Among lhe injured were Ove firemen who were in a fourth- Upor haiconv balcony when when it it fell fell with with them. them. The email number of men among the killed and injured was due to the fact that moat of the men who lived in the buildings, following the Attorney street custom In hot weather, were asleep on the roof, while but few of the women and children were there. Those on the roof were unable to escape by descending through the burning building, and made their way to aafety over ■ neighboring roofs. Meanwhile the members of their fami lies who had remained in their rooms found escape cut off and panic reigned throughout the structure. The-Are started about 3 o’clock in the morning, and there was much, de lay in sending in an alarm, although tbe district is one of tbe most thickly populated in the crowded Blast Side of New York. When the firemen reached the scene some of the tenants were jumping from the windows and from the ends of the fire-escapes that reached only to the second floors. Others were crouching In the smoke In the small rooms and narrow halls. The- fire Is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a lamp that had been left to light the hall on the sceond floor, and the sleeping tenants were not aroused until the hallway was ablaze and escape thiough the building cut off. The Are was soon extinguished and the search for the dead begun. Most of the dead were found on the two upper floors. While the search of the building was going on four firemen were at work on a fourth-floor balcony when it gave way. Another fireman on the balcony floor above waa carled down and was prob ably fatally Injured. The other four were badly hurt, but will recover. Leon Sober, owner of the building; Morris Levine, the agent, and Henry Breitman, the superintendent, were ar rested today and were charged with criminal negligence. NARKING THE BOUNDARY. How the international Boundary Is Being Indicated. MASTER OF THE MINE By Robert Buchanan CHAPTER XXX. "Jlugh, my lad’!” zaiJ my onci«, •tratching out bis banda. 1 waded through th« w<ter till I camo close to him. So loud was the thunder on every side of us, that we had to shout at each other in order to be heard; and even our shouts sounded like mere whis pers, though we were 00 close together. I took a*light from my hat, and reach ed out of the water, looking into the young master’s face. It was ghastly pale, but there was a mark on the tem ple, so of blood. I put my hand upon his heart, aud discovered that it Waa faintly beating. “He lives still,” I said; then, without more parley, I disengaged myself from the rope, and proceeded to make it fast to tbe »euselee man. As I did SO, the water almost swept me away, but I held on to the rock and kept my place. When the rope was firmly secured under George Redruth’s armpits, 1 shook him sharply, and, to my joy, he opened hie .eyes, par tially recovering from his torpor. Then I touched the rope and pointed upward, making signs that he was to be drawn up. He seemed scarcely to Understand; but, lifting him in my arms, I placed hip> in position, and then tugged three times, as a signal for the men to haul in. There wae a momentary pause; then the rope tightened, «nd the light body began slowly to ascend,. Still, waist-deep in the sea, I watched ft journey upward ■—lax and loose as a dead thing, now rasping against the damp walla, now quivering and turning round and round, till it passed the first platform. Far, far above it, I saw the faint gleam from tbe spot Where the men were gathered. At last it disappeared from sight, and I knew that, if life lasted, George Redruth was saved! Then I clambered on the ledge beside my unde, who waa still lying in the same position, with hia head leaning back against the dripping wall. I took his hand* in-mrtre,'ahd pressed them eagerly. As I did so, I saw, to my horror, that the breast of his mining shirt was aatur- ater with blood, that his face was ghast ly white, and that there was on hia lipa “Are yoa hurt?” I said, with my lipa close to bia ear. *- “I doubt my back be broke. A lump o’ rock fell on me as I were carrying young master here." Gently and tenderly, I secured the rope arojind him, but he moaned with pain as T raised him to launch him Up ward. As the rope tightened, he uttered a cry of agony. However, i( wae too" late tp avoid the risk, and it wae the laet chance. Supporting him in my arma aa ‘long as possible, I saw him drawn upward. When bia full weight fell upon the rope bis agony grew terrible, and I think he fainted away; for be hung in the air like a dead man. 1 watched him riae slowly. 1 The rope stood the test, and he was drawn safely up the abyss. After a long Interval, during which I waited in sick ening terror, with the waters thunder ing and the rocks quaking around mo, the rope again desceaded. I-secured it under my arm-pits, and, giving the eig- ual, waa drawn upward. -Wildly and joyfully, tbe men eurround- •d. almost klstlnv ma In their ranture at my reappearance. I looked around for George Redruth. He had recovered from his faintness, they said, and had been helped by two of the men up to the mouth of the mlue. But lying on the platform, his heed supported on Michael Penmaur’s knee, was my uncle, white and bleeding, like a man wboee time had come. I knelt by his Bide, and took hie hand. Ho looked up into my face; add I saw that his eyes were filmy and dim. The air of the mine, even up there, wee fetid and foul, and I saw that ho breathed with difficulty. “Hugh, my led!” he uM, faintly. “Come close—I wont to whisper to ’eo. Cen you forgive me?" “Forgive you?” I cried, greet!/ moved. “What have I to forgive ’ “Listen, lad, and I’ll toll ’oof’ "Yet,” I answered, fairly sobbing. “Put down your hesd and listed. I be dying, sure enough, and afore I die I want to ha’ your forgiveness. They would ha’ hung ’ee, lad, for what I did. 'Twu I that killed the overseer!” I had guessed aa much, but when the truth came from my uncle’s own lipa, I started in horror. He clutched my hand, aa if fearing that I would shrink Parties from the Coast-and Gpodetlc Survey arp now at work in connection with similar bodies from Canada In marking the Alaakan boundary line according to the determination of the tribunal which met in London last Summer, it will take several years to complete the work, for the physical difficulties in the way are enormous, says the New York Evening Post. Some of the country is so boggy that it can be properly covered only when the ground is frozen, while for most of the rest of it, especially the mountain section, only a few months in the Summer are available. In addi tion,there is a considerable stretch for which no determination was made by the Alaskan tribunal, as noted in these dispatches a year ago. It passes through a piece of mountain country of no seeming vtilue, even remotely, to either nation. Until sometntng «nmw to make the land worth something, which is rather improbable, no at tempt will be made to apply to It the principles agreed upon at the tribunal. In certain respects boundary mark- erp have a harder task than any class of workers who push through the unbroken wilderness. The civil engineer who lays out a railroad line is on the lookout for the easiest posible course. The route which would have the fewest difficulties foi him to travel over would have th» fewest obstacles for railroad. When he comes into sight of a region which is impassable by all human standards he steps one side and looks for the next best stretch of country. With the boundary-marker this is different. He has to follow the marching orders of the treaty which he is to execute, and no matter where the line which it describes tn degrees, minutes and sec onds of earth's measurements lies, he is expected to follow. This makes his task one of the most adventurous man has to perform. He has to carry boats, prarle wagons, mountain-climb ing mules and a great variety of appli- ancea for swinging chasms, scaling ledges and crossing streams. His party must also keep communication “ 'Twere all on account o’ my Annie, open with a base of supplies, almost my poor little lace.

Vienna, Sept. 7.—Although the No voe Vremya la a newspaper of eratic tendencies, its reported statement that upon the fall of Port Arthur Russia will make peace wlb Japan has at tracted attention in diplomatic circles here. It is regarded as not out of the question that Rusia will be ready to make peace at once, thereby sparing the country the financial strain and political danger of another campaign. This may become a matter of earnest consideration with the Czar and the more enlightened of his advisers. Sent to Protect Missionaries. mat that made me murdering mad.

Looking back at it all now, after a lapae of eo many years, it still seems sn In credible thlnp, unreal and Visionary; but raising my eyea from the paper whereon these linea are written, I aee beside me the sweet assurance that it Is true. Ant flush of my new joy I almost forgot ths sorrow in mj poor horns. But when I quitted my darling, and joined the little proceaaion which followed my poor uncle acroaa ths heath, I reproached myself for having felt so happy. Tbe miners had procured a rude atretcher, often used when accidents took . * place in the mine, and the dead body wae laid upon it, with a cloak thrown lightly over it, to bide the piteoue diefigured face eet in ita aad gray hair; but one hand hung uncovered, and thia hand An nie held, aa wo walked alowly homeward, four of the men carrying the load.

Timo and Death have healed all thoee wounds; to spesk of them io to open them again. A year after tbe flooding of ths mins and ths death of John Pendragodr I mar- Had Madeline Graham. The ceremony took' piece quietly in' London, whither we had gone together; and when it wed over we epent a brief honeymoon abroed. One spring morning, tn a hotel by the lake of Geneva, I read In the paper an announcement thet filled my heart with surpriae and pain. It waa an advertise ment of the approaching sale by auction of Redruth House, St. Gurlott’s, Oorn- wall. A short time before this the mining compsny had passed into liquidation, and I knew that George Redruth waa a ruined man. Little or no communication had paeeed between the cousins, but, when the crash came, Madeline, with my full consent and sympathy, had written portion of her fortune for George Red ruth's use snd benefit. This offer had been refused. Tbe next thing we had heard waa that mother and eon were living together in London, and eloaely > following on that had come the newe of tbe mother's death, an event which filled my darling with no little dletreas. To the last Mrs. Rodruth had refused to forgive her niece, whom she unjuetly hold re sponsible for -all the miefortuune which had fallen upon her eon. I showed my darling the newspaper, and wo forthwith, determined to journey doWn to Cornwall. Thue it happened that, about a week later, we arrived In St.Gurlott'a, where we found Annie and my aunt ready to receive ue at the old cottage- I then aacertainod that George Redruth had left England, for America, wherb he intended to remain. Annie, who wah my InformAnt, told me that before leaving the village ne had sought her out to soy farewell. “And, oh, Hugh,” ahe eried, “he eeked for my fprglveneaa, and I forgave him, with all my heart. I think, If-I had wished; it, he would here taken mo with him aa hie wife.” “You did not wiehJtJ” She shook her head sadly. Within another year a fresh company was formed for the mine, with Hugh Trelawney, Esq., as projector and chief owner; large loan were expended in the improvemente which, if carried out. would long before have saved the con cern; the sea waa gently persuaded to yield up poeseaalonj and before long the old mine wae flouriahing proeperoualy, a source of prosperity to all concerned in It, and of bleaaing to tbe whole popula tion. Another fact remalna to be chronicled. We bought Redruth Houae, and it be came our borne. There my annt and Annie joined ua, dwelling happily with ua, till, in due season, my aunt died. An nie lived on, and etill lives, a pensive, gracious woman, full of pne overshadow ing memory, and devoted to our chil dren.
