COOPED IN BY FIRE.
Flames Choke the Stairway of
a Crowded Teneme2t.
TWO VAINLY LEAP FOR LIFE

Michael Doyle and Daughter are
Fatally Injured BY Leaping to the
Pavement-The Bravery of Flremen
Saves Many Lives-How the Fire
Started.
NEW YORK, Dec. "A fire in the ten
ement house, $40 Flushing avenue,
Brooklyn, at / o'clock this morning,
resulted in the killing Of two persons
father and child, and the serious injury
of at least half-a- dezen others.
The dead are Michael Doyle, 40 years
old, and Nellie Doyle, years of age.
The injured are: James Murray, his
wife and six children, another of the
Doyle children and the four members of
the Grimes family.
The fire broke out in the cellar and
was due, it is believed to the careless
ness Of Michael Monahan an aged, home
less man, who has been in the habit of
sleeping there. He is under arrest.
The fire spread with great rapidity
through the Railways and airshaft and
cut off all escape by means of the stair
ways. The fremen were quickly on the
scene and promptly turned their atten-
tion to the rescue of the panic-stricken
tenants, who stood at the windows i'm
ploring help. Those living on the first
floor were rescued in safety, but while
this was occurring the fire had crept
nearer TO those in the upper stories.
Doyle attempted TO save his little ones
by throwing them from the window and
had tossed two of them out when he him
self fell to the pavement. He and the
little girl Nellie was fatally injured and
died almost instantly. he other child
was badly hurt and removed to hospi
tai. Meantime the firemen had succeeded
in reaching the Doyle apartments and
Mrs. Doyle and the remainder of the
children were rescued in safety.
James Murray, his wife and six chill
dren, who had rooms on the third floor
were badly burned in making theil
escape, and were also sent to a hospital
James Grimes and his family, consisting
of two children and their crippled grand
mother, owe their lives to the braver,
of the firemen, who rescued them in tn
nick of time. All are suffering from ba'
burns
When all the tenants had been takel
from the building the fremen turne
their attention to the flames, which the
soon had under control. A few thousand
of dollars will cover the financial loss.

Court-Nfr. Bayard Talks.


A despatch from Richmond, Va, states

ming at BrOadwater Inlet In that state,
may appear in court at Richmond on
Monday, as he has been summoned to
come before the Richmond Chancery
Court to answer bill of complaint
against Lawyer Willis b. Smith Of that
city.
The suit was instituted year ago last
May. The plaintiff set up claim Of
$500 damages for an alleged
breach OF contract for services
rendered in connection with Virginia's
debt. Mr. Cleveland was chairman Of
the advisory board to whom the Olcott
committee agreed 10 refer the matter of
Nirginia's debt.
Associated with him were ex-Secretary
Bayard, ex-minister f. J. Phelps and
others.
All Of them are named as defendants
n his bill, together with the Olcott com
mittee, the London bondholders, and
others The plans submitted by the
Olcott committee were by Mr.. Cleveland
and his associates
Smiths suit was almost forgotten but
was revived when he and Mr. Royal
attached the SEA, 600, 600 of bonds sent
to Richmond to be funded
They were only released upon an In.
denniiying bond being furnished for tho
amount Of Mr.. Royals claim. Smith has
only been waiting for some of the de
fendauts 20 enter Virginia AS a conse
quence the papers were formally served
on Mr.. Cleveland on Hog Island.
The despatch was shown 20 exSeore
tary Of State Bayard today. He said
1T is such a stupid thing know moth
ing at all about IL, but IL mus
be some sensational proceeding. Mr.

SEIDL ORCHESTRA CONCERT.
A NIGHT WITH WAGNER AT THE
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Few Hearers But They Were Delighted.
The Rendition of "The Wizard of Bay
reuth's" Only Comedy Was a Feature.

reuth's" Only Comedy Was Feature.
A grand Wagner concert was given by
the Metropolitan Orchestra under the
direction of the world d-renowned Anton
Seidl at the Grand Opera House, last
night with Herr Emil Fischer, basso,
and Miss Amanda Fabris, soprano, as
soloists. There was an entire Wagner
program, and though the audience was a
good and select one, it must be confessed
that there was dearth of applause and
enti usiasm on some of the numbers, al
though, in the main, the appreciation
was high.
The feature of the evening was the
singing of Mr.. Fischer, and the exquisite
accompaniment and establishment to
his solo work by the artistic instrument
alists. Mr.. Fischer was the only one
that drew forth wild applause, but while
acknowledging the appreciation Mr..
Fischer refused to respond to the re-
peatedencores. "Meistersinger, Wagner s
only comedy was beautifully rendered by
the orchestra and Director Seidl was twice
called to the footlights after its rendi-
tion.
A reporter Of the EVENING JOURNAL
called on Anton Seidl, the great Wag
merriam conductor, at his room in the
Clayton House last night The music
ian, who has held immense audiences
spellbound, was in good spirits, but very
tired. He said;
1--WE are meeting with marvellous
success this season and the house TO-
night was the smallest we ever ap
peared before with this program.
think, however, that if we returned this
season we could crowd the house. Our
house at Baltimore. where we go tomor
row, and also at Washington, ID. c., is
sold out from top to bottom. Everybod,
can appreciate Wagnerian music when
properly played and even its enemies
are forced to admit that it has hiddel
charms that can only be developed b.
such an orchestra as ours is this season
This is our first appearance in the South
l mean south Of the Mason and Dixol
line, and feel confident that our success
will be complete"

said In the cross examination Of wit
ness. Major Stewart persisted he was
right. Judge stump told Mr. Russum
not TO interrupt Mr. Stewart Mr.. Rus
sum bowed to the dictum OF the Judge
but when Mr. Stewart iterated what Mr.

and am responsible for what l say
about IL. either here or elsewhere
This caused sensation for little while,
but In few minutes IL was all over and
Mr.. Stewart aud Mr.. Russum were
blandly smiling at each other.

a Great Fish Story.

The Rev. Mr.. Allen, Trinitarian con-
gregationalist, and the Rev. Wyman,
unitarian, went a-fishing few days
ago from West Gouldsboro, where
they are preaching. They came to an
anchor on one of the grounds in the
vicinity of Iron-bound island.
Good luck attended them and in
unity they devoted themselves to the
trinity of cod, hake and pollock, which
they caught in great numbers. By
noon they grew hungry, like ordinary
mortals, and so dined on chicken and
other good viands. During their re-
past they threw overheard chicken
bone. Two or three hours afterward
they caught a large Goldfish weighing
twenty-five pounds and within that fish
they found that identical chicken bone
which they threw overheard!
It is now understood that these

to read something like this: "Cast
your chicken bones on the water and
after little time they shall be return.

you may have for the catching."-
