FATAL FACTORY FIRE.

A Number of Women and Children Lose
Their Lives in Conha grafton at Roches-
ter, n. Y.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 10-~The most
disastrous fire ever experienced in this
city occurred last evening at the works Of
the Steam Gauge and Lantern Company.
1t was located in building of seven stories,
with two easements. 1t was situated near
the Genesee Falls. The fire broke out at
1885 o'clock. About forty people were at
work, mostly on the third floor. The smoke
was very dense, and the men could not
reach the fire escapes, and they were
forced to jump from the third story. Four
teen jumped on the west side of the build
ing, and were frightfully injured, six Of
them dying within an hour. Four others
will die before morning. The names Of
the dead are: Joseph Darner, John Grem-
our, Joseph Webber, Harry Schneider,
John Gall.
The fatally injured are: Richard Pasch,
Frank Siddons, David Watkins and John
Germ. 1t is thought that five or more
bodies are in the ruins, including one or
more girls.
Among those saved was John Platte,
who escaped by sliding from the sixth
floor. He says there were thirty persons
at work on that floor, and three were
saved-Robert and Horatio Hall and Jo-
seph Smith. He thinks that about ten
others escaped with him.
The lantern works with stock and ma
chinery Is total loss, estimated at about
$225, 600. The insurance Is $1T9,000.
The cause Of the fire is a mystery. The
men went to work after supper, and all
seemed to be right then. Soon afterward
Jacob Diehl, the watchman, while making
his usual rounds, discovered flames max
ing their way up through the floor. He
had barely time to give the alarm when he
was surrounded by the flames, but sue
ceeded in making the danger known to
the men on the fourth. fifth and sixth
floors. These at once realized their
position and made their way from
the building, but before they all got
out the structure was a seething mass
of fire. There was not the slightest
chance Of escape by the usual doors
of exit and Windows were at once utilized
for the purpose. The majority Of the
working men lost their heads and began
to jump instead of taking the fire ladders
that were attached to the building.
II is believed that a number of men are
buried in the ruins, but at present il is i'm
possible to be sure of this. All may have
escaped, but the probabilities are decidedly
against it. As soon as the ruins are
sufficiently cool work will be begun search
ing for the bodies.

WHITECHAPEc AGAIN.

Another Victim OF the Mysterious London
Fiend-Putile Efforts TO Discover the
Monster.
LONDON, Nov. e.-The murder fcDd has
added another victim to his list. At
eleven O'Clock this morning the body Of
woman cut into pieces was discovered in
q house on Dofsst street; Spitalhelds. The
police are endeavorihg to track the muir
derers with the aid Of bloodh0unds The
appearance of the remains was frightful,
and the mutiiation was even greater than
in the previous cases. The head had been
severed and placed beneath ofe of the
limbs. The ears and nose had been cut Of.
The body had been disemboweled and the
flesh was torn from the thighs. Several
organs were missing. The skin had been
torn off the forehead and cheeks. One
hand had been pushed into the stomach.
The victims name is believed to have
been Lizzie Fisher, but to most
Of the habitues Of the haunts
she visited, she was known as
Mary Jane. She had a room in the house
where she was murdered. She carried a
latch key and no one knows at what hour
she entered the house last night, and
probably no one saw the man who ac-
companied her. Therefore, it is hardly
likely that he will ever be identified.
He might easily have left the house
at any time between one and six
O'Clock this morning without attract
ing attention. The doctors who have
examined the remains refuse to make any
statement until the inquest is held. Three
blood hounds belonging to private citizens
were taken to the place where the body
lay and placed on the scent Of the muir
derer but they were unable to keep it for
any great distance and all hope Of running g
the assassin down with their assistance
will have to be abandoned.
The murdered woman told q companion
last evening that she was without money
and would commit suicide il she did not
obtain a supper. 1t has been learned that
a man respectfully dressed accosted her
and offered her money and they went to
her lodgings, on the second floor of the
Dorset street house. No noise was
heard during the night and nothing
was known of the murder until the
landlady went to the room early this mora
ing to ask for her rent. The frst thing she
saw on entering the room was the woman's
breasts and viscera lying on q table.
The opinion Of Archibald Forbes and
Mr.. Winslow that the assassin was a
homicidal maniac is confirmed by the
latest murder, and the prediction has be-
come general that another murder will
soon follow,

ishing To All.
TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 10-The latest re-
turns received at Republican State head
quarters give the following surprising re-
suit:
Harrison's plurality - Seventy-se
counties heard from, 59.177; twenty mine
counties to hear from (estimated), 1887;
total, 1904.
Humphreys plurality - Seventy seven
counties heard from, Sc, 294; twenty mine
counties to hear from (estimated), Is, 922
total, T2,2l6
The Union Labor vote is falling far
below all estimates and will probably not
reach 1000.
1t Is hardly necessary to state everybody
was surprised at the result. The figures
in Kansas, especially, are a never-failing
source Of wonder to Republicans and
Democrats alike. At first the Republicans 3
were pretty well satisfied with an esti-
mated plurality Of $1,000 for Humphrey,
then they wanted &C, 900 and now they can
scarcely believe it when the returns show
