MIR. Schultzting sent a letter to the
City Hall tins morning asking for relief
from the famine At the City Works
Department all the offi ,ials were in ig-
norance of the famine.
Water Purveyor Milne at once de-
spatched n half dozen inspectors to as
certain the cause OF the lack of water.
MIR. Milne said that workmen had been
putting In branch main on Prospect

What is thought to have been an in
cendlary fire In the fve-story brown
stone double tenement-house at I'll East
Eightieth street, early this morning,
caused panic, and the nineteen fami-
lies residing the,c sought safety by
means of fire-escapes and the roofs.
The smoke In the Railways was so dense
tina; they did not dare to descend the
stairs, nor did they stop to dress or
gather up their va!uab.es.
At 3 o'clock this morning the nine
year.old daughter Of Mrs. Anna Cob
ler the janitress OF the house, who &C.
cupies apartments on the ground floor,
was awakened by the smoke, which
caused her to cough violently. She
called her mother, who found the hall
ways filled with smoke, which was pour
ing in from the cellar. Flames were
shooting from the cellar windows, and
the whole lower part of the house
seemed to be mass of seething flames
Mrs. Cohler assisted her eleven-year-
old son through a front window and he
dashed through the flames and rang in
an alarm at the nearest box. Mean
while Mrs. Cohier's screams aroused the
other tenants, and n panic ensued.
BY this time the halls and most of the
apartments were 80 thick with smoke
that breat thing was next to impossible.
The terrified tenants fled in their night
clothes, some by the way OF the frees
capes, while those on the upper floors
climbed through the scuttle to the roof.
Henry Morgan. his wife, two children
and Mrs. Ladisaw Schultz. twenty-five
years old. a boarder wh) I've on the

the smoke. They escaped through the
windows with great difficulty. Mrs.

trate their differences. They held sew
cral meetings yesterday. There was con-
siderable aggressiyeness, but little riot
Gus demonstration. The strikers finally
agreed to trust to arbitration, and ap-
Lointed a committee to confer with the
packlng-hous people and to arb!trate on
a scale of wages. The strikers called on
the manasers Of the packing houses and
were told they would be given an
answer to-day. From other sources 1t
Ii learned the answer will be a positive
refusal to meet The arbitration commit
tee and to grant any terms, except a
complete surrender and return of the
men at the old scale.
Fifty butchers arrived from Chicago
at noon and were rushed into the works
before the strikers had time to speak to
them. Several bodies of men have Sc
cretly entered the plants. and 1t Is now
asserted by the packers that they have
enough butchers to replace all the m. n
cut. A dlning-hai has been fitted up in
the various plants, and the new men
