A HUB DEATH TRAP.
One Man Killed and
Others Badly Injured.
STRANGE FUNERAL SCENE.
Pugilist Billy Frazier breaches Over
the Body ofiMarcellus Baker.

BosToS, May 2T.-The cheap lodging
house known as the Hotel Royal, located
at l43 court street, was the scene of holo-
caust at 2 o'clock this morning, the direct
result of crowding human beings into
rooms just large enough to put bed In,
some of them without even a window, and
with no adequate means OF escape.
As result Of the fire Jack Quinn is
dead at the North Grove street morgue;
G. Clark is at the Massachusetts general
hospital, and will probably die; William
III. Wright is badly burned about the
back and arms; +. +. Parks, q cripple. is
badly burned about the upper part Of the
body and nearly asphyxiated, and an un-
known man was badly burned about the
head and arms. The last named disap-
peared I'm the crowd. Ladderman Mcguire
of ladder was badly cut by flying glass.
He was sent to the general hospital.
The fire started in the upper floor, and
before the frightened inmates were aware
of Its presence the house was filled with
smoke. The sixty-fve occupants rushed
from their rooms clad In their night
clothes. The fire was extinguished without
doing much damage to the building.
The origin Of the flames is I'm dispute,
some attributing it to "a kerosene lamp;
but the police think it resulted from a
fight, SAID to have been going on In one of
the corridors, and during which a lamp
was knocked from the little shelf in one
Of the rooms by n man knocked against
partition.
The fremen, from Chief Webber down,
were loud in their denunciation OF allow
ing any such place as the top floor of the
building was to exist as a hotel, saying
that the only wonder to them was that q
soul on that floor escaped alive.

The organette ground out the following
last evening: "The Democratic ticket
Is made up principally OF revenue states
men, Fellows who are in it for what
they can get out of it. They don't care a
particle for the taxpayers, the prosperity
Of the town or anything else. They only
want to get grab at the town treasury.
But they will be disappointed, for when
the vote is counted on election night they
will discover that they are mot in it,"
Can any man Of reason, whether he Is a.
Republican or Democrat, sanction such
vile, utterly false insinuations as thel
above? Does that misguided young man
mean to say that such men as John N :.
Butman, George w. Burnham, John Hill,
Harley +. Colwell, William II. Corey,
John Cullen, Napoleon Fountain and
George w. jerks are merely salary grab,
bers? Those men lived here and paid
taxes in this town before the writer was
old enough to vote. "They do not care
for the taxpayers" is one of the senten-
ces. Well 1t would be funny IL they did
not when, II they cared to do nothing for
the prosperity Of the town, they would
be injuring themselves by being tax
payers. OF all the senseless sayings that
have graced the columns of that sheet
this one can be posted at the head of the
list. II is as near the truth, however, as
many articles published.

Billy Frazier breaches Over the Rody
of His Deceased Friend.
Boston, May 27.-One professional pugil-
ist preaching a funeral sermon over the
body of another, while the grave was open
to receive IL, was the spectacle which was
witnessed yesterday by the assembled
friends Of the late Marcellus Baker, the
pugilist, who died in this city few days
ago.
The beautiful cemetery at Forest Hills
never contained more mostly gathering
in appearance, nor one whose grief for O
departed friend appeared to be mora sim
cere. Standing In the midst Of that
strange assemblage, Billy Frazier, the
man who abandoned the ring for the pull
pit, and then returned to pugilism, lifted
his voice to plead for the soul Of the man
whose life had gone out while he was in
the grasp Of the world.
His clear, pathetic tones touched the
hearts OF the men who knew him as q
fighter, but not as Il preacher. He dwelt
on the mystery of life and the problem of
death, which is past the understanding of
man. There was no voice from beyond Che
grave to answer us, he said, but to the
listening heart the voice of God was heard,
telling Of the life hereafter.
lehTs tdine W JHe eyes Oh MS hearers as
the speaker referred to the many good
qualities of the friend who had left them.
After the coffin was lowered into the
grave, Frazier repeated from the Revela-
tions: 81 heard n voice from heaven, say
ing unto me, blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord" and as he ended the words
which promise resurrection. he added:
'You were my friendIn life, and am yours
in death. Farewell, farewell till the res
direction morn"
Then. while all knelt, he offered up Q
silent prayer. So ended the strange scene,
whose like has probably never been seen
before.
