LEAPED TO DEATH
Fire Causes a Panic in a New
 York Tenement.
JUMPED FROM FIRE ESCAPES
Eight Persons Were Injured, Four O
 Whom Will Probably Die.

Two of the Latter are a Young WSsnAn
 and the Man Whom She Came to
 This Country to Marry---He Jumped
 From inc Fourth Story Fire Escape and
 She Immediately Followed Him---l.ist
 of the Injured.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-A fire occurred last night in the rear four-story tenement house at No. ST Hester street, which was occupied by eight families of Russian Hebrews, numbering in all forty per sons.
 The fire originated through the acci- dental upsetting of a kerosene lamp in the apartments of Solomon Zalinsky, on the second floor, and spread with amaz- ing rapidity through the rickety, old tenement
 The escape of the inmates by the stair way was cut off and, panic stricken, they fled to the roof and to the fire escapes.
 Eight of them were so badly frightened by the near approach of the fire that they leaped to the courtyard below.
 All sustained serious injuries and three of the injured will die. Their names and the character of their injuries are:
 Fannie Levi, 17 years old, three ribs broken and one leg injured.
 Louis Kaufman, IS years old, skull fractured, several ribs and both legs broken; will die.
 Solomon Zalinsky, 8S years old, leg broken.
 Emanuel Grill, g years old, leg broken.
 Samuel Grill, 88 years old, leg broken.
 Anna Goldstein, 55 years old, contu- sions of head and body.
 Frieda Goldstein, IS months old, com pound fracture of the skull; will die
 The other tenants remained on the roof and on the fire escapes from which places they were safely rescued by the firemen when they arrived on the scene. The loss by fire amounts to about q 900.
 Later Rebecca Pomerantz, 20 years old, was brought to the hospital severely in jured. She had jumped from the fourth story of the burning bnilding but had been carried into an adjoining house and lost sight of for time.
 The physician at the hospital found that her injuries were of the most serious character, her back having been broken. She was shrieking from intense paid but the doctors could do nothing to relieve her. She will die.
 It was in the midst of the excitement that Louis Kaufman, who worked for a cloakmaker on the top floor, jumped from the fire escBpe on the fourth floor. solomon Zalinski, in whose apartments tine fire started and who was one of the first to escape from the building, tried to catch him. Both men fell heavily to the ground.
 Nearly every bone in Kaufman's body was broken. His death, the physicians at Gouverneur Hospital believe, is a mat ter of few hours. Zalinsky, who hero ically attempted to save him, had his right leg broken.
 A rather romantic feature of the fire is the history of Miss Fannie Levi of No 19 12 Bayard street. She came from Poland only few months ago and was the affianced bride of young Kaufman, whom she was visiting when the fire broke out.
 He ran with her to the fire escape, from which she jumped immediately after him. Both her legs are broken and she was so badly injured internally that the chances are that she and her affianced husband will be united il death.

New Mode of Preparing Lubricants.

An improvement in the preparation of lubricants is described by Krause, a German chemist The soap formed by treating wool grease with alkaline lye is dissolved in water and filtered, and to this a solution of alum or other alumina salt is added, the result being the formation of brown precipitate, and this is called aluminum-lanolate
 With this substance, when dried, lubri- eating oils of any degree of viscosity desired may be produced by dissolving it in any fluid mineral oil. It is also found that if dissolved in small quan- tity of mineral oil, gelatinous sub stance is obtainc1 which may with con- siderable advantage be mike d, in suit able proportions, with India rubber or gutta-percha. Solvents for India rub Der are said to be also solvents for aluminum-lanolate. In textile indus tries this substance may be used as a securing agent Tribune.

Bliss Burke's Death Causes ExcitrIr ent a
 DunkirE, N. Y.

Dunkirk, N. Y.
 BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. "A supposed case of person being buried alive has caused great excitement in the town of Dunkirk.
 Last Friday morning Miss Frances Burke, a 16-year-old heiress, who had been i'll for some time with pulmonary trouble, was sitting on her fathers knee, when she was seized with fit of cough ing and fell over apparently lifeless.
 The parents, instead of calling physi- elan, made arrangements with an under taker named Kolb to take charge of the remains and prepare them for burial. The mother of the girl is said to have protested, claiming that her daughter was not dead, but her wishes were set aside and nasty preparations made to bury the girl Saturday morning.
 Before the remains left the house mem bers of the family say that a looking glass was placed over the young lady s mouth for a moment, and when taken away there was moisture upon it. Her lips, it is said, were red, and color came to the cheeks of the girl and then faded away again, Every appearance indicated it is said, that life was not extinct, and why a physician was not called in to decide the matter is mystery.
 At the grave the mother made a scene, declaring that the girl was alive, but the coffin was lowered into the grave despite her protests.
 The Dunkirk people are very indignant over the affair and demand an investiga- tion. The authorities have finally con sented to take cognizance of the matter and the grave will be opened and an investigation made.
