TERRIBLE tjISkSlER.
Burning Of a House Of Refuge
in New York.
SIXTEEN PERSONS BURNT
TO DEATH.
Loss e23,OOO.-Fire Caused by n De-
feet in the Heating Apparatus.-
Statement of Asst Engi-
neeT Smith.

New York, March l. About 4 o'clock this
morning, fire broke out in the house of refuge of
the Little Sisters of the Poor, in Williamsburg, a
large four story structure with two wings. Tae
fire originated in the south wing, and before the
aged inmates were aware of its presence, the
flames had made considerable progress. A per-
feet panic was caused among the inmates, who
rushed to aud fro through the building until they
became exhausted sutfocsted from the smoke.
The police rendered valuable assistance and car
ried out number of old people who had become
unconscious.
There were Is5 old people in the building at the
time, aud in one part their egiess had been cut off
by the smoke and flames and so they went up to
the roof. Their shrcks and cries might have
been heard for blocks around. The fremen and
police succeeded in rescung all who were on the
roof but there were a number who were sutfJcated
and buried in the ruins.
Michael Cummings aged - years, threw himself
from third story and instantly killed. Jere-
miah Sullivan, aged 60, was fatally injured by
jumping from window at the same height.
AT o'clock five bodies had been taken from the
ruins. The police think not many more lives were
lost, but it was impossible to tell just how many.
cared for by friends.
The loss on the building and furniture is about
S23, 900; fully insured. The house estab-
shed several years ago and maintained by the
Catholic Little Sisters of the poor Of Brooklyn.

report
In about an ho1r we got the flames under con-
troll and then without moments delay set to
work to look after the people reported As missing.
la few moments my men were Mortified by find
ing two dead bodies in bedroom the first
floor, stretched on the beds, which were half con-
sumed and so much burned to be beyond rec
ignition.
Three dead bodies were found in the Gel
lar, directly underneath the bedroom. The
wretched victims were covered with the flooring
and debris along with which they had been pre-
cpitated into the cellar when portion of the
flooring gave way.
Ascending to the second floor two more dead
bodies were discovered, These were partially
dressed showing that the unfortunate men had
been making an effort to escape.
On the top floor the most horrible discovery was
made as here we found no less than nine dead
bodies, many of them being burnt almost to
crisp and beyond recognition. There were
eighteen beds IN this room and if thew were all
occupied it is mystery how any of the occupants
escaped, as all means Of exit must have been cut
Oft a few moments after the fire broke out. 1t is
very difficult to determine the origin Of the
fire but my Opiuion is that it was caused by some
defect in the heating apparatus.

London, March 7. The Pail Mall Gazette cor

reports that five hundred inhabitants of the West
Mama Islands, group lying at the south Of Ice
land, and belonging to Denmark, are probably
dying of starvation. The fisheries there last
year were unsuccessful and the inhabitants fear

winter, sent to Iceland asking for supplies: Ac-

Mr. EDIToR:-I Notice a communication IN
your issue of to-day, the signature of IRE
form" From the startling evidences Of human
deprayity therein contained, it would seem to be o.
the greatest moment for the self styled Reformer
to reform to such degree, that he can, when he
attempts to write communications to paper. tell Il
little truth. All his hypocritical cant and whine
about "ram sympathizers and those protesting
better things" and Insulting the dignity of the
court is for a base purpose. To wit: to keep
alive strife and promote discord without any
foundation in fact. Abuse and cowardly unruth
is told in the article referred to about Herbert
Blake, Esq. The pistol scene he describes WV
idly is fabrication of his own disorded brain :;
no such occurrence took place, the pistol was in
fact purchased long previous, and when it was TAX
en- from the place where it had been left for
pairs Mr.. 3. intended to return in thirty minutes
for West Waterville. The statement that Mr.. b.
was arrested for an attempt to use pistol upon A.
Z. Carr, is without the least shadow of truth to
substantiate it. Mr.. Il. was arrested first for ad
d. cssing his associate counsel in open court. And
again on complaint of Trial Justice Woodward,
that he (Woodard) feared b. intended to do him
some bodily injury; another false and malicious
statement that should be contradicted which Mr.
Reformer makes, is that "Mr. Blake promised to
treat Henry Woodward civilly in the future" No
such promise made, no uncivil treatment did
bis honor MIR. w E, receive. 1t is to be hoped that
when next MIR. Reformer attempts to write for the
paper it will be when he has really reformed in deed
and in truth and to such degree that he give
semblance of truth. FAIR PLAY.
