TIE CHRYSTTE-ST. IRE.

The fatalities at the Chrystie-st. fire appear
to have been caused in the main by the deadly
air-shaft, which carried the flames with eX-
treme rapidty from the bottom to the top Of the
building, and so cut off the escape Of number
Of the inmates 1t is also clear that the build
ing was not fitted for the manufacturing pr.r-
poses to which it was put, and that the num-
Der of working people present had much to do
with the creation of the panic which paralyzed
so many Of the victims. This is net all, how
ever From the accounts of eye-witnesses,
several of whom did their best to rescue the
endangered people. it is clear that these Tor
eign workmen and wOrkwomen lost their heads
completely and did not know what they were
doing. Those who persisted seem not to have
tried to escape. There were tire-escapes on the
building and people in the adjoining houses
showed the imprisoned men and women how
to use them But they were as confused and
bewidered as lot of horses in a burning
stable, and there they persisted in staying until
it was no longer possible either for them to
get out or for any one TO reach them
The air-shaft, of course, is responsible for
the swift spreading of the fire, and it may
be questioned whether, considering the crowd
ed state of the building, it would have been
possible for all the inmates to escape even if
they had retained theirepresence of mind. In
fact, it seems of little practical utility to fur
nish with fre-escapes tall building which
has previously been converted into finder
box by the deadly air-shaft. Safety, with the
air-shaft, can only be obtained by the use Of
such non-innammable material both in shaft
and floors as render THE TRIBUNE build
ing absolutely freproof. And 1t may be
added that with foreign crowd OF low in
telligence, panic may evidently neutralize far
more complete precautions than had
been taken against fire in this case.
The Chryste-st. fire brings forward
once more what is undoubtedly the hard
est problem builders in NewYork have to face
Business needs, the cost of real estate, human
selfshness and greed, all fight against the only
kind of reform which can do away with the
danger which impends over thousands Of fam
lilies to-day. Under the existing system the
air-shaft seems indispensable; and yet nothing
is more certain than that it is a source OF con-
slant and fearful danger in every tenement
and apartment house, or that the safeguards

There seems to be good deal of uncertainty
among city Democrats az to what will be done
in regard to the Mayoralty nomination. One
of the important questions yet undecided is
whether Tammany and the County Democracy
shall act together or separately. Tammany is
apparently much more independent in feeling
than its rival and any proposition for coali-
ton must undoubtedly emanate from the Coun-
tv body. The denomination Of Mr.. Hewitt is
a possibility, but can hardly be seriously re-
garded as likely to be made. Probably moth
ing in the way of definite action will be taken
until after the Democratic State Convention.
Rarely has q candidate for the Presidency
had a more lucky stroke of fortune than Gen
eral Harrison enjoys in having as his BIZ
ographer so accomplished a literary artist as
the author of Ben Hur." The biography Will
not be ready for publication for several days
vet, but THE TRIBUNE is able to give its read
ers to-day several samples of its quality, which
will only whet the appetite for perusal of the
book in full. The liberal extracts printed on
the fourteenth page show that the work is writ
ten in q plain and pleasing style, with many
of those graceful touches which have made
General Wallace's novels so popular. we call
special attention to the description of General
Harrison's first appearance in court, and to
the account Of his meeting with Thomas A.
Hendricks. 1t is no surprise to learn that he
was Protectionist at the age Of nineteen, and
that he has never wavered in his adherence
TO that great principle 1t was almost in his
youth too, that be developed those remarkable
powers Of extemporaneOus speech, Of which
there have been so many capital exhibitions

Clifton, arizona, Clarion.
Great excitement was caused to-day on
receipt of a telegram by Murphy Bros,
brokers in mining property, Containing the
intelligence that the United Verde Copper
Company's mines, and mines at jerome, 80
miles northeast of here, were sold to Mr..
Clark, of Butte, Montana. The telegram
does not state the price paid, but it is esti-
mated at from $40 0 600 to 81, 600, 900, as the
former owners held the works at So, 500, 900
before the recent rise in copper. The prop
erty has been idle for some tir1e, owing to
the excessively high rates prevalent on both
the coke and the shipment of bullion. 1t is
said that at present the ore from the mine
yields silver of sufficient quantity to defray
all expenses necessary in mining and treating
the ore. This is certainly one of the richest
copper mines in the world, as experts state
that a mountain of copper is tapped by the
mine MT. Clark will at once proceed to
improve his property and demonstrate the
feasibility Of mining in Arizona.
