Application was made to-day in be half of Aimee Michel, of the Hotel St George, claiming to be the widow cf Louis Rossignot, who amageed a for- tune of more than $100,000 in “s a and & patent bang, to have the of administration granted to Claude An- toine Ross set aside and a tempo- rary administrator appointed by the Court. “How did Mr. Rossignot secure letters ef administration If there Is a widow Uving?” asked Surrogate Thomas, and his eyes opened wide an H. A. Vieu re plied “When we applied for letters of ad- ration we did not know there was , the only wife we knew hav- Im; nor that Louls Row- will, We estimated his than $0,0% and filed « proptr bond to protect [t, But when we Opened the strong box at the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company we found not $50,000 but more than $100,000 jn stocks and bonds. And we found a will, exe- cuted in 1888. It left everything to brothers and sisters In epecifis shares, but it mentioned no wife, , “We filod this will and got another ‘surprise when not one but two alleged widows came forward to claim the es- tate, and one of them spoke of second ‘will made in 1897, but vold becaude there was no attesting witnesses, One widow, Mme.

Fur alarms were sent in, and a great mass of bro apparatus and two fireboats fourht several hours to save the great aiea of property covered by the stor | age company’s buildings, Two tho: | Uiles of cotton were consumed, and atifiog and dense fumes of smoke o by squ Taree ambulances were sum-) | wralmed the firemen a tine. mioned to the stene, and the ambulance surgeons worked In relays reviving the prostrated fire-Aghters, When the blew Was pot Under contro! the lows was esti- tated at $90,000, The buildings of the storage compaiy are built in rows of eight one-story brick structures, Each building Is stored with a separate kind of mer-! chandise | | 2,000 Cotten Bales Stored. ‘The fire started In building No. 2, near the foot of Forty-fourth stree: Two days ago a cargo of 2,000 bales of cotton was piaced In No, 17, and locked in behind iron doors and shutters. No one has been in the building since then and Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle, | who early arrived with the apparaiua, responding to @ second alarm, says that! one of the bales of cotton must have) had a fire in it when placed in the| storage vaults. | All that time the fire has been smouldering and spreading to other bales. That the flames did not burs: | forth before to-day Is due to the fact | that the catton {# packed so tight ‘that, the blaze had no draught. Roundsman Broderick, a special officer aswigned to patrol the wharves near the storage warehouses, discovered the fire. Aa he passed No. 27 he noticed a tin curl of smoke push out from under an! fron shutter, A moment later a tongue of fame thrust itself out, and by the) time Broderick turned in an alarm smoke and fire was pouring from every | window. The firemen who arrived on| the first alarm saw that they had a! bluze to deal with that would necessl- tate drastic treatment.
