THE SYRACUSE FIRE.

Now that the Smoke Has Cleared Away
and Careful Computation Made, the
Death List is Reduced to Six. which
Negatives Some of the Thrilling Incl
dents at First Related.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct 1S.-Streams
of water were thrown by the fire de-
partment onto the ruins Of the Leland
Hotel yesterday. Large crowds of peo-
pie gathered in West Fayette street and
gazed upon the smoking ruins. Only
few fragments of the outer walls re-
main standing, but the brick elevator
shaft towers up from the wreck six
stories high, a topping monument over
where every body had cone to believe
at least two victims OF the fire lay
buried.
The Leland Hotel clerks reported yes
terday afternoon that every body had
been accounted for and that Mary Doyle
had not been at the hotel. Mary Pad
den, the laundry girl, was reported as
killed by jumping. When the confu-
sion of the records had become some
what righted, it was found that both
women were in the house and that
neither had since been heard from.
Their people live in this city and are
acxiously inguiring for them. If these
two girls are in tho ruins, the total
number of killed is six.
Miss Padden and Maria Sullivan both
worked in the laundry and roomed
together in Room 21s. or the fifth floor,
back. They were awakened by the fire
in their room and both dashed out into
the hall. That is the last known Of
Mary Padden. Miss Sullivan escaped
uninjured. 1t is supposed that Miss
Padden sank helpless il. the smoke and
that her body now lies in the ruins.
Mary Doyle, who is the other person
reported missing, was sister of Mag
gle Doyle, who was badly injured by
jumping and by burning. The house
keeper says that she was certainly in
the hotel and nothing has been heard
from her since.
Yesterday morning, for the first time
since the fire, the six girls from New
York who were employed at the Le-
land, but who escaped, are able to
clothe themselves sufficiently to appear
in public. They have been occupying
a room at Congress Hall and all their
meals have been sent up to them. They
have been clothed by relief COM
mittee.

a FEARFUL PANIC.

A Small Fire in "A Polish Catholic Church
in Chicago Creates II Panic Among the
Twelve Hundred Children who were
Attending Nassau Many of them were
Injured. Some Fatally. in the Mad Rush
for S ,fery.
CHICAGO, Oct 1S-4A small fire at st.
Stanislaus' Polish Catholic Church, at
Noble and Graham streets, caused
panic, and a score of children were bad
ly hurt. Some of them will probably
die. About a. m. Rev. Father Vincent
Braziski was reading the usual mass
for the school children. when an altar
curtain was set on fire by one of the
candles. In less than a minute all the
flowers and curtains and every thing
infammable was one mass of flames.
Nearly fifteen hundred children, from
five to fifteen years of age. were assem-
bled at the church. When they saw the
hre they were panic-stricken and made
for the exits. All the efforts of the
Sisters of Notre Dame, who have charge
of the children, to check the stampede
proved of no avail. The children
rushed toward the door and rolled down
the stone steps, followed by the crying
and screaming women that were also in
the church. The children that got out
hrst were the ones that were the most
injured. They were trampled upon by
the children d and women follow
ing them, who seemed utterly without
reason or presence of mind. An alarm
of fire was sent in, and the noise of the
approaching engines, with the ringing
of bells. made the panic still worse. In
less than five minutes after the alarm
was sent in over 10, 900 people assem- bled
around the church, while the panic was
at it height. Joseph Gesek. boy of
twelve years, was the most dangerous
ly injured. and will probably die.
He has cash of six inches on
the right side OF his head, the
scalp is cut through, and his
skull is fractured AT Karsokowski's
drug store, No. $50 Noble street. several
physicians were kept busy attending
the injured children. Among the in
iured there was boy named Stanislaus
Kaminski, of No. TO Holt avenue, who
was injured internally by a fall from
the stone steps. The extent of his in
juries could not be ascertained. The
fire was quickly extinguished, only a
small damage being done. 1t will not
exceed 500.
A patrol wagon from the Rawson
police station arrived and the police,
with the help of the fire department.
began to restore order At first they
met with very little success. 1t seemed
as if every body within mile around
was at the place, and the crowds were
so dense that passage could only be
made with the greatest efforts. After
half an hours work the police sue
ceeded in taking the worst victims to
the adjoining drug stores.
Rev. Father Barzynski and his assist
ants did all in their power to make the
children understand that there was no
danger, but their efforts were rendered
fruitless by an old woman in the rear of
the church who screamed Fire! Fire!
Children you'll ali be burnt

THE BLOODY MALTA.

| The Excitement in New Orleans Over the
Assaeination of Chief of Police Hennessy
Intensified by the Shooting of One of the
Dago Suspects-The Feeling Against the
Notwithstanding Italians Very Bitter.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct 1s.-The excite
| ment caused by the assassination OF
Chief of Police Hennessy was intensi-
fled yesterday afternoon by the shoot
ing of Antonio Scoffidi. one of the sus-
poets arrested. Over forty arrests have
been made so far in connection with
the assassination, chief of whom are An
tonic Scott Iii, Lonetto Soconetti and
Antonio Bognetti, who are directly
charged with the shooting, and John
Matranga, arrested yesterday afternoon
as an accessory. Bostitio Incardino,
one of the chief suspects, was one or
the Matrango party in the wagon,
which, it was claimed was fired upon
by the Provenzano faction. These,
with the Caruso faction have occupied
the attention of the police and courts
of the city for years.
1t was the purpose of the Provepzano
faction, to bring Chief HennessY as an
important witness IN their case with
the Matrango faction. This fact and
the chiefs thorough knowledge of the
inner workings of the secret organiza-
ton known as the Malta. were no doubt
the causes of the edict issued for Hem
nessy's death, which was carried out by
the assassins on last Wednesday night.
Geo. Negli and Elias Rohman, claim
ing to be Roumanians, arrived from
Mobile yesterday. Negli said they re-
sided just across the street from Chief
no hot rh
ing. Rohman denied this, but said they
heard the shots. Both were arrested az
suspects.
Among those expressing sympathy
for the family of deceased chief are
VIM. A. Pinkerton, British Consul De
Noubl Tanquez, John l.. Sullivan. Dun
can Harrison, Inspector Byrnes, and
many others.
The feeling against the dagoes is so
intense that the Times Democrat and
the Picayune have published editorials
urging that the law be allowed to take
it's course and discouraging any gem
eral demonstration against this class OF
people because of assassination, as tif-
teen or twenty thousand of them live in
New Orleans. many Of whom are among
its best citizens and heartily denounce
and deplore the terrible tragedy.
The remains of Chief Hennessy lay
in state in the council chamber yesteT-
day, thousands of people viewing them.
The funeral, which took place at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon was an i'm
mense affair, all organizations of the
State and city, the firemen, the mill
tary, ETC.. participating.
a Plan for U,ol.sara Assassination
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 17.--To-night the
police searched the residence of one Of
the men arrested for the murder of
Chief of Police Hennessy and found a
detailed plan to assassinate all city or
State officers who acted counter to the
wishes of the Malta, an Italian secret
society formed for the purpose of assas-
sination. This society includes large
portion of the lower class of Italians.
Heretofore they have generally
confined their assassinations to
their own nationality, and this
is one of the few instances of
their applying their methods to one not
of their own people.
