able excitement and indignation was
caused here to day when It became
known that the steeple of one Of the
leading churches has been utilized as a
cock pit while the pastor was holding
services in the auditorium below. It is
said that a number of cooking mains
have been held there.
The handlers of the chickens entered
the building ostensibly for the purpose OF
anticipating in the worship, but instead
of going to the auditorium, they would
steal into the belfry.
Just how the chickens we're smuggled
into the place is not known, but it is
suspected that the pseudo worshippers
had them secreted beneath their coats.

Five Children Suffocated in a
Tenement Fire.
sM0THERED AS THEY SLEPT,

The Explosion OF a Kerosene stove In a
New York Tenement Sets Fire to the
Building and Kills Five Sleeping In
mates-SIany Narrow Escapes.
NEW YORK, March 3.-Five children

years of age; Hayman Bernstein, years
of age, Fanny Rosen, years of age; and
Rachel Bernstein, months old.
The children were alone in the room at
the time, their parents having left a
short time previous and locking the chill
dren in. The cause of the tragedy was a
kerosene stove, which belonged to Myer
Membert, who, with his family, occupies
the apartments adjoining those of the
Bernsteins.
Shortly before o'clock this morning

sene stove. 1t was standing on a table

caught fire but she beat out the flames
and, with her two children, made her
escape from the room. The fire swept
out into the hallway and up to the
roof like flash.
There were about twelve families in
the tenement, and when the cry of fire
was raised all who could rushed for the
fire escapes. The fremen soon arrived
and helped the frightened inmates down
TO the street. The upper portion of the
house was soon a mass of flame and when
the fireman tried to force their way 10 the
top floor they were beaten back by flame
and smoke.
Just as the blaze had died away and
the fire was under control wild shrek
of a woman came from among the
thrOng in the street. In a few seconds
a half frantic woman came rushing
through the crowd to the door of the
tenement 1t was Mrs. Bernstein. the
mother of three of the five suffocated
children. She had been out shopping
and the first she learned of the accident
was when she turned into Henry street
near her home and saw the flames issuing
from the building. She made desper
ate attempt to rush into the house and
it took two policemen to prevent her.
The fremen went to the Bernsteins S
departments as soon as possible and on a
bed in a rear room. found the four chill
dren dead. The fire had not touched the
room, but the young ones had been suffo
Gated as they slept, The iremen con
tinued their search and in another room
on the same floor found the body Of little
Fannie Rosen, also soffocated by the
smoke She, too, had been left alone il
