NEWS SUMMARY.
TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE.
Nine Persons Burned to Death In
New York,


A crowded tenement house in New York
was partially destroyed by fire on the
morning OF Aug 10 Nine persons were
burned TO death, and number were seri.
ously injured.
When the fremen reached the place the
building was ablaze from ground floor TO
roof In the street outside there was the
widest excitement A crowd had quickly
gathered and many tenants, who had made
their escape in their night clothes, stood
among the throng, weeping bitterly and al
most frantic with despair The bremen
did their work well and in about - minutes
they had the flames in hand, while in half
an honr all danger from further destruc-
ton was over
The fire started in a restaurant kept by
John Snyder. According TO Snyder's story
he was on the sidewalk sweeping the flag
stones, when he saw blize in the kitchen
in the rear of his place. In the kitchen at
the time VS. Walter Brooks, the colored
cook, and Joseph Plunkett IA waiter.
Snyder rushed back into the restaurant
and with the help of his employees tried to
put out the fire. When he found this was
impossible he sent one of the men up stairs
TO alarm the tenants. The fire, however,
had gained such he ,dwdy that this alarm
did but little good, and Snyder becoming
frightened rang an alarm from the box IN
the street. Both Snyder and his two men
were arrested and locked up on suspicion.
Brooks, the cook, said the fire resulted
from an over-heated range, and that the
drum of the range took fire first, and that
it then communicated to the woodwork
about the kitchen.
Snyders restaurant is said to be place
of questionable character, and at the police
station that morning il was openly alleged
that Brooks, the cook. was drunk when he
was arrested.
Acting Captain Schmittbcrger of the
Thirteenth street police station said: The
circumstances under which the fire occur
red are, to say the least, suspicious. | have
questioned the three men separately and
there are certain discrepancies which they
should be called upon 10 explain. Snyder
has kept the place four or five years and
his reputation is none too good. IL was
open day and night and occasionally some
lively scenes have taken place in it. The
colorcd cook Brooks says that they have
not done much business lately. Snyder
had 81, 900 insurance on his fixtures, which,
! think, is more than they are worth. The
policy expires on Sept. 24 and, strange TO
say, he had the policy in his pocket when
arrested. -

PROSPECTIVE SENATORS

ington for the last four or five years.
1t is said that lie expects to be chosen
as one of North Dakota's senators.
There is no doubt that the governor
has the ability to make al excellent
senator but it would have simplclied
political matters in North Dakota if
he had only held his residence in
South Dakota-say Sioux Falls for
instance.
North Dakota isn't suffering just
now from q dearth of senatorial candi.

the swallows sometimes beat the
