NO HEROES HERE.
Plain Facts About n Little Fire In Green
witch Street This Morning..


witch Street This Morning..
A report %telephoned to The EVEN
ING WORLD from Police Headquarters this
morning stated that a fire at 100 A. M.
in John Grifin's saloon. at 566 Green
witch street. had caused n damage of 81, 500.
aud that a number of children in the
uppe part of the house were rescued by
Sergt. King, Roundsman Cruise and Police
men O'Brien. Barry, Alfred Power, Dunn
and McCauley, of the Prince street station. ~
The truth is that Sergt. King, Roundsman
Cruise and the others were ready as the
police of New York ever are to imperil life
and limb to rescue those in danger, but
at the fire this morning there was no
necessity for any display of heroism, and
what the police did there is not in any de-
gree heroic.
The fire was q slight one, causing a damage
only of about 5000, instead of 81 800.
The flames did not get outside of the
saloon.
The police did 60 through the house, as
sisting the people to get out, but there was
no panic, and the people would have got out
Just as well and safely without them.
In proof Of this, the ena on the top
floor, one Murphy by name, says il didn't
amount to much, and Capt. Thompson, of the
Prince street station, said to an EVENING
WORLD reporter
Don't you print any nonsense about
heroic rescues at that fire, because there were
none. don't want any sensationalism in my
precinct. 1T there was any truth in that re-
port l would know it. | am convinced that
the fire did not amount to anything"

Mr.. WILLIAM MGLORY SHUTS UP, PEND
ING INVESTIGATION.

Mr.. William McGlory is not doing any
thing at present. The expose in THE EVEN
ING WORLD of the wild orgies ut his fancy
cake walk and masked ball in Armory Hall
last Tuesday night, attracted the attention of
Mayor Grant, who promptly demanded OF the
Police Commissioner All explanation.
They referred the matter to Supt. Murray.
who has determined to cooperate actively
with the Mayor in closing up McGlory's and
other vile resorts.
The Chief went down TO Hester street last
night, but Armory Hall was dark, locked and
deserted.
The big lamps in front of the entrance
looked like weird s%entinels, and there was
not a sign of life about the place.
The toughs and unfortunate girls who
made the place their rendezvous, had fitted
TO other places on the Bowerv. and already
McGlory's was being forgotten.
Mr.. McGlory feels worse than any one else
over the shutting up of his - joint" He says

concluded.
Mayor Grant has not only declared war
against some of the most notorious of the

Rayner turned the scale al 200 pounds.

Henry 3. Ives, the young Napoleon of

to-day by Deputy SheriGs Martin and Nc
Gonigle.
This was done on an order issued by Judge
O'Brien, Of the Supreme Court, in the suit
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad Company.
The bail in each case was fixed at $3.50, 900.
The men are now in the custody Of the
sheriffs. They are charged in the suit with
misappropriating the funds of the Company.
Frank II. Lawrence, Counsel for the Gin
cinnati. Hamilton and Dayton Railroad
Company, was seen in his Office after the
arrest. He was surprised to hear that the
news had been given out 30 soon.

the Railroad Company, have sued Ives aud
Stavner for %defrauding the Company out of
So, 500. 900.
The Sheriff has been looking for them for
the past few days and was not able TO place
them until to-day.
Judge O'Brien has fxed the bail IN the
case at $3.50, 600 each. You may think il a very
uncivil thing to arrest n ma but we call it q
civil action"
1t is hardly expected that bail will be forth
coming on account of the large amount re-
quired, and the chances are that Messrs. Ives
and Staynor will languish in Ludlow Street
Jail until the suit is decided.

Prominent among the good New Eng

stock of the Atkinson House Furnishing
Company of Maine, although not listed

own goodness as demonstrated by the
dividends paid. This corporation was
organized under the laws of Maine in
1887, and has never failed to pay ) per
cent. every January and July to its stock
holders besides carrying a large amount
to surplus fund. From enquiry we
learn that it is the only corporation of its

be no reason for doubling the ability of
the company to continue to pay > per
cent. every~six months. In addition to
the dividends paid their surplus now
amounts to more than the next dividend,
and by unanimous vote of the stockhold-
ers at the annual meeting held Feb. 9th,
