The unterrified Tenth was yesterday
very much alive. II boiled. it seethed, 1t
bubbled with political activity and the re-
suit was very gratifying 10 the Republi-
cans. There is great big breach in the
Democracy and the leaders of rival fac
tions aren't throwing themselves into IL,
Curtius fashion, but are chipping on the
edges TO make il wider.
IL was Hiram Howard day with the Car

Howard's candidacy for mayoralty
honors which patted West on the back
and called him good fellow :" endorsed
the Common Council ticket voted not to
recognize the other faction in the ward
agreed TO naturalize new voters at the
clubs expense and named a committee for
the purpose, and had numerous sweet
things TO say about Mr. McNally
Meanwhile the McNally people were
holding another meeting, as the sequel OF
the one week ago which the NEWS told
all about. And the McNally people were
just as vigorous in their language as the
others.
This means grim-visaged War, rearing
its horrid front and shaking grisly locks
in grim defiance. Mr. Howard has brought
down upon his head the wrath Of the Nc
Nally cohorts, for they say he is on record
as threatening third ticket IL Mr.. Nc
Nally IA nominated. As the fight seems TO
be raging all the way from the Tenth
for the unterrifed.

ANOTHER NEW YORK TENEMENT
HOUSE PROVES A DEATH TRAP.

Charred Body-Three Dead, Two VIII
Probably Die.

NEW YORK, Oct 5.--Three persons were
roasted alive in tenement house fire

Mrs Murphy by a former marriage
Martin was, burned into shape almost
unacceptable.
The fire broke out in the tenement house
at the corner Of Hudson and Dominick
streets at $50 A. NJ, and was In itself a
small matter, being soon extinguished
with slight loss.
by one of life's strange condolences,
Matthew Murphy, husband of the dead
moned 10 the scene with truck
No. s. When he saw where the
fire was he dashed into the building
with absolute recklessness of his own life
though IL was full OF flames. His com
rades, fred by his example, sprang after
him. They found him on the hith noor
standing over the burned and blackened
forms Of his wife and stepsons.
Josie Ryan lay at "A little distance; she
was still alive when strong arms lifted her
tenderly, but died soon after being. re
moved. Katie Dunn was discovered dead
at the foot OF LADDER leading 10 the roof,
where she had been caught by the hames
and burned almost TO crisp before she
could mount the ladder.
LATER.-John Toohey, the younger, OF
Mrs. Murphy's two stepsons, has died OF
his burns in the hospital.
