A FEARFUL SCENE.
Fire in a Chicago Tenement
EARLY This Morning.
Cooped Up in the Building
Without Hope Of Escape.
AT Least One Family Perished
in the Flames.

CHICAGO, Sept. l9.-One OF the most
disastrous fires that has visited this city
for some time started after l o'clock this
morning in four-story tenement on
Sedgwiok street on the North Side.
Although the blazs lasted bit ffty-fye
minutes the loss OF lite made the trifing
damage to property stand out Insignificant
in comparison.
The basement building and lower floor
was used as a bakery by VIM. Kafftz. In
the rear Of his oven room the fire started.
In the upper stories of the building were
five families and genes following the first
discovery of the fire were terrible to be
hold.
Within an incredible short time men,
women and children in night clothes were
hurrying through the burning building.
All egress was cut off. In the rear the
fire had gained fierce Roadway up the
stairway and as there was no fire escape
the single flight of stairs in the front Of
the building afforded but little oppor-
tunity for the people to save their lives.
On the first floor lived Vim. Burrin,
who was awakened by smoke and heat.
The partitions . hst room were already
charred in ~pifces and his escape was
almost miraculous. He and family got
out safely, though he was slightly burned
about the face.
The dead are: John Schalk, Mrs.
Sohalk, their son John. aged IA; son
Henry, aged 8; daughter Anna, aged Is.

A Leap From a Fast Moving Street
Car Results in Death.
ATLANTA, GA, May 2l.-James Thorn
ton, stove molder, in attempting to jump
from a rapidly moving car on the Metro
politan dummy line this afternoon, was
hurled to the ground and had his head
crushed on the pavement. Thornton, Rob-
ert Hatchell and three other men had been
on visit to the glass works, where they
had picked up several glass balls. With
these the party, all grown men, amused
themselves by tossing in the air and catch
ing them. One of the balls fell to the
ground as the car ran swiftly down a steep
grade Thornton and Hatchell sprang to
the street to recover possession OF It.
They jumped simultan sously, and the mo-
mentum acquired from the rapid move
ment of the car threw their bodies forcibly
together, and they we're hurled against the
pavement. Both men sustained injuries
about the head. Taornton's skull was
crushed in by the Belgian blocks, and he
died soon after.

OF the Charleston and Savannah railroad,
and General Passenger Agent W. III. David
son of the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway are stopping at the De Soto.
The railroads have determined to contest
tho Alabama railroad commission law.
After paying the license tax without
murmer since the creation Of the commission
TO the present time, the Central railroad OF
Georgia now refuses 70 pay the tax, ex-
pressing doubts as TO the right Of the state
70 levy ii. The following letter has been
sent TO Auditor Hogus Of Alabama:
Hon. Gurus D. Ho0ue, auditor State of Ald-
bdmd, Montgomery, Atd.:
DEAR sIR-keferring TO yours OF April %. en-
closing notice license tax assessed against the
Following companies:
Mobile and Girard railroad ........... Sie9 IS
Montgomery and Eufaula railroad w S05 IS
Columbus aud Western raiload ......... $50 IS

East Alabama railroad 65 "a
am advised by the attorneys OF these com.
panies that there exists a very grave doubt as
to the right OF the state 70 assess the license
tax, and think the several roads should not pay
until the courts decide our liability.
Under this opinion will have to decline pay
ment; but would be glad to have the opinion of
the states attorney 10 submit TO our general
solicitors.
Yours very truly,
EDwD. McISrYRE, Controller.
Auditor Hogue has referred the letter 10
Attorney General Martin for his opinion,
which he has now under consideration
pending which the auditor notified the Gen.
trail road that unless the license tax was
promptly paid suit would be entered to
compel payment. The railroad commission
is paid-like other state officers-out of the
state treasury, and the matter will not
affect that body in any way. II the
courts decide the tax to be unoonstl-
tutional, the loss will fall upon the
state. Lawyers differ upon the question at
issue. and there are great many people
who have all along thought it wrong to re-
| quire the railroads to incur the sustenance
| of the commission, even indirectly. The
question will now be determined by the
courts, which will determine the right OF
the state to assess the special tax against the
| railroads. While the case is made by the
Central railroad. it is regarded as a test
case in which all the roads, of course, have
! an interest.
