FEARFUL CALAMITY.
Burning OF a Frame House in Chicago
Eight Persons Perish iu the Flames

CHICAGO, June T.
Eight persons were smothered and burned
to death in the frame houses Nos. 73l and
733 South Canal street. Chicago. at O'Clock
this morning. The names of the dead are
Michael Murphy aged 40, Mrs. Murphy, aged
35, Annie Murphy aged 8, Nellie Murphy
aged IL, Mrs. Mary Durkin aged 80, Patsy
LAWN, aged 4, John Durkin an infant, and
William Hand aged 6S. The fire broke out
in the cellar of No. 733 South Canal street
1t spread with frightful rapidity and soon
both structures were enveloped in a mass of
flame. Bothlhou were filled with smoke
before any of the occupants were aroused.
Many of the sleepers were doubtless smoth-
cred in their beds. The flames, following
rapidly after the smoke, burned the bodies
until they were unrecognizable. The lower
floor of No. 733 was occupied by John
Raleigh, Jr. His wife was awakened by the
smoke and she aroused her husband, who
hastily donned few articles of clothing,
threw up a window, caught his wife in his
arms and threw her through the flames to the
street. Her night dress caught fire but with
great presence of mind she extinguished the
flames with her hands and lent assistance to
her husband in saving the lives of their tw o
small children. In the meantime the fire
had gained additional headway. Raleigh was
unable to put the children out of the same
window and so catching the babies in his
arms he ran up stairs and jumped with them
from the second story. The second floor Of
1888 was occupied by the Dunkin and Murphy
families. No member of either of these
families escaped. The fremen, in searching
the ruins of the house, came upon most har-
rowing scenes. Some of the victims were
lying in half burned beds, and others, who
were awakened before death came, were
clutching each other in groups on the floor.
They were all evidently overcome by smoke
before any effort could be made to escape.
Mr.. Hand occupied tine upper floor with
his wife. children and father. They were
aroused by the smell of smoke. The young
man caught up the children and jumped from
the second story window with them, after
assisting bic wife TO the street He wanted
to help his father down but the old man in
sisted on his jumping with the children. The
aged and decrepid form of the old gentleman
was seen at the window a moment and then
disappeared just as he was about to leap. The
raging FIRE prevented an effort for his rescue.
The lower floor of number 731 was occupied
by a man named Mcclure who kept grocery
store. All of his family were saved. 1t is
believed that the fire was the work of an in
cendiary. 1t was fret seen by q watchman
in brewery near by, who started at once to
alarm the occupants. When in the rear OF
the burning houses he met man who said
"There is . fire; you had better turn an
alarm" The man disappeared up the alley.
The watchman could not identity him it be
should see him again. This 10 the third time
the place has been Get on fire.

Morrill, said if the motion should not pre-

the committee on finance.
The measure was finally referred to the
committee on agriculture by vote Of 22 to

On motion of Mr.. Butler the Senate, against
the opposition of Mr. Hale, took up the bill
providing for admitting to the Navy Naval
Academy graduates excluded by the naval
appropriation bill of 1882.
MIR. Hale spoke in opposition to the bill.
The passage of the bill would utterly de-
moralize the service, making promotions so
slow as to destroy the ambition of younger
officers.
Mr.. Hale read q letter from Secretary
Whitney saying he saw no necessity at the
present time for any more officers than were
already in the navy.
After some debate in which Messrs. Hale,
Dawes, Hoar, Maxey and Butler took part

of property considered, that the city of Gar

$30O.600. Less families, however, are
homeless than at the great fire of four years
ago. Below is a summary of the loss:
