corner Of Tenth avenue and Fifty-seventh
street, occupied by several families. took
fire this evening by overturning Of gas
fitter's lamp. There was much excisement
among the occupants, but all escaped safe
ly except Mrs. Kidder, who was driven
back by the flames, and she was about
to jump from the fifth story window when
the firemen shouted to stop and they would
save her. Several fremen climbed to the
roof of another house and threw a rope
with moose on it to the woman who
slipped the moose around her waist and
jumped from the window. She was
hauled up to the roof by the firemen
and escaped unhurt. A large water tank
then fell through the fifth floor to
the cellar, wrecking the inside of the
building and carrying down several fire.
men. They were rescued without injury,
except Foreman Michael Powers, who was
taken out badly hurt. The families who
escaped suffered considerably from cold
and exposure. They lost nearly all of their
effects.- The loss on tho building is about
$4,000. Several firemen distinguished
themselves by brave rescues, and one. Ed.

BOUND BY ROBBERS.


Three Masked Rascais Rob y Lumber
Merchant OF Considerable Money After
Fatally Torturing Him,
HUNTINGDON, PA, Jan. GA dastardly
outrage was pcrpetrated in Henderson
Township this morning, which will proba-
bly, result in the death Of tho victim, Hen.
ry Merritt, an old woodsman. About one
o'clock three masked men entered the hum
Bile hut of Mr.. Merritt aud demanded to be
shown whore his supposed wealth was con-
cealed. For several years Merritt has
been engaged in the numbering business,
and had accumulated about $1,000, which
he had secreted in tho basement Of his
dwelling. His assailants bound and gagged
him, and failing In their efforts to extort q
confession by these means, then held his
bare feet to the fire and otherwise mall
treated him in most shocking manner.
Finally becoming unconscious, his nssail-
ants left him and searched the hut for
his hidden wealth. Beneath the flooring
they found over $500 hidden in -four
sack, but this was all they secured, as the
other money belonging to him was hidden
q short distance from the house. Merritt
was found this morning by neighbor,
still bound and gagged, and, owing to his
advanced years, 1t is thought the maltreat-
ment he received will result in his death.

FOUND A POT OF SILVER.
Gotta Narclsse the Hnpplcst Darky in Lou
1siana.

Gotta Narclsse the Happlest Darky in Lou
isiana.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 25.-Considerable ex-
citement was created yesterday at Pass
Christian by the discovery Of pot Of bur-
led treasure. Gotta Narcisse, colored
man, was plowing in q vacant lot owned
by Nicholas Buchert, when the plow struck
hidden object, breaking of the point.
On looking to see what he had struck he
found curiously shaped jar, such as are
still used in Mexico and South American
countries to hold water. The jar was bro.
ken and found to be nearly full Of silver
coin. They examined and counted the coin
and found 200 silver half-dollars OF Amer
ican coinage and two quarter pieces, rang
ing in date from 1794 to 1925. The remain
ing contents consisted Of Spanish and
Mexican piasters and smaller coins, the
dates from 172O to 1899. The value Of the
whole is estimated at $685. AS to how it
got there the most plausible theory is that
it was buried by an old negro named
Charlo, who was slave of Nine. Azmar,
one of the first settlers Of the Pass. His
cabin stood near the spot, and being q
miser it is naturally supposed he hid his
hoard in the ground about the year 1880.

She glares with the ferocity Of an an
CRY animal, writhes In agony, froths
at the mouth, and is rapidly develop
ing the final stages Of the terrible dis
ease. At times she IL possessed OF the
strength Of two men and 1t is very difficult
to restrain her. In her calm moments she
realizes the danger Of her parents and
begs them to look out while in her parox'
ysms. She says she feels like biting every
body, and although in her spasms recogiE-
ing her parents, is unable to control her
desire to snap ut them. Death must soon
relieve the little one.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27-The jail authorities

tended Maxwell for the last six months
said last night: "Maxwell has been in
Jail now for nearly three years, and every
day he smoked from forty to fifty cigarettes.
He smokes brand that contains a consid-
cradle amount Of morphine. His Turk
like stolidity is simply the result of con-
tinued morphine by which the sensibilities
are gradually dulled and the brain rem
dered torpid. He may drop dead any time,
and may easily have had smuggled into
him enough morphine to end his life."
