Several Persons Badly Hurt by Jumping

Several Peraons Badly Hurt by Jumping
from the Windows of Burning Tene-
ment in Brooklyn.
BRooKLYN, Aug. 19.-At a. m. Fri
day fire destroyed block of frame ten
ement houses on Cooper street. Seven
houses were burned and thirty-one
families rendered homeless. Several
persons leaped from the windows and
were injured, three or four fatally.
All the occupants of the houses
were asleep when the flames burst
forth. The fire began in the grocery
store at 81 Cooper street. The Lieber
family, next door, was hemmed in on
the third floor by the flames.
Frank Lieber, the father, be-
came panic-stricken and rolling his
youngest child Josie aged
4, in mattress threw her
out of the window. He shouted to Liz
zie, aged II, and Maggie, aged 13, his
other daughters, to jump for their lives.
They grasped each others hands and
leaped to almost certain death. Mag
gle was internally injured and all
her limbs were fractured. Lizzie
had three ribs broken and was
internally injured. Her recovery
is possible. Josie was injured inter
nally and is dying. Lieber also jumped,
but beyond being badly bruised and
cut was not hurt. Maggie and Katie
Schlang, sisters, leaped from the win
dows at 295 and were badly cut and
bruised. The neighbors say the Liebers
could have been saved if they had but
waited. Loss $40, 900.

G. F. Myers is said to have refused adj
mittance to the four children of Frank
Liever, who were among the injured at
the early morning fire on Cooper street,
near the Brooklyn city line, by which
twenty-five families were made
homeless. This aroused indigna-
ton, which deepened during the
day until it eliminated in a
riot in the evening, in which Myers
saloon was demolished after much of
its contents had been destroyed. The
rioters were only dispersed after sever
al had been wounded by shots fred by
deputy sheriffs from Newtown. A sec
ond and third attack was made upon
Myers house and at midnight the mob
was still fighting with the constdbles
and the rioting had assumed serious
proportions.

New YORK, Aug 19.-R. q. Dun &

"There is a rift in the clouds. Faint and yes
definite signs Of improvement are all the better
because they gome, not from possibly delusiye
hopes or from mOmentary foreign aid, but from
the good sense and the wonderful recuperative
power OF the people themselves Business is
trying to go ahead without waiting for Wash
iugton. Imported gold, 40, 900 600 or more during
the week, does not go to the right spot but the
people are creating homemade currency for
themselves by using certified checks in paying
hands, settling local accounts and pur-
chasing grain and cotton. Little money
comes back as yet from timid boards, and the
paralysis Of exchange is nearly as complete as
ever, but that very fact pushes each section and
city into relying more on itself and less on gov
ernment and Wall street. Assumptions are
now becoming somewhat frequent and in the
very shrinkage OF production men see evidence
that demand must soon overtake supply
1.-The decrease OF 25 per cent in clearings out
side New York last week and 30 per cent this
week is only natural little more money is
now found for commercial loans and failures
OF banks have become both less important and
less frequent, though the greatest caution is
shown in accommodations. The receivership
for Northern Pacific had been so fully
discounted that IL produced little effect,
though this is the third great railroad
default this year, and the aggregate stocks
and bonds OF the three roads amount
to s650OOJ,000 Prices OF securities have
yielded comparatively little Cotton fell 4
quarter OF a cent with somewhat better re-
ports OF probable yield. Wheat drags near the
lowest figures ever known in spite OF decrease
in visible supply, for, though western receipts
are not large stocks on hand are far beyond
the power Of spectators to carry with money
markets in their present condition. The move
ment OF corn is decidedly large, with crop pros
poets improving.
Important relief comes from the abatement
OF the drain upon savings banks and OF the de-
mand upon other banks for currency to he used
in paying hands in this and adjacent states.
The commercial failures this week number
455 in the United States, against 1872 for the
same week last year. and - in Canada, against
p last year. Two OF the failures were of firms
employing over 100000 capital cach twelve
others were employing each over 100000 and
ninety'two were firms OF over $1,000 capital"
