PANIC IN A TENEMENT.
Twelve Families Saved from Burning
Building Last Night

New York, Dee. 90 -ShortIy be-
fore 7 O'clock last evening fire was
discovered ia Abraham Garfnkel's
shoe store on the ground floor of the
four-story brick building at No 176
Seventh avenue. So rapidly did the
fire spread that before the firemen ar
rived the store was like furnace.
The three upper floors of the build
ing were occupied by twelve families,
numbering about seventy people, who
became panic-stricken and fell over
each other in the Railways in their eff
forts to reach the stairway or fire es-
cape. The police ran into the build
ing, restored order and brought every
one down to the street in safety.
The fire entirely destroyed Garfn-
kel's stock, valued at $500, fully in
sured, aud did about $1,000 damage
to the building. The origin of the fire
is shrouded in mystery. Garfinkel and
his family went to Brooklyn to visit
relatives early in the afternoon, and
at that time there was no sign Of fire
in the store. The police and Fire
Marshal are investigating it.

Outrages on Railroad Laborers in the
Adirondacks.
WATERFOWL. Dec. 30.-T'he story
wired from Syracuse concerning out
RACES in the Adirondacks upon men
employed IN the construction Of the
Adirondack and St. Lawrence Rail
road is corroborated by the statements
of three other laborers who were at
Carthage, this county, Sunday, on
their way from Upper Lake, where
they had been working three months.
They tell substantially the same story
as that related by the men who were
in Syracuse. They say that by pc
culiar method of figuring and by out
rageous charges for the use Of company
property they were shown to be in debt
to the contractors every pay day. For
instance, they allege that they were
charged SO month for use Of tin
ware belonging to the contractors. As
there were seventy men in that camp,
the company would be receiving 800
for the use Of tinware not valued at
800.

TO OVERTHROW THE GEAR.
Grand Duke sergius Accused of Plotting
Against His Brother.

LONDON, Dee. Dispatches from
Warsaw state that the Grand Duke
Sergius, who is to be removed from
the Governorship of Moscow, has been
tampering with the loyalty of Russian
officials in Wilma, Moscow and War
saw, and that he is now suspected to
be at the head of a conspiracy to over
throw the Gar. Wholesale arrests
have been made, and more are ex-
pected to follow.

DYNAMITE IN TYRONE.
PLOT TO BURN AND ROB THE TOWN
BY THIEVES YESTERDAY
MORNING.
A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER THROWS
THE FIREMEN OFF THE SCENT
UNTIL THE FLAMES ARE
LIVELY.

TYRONE, Pa, December 31-The
residents Of this place believe that
thieves have taken possession Of the
town, and that they intend by incen-
diarism to distract the attention of the
people, and then commit wholesale
robberies.
SO early this morning the residents
were aroused by an explosion that
sounded like smothered blast of
dynamite. It was soon followed by
another.
In ten minutes a fire alarm was turn
ed in, but on repairing to the engine
house the firemen found a stranger
who told them the fire was out and
their services were not needed
The losses are as follows: w. A.
Leftover, contents of livery, $4,000,
partly covered by insurance J T.
Riddle, owner Of stable, $1,000; John
Maloney, stable, 800. Stable owned
by Miss Mary McCamant, loss $3.50.
They stood around talking about
the matter; when a second alarm was
sent in they responded.
Several other stables adjoining were
also burned. Eight horses and the
contents of the stables were consumed.
This time they found that the livery
stable Of A. Lefever, in the rear Of the
old Clearfeld Hotel, had been shat
tered by a blast and was seen in
flames.
There are many theories as to the
cause Of the explosions butmany think
it is deliberate plot to wreak ven
geance on some one and in the excite
ment caused by fires to wholesale bur-
glarize the town.

gan of the Mercer street station, and
he sent two detectives to investigate.
