Twenty-Five Families Endangered by a New
YORK MOrpiOg Blaze.
Marcus Gerber and his family, consist

narrow escape from being burned to death
at their residence, No. l2I Ludlow street,
New York, Friday morning. The family
occupied part of the fourth floor in the
building, which is six story tenement.
At about half-past , o'clock Mrs. Gerber,
was awakened from sleep by hearing the
baby cry. She saw that an apartment was
in flames, and awoke her husband, who
for few moments was bewildered ty the
horror of the situation. To escape into
the hallway it was necessary for him TO
pass from the bedroom through the room
which was on fire. He picked up the child
and wrapped a shawl around its head.

to the door OF the living room leading into
the hallway, The distance he had to 90
was about three yards. They succeeded
in getting ont Of the room. Mr.. Gerber's
hair was almost burned of and his wiie's
hair was also badly Elnged. The eight
families living on the two floors above and
the three living on the same floor, who
were aroused from their slumbers by the
outcriGs OF the Gerber family, managed TO
make their way to the roof amid the
binding smoke which filled the Railways.
The eight families living on the second and
third floors and the two families living
back Of the stores on the ground floor
made their way to the street, many OF them
IN their night clothes, For a time there
was considerable excitement in the house
and panic prevailed. One of the inmates
ran to the house of engine company No.
II, at No. 81 Ludlow street, and gave the
alarm. That company extiuguished the
fire in about an hour. Mr.. Gerber's loss
is about 1900. The damage to the building
is only about 800.

SOME Of the methods employed 10y the
anti Mormons to misrepresent the
objects of their hate are illustrated by a
recent publication in their organ, the
Salt Lake Tribune, of an alleged steno-
graphic report of discourse delivered at
Juab by Bishop West on the Sunday
previous, to the effect that the bishop had
received a revelation ordering the assas-
sination of Governor Murray and gen
eral attack upon the Gentiles. Now it
is confessed that the report was an entire
fabrication, there being no foundation
whatever for it. Some Of these days the
public will determine to find out the
real truth about the Mormons and refuse
to accept the reports of those whose
