R0ASTED 10 DEATH.
A Tramp's Fate at Fire in the New
York Post Office.

A Tramp's Fate at "a Fire in the New
York Post Office.
An electric wire set fire to the wood
work In the basement of the New York
Postoffice building at half-past ten
o'clock last night. The fire started in the
Mail street end of the building where all
the domestic mail is sorted. The en-
g1neer, William Moore, and his brother
were In the engine room at the Time
Moore shouted to pull out the plug OF the
engine SO as to allow the water IN the
boiler to escape
The flames spread SO rapidly that he
was unable to do SO, and the engineer
was obliged TO fly before he could stop
lis engine. In his attempts to stop. 1t ne
was severely burned about the head and
neck.
There were over fifty clerks at work at
the time the fire started, and all rushed
for the stairs which lead to the rooms
above AS the boilers were located in
this part of the cellar, they We're afraid
that they would explode, and no one
made any effort TO exJinguish the flames.
The flremen were soon upon the scene
and in less than half an hour they had
the fire under control. A tramp was
sleeping on the iron of the SHAFT which
admits light and air into the cellar. The
flames rushed up the shaft and roasted
were heard by an employe of the Office,
tho, wi tn the assistance Of two police
men, pulled him out They were too
late, however, and the tramp was uncon-
sclous when they got him out.
The skin was burnt of his face and his
hands. he was taken to the Chamber
Street Hospital, where the surgeon
says he will not live twenty-four
hours. A driver of one of the mail wag
ons fell from mis- seat while driving past
the building. and received severe injuries
about the head. He was also taken to
the hospital. The several hundred bags
of mails which were in the cellar were
completely drenched. The cellar is coy
cred with several inches of water.

Fighting over baby Clothes.

Mrs. Mary Mannion, of No. IA York
street, was before Justice Sulsing Satur-
day morning, charged with tearing up 50
worth OF baby clothes belonging to Mrs.
Mary Sailer, OF the same address. Both
women were mad. Their friends lined
the rear seats in the court room. There
was no evidence against Mrs. Mannion
except the testimony of fifteen year old
Mamie Cummings, who some time ago
figured as the defendant in case of the
larceny of ring. She could only say
that she saw Mrs. Mannion on the roof
among the clothes lines.
Justice Stilsing, after eulogizing Mrs..
Sailer as an exemplary woman, warned
her against bringing clothes line
cases into court, and discharged Mrs.
Mannion from custody Mrs. Mannion
proudly swept from the room, stopping
only long enough to cast disdainful look
at Mrs. Sailer and give a significant nod
to her friends in the rear of the court
room.

Clubs and Liauor Tax.

The Eceni77g Journal attempted to
prove last evening that the liquor
dealers were insidiously getting the
best OF the Werts law by knocking
holes in it with minor bills. 1t con-
siders that one hole was made by the
bill which is to relieve saloon-keepers
from the necessity of getting new en-
dorsers for renewals of licenses. Other
holes. it says, are TO be made in the
existing law by the passage of til e
bills TO allow social clubs to sell
liquors, to repeal that portion Of the
Werts law which provides that town
ships may hold elections to fix the
amount of license fees, and another
which permits the selling of liquors
in less quantities than one quart, to
be taken away from the premises.
Unfortunately, there is some truth
in these charges. The bill regarding
the renewal of licenses is a very ques-
tionable one, and an attempt is being
made to so rig the Club bill that any
dozen or twenty toughs can organ
lie an alleged club in the interest OF
some saloon keeper, and so provide
him with cover under which he can
run his business with practical inn
munity from police and excise regula-
ton.
We do not exactly see why clubs
should not pay reasonable license.
They have to pay Uncle Sans rev.
enue tax, and in other States clubs
are subject to the excise laws. There
seems to be no particular reason why
they should not contribute reason
able fee to the public expenses in con-
sideration of the right to sell liquor.
They are all rich bodies. They all
make a profit from their bars.
Still. if it gives them any great joy,
we do not, on the other hand, be-
grudge them the exemption if the
State sees fit to grant it. 1t is small
matter either way. But we do most
heartily protest against loose
statute which will pour any more free
rum into the community. We do not
believe the people viii tolerate such a
law, or easily forgive its enactment,
and we warn the Democratic mem
beers that they will do themselves and
heir party irreparable injury by let

The latest scheme Is to send Iugalls to the
House Of Representatives. He would prove a
lecided acquisition to that dull body State
Gazette.
Apparently the State Gazette has
not the same belief in ingalls, that the
Sun has. The Sun few days ago
advised the iridescent dreamer to
settle in New York and practice law,
and expires sed the opinion that he
would make a mint of money.
But the State Gazette is nearer right
In its estimate. He can make nothing
not even money. Whatever he h las
touched he has marred, including his
own fortunes and reputation. He
would be failure as a New York
lawyer just as he is failure as a
Kansas politician.
