From Chattanooga Time.
Major King, United States engi-

improvement, was asked by a TINES
reporter yesterday what would be the
effect Of the failure Of the river and
harbor bill. He stated that.it would
delay the work probably eighteen
months. unless special appropri,-
ton was secured III Decen er. Of
this, however, there is little hope.
He says there is now about $4,000
unexpended from the last appropria-
ton. Reductions will be madejin the
free, and it Is thought the work can
90 ahead until May or June. There
are some unexpended amounts for
the Coos. aud Cumberland rivers,
and they viii receive attention when
the work at Muscl5 Shoals ceases. A
small force will be kept at the latter
works to protect them, but regular
operations vii c2ase early ia the sun

A PANIC IN THE FLAMES.
NARROWING SCENES AT A FIRE
IN NEW YORK.

Operators in a Mandatory of Artificial
Flowers Join in a Mad Rush for Life
One of the PrOprietors Suffocated to
Death While Trying to Calm the EN-
ploYes.
NEW YORK, May pa fire occurred
this morning in the building No, 100 Green
street, and the upper part of the house
was speedily in flames. Richard ].
Guildan carries on the manufactorv of
artificial leaves and glass fruit in the
building, on every floor of which num-
Der of men and women were at work.
No time was given those in the two up
per stories to escape by the stairway.
and simultaneous rush was
made for the windows and roof.
The scene and excitement are in
describable. Shrieking women and
men, maddered, by fright, crowded
every avenue of escape, struggling for
their lives. Assistance from without
could not be rendered. In few minutes
after all was over and those who could
had found safety on the roofs of adjoining
buildings by perilOus climbing, distress
ing rumOrs of numbers having been left
in the burning house TO perish, flew from
mouth to mouth. A woman whose name
was not tascertained was carried out uncon-
scious, sutfocated by the smoke. A police
officer made his way to burning room on
the second floor and brought out the corpse
OF child burned to death. The insen-
sible woman was taken to the hospital,
but died on the way. The firemen sue
ceeded in eXtinguishing the flames in half
an hour. The upper part of the house
was Quilted.
A later investigation proves that only
one life was lost by the fire, that of the
sutfocated woman, Mrs. Louisa Guildan,
proprietress of the mandatory OF artifi-
cial leaves. She was a widow. The child
that was counted as one of the victims by
the police was carried out of the adjoining
mousse IN the confusion. 1t had died yes
terday. Mrs. Guildan was 20 years old,
ana lost her life while giving the alarm
of fire to the people in the upper part of
the house.
