THE DYING PHlLANTHROPlST
MT. w. w. Corcoran Gradually Nearin
 the End of Life.

MT. w. w. Corcoran Gradually Nearing
 the End of Life.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Dr. Garnett, MT. Corcorans physician, has for some time been alarmed at his condition. He says he took heavy cold six weeks ago, and it has resulted in senile bronchitis. It frequently attacks persons of advanced age. The serious phase of this disease is the relaxation of the muscles in the membranes of the throat, which has the effect of filling the bronchial tubes with secretions. In cases of persons of advanced age they are unable to throw this phlegm off, and, in the case of very young children with croup, death is liable to ensue from suffocation. This is danger which threatens Mir. Corcoran.
 Owing to his great age and his general de- bility he has not the strength to resist He is able at times to clear his throat, but should he grow weaker this would no longer be possible His death may be looked for at any moment
 He sleeps most of the time, but when any one he knows comes into the room and speaks to him he rOuses up and recO lzes them He is conscious, but seems to have lost the power of continuous thought. His granddaughter, on arriving yesterday, went at once to Mr. Corcoran's bedside and spoke to him. He knew her and greeted her pleasantly. He then said that he wan; to talk with her about certain matters. Then, after pause, he began to talk on an entirely different sub ject His mind wandered little, and he im- agined that he was dead. He said to one of his friends with whom he was conversing, ''Why, here am l talking about my own flu neral.n

MASTER JOSEF HOFFMAN.

was cancelled MT. Abbey claims that hi. contract calls for eighty performances, at S1,250 week. and that twenty perform ances remain to be given. He says in his complaint that the boys health cannot have suffered much since he was examined at the mayors office recently and pronounced re- markedly healthy. MT. Hoffman said he would take Josef back to Europe. MT. Hoff- mans trunks have been levied on.
 MT. Elbridge T. Gerry declines to say whether the offer of some unknown person through him to MT. Hoffman to settle $50, ,00O on Josef if the father would withdraw him from professional life has been accepted. It is thought by some that it has, and that this accounts for the broken contract. The boy tells reporters that he feels overworked and wants rest. This is the only explanation offered by the Hoffman family.
 Mrs. Hoffman would only say that her son was overworked, and must rest. He would not be allowed to play for several years to come Theatrical managers say that Mr. Abbey is badly out of luck as he has spent considerable money in arranging for Hoff- mans western tour, and there is a question whether contract with father for the ar- tistic services of a young child can be en- forced, or whether damages will be allowed by court. Professional men are about unanimous ill believing that Josef is as well as he ever was, but that the 1000 gift to the parents has led them to withdraw him.

THE LATE STRIKERS GLADLY RE-
 SUMlNG OPERATIONS.

Comparatively Few Object to Obeying
 Master Workman Lewis Circular De-
 claring the Strike OE-Charges of Dis
 PoTTsvILIE, Pa., Feb. 21.-While the ac- quiescence in Master Workman Lewis circu- lar declaring the miners strike off is marked by some halting and hesitation, it may be claimed upon the whole that it has been effectual Without the railroaders' trouble as factor it is probable that every colliery in working condition would have started up with the ordinary force. The collieries north of the mountain" almost without exception, started up, while the employees of most of those ''south of the mountain" appear to be only letting themselves down gently by hold ing back until they receive official notice of the abandonment of the strike At Shenan- doah all the Reading colieries started, except Knickerbocker and Indian Ridge, where re- pairs are being made, and these will resume tomorrow or Thursday.
 At Turkey Run and Shenandoah City col ieries four engineers, who had been dis charged several weeks ago for refusing to hoist coal for shipment, were refused their places. They claim that this action is in viola tion of the agreement that no men were to be discriminated against, and the miners threaten to go out again unless the dis charged engineers are taken back. At Ash land all Reading collieries are at work except Tunnel Ridge, where repairs are being made. At Mahanoy City all are at work except Mahanoy City colliery, where repairs are in progress.
 At Mount Carmel the Reading men refused to resume on the newspaper publication of the Lewis circular. All the Hecksherville Valley collieres employees refused to recognize the Lewis order, but upon learning of the action elsewhere arranged for a meeting to decide Frackvilie and Mahanoy Plane report every thing moving and more r,lilroaders applying for work than can be taken on.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb 21-Master Workman w. T. Lewis, of Miners D. A. 135, came tt this city yesterday from Pottsville with tn, expectation of receiving replies from tn, Lehigh coal corporations in answer to propo sitions submitted to them similar to those sub mitted last week to President Corbin. He dit not receive any replies from the Lehigt region, but was astounded last night at re ceiving telegrams from Robert Maggs anC Thomson, respective secretary and master workman of division 12 at Mahanoy City anc Middleport in the Schuylkill region, to tn, effect that many of the miners had been vic timized. Some had been discharged outrigh and others suspended.
 Master Workman Lewis declared that this were found to be so, and if the Readin, officials were proved to be guilty of treacher, in violating Corbin's agreement, he would cal out the miners, together with the engineers pumpmen and fremen. Such an order, h added, would be promptly obeyed, and tn great fight would be renewed ill bitter earnest

A Fire Starts fin the Kitchen of the Allyn
 House and The Guests Escape in Their
 Night Clothes-The Total Loss About
 SEQ, 900.
 HARTFORD, Feb 21.-The Allyn house, a big five story brown stone building, at the corner of Asylum and Trumbul streets, was the scene of a spiteful fire early this morning, and it was only by the super human efforts of the fire department that any portion of the building was saved. The fire broke out in the bakery on the first floor in the rear of the building at 1:35. The office, parlors and dining room are on the second floor and the upper stories are used for sleeping apartments. On the first floor is Bassett's barber shop on Trumbul street, P. B. Newton's drug store on the corner and Bache's bakery in the basement. On the first floor on Asy- lum street is jewelry store, & Singer sew ing machine agency, boot and shoe store, | a bakery and Rosenthall's cigar store and pool room. Adjoining the Allyn house is Allyn hall, where the political conventions are held in this city. The first story is also occupied by merchants.
 The bake shop, where the fire started, adjoins the kitchen and access is gained rom the rear. 1t has on one side a court shut in from the street, which made the ire exceedingly hard to get at. There were 30 guests in the house and the night clerk and the police made haste to arouse them before the fire could reach the sleep ng apartments. The corridors were filled with smoke and many of them rushed out into the street in their night clothes, one woman fell down stairs in her haste and sprained her ankle. R. J. Allyn was in the kitchen and was with difficulty rescued alive. He was almost snffocated with smoke.
 The flames spread rapidly considering he amount of water that was poured into the building, and at two o'clock fiery tongues appeared through the roof in the rear. 4 second alarm was sounded and additional streams put onto the flames. The scene at 2:30 was exciting and it look ed as if the fire would spread to Allyn hall. Ladders were raised on the north west wing to the fifth story, from which flames were bursting in vivid sheets Af- ter hard fight line of hose was carried ap and plenty of water put on this floor. The freInen who made the ascent of the ladder and gained access to the burning third floor, stood there in shower of sparks and clouds of smoke, and their at tack was a brave one and their position perilous.
 The danger of entire destruction was so great that at three o'clock all the portable articles were removed from the building. Ladders were raised to the roof in the rear of the building and two streams played with good effect into the burning building, and at $50 the fire wa. under control. An hour later it was entirely out.
 MT Allyn places his loss at S14 900, Sl0,- 900 on the hotel and S4 900 on the furni- ture The stores underneath were flooded with water, and the loss will probably reach sevesal thousand dollars.
