to Interfere with him. When Johnson got up with the policeman he fell exhausted and afire, telling Weimer that the man ahead had set fire to the bullding, The policeman turned and saw that bre man had passed the box without | turning in an alarm and had disap-| peared down the avenue. While other | men went to Johnson's assistance Wei- | mer turned in an alarm and ram back | to the building. By that time the fire had gone up| ‘through the hallway to the top of the building and had there spread to the mwhole floor. The policeman hammered on all doors he passed with his club, nd on the third floor he found three hildren. They could not find their way to their parents, who had gone to the front fire-escape. Making a big arm{ul | of the three he carried them down the @tairs, through the smoke and fire, his own clothes catching fire and he re- | eelving burns which will mark him for |, Age. * Policeman’s Herole Work. Not disabled, however, he returned, ‘and on the fourth floor he found five grown persons who were locked in a ack room. Knocking the door in he tried to take them down the stairs, but now finding the ent@ hall a roaring furnace he carried them through to the @re-escape in front of the building, In the meantime ladders had been thrown against the building by Hook and Ladder Companies Nos. 14 and 23, jamd the dozens of tenants who had found the front fire-escapes were cary led down the ladders to the street by bhe frmen, Wireman William D.

MORRIS PARK RACE TRACK, May 21.—There was a battle of millionaires this afternoon at Morris Park im the ‘third race, when Leonidas, carrying the colors of W. C.

When the others entered for the third race were scratched and the representa- tives of the stables of the two men of the turf between whom on the turf, as in business, there is a feud, were left as the only starters, the crowd became enthusiastic, Jt was Whitney against eKene. On the track es in business each side has its following, and the crowd was evenly matched as to its choice. The feeling was epparent in the ring, where the men Instéad of passing up their money on Leonidas or Palm Bearer gave It over with the remark to put it on the Whitney horse or on the Keene animal In the club-house, on the lawn an in tho paddock there seemed to be a divi- sion of patrons of the turf.

John Heffernan, Who Was Murdered on the Lawn in Front of the Ardsley Casino on Sunday Night Last, Made Four Statements, in Each of Which He Implicated a Prominent Member of the Colony. IDENTIFICATIONS ARE DECLARED TO BE DEATH RAVINGS OF VICTIM, Jealousy Suggested as a Motive for the Crime —The Murderer Could Easily Have Se- cured Another Hat After Losing His Own and Joined the Party Who Hurried to Render Succor to the Dying Man. The name of a prominent member of the Ardsley Couatry Club is who was shot and killed on the grounds of the club last Sunday night. Members of the club and villagers have <nown the name since the night of ” the tragedy, but strenuous efforts are being made to keep it from the public because of the wealth and prominence of the man accused, Ba it is known that Heffernan, in his dying me: -onts, accused the matt four times. Concerning the method of accusation there is a mass of co A=" tradictory testimony, but the fact that the cuspect is a member of the club “a er? and a resident of the colony is undisputed.

Probably the man best qualified to tell what happened as Heffernan was Somerville Jaffray, a member of the Ardsley Club, who has a villa opposite the gate of the grounds.
