THE BUFFALO CONFEDERATION.
A Loss of About -. 500. 900 Footed Up
Two Lives Lost.

Two Lives Lost
BUFFALO, y. V, Feb. At seems that two
lives, at least, were lost in the great fire
which swept over a block in this city Satur-
day morning. One of them was a sewing
of the BroeZel house Her name was Pollard,
and she attempted to save her clothes, when
the fire cut off her escape.
About noon number of firemen were at
work in the ruins at the rear of the Arlington
hotel, when the western wall Of the rear ex-
tension fell without any warning. All of the
men were out of the way of the falling brick
and timbers but Dominick r Marion, of en-
CINE No 10, and John MoeSt, foreman of
engine No. Q. Moest was struck on the head
with some of the brick. receiving a bad scalp
wound and being otherwise injured Marion
was instantly buried in the ruins, and, if not
killed outright, his life must have been soon
crushed out by the immense weight resting
on him.
The following estimate is made Of the
losses: Root 6 Heating, $3.50. 900, their ten
ants, $500, 900; S. 5. Jewett 4 Co, S200. 900:
the Broezel house, Sl6O COS: Sibiey & Holm

F. Eagan, $40, 900; Sidney, Shepard & Co,
$4,000; the Arlington hotel, $4,000; A. T.
Kerr & Co, $50, 600; Strootman building and
tenants, $500, 900; losses on Exchange street,
$4,000; losses on north side Seneca street.
500, 900; other losses $780, 900 This would
make a total of 81, l25, 900, but insurance
men think it will be nearer s, 500. 900 MANY
OF the guests of the hotels lost everything
they had in their rooms.
So far as can be learned the assurances on
the property destroyed amount to s675, 200.

INSPECTOR BYRNES mcnt of police I'M
| der Inspectors Byrnes and Steers
The avenue had been crowded all the
morning with people who were in all angry
mood over the strike. Some boys playing in
| the street about O'Clock rolled truck from
the curb across the car track. The solitary
officer i'll the vicinity drove the boys away
and caught one of them, whom he took to
the station house When the officer returned
the crowd had increased in numbers and in
viciousneSs. The bluecoat was received with
a shower of stones. At the same time the
mob seized some trucks and upset them on
the track, blockading a Thirty-fourth street
car. This car formed a target for stones and
bricks, and its windows were quickly de
moliShed. The passengers, among whom
were some women, fed i'll terror.
Meantime the officer had raped for assist
ance. and the Sixteenth precinct reserve was
on its way to the scene. The mob was busy
dragging trucks stones, logs, and all sorts OF
Instructions from neghboring stone yards
wood-yards, etc, and piling them on the
tracks Thousands of men, women, and chill
dren shouted approval from the windows and
roofs of the tenements which lined the street
When the reserve came up they were pelted
with missiles both from the rioters and from
the people on the roofs. The police force was
too small to make any impression on the mob
and more help was summoned.
Some of the passengers in the car had been
hit and bruised One old lady tainted and
was cared for in neighboring drug store
The shot which narrowly missed Policeman
Brennan crashed through the window of the
car on which the officer was riding 1t went
clear through the car, but fortunately no one
was seated in its path The shot seemed to
come from "a house. and some officers broke
into the building, but could find no one on
whom to fix the guilt. A big stone from
roof smashed a hole in the top of Forty
second street car that was in the blockade
The stones were growing more plentiful and
the crowd more demonstrative when a car
riage containing Inspectors Byrnes and Steers
dashed around a corner into the mob The
officers jumped out aud began to ply their
clubs At the same time two patrol wagons
hurried around another corner The men
jumped out formed into line and swept down
upon the crowd In ten minutes the avenue
was clear of people all the rioters having been
driven down the side streets The policemen
remained stretched along the avenue TO keep

Some men on the roof OF No. COZ threw
some bricks, one of which crushed the helmet

found refuge in other tenements. This ended
the trouble, and except for the occasional
throwing of a brick from some yard or other

There was another wolf hunt in Pleas

day last. The party was composed OF
the same seventy men who corralled
the wolf on the 25th ult., and killed it,
The scalp of that wolf led to lamentsble
consequences after the sport last week.
The 50 bounty received from the county
for it, ii was agreed, should be disbursed
for refreshments after the ending of the
next hunt. The huntsmen ranged over
the same territory in which they hunted
the wolf before-but without success, for
no wolf was scared from his lair. though
sheep and pigs have been missing from
pens since the death of the other wolf.
After the hunters had circled in to the
center. wolfless, they fell in line and
marched 10 Bornemar MS at Gilbert.
There they refreshed themselves with
beer, whisky. or whatever else they wants
ed, until. while the most of them became
jolly. several became ugly. Two certain
farmers became especially vindctively
filed with desire TO raise row over
old grudges that were believed buried
years ago. There was billiard playing
and pool playlng--and in the midst of
the games these two farmers jumped TO
the floor, shed their coats, and swore
they could whip any three men in the sa-
loon. There were many rough words.
and the excitement became intense. One
of the fighting farmers forgot the Queens
bury rules. and picked up billiard ball
to hurl it at a stalwart young man from
East Davenport. The latter was too
quick Tor him and he dropped 70 the floor
rs if he had been shot. The PROSTATE
mans friend hurled a pool ball at the
young man, who returned ball as he
lodged, and that farmer dropped.
By this time the last fighter had found
his feet and he advanced for the young
athlete with cue; but the boy gave him
one square in the mouth with bare
knuckles which sent him to grass about

Then relative of the two farmers who
were still on the floor. rushed for the
champion. The two were fairly matched
in size and age, but not in the art Of self

There were several side skirHishes during

in them. Meantime the Gilbert part of
the crowd went away and left the Pleas

and several of them went home home in

WAS HUNGRY FOR BLOOD.
A Miscreant Murders "a Young Girl, Siashs
His Wife and Kills Himself

"A n Dung GIL, SlaShes
His Wife and h ills Himself
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 4.-For several
hours on Saturday night the police force OF
this city was mystified by the finding of the
| body Of a beautiful young girl in a lonely
spot in kens;ngton. She was unconscious
and her life blood was slowly ebbing from q
pistol shot wound in her left eye. There was
no weapon to be found, and it was evident
that the girl had been assassnated She was
taken to st. Mary's hospital, but when car
ried into the receiving ward was found to be
dead. She was afterward identified as An.
ME Klaus. the l9-year-old daughter of Henry
Klaus. prosperous German shoe dealer at
1857 North Second street
The mystery was afterward solved when
the murder was traced to Otto Kayser, a
young man who until week ago was EN-
ployed as Il conductor on the Second and
Third streets Passenger railway On obtain
ing sufficient evidence of kayser's guilt to
warrant an arrest, Capt Quirk, Lieut.. Scott
Detective Geyer, and two special officers went
to the mans house They knocked for adj
mission, and We're alarmed by screams of
murder from an upper room of the house
When Capt Quirk burst open the door and
reached the inside, kayser's wife, with a baby
in her arms and blood squirting from cash
in her neck, Yell into his arms "Go up
stairs" was all she could say and she fell
back unconscious Lieut.. Scott and Detective
Geyer sprang up the stairway, and, guided
by light burning dimly in one of the rooms,
found kayser writing on the bed with his
throat cut from ear TO ear The bloody razor
with which the double deed was done was
lying by his side He lived half all hour. but
could not speak
Mrs. kayser was taken to the Episcopal
hospital and although her wounds are OF a
very dangerous character the surgeons hope
they will be able to save her life. She is still
unconscious, and no story of the second
crime can be obtained from her lips
1t has been ascertained that Kayser had
been paying attention to the murdered girl
under an assumed name, and that he repre-
sented himself as a single man, but the reason
for her murder cannot be explained, as there
are no living witnesses to the crime or to
their last meeting.
The friends of Mrs. Kayser say that he has
been drinking heavily since his discharge,
and he is supposed TO have been suffering
from delirium, the result of his protracted
debauch. When he reached his home after
shooting the girl he brandished his pistol
in threatening manner, and was only
quoted when he was disarmed by O police
man who was summoned 1t is believed now
from what has been learned that had
his PISTOL not been taken from him he would
have murdered the whole family.
