a LATER REPORT.
Not More Than Dozen Persons Sup
posed 10 Have Perished.

BROOKLYN, May 5.-The buildings in the
rear of % Atlantic street, in which the disas
trous fire occurred this morning, have long
been n source of solicitude to firemen. owing
to their peculiar construction. They take in
the entire block with the exception of about
one hundred feet on State street between
Columbia place and Hicks street, and have
three large wings, which extend TO within n
few feet of a row of tenements on At
lantic street The buildings were Occupied
by twenty small manufacturers, and the
number of persons employed therein is
stated to be about five hundred in all. The
buildings are four stories high and were
erected twenty seven years ago. The
woodwork burned like tinder. Owing
10 the general infamable character of
the structure, there was hardly any chance
for escape. The fire is now believed to have
been caused by the overturning of the boilers
of the soap factory on the second floor.
which were upset by the settling of the
building when one of the jacks supporting
the roof broke.
At the scene of the disaster all is confusion
The ruins are still smouldering and the
work of searching for bodies is carried on
with much difficulty. Crowds of people
have gathered IN the vicinity of the burned
buildings, watching the progress of the
turns it is now believed the number of lives
lost will not amopnt 10 more than n Dozen
This comparatively small loss of life, con
slderIng the number of persons in the build
ing at the time. Is surprising
Detective DAILY tonight arrested Frank w
Miller. hOuse-mOver residing at 99s Bergen
street, on complaint of Coroner Menniger
for criminal carelessness in improperly snp-
porting the girders and posts in the house AT
% Atlantic street, thereby causing the walls
TO fall and setting fire TO the building. caus-
ing many deaths.
The engineer employed in the buildings
was buried IN the ruins. His body has been
recovered. All the injured. about twelve in
number, were cared for at the Long Island
hospital. Three bodies found in the ruins
this afternoon are still at the station honse
awaiting identification. When they are
identified IT IA possible that the number of
missing may be further reduced
The work Of raising the roof and strength
enIng the walls Of one of the buildings was
going on when the accident occurred.

The IRON Sfrike.

PITTsBURG, June 2.-The iron strike
situation remains unchanged. Nosignatures
to the scale have. been obtained since yes
terday, and both sides are anx-
iously awaiting developments Joseph
D. Weeks, secretary of the Manufacturers
association was in receipt of his daily tele-
grams from the iron centers Of the country
at 1 o'clock. He reported no further
signers by the manufacturers out
side of Pittsburg. At Youngstown
the contest is more exciting than
in Pittsburg. All the mills there and
throughout the Mahoning valley, with the
exception of one at Sharon, are closed. The
manufacturers send word that they are
firm. They will not sign the present scale,
while On the other hand the work
men OF that section are as solid as
rock. Notwithstanding these reports
Of determination coming from both sides
and from various sections, there are MANY.
perhaps a majority of those directly inter-
ested, who believe the strike win
be of short duration Never in
the history of the association
have he differences been so
slight. Concessions have been made on
both sides, and it is generally believed with
but little trouble the whole affair, which is
now the cause of about sixty Thousand
worlmen being idle, will be amicably
settled

BlownUp With Giant Powder.

DENVER, Col, June AT an early
hour this morning the residents of the
western portion of the city were startled
by loud explosion. Investigation
showed that barn few feet
from the residence of G. R. Davis
was blown up with giant powder or dyna-
mite. Some months ago the employees of
Davis mill asked an increase of wages
which was refused and the men struck. New
men were employed, and since then the
strikers have boycotted Davis, and made
numerous threats. Two days ago five
sticks of giant powder were found Oh the
Denver & Rio Grande track near the city.
The conclusion which would have been
caused by the train passing over it would
have blown the train to atoms. Several
other attempts to blow up property have
been discovered recently.
