man Lolley groPed his way and found there
child's body on the floor. Ho picked 1t
up and took it out. This was Abraham
Levine.
Running back to the room, Tully found
another child on the bed, where he had
evidently gone for protection, for his head
was buried in the feathers. This was Da-
vid Levine, aged 6. The little Mensen girl
was also found in this room, and she must
have RUN up stairs after she had pulled the
lamp from the table. She was on the floor,
and Fireman Dwyer picked her up uncon-
scious. When he had taken her out he
went back, and finding no one else there,
went into an adjoining room. There ]le
discovered, crouched in the corner, tvvo
children-Lewls Frank and Jacob We's-
burg. They revived little after bel ng
taken on the roof.
Fireman Guy went into front room
and stumbled over body. He picked it
up and took II to the roof. The child was
unconscious, but atterward revived. This
was Barney Frank, aged S. Fireman Cav
anaugh met Guy coming out Of the room, /,
and Guy told him there was woman in
there almost smothered. Cavanaugh groped
his way to the window, and seized the
woman, Rosie Weisberg, the mother of the
children. He carried her to the roof,
where she shortly regained consciousne ess.
She said she was preparing to jump from
the window rather than be burned.
Fireman O'Herron found body in lit
tie bedroom on the north side, and took
1t to the roof. It was that of John Frank,
aged Is. He was then unconscious, but
he recovered enough to walk down sta irs.
In the front room Fireman Foley found
Marcus Weisberg, aged 3, unconscious and
badly burned; and in the same room Fire
man Murphy found Herman Frank, un-
conscious. No more were found.
All this work by the fremen was accom-
plished in less time than it would take to tell
it. While they were at it the steamer had
subdued the flames, and after thorough
search of the room the tiremen were salts.
fed that they had rescued all the children.
Seven of the little ones, after their rescue,
became conscious and were taken to the
dwellings of friends near by. They have
inhaled smoke, however, and unhappy
results may follow. David and Abraham
Levine, and Hattie Mensen did not revive,
and they were taken to the Eldridge street
police station, and DR.. Huston was called.
He said at once that Abraham was dead,
and that David Levine and Hattie Mensen
were in dying condition. The little girl
was also badly burned, and an ambulance
was tclegraphed for and tho sufferers were
taken to Bellevue Hospital.
The work of the frcmen was heroic, and
had they been five minutes later, or delayed
The slightest in acting, all the children
would have perished. The ladder placed
against the building was burned so as to be
Useless, and when the flames made an
ordinary entrance to the burning building
one was effected through the
adjoining house.

THE OLD wORLD,s NEWS.
General IgnatieR's Mission.

General IGnatieff's Mission.
LONDON, March l2.-The Times "
Berlin dispatch says: "The conviction that
the mission of General Ignatieff will lead
to friendly arrangement is pretty general
at st. Petersburgh and Moscow, even by
those entirely unacquainted with the posi-
tion.
"This conclusion is inferred from General
Ignatieff's trip. Unless Russia were de-
sirous to avoid war, the General, IT is con-
cluded, would not have been dispatched
West, and such being the case, it is ex>
pected that the Powers will meet Russia
half way.
"There Is little doubt that Russia will
consent to demo'0olize if the Paris treaty,
which has practically ceased to exist, is
directly or Indirectly done away with.
Austria's acruiescence in some such ar
rangement is. probable, and If Austria CO.
operates, the consent Of Germany will not
be wanting"

Mr. EDIToR:-A paragraph under the above
head appeared in your issue of yesterday, and
was undoubtedly intended to cast reproach
upon "a lawyer" 1t is true that the furniture
was pat out of a house on Waterville street
Saturday by order of the court directed to
proper officer. 1t is true that the mother was
away-in Jail for resisting the police. It is
true chat the father was away-after team to
move his things, as his little girl said at the
time, and it is also true that the little girl with
two others of her friends packed all the arti-
Giles and assisted in the removal. 1t is true
that "a lawyer" has owned the property for
years, and was not seeking to get possession
under mortgage. 1t is also true that the man
had been sued out four times, and notified by
the officer to leave more than ten times, SO the
owner could remodel the store with a dwelling.
1t is also true that he has not paid dollar OF
rent for six months and owed more than one
hundred dollars rent prior to the last six
months. 1t is also true that the man was at
home in the afternoon and seen by the officer
and lawyer, and said he had no fault to find,
that he had always been treated better than he
deserved. 1t is also true that rum has made
wreck OF the family; that the little girl spoken
OF is natural lady, and is deserving of a
better and different home than the one she has
had for years; it is also true that "a lawyer"
offered her as good home as be had himself.
Now, Mr. Editor, if in the future you have
any fault to find, please give facts and names,
and oblige A LAWYER,
