: NEW YORK, June 5.-Five persons
We're killed at a fire that began just
about midnight Saturday night in the
fve-story fat house at 1873 East Forty
third street, half block from the Press

William Bente. a stenographer; Mrs. Bente
his wife: Elsie Bente, his sister, aged 20;
Helen Wetmore Dietz, his niece; Edward
Pugsley, young man who roomed on the top
floor. 8
All these were on the top floor when
the fire was discovered. All the fats
in the house were occupied except the
third, and there the fire began. It
broke through the roof in a minute,
mounting the stairway. shaft, and
illuminated the whole neighborhood.
From l3s and the houses on each side
men and women in their nightgowns
and bare feet poured into the street.
From the fourth floor Charles H.:

were among the refugees from

each found that the other had
seen nothing of the Bentes and

was easily controlled, but before it was
put out and within ten minutes from
their arrival the fremen had long lad

building and were beginning a search,

IN 4. BURNING MINE.
IWe nty-six Men Perish In . Mexican
COllierv

Colliery.
EAGLE Pass, Tex, June 5.-Fire
broke out at4 o'clock p. m. Saturday
IN the Fuente coal mine on the line of
the Mexican National railway, on the
banks of the Rio Escondhido river.
About one-half Of the miners were
working near the main tunnel and these
made their escape. leaving twenty-six
ct their number tosperish by the heat
and smoke and from the poisonous
gases, which spread like lightning to
every portion of the mines.
There are twenty-six chambers in the
mine, and the dead miners are supposed
to be well to the front Of the mine. At
- o'clock Sunday one body had been
recovered from the seventh chamber,
and shortly after another, fearfullv
scorched and blackened, was brought
to the surface. The tenth chamber has
been reached, and men with ropes
tied to their bodies, to effect
their rescue if overcome by heat
and smoke, are fighting their way to
where the. bodies of their dead com
rades are lying. Superintendent George
Spence ventured in too far and was
overcome by heat and smoke He was
Frustrated, but was rescused. 1t is be-
lieved that tonight the mine will be
cleared of the heat and smoke, which
at present it is impossibl to cope with,
and that all the bodies will be recov-
cred.
Large numbers of the friends and
relatives of the unfortunate miners are
gathered at the mouth of the mine
mutely awaiting the recovery off the
bodies of their sons and husbands
When a body is taken out there is
an outburst of grief, and a look of
quiet resignation and deep grief appears
upon every countenance. Hundreds of
people from Eagle Pass and Piedras
Negras have visited the scene, and the
smoke still issuing from the airshafts
.impresses on all the folly of hoping any.
OF the men may be taken out alive.
All the miners employed were Mexi-
cans and most of them leave destitute
families It is reported that all the
parties responsible for the manage
ment of the mines have been placed un-
der arrest pending an investigation of
the causes of the disaster. This is the
first great disaster in the history of coal
mining in Mexico.
