A Fire Tragedy in New York City.

A calamity by which three human lives
were sacrificed, occurred in this city, yes
terday, under such circumstances that i'm
aginatiOn fails to conceive of a death more
terrible.
In SiXtieth street, between Fourth and
Madison avenues, there is row of four
story brown-stone dwellings, of which
No. "a is the most magnificent and costly
IN It's fittings. 1t was occupied by Mr..
Jacob Stiner, Hebrew, and millionaire
tea merchant, the senior of wholesale
tea firm composed of himself and sons,
the firm having branch establishments in
many parts of the city. 1t is no senseless
figure to say that their residence was
palatial, it having been newly furnished
about month ago in the most costly
manner at an expense of nearly 100000.
and it certainly was one of the haDdsom-
est private dwellings in the CITY. Mr..
Stiner was siXty-seven years of age, q
native Of Bavaria, but an old resident Of
New York. The other members of his
family who lived with him a. home were
Silima, his wife, aged fifty-fve; Deborah
Stiner, their daughter, aged twentv-one;
her younger sister, Flora Stiner, aged sew
enteen; and one son, Joseph Stiner, aged
twenty years. Besides the husband and
wife and three unmarried children, the
only occupants of the house in Sixtieth
street were two maid servants, Mary Ma
guire and Mary Kahn; and a man servant
named Alfred F. Schultz.
On Monday night all the family except
Mrs. Stiner, went to an evening party at
the house of some friends in the neigh
borhood, Mrs. Stiner remaining at home,
being very corpulent woman, and hav-
ing been confined to her room for some
time, suffering from dropsical complaint
it is said. 1t was very late before the
father and children returned home. and it
was one or two o'clock in the morning.
probably, before the family retired to
their rooms for the night, little thinking
of the terrible fate which was to DESTROY
three of their number before another day
dawned. Shortly before six O'Clock yes
terday morning a Waterman named
fire insurance patrolman
named Fl. n. Hardy, and the keeper of a

National Board of Trade on the Transports
ton question he advocated the adoption of

that the common law afforded no adequate
remedy.

bed. On the night of the 10th, Chang became
worse, and expired suddenly about four
O'Clock on the next morning. Eng became so
terribly shocked that he raved wildly for
awhile. This attack was followed by what
seemed to be a deadly stupor, and in two
