VERITABLE DEATH.rRAP.
Two Lodgers Cremated in a Buff
falo Boarding House.

BUFFALO, Jan. 2. The new year was
but little more than twenty-four hours
old when Buffalo was visited by one5of
the most fatal fires in her history. Those
dead and likely to die recall the horni-
bic catastrophe of the burning of the
Hotel Richmond on the memorable 18th
of March. 1887. The scene of the fire
which occurred this morning was Mrs
Annie Hackett's lodging house, No. u
Swan street. a four-stOry brick building
of the tumble-doWn order. The first
floor was used for saloon and restau-
rant.and the second and third floors were
used for sleeping rooms. The beds
were in little compartments, and like
box stalls i'll stable. Shortly before 8
O'Clock people passing heard the large
panes of glass in the saloon crack, and
moment later cloud of thick black
smoke and tongue of flame darted out
OF the place. Almost at the same time
the front and side windows of the Iodg-
ing house seemed 10 be alive VITA
panic-stricken people. They rushed
from one window to another.
and called piteously to the
crowd to help them to escape from the
blazing building. There was no ladder
anywhere, no fire escapes on the build

pants. Two people were burned and
about twenty others badly injured, at
least five of whom are likely to die.

BERLIN, Jan. O. Several reports re-
Gently have been circulated regarding

have taken place at Krosche Kowne,
Russia. Cossack soldiers belonging to
the Russian government are said to
have committed the outrages. Various
versions of the affair have been gwen,
and each version has been officially de-
MED by the Russian government. The
Cologne Gazette some days ago repudi-
ated these official deniais, and professed
to'give details of the cruelty OF the Cos
sacks, who were said to have surround
ed 4 Roman Catholic church at Krosche,
and to have knouted men, women and
children in front of the building. a
number of the unfortunate people were
said to have been killed and their bodies
thrown into lime pits where they were
consumed. The Cologne Volks Zeitung
today gives more details of the terrible
tragedy, seeming to confirm the most
startling reports circulated, and describ-
ing other horrors. The number OF peo-
pie killed is said to be from 20 to 100.

A ROMANTIC sfORY,
Coupled With Murder, Being
Investigated.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, jan 2-The trial
of Marshal Ashton, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Daniel Stone, began to-
Gay. The story is romantic one. One
dark night Hon. Daniel Stone, one of
richest men in Rock county. was called
from his home and struck on the head
with club. Mr.. Stone hired a detect
i've, William NJ. Butt. to find out who
assaulted him. Butt stopped at the
Stone house under the gulse of fisher
man. Ii was whispered that he believed
that Mrs. Stone did the clubbing. This
report created sensation, but nothing
like the sensation that came when Mrs.
Stone was found dead in the cistern at
her home. The grand jury indicted
Matthew Ashton. nephew of Mrs.
Stone. who resided on the same farm.
Daniel Stone, until his death a short
time ago, was Ashtun's firm friend, and
went his bail in the sum OF $4,000. He
steadily refused to believe Ashton
guilty. The third chapter came in the
contest of the will of Stone. in which
Ashton was the chief beneficiary. This
case is still unsettled. Nothing was ac.
complished in the murder trial today
but the work of empaneIing jury.

HEAVY IRON FAILURE.
Montgomery Iron Company Fails
for $33O,OOO.

for $3.50, 900.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2. The Mont-
gomery Iron company. whose works are
at Port Kennedy, failed today for $780,
coo. The assignment was made to the
Guaranty Trust company, of HARRIS
burg. The Montgomery Iron company
is one of the oldest established plants ia
this part of the state, and consistent
tirely of blast furnaces. The first blast
was blown in 1854, and the works have
been almost continuously in blast ever
since. The annual product was about
5000 tons. For several months the pig
iron trade has not been active enough
for this firm to realize on its stock IN
hand, or get money ON outstanding bills
for the same reason. Their creditors,
however, have been clamoring for their
money for some time, and the announce
ment today of the assignment did not
cause much surprise on the street. Ia
fact, rumor of the failure was cur.
rent Saturday. Abraham S. Patterson,
president of the Montgomery Iron COM
pany, was seen today by an Associated
Press reporter at his Office in this CITY.
In reference to the affairs of his COM
pany Mr.. Patterson said:
1.-The cause Of our assignment was
simple one. We did not have money
enough TO pay our bills, and we made
the assignment for the benefit of our
creditors, without preferences. The liza.
bilities are $3.50, 600, with assets, which
include the plant, real estate and stock,
valued now at about $500 But in
the present state OF the market it will
hardly bring that much If Sold"
Mr.. Patterson is also president of the
Mahoning Rolling Mill and Pulaski Iron
companies, He would not say whether
these concerns would be in anyway
affected by the failure of the Port Ken
nedy plant. (

Hunt evidently made no mistake for
himself in thus occupying Blocks time.
MT. Block, however, was not entirely
idle, even if lie did waste considerable
