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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Portland, Or., Slay 24.—The body

from its resting place in Riverview

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«!

ceived the night before Iiis removal.
