By the Associated Press.l
New York, Feb. g. Fire caused by
gas explosion in cellar destroyed a
double five-story tenement house at 423
West Thirty-ninth street this afternoon.
The building was occupied by 20
families. John Peterson, gas inspec-
tor, was killed and l6 inmates of the
house feariully burned. One or two of
them may die. Peterson had been sent
into the cellar to repair leaking pipes.
He had been in the cellar 20 minutes
when John Waschman, who occupied
the first floor, heard him groaning.
Taking up a candle he started towards
the cellar. As he opened the door
a sheet Of flame shot out,
then followed a laundering report.
Waschman and his clerk, John Man
ming, were thrown into the street. John
Mclaughlin, another employee, was
hurled 10 feet and lay unconscious. The
big tenement shook with the force OF
the explosion. There were wild ehriekB
of terror from every floor and screaming
women and children rushed to the win
dows and fire escapes. Out of 100 or
more persons who lived on the upper
floors few can tell how they escaped.
The fremen who came on the first
alarm found the building ablazs. A
second and third alarm were ordered.
Scaling ladders were placed against the
sides of the building and long extension
ladders raised to the roof; down these
the tenants swarmed. The pecuniary
loss is about $4,000.

A government official from the Pine
Ridge country, who was in the city to-

in a much worse condition than indi-
Gated by the dispatches relative to the
recent troubles. He says all dispatches
have to be inspected and edited by agent
Brown before they are sent out. This
was done with dispatches about the
murder of four cowboys. Their murder
WAS the result Of ghost dancing in which
many OF the Indians afs engaged. When
the weather moderates, he says, there
will almost certainly be an outbreak.
The settlers are petitioning to have

A TOTAL LOSS.
The Steamsr Wilmington Burned to tn
Waters Edge.

The Steamer Wilmington Burned to the
Waters Edge.
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 6.-The steamer
Wilmington which caught fire Saturday
night from her cargo of lime, is total
loss. She was valued at $4,000.
The Wilmington arrived at Linnton
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon and
discharged cargo OF lime rock. At 8
o'clock one Of the men discovered smoke
issuing from the aft hold. An investi-
CATION proved that the lime, of which
the vessels cargo was composed, was on
fire. The mate with q
couple OF men went down in the hole
and made an attempt to smother the
flames, but the smoke was too dense and
sitting and it drove them back. Cap
tain Badge, who was in command, was
now seriously alarmed but saw that very
little could be done to stay the progress
of ne flames and the vessel was moored
alongside the dock and the men were
put to work removing what little freight
there was besides lime. A small amount
of furniture, bedding, the ships nautical
instruments and records were saved.
The stewards stores were situated aft
of the fire and could not be reached on
account of the flames and eventually be-
came totally destroyed.
AS soon as 1t was discovered that the
fire was beyond control, the ship was
scuttled to save, If possible, the wood
work. This was effected by opening the
sea cock and the vessel filled with
water. The displacement. however, was
not sufficient TO sink the vessel to the
bottom of the river, though her hull was
filled with lime and water. Still the
fire was confined below decks. Unable
to do anything more, the men aataround
in the cabin and awaited morning to
come. AS the day broke the heat drove
them from the cabin and they went
ashore. The fire broke out through the
decks and the work of destruction was
completed in few hours. Captain
Badger and the crew arrived here this
afternoon.
