A CIGAR FACTOR Y FIRE.

Three G1rlS Earned 10 Death.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-A supposed incen- diary fire, by which three girls lost their lives, broke out at 717 East Fifth street this morning. More than sixty girls were at work at the time, and it is only by amiracle that more were not killed. The fire started shortly before II o'clock in the blacksmith shop of Henry Haas, and over it is the fac tory of the New York Patent Cigar manu- factory. It was here, on the third floor, that the girls were working. Smoke filled the factory and the girls became panic-stricken. The fremen put ladders up to the third story windows and the work of rescuing began. A good many of the girls who were near the stairway managed to make their escape that way Three or four who are supposed to be fatally burned were taken from the window. Three of the unfortunate girls were burned to death. Their names are Josie Farrenkopt, Lena Strsub and Barbara Oppel. Barbara Schmidt, one of the girls taken from the window, was terribly burned and was at once taken to St. Francis hospital. The fremen did heroic work and soon had the fire under control. The police have obtained information which makes them believe that the fire was the work of an incendiary. They have made an arrest and the prisoner is locked up in the Union Market station.

For a Straight Road Between New
 York and Boston.
 BOSTON, Jan. 15-Treasurer Thayer, of the New York and Boston Inland Railroad com- pany appeared before the railroad committee of the Legislature to-day in support of the bill to extend to April 1, 1899, the time within which the road must be completed. Richard Olney appeared as counsel for the road. MT. Thayer said the corporation had bought 22O acres in this State; has spent s157, 900 in this State and $20O,000 in New York. It has spent about $500,000 in all, and has independent entrance to New York city, the station being at Fifty ninth street and Broadway. Within a few days con- tracts have been made for building over forty miles in Connecticut and money paid to bind the contract. By this line the dis tance to New York will be from 196 to 19S miles. Mr. Thayer said the forty miles in Connecticut were between New Haven and the New York State line. The company has spent $17O, 900 in purchase of land and grad ing. They have contract for building and equipping the road for not over $24, ,000, 900, including depots and everything else. The road is to be as nearly as possible a straight line between Boston and New York The right of way for the stations is only partially acquired. They do not need to ask for anything from the State or City of New York for four years. In Connecticut they must have an extension of time from next October.
 President Forbush, of the road, said the most difficult part of the road to manage was the forty-two miles which paralleled the New York and New Haven at a distance of half a mile to four miles. No doubt is felt of getting the necessary legislation in Connecticut. MT. Forbush said that good parties were behind the scheme, but he did not think the committee should press him for names

TheCoRaa Case.
State Attorney Doolittle in letter in last

State Attorney Doolittle in 8 letter in last evenings Union says:
 The Union is mistaken in its statement last evening ''that the State attempted to prove that Cofey did not go to GuilfoId the night of the Ways death" On the con- trary, the State claimed that he was in Guil- ford that night Eacing up and down the depot platform for two hours after midnight and with Mason concocting a story in regard to Ways death, and that in the early dawn of the next morning returned from Guilford and told Mrs Fully that Way was killed, a circumstance which he could not have known unless that was true which he told the Grand Jury that he and Mason were with Way two minutes before his death, and that he knew all about it. Just before his death Coffey stated that HMason knows all about it."
 The talk that petition would be brought for new trial on the ground of newly dis covered evidence was the merest bosh, for it could not have been sustained except by the rankest perjury, which the State could easily prove.
 Conductor Mason of the Shore Line divi- sion, when seen in regard to Coffee's state- ment that Way fell and was run over, and that Mason would corroboIate it, said that all he knew about Ways death he had already told on the witness stand. He added: 'I do not think that Coffee knew how Way met his death. I do not know whether Way fell from train or not" Further the conductor said: ''I believe that Coffee knew nothing about the case, as he rode to Guilford on my train that night"

Major General Carnahan of the uniformed degree will be present and deliver an oration. The obser- vance of the twenty fifth anniversary of the order will be an interesting feature of the annual session.

 Grand Chancellor Deming installed officers of the Apollo lodge at Middletown Monday evening. He has established three new lodg- es during the year and plans are in progress for new lodges at Stamford and Ivoryton. The new lodges now in working condition are John Lyon, of Dsyville, Gardiner lodge of Norwich, and Fred Erie Wilhelm of Watt erbury. Congressman Charles A.

Brown has been teaching privately for some time past at the request of his friends, and the de- mands upon his time have increased to such an extent that he finds it advisable to devote nearly his entire time to the profession of music.

 sOnal-General Notes 0fInterest.
 MT. J. N. Chatham of Albany, N. Y., was
 in town yesterday. He left for home last
 night.
 It is quite possible that there may be a
 contest over the application of S. Bronson
 for a license for a saloon on the west side.
 MT. Bronson has kept place in the Granniss block on the east side for a number of years, and up to the time the block was burned down. He recently made out an application for license, naming his new number as the place he wanted it for, and the county cons
 missioners readily granted it. It is claimed now, however, that the county commission CTS did not notice the new number, but were of the opinion that Bronson wanted the li- cense for the same place. There will proba- ply be hearing in the case. The First church people will shortly ap~ point a committee to confer with the Rev. Dr. Hart in reference to his withdrawal from the psstorats of the church according to his recent resignation. The Fair Haven Republican club is boom~ ing. Monday night meeting was held and the necessary steps towards completing the organization of the club were taken. The following gentlemen were appointed a committee to make the organization com plete:
 1 Eleventh ward-Norman A. Tanner, General William H. Perpont, MT Johnson. Twelfth ward-Dr. B. Adams, Thomas For syth, H. W. Crawford
 Fourteenth ward-Major H. H. Strong, Luzerne Ludington, Romanta Wells. Fifteenth ward-Lyman c. Thompson, Collis Granniss, Alfred H, Burr.
 The committee will meet at Dr. Adams office next Friday night, when it is probable the club will be completely organized and the officers elected. The club will start iu with one hundred to one hundred and fifty members. That the club will be @ success is an assured fact from the start. Some $8, ,000 is wanted to build 8 club house, and yester- day $6, 900 of that sum had been subscribed by local Republicans. It is more than likes ly that the entire amount will be subscribed before the week is out.
 There was good skating at Hemingway's pond on the east side yesterday. The ice is an inch and half thick, thick enough for safe ty, but not thick enough to please the ice men, who have not yet seen any prospects of an ice harvest.
