With Marked Vigor. New York, March 18. Out of the disastrous result of the tire of Feb ruary last at the factory of the Brooklyn Chair Company on Waverly avenue have developed many damage suits that are being pushed with prom ising vigor against the company aa lessee of the factory building, and against the leasora It la estimated that the suite tq which theae people are rendered liable amount In the ag gregate to more than 1 100.000. Tho defendants In the suits Include -.. nf h nromlnent families of VIIV V. ., Brooklyn. The factory was owned by tile late Mary E. Cowperthwait and. as part of her estate has reverted to her husband. Frank H. Cowperthwait who now resides at 1260 Pacific street and to their son, Fred 8. Cowperth wait who resides In New Jersey. It Is asserted on good authority that the Cowperthwalts, the lessors of the Brooklyn Chair factory, are the larg est stockholders of the company, which leased the factory. This la sworn to by persons who attended the coroner's Inquiry after the fire. One of the Jury men, It Is said, questioned William J. Conway, treasurer of the chair com pany, and the latter testified Uat such was the fact. The elder Cow perthwait admlta his connection with the company aa stockholder. Th counsel for nearly a doaen the victims of the fire, Herbert of N. 15 Warbasse, of 189 Montague street, has now pending some of the most Inter esting cases against the Cowperth walts and the chair company. In four of his cases summonses have been served to Frank II. Cowperthwait Fred S. Cow;perthwalt and W. W. Breck, secretary of the company. Mr. Warbasse estimates that the aggre gate of the suits he Is bringing will amount to nearly 175,000. The cases will be brought Into the supreme court since the Brooklyn Chair Company wus Incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. Emll Pfrunder, as father . of the young girl, Lizzie A. Pfrunder; who was burned to death In the fire, and as administrator of her affairs, hav ing been so appointed by Judge Church on February 27 last, is bringing suit pr 820,000. Miss Pfrunder's case Is one of the most pitiful of all those con nected with the disaster. She was one of the most populur students of one of the Brooklyn business schools and ias on the point of graduation when she met her death. Two suits have resulted from Inter nal Injuries received at the fire by Albert Dordon, the 15-year-old son of Saturno Dordon. One for Injuries to his son Is a 810,000 sutf; the other, for 85000, Is for the loss of his son's Ser vices. ' , ' Another case for 85000 Is that of Adam Brausch, who was badly injured at the fire. Lawyer Warbasse has at his com mand the harrowing tales of his clients who struggled In the burning building to escape by the one ladder. He Is confident that the company Is liable, and will use, the fact of alleged In adequate facilities for egress from the building as one of the grounds for the pleading. It Is said that the chajr the larger demands will be fought out before a Jury. Those Intimately connected with the Brooklyn Chair Company will say lit tle about the stress that Is brought to bear upon their finances. The com pany's offices are at present located at 82 Washington avenue. It Is said there that th company Is to continue Its business,' and, Is now looking for a suitable place td open shop again. The Cowperthwalts, Frank H. and Fred 8, hints to the contrary notwith standing, will probably not be bank rupt by their contingent obligations. It Judgment 1s found against them as owners and lessors of the factory to the company In which they themselves are the principal stockholders, how ever, there Is, of course, little doubt but that they will be no light losers by the consummation of the damage pro ceedings against them. Brigands Disperse Russians. New York, March 19. A band of mounted Manchurlan brigands has swooped down upon a Russian outpost near Pan La Chan, a town near Port Arthur, says a dispatch to the Ameri can from New Chwang. For a time the Russians withstood the attack, but finally were forced to retreat, leaving . ml a two moxtros on me new. ne saswn ties Are not stated. The Russian flag, which has ben flying on the public building at New Chwang, has been hauled down and replaced by the French emblem. Mexlean Consul General. San Francisco March' 18.

He comes here as successor to Rafael de Zayas Eudlciue. - Sales Strengthen Market. , There has been a continued free spec ulative movement in pinks with sales up to 65 cents for export to Manila. There am reports of "0 cents having been paid on Puget sound which Infor mation has been conflmed to us by a reliable party In this city. Sales the past week were at 50 cents by thej. K. Armsby Co. with the usual restrictions and 60, 62 1-2 65 and 67 1-2 cents by others. There is a slow Inquiry for reds with one interest that held at 8115 now holding at 81.20 and those that held at $1,20 to 81,22 1-2 asking 81-25 with the Armsby Co. asking 8130. The last estimate made by a, brokerage firm of pinks In first hands were 15.00Q cases, since then there have been free sales. If this is anywhere near correct for the Trade Journal Is not In position to verify it then there has been a most remarkably heavy demand. The spec ulative movement In pinks was noted by this paper In January last and con sisted of a syndicate picking up all the cheap pinks obtainable on Puget sound. After securing these then all that could be had at a slight advance were taken and the taking of these out of the mar ket strengthened the views of lndepnd- RECEIVER IS APPOINTED Government Contractor Becomes Involved in Frauds That Work His Undoing LOSES HONOR THEN BUSINESS Chasing A Myth.

That is much the case with The Old Homestead,'" the old gentleman said with a twinkle in his eye. "Really.
