FIGHTING FLAMES.
Brave Work of Firemen at a Milwau-
kee Blaze Killed in a Railroad


MILWAUKEE, Special Telegram, April 1o.-The
hardest fight the Milwaukee fire department. ever
engaged in was that which lasted for four hours
tonight at Sanger, Rockwell & Cos large sash,
door and blind factory. The fire broke out in
the warehouse, on the ground floor, and as soon
as the chief reached the place and saw there was
prospect of large fire he turned in general
alarm and the entire department. was called
to the scene. For one hour they worked
with fifteen streams OF water without
seeming to have any effect The
large warehouse was stocked full of doors and
sash, and as fast the fire in one place was ex-
tinguished it broke out in another. Several of
the hrenen in the basement were overcome by
the smoke. and for three hours one by one the
men suceumbed and were dragged out, until at
10 o'clock not over fifteen men of the entire
force were able to work, and all of these had
been carried out from one to three times. Chief
Foley and his assistant chief were carried out
four times each, and when the fire was finally
overcome, shortly after 10 o'clock, the chief was
at the head of his men. badly used up but still
able to give orders. Never was such scene wit
messed at fire here On the broad sidewalk in
front of the building and on every bench and
table in the offices of the factory were men laid
out, with doctors, policemen and factory en-
ployes at work over them 1t became rumored

large vacant block opposite the factory, and as
every procession of policemen moved from the
smoky fire center with their burden of disabled
hremen the crowd would surge toward them like
great wave only to be driven back by the
squad of policemen that was kept patrol1ing
the street. Soon after the general
alarm was given Mayor Brown and Chief
of Police Gannesen appeared on the scene and
worked steadily uutl the fire was out, resusci-

HousE--Ihe governor yesterday recon-
mended the introduction of a bill into the
house amending the Hay bill reducing the
number Of the grand jurors of the state,
which has been passed but deemed uncon-
stitutional. Accordingly Mr.. Hay intro
duced a bill yesterday which repeats the law
already passed, and makes the grand jury a
body of not more than fifteen, nor less than
thirteen, the concurrence of twelve being
necessary in finding any Indictment. This
satisfies the question OF constitutionality,
which, by the way, is more question OF
spirit than of letter of the constitution
