IN THE JAWS OF DEATH.
THRILLING SCENES AT THE
BURNING OF A TENEMENT.

Panic Stricken Inmates LeapIng for Life
"A Rope of Sheets Breaks and Dashes
Down Mother and Baby-The Former
Fatally Hurt-AnOther Baby's Head
Knocked Out OF shape on a Mans
Shoulder.
NEW YORK, July 13.-The inmates of
the four-story tenement house at No. 2l95
Second avenue were aroused this morning
by an alarm Of fire. Flames broke out in
the basement, and communicating with
two dumb walters and air shafts in the
rear Of the building, as well as the stair
way, soon reached every floor, and filed
the whole house with dense clouds of
smoke. The terror of the inmates at being
aroused from their sleep and finding all
means Of egress cut off, as the building
was not provided with fire escapes. was
lndescribable, while a heavy thunder
storm, which was raging without. in
creased their fright. The windows in the
front Of the house appeared to be the only
way of escape.
LEAPING TO AN AWNING.
A family occupying the second floor
We're the first to make theirNgay out upon
an awning of a grocery store which Occu-
pied the first floor, whence they were
taken by neighbors who came to their as
sistance.
The wife Of James Morris, who lived
on the third floor, leaped from a window
to the awning, and rolled down into the
street, receiving severe injuries. Her
husband threw the baby after her. and il
was caught by neighbor as it dropped
from the awning uninjured. Morris him
self made his way down in safety.
MOTHER AND BABY DASHED DOWN
TOGETHER.
John McMahon, who lived on the top
floor, attempted to lower his wife and
baby from a window by means of sheets
tied together, but the fabric gave way
before they had reached the third floor.
and the woman and child came crashing
down upon the awning, which broke
beneath their combined weight. Mrs.
McMahon fell upon the sidewalk, and was
picked up unconscious. Her skull was
fractured and her arm broken, besides
receiving severe internal injuries. She
will probably not survive the shock. The
infant lodged upon the awning, and,
strange to say, was found to be unhurt.
McMahon succeeded in getting down
safely by clamDering from window to
window.
JUMPING FROM THE SECOND STORY.
Louis Louden and his wife. who occupy
rear rooms on the second floor, jumped
from window into the yard below. Mrs.
Louden fell upon some stone steps and
broke her left arm in two places. Jacob
Belz,. butcher, wrapped his baby in
a blanket and dropped it from a
third-story window into the arms of
man standing in the yard. The
child's head struck the shoulder of the
man, and was knocked out of shape by
the conclusion. Belz and wife escaped
by means Of ladder provided by neigh
bors. Owing to delay in sending out an
alarm, everyone was out of the house
when the fire department arrived. In
tense Indignation is felt against the own
er of the building for failing to supply it
with suitable fire escapes, and complaint
will be made to the Bureau of Buildings.

dricl1s' Speech as Unfair.
WASHINGTON, July 10. Secretary
Chandler has written long letter to
Thomas A. Hendricks in reply to state
ments made by the latter in his speech at
indianapolis last night with regard to the
recent frauds IN the Navy Department.
The letter is in part as follows:
In your speech at indianapolis Saturday
hlght you made statements from which YOU
meant that the public should believe that it
appeared by my testimony that the frauds in
the Bureau of Medicine and Surgurv of this
department amounted during the past wear to
$9t,OOO; that was informed of some OF these
outrages q year ago; that after I was IN
termed of the frauds l disbeieved them he
cause members of Congress had recommended
a continuance OF the chief Of the bureau and
that L Iook no adequate action concerning
them. Whereupon you demanded the cIec-
ton OF President who would appoint n chief
OF the bureau who would investigate the con-
OtiOn or the books and bring all guilty parties
TO trial. To the contrary of all this / testified
that the suspected vouchers commenced as
far back as June q, 1880, although a small
voucher. was paid as late as January 25, 1884 I;
tnat while an anonymous letter, of about a
year ago, charged drunkenness upon Chief
Clerk Daniel COrrigan, which the
%RleI I OF the bureau, DR.. Phillip S.
Wales, reported to me, was not true
that had no information leading to the
frauds until December or January last: that
uettFmlheu simultaneously with beginning
the investigation to have new chief of the
bureau in the place of DR.. Wales whose term
was to expire January 26, and also a new
Chief Clerk; that great opposition to the
change was made by members of Congress.
but persisted, and DR.. Wales went out on
that date, and Mr.. Corrigan was put out
February 4, and that Investigations of the
frauds and arrests of guilty parties nave since
proceeded with due diligence. 1t is true
that | stated that recommendations

whom | found in Office when | went in April
IL, 1882, were Of such character as to fully
justify me IN believing that the affairs of his
bureau had been well administered Senator
Mcpherson. Speaker Carlisle and others who
demanded DR.. Wales reappointment were
with you in convention at Chicago, and could
have informed You that he had borne good
reputation; that the law required that the
chief of the bureau should be naval surgeon
and placed medical expenditures IN his
hands: that his was in no sense political
office but that if he had any politics he was
Democrat, and that any attempt to
make political capital out of the frauds for
which this naval surgeon, who is their inti-
mate friend, is solely responsible, would be
disingenuOus and unfair. That they did not
succeed in keeping DR.. Wales and his chief
clerk COrrigan in office is very fortunate

COLUMBUS, o., July 13.-No demonstra-
tiOn over the Democratic nominations at
Chicago were made here until Judge
Thurman arrived home last night, when
he was met az the depot by several thou
sand persons with a band and liberal
display of bandannas. There was at the
same time grand display
of fireworks all over the city.
Carriages were in waiting for himself and
the party of delegates, with flags. Be-
hind these the people fell in line with
what torches could be gathered, and most
of them bearing red handkerchiefs. The
line of march was the scene of a con-
tinuOus roar, enthusiastic demonstrations
and brilliant displays of fireworks. Upon
the arrival of the procession at ex-senator
Thurman's residence he rose in his car
riage and said:
