In New York, May 25.—Two persons were killed and three seriously injured in a fire which was started shortly aft er 4 o’clock this morning in the four- story and basement brownstone build ing, at 149 West Twenty-third street. Several persons narrowly esoaped death. The dead are: Mrs. Catherine Mossway, 38 years old; died at hospital from suffocation and burns. Beatrice Mossway, 4 years old, daughter of the former, suffocated in her room. The injured are: Mrs. Mary C. or Carrie Bowles, boarding-house keeper at 28 Hollis street, Boston, dangerously hurt; Miss MacDonald, slightly burned on the face; F. 8. Phaps, slightly burned on the face. While u tenant named Lamont was crawling the narrow sill to reach the adjoining house, the body of a woman struck a large sign which hung on the outside and to which he clung for sup port. The sign was torn from its fas tenings and fell with a crash to the street. The woman was Mrs. Bowles, who had precipitated herself from the third floor to the street below when she found that egress from the house by way of the stairs was choked by the flames. She was picked up and taken to the hospital. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is believed that a belated tenant lit a match in the hallway to see his way and carelessly tossed the still burning match away. The fire started at the foot of the stairs, and the light wall acted as a flue to carry the flames to the roof instantly. AT MARK H A N N A 'S FURNACE. A N u m b e r of W o rk m e n Seriously In N e w c a s t l e . H urt Newcastle, Pa., May 25.—This morn ing, the big Rosena furnace, in this city, owned by Senator Mark Hanna and ex-Senator Cameron, let go, and the next instant a heavy volume of coke, iron ore and coal came crashing through the roof of the casting house, burying in the neighborhood of 30 men under the debris. Manager Reis was taken out with skin hanging in shreds from his hands and arms, and his legs were terribly burned and bruised. A number of others were badly burned and bruised. A second accident of the day hap pened about 80 minutes later. It was a cave-in at the big 70-foot cut of the Newcastle Traction Company, which is making a track to the new Cascade Park. Michael Kurdv was buried un der at least 75 feet of sand, gravel, clay and rocks, and was dead when taken out. Peter Herinsky was terribly crushed about the shoulders and hips, but will probably live. D ro w n ed N ear K ltzv ille. Ritzville, Wash., May 25.—Coming as it did upon the heels of the tragic suicide of Mrs. Velirs Yav, the sensa tional drowning this afternoon of Dan Sinclair, one of Ritzville’s most promi nent citizens, in Cow creek, has given the staid old residents of this town a shock that they will long remember. Sinclair, in company with five young men, started at 9 A. M. for a general day’s outing, their destination being about 12 miles from town. Upon ar riving at the creek the party ate lunch, and all went in bathing. Sinclair, who was unable to swim, had waded out a few yards from shore, and accidentally stepped off into a deep and treacherous pool, and, before his excited compan ions could rescue him, had sank for the last time. The news was brought to this place, and everything possible was done to recover the body, but with out avail. Giant powder will be used tomorrow in an effort to raise the body. Sinclair was 24 years of age, and leaves an aged father and mother to mourn his loss. F ig h t at a R oadhouse. Denver, May 25.—One man was killed and another fatally wounded at Joe Lewe’s roadhouse, about five milea south of the city, at 6:45 this evening. Lewe has had trouble with Jacob Kis- thard, a neighbor, over the water in an irrigating ditch in which both are in terested. Today Kisthard and his two sons were working on the ditch, when some of Lewe’s employes went to the ditch to protect his interests. With them went some of his guests, includ ing Samuel H. McCall, a well-known gambler, and John McKenna. A quar rel ensued, during which Samuel Kis thard drew a pistol and shot McCall and McKenna. Kisthard came to Denver and surrendered to the police. McKenna is not dead, but cannot re cover. M u rd e r O t m C ard*. Pittsburg, May 25.—A fight over cards today at Snowden, a mining town, resulted in the murder of Alliert Grier by George Douglass, colored. A game of poker was in progress, when Douglas* was bluffed by James Smith into laying down three qneens againut a bobtail flash. This enraged hitn and a fight ensued. Douglass then went to his house and returned with a gnn. The crowd rushed indoors to escape him, and he fired through the door, hitting Albert Grier and killing him instantly. Douglass fled, pursued by a crowd, but was captured in the woods, and they were about to lynch him when officers rescued.

Magone, Charles Montgomery, Ed Long and William Rictor, all of Oregon City, are lodged in the city jail, charged with the crime of its removal. Montgomery lias made a confession, implicating Ma gone and the other men. The body was buried at Magone’s Park, a well-known landmark on the Willamette river, a mile and a half below Oregon City. Its hiding place was cleverly concealed by moss ami leaves, and it would never have been discovered had not Montgomery weak ened and led the officers to it. The remains of Mr. Ladd were den in the ground about 80 yards from tiie river. The spot was wild and for bidding, so that there was but little chance of any one ever happening acorss it. A grave about tlireo feet deep had been excavated, into which the body, wrapped in burlap, had been place«! and covered over. No effort had been made to provide n coffin or other like protection, an«! the covering of dirt was very tliiu to keep from detec tion the body beneath. When seen, the body was in a remarkable state of preservation, considering the time it had been interred.

London, May 25.—The Athens cor respondent of the Times says that ow ing to the disquietude caused by the presence in the city of large bodies oi volunteers, the government has hastily recalled the force of gendarmes sent to Arta, and will take measures to deport these dangerous allies to their various countries at the earliest possible «late. Most of the volunteers making up the Berthel column are anarchists, ami the government has dealt wisely in refus ing to allow them to come here, al though they insiste«! on the privilege. The government sent them from Arta to Seavarda, ami there disarmed them, with orders to leave for Italy in Greek vessels. Thereupon they began to in dulge in all sorts of excesses, and got into conflict with the inhabitants, with the result that one Italian was killeil and six were seriously wounded. Finally, after a great deal of trouble, they were sent to Bringzie, under the escort of two Greek men-of-war. Philadelphia, May 24.—Today’s ses sion of the legislative committee inves tigating the management of the state penitentiaries was sensational. Sena tor Gagerdorn, of Phiholelphia, was the star witness. He said the official reports of the prison were filled with falsehoods, and that he could prove that the treatment of many convicts had been bratal and cruel. Hu said the institution reported there were 10 insane patients in November last, anil that investigation made by him showed there were 60 at the time. Of these, lie said nine are now in insane asylums and one is dead as the result of cruel treatment at the prison. Thirty-six of the insane convicts, he said, are still in cells in the prison. Hu instanced the case of McCue, a prisoner whom he had ordered sent from the prison to the Northtown state insane asylum, and who died the next day, as allege«! hy the judge, from n beating he re ceived the night before Iiis removal. He told of another insane convict, a Kxrt>M «n o f t h e Itu liH ii* .
