Miss FRANCIS WILLARD, the w,
G. II. u. apostle and a woman of
great worth and influence III the
cause Of temperance is said to now
favor government censorship Of
theaters and government owner
ship of newspapers. If she per-
sists in advocating these "reform'
schemes she will soon lose her grip
on the estimation the public has
long held her in. The legitimate
theater is a most valuable adjunct
to higher civilization; and there
are already ways of suppressing
the ilIegitimate where public SEN
timent is against them, just as the
saloon is already suppressed in
communities where public senti-
ment is against it. The thing
then is to educate public senti-
ment just as Miss Willard has so
long been doing in the temperance
cause. As to the government con
troll of newspapers, that is no new
thing. 1t is in vogue in almost
all other countries but this, and to
the great detriment of the people

Ir is getting time o year when
those who contribute literally to
the cause of christianizing the hea-
then in foreign lands should turn
their attention to the unfortunate
ones nearer home who need food,
fuel and raiment more than stories
of glories in the realm they go to
after. they have starcvd, frozen OF
died of neglected sickness. There
would be something like true
Christianity in giving the foreign
pensioners a back seat and using
our boasted liberality for the re-
lief of the needs of those not hea-
thens.

Angry Over the Testimony Of
a Criminal.
Chairman Lexow Tells the Complain
ant to Behave Himself.
Th District Attorney Finally Left the
Place vowing vcngence.

New York, Dec. 20.-The Lexow ecom-
mitteemen were late in getting down to
work this morning. Senator Lexow had
announced that this session would, for
the present at least, wind up the work OF
the commit }, and the usual crowd was
on hand TO see what 1t thought would be
a grand final.
When Chairman Lcxow called the COM
mittee TO order Mr.. Gor said that Mr..
Mott wished to make a statement regard
ing the charges made by the green goods
men, Louis Il. Streep and his brother,
Mr.. Goff said that Mr.. Mott was well
known and esteemed member OF the New
York bar and that he had every faith in
his integrity as citizen and lawyer.
"We declined to hear Mr.. Comstock yes
day, Mr.. Goff," said Senator Lexow, sand
it would hardly be fair to allow Mr.. Mott
20 make on explanation when we refused
q similar privilege to MIR. Comstock."
Mr.. Mott hers took off his coat md ad-
vancing toward the desk said: You say
you have stricken the evidence as TO mo

enough 10 destroy tho besmirehing which
you allowed TO be thrown upon me. Had

"Did any public official of this COM

tain whether or not his statements were

FIREMEN KILLED.
A Chief and His Assistant
the Victims.
Fell With the Floor That Collapsed
Without Warning.
Four Other Firemen, Slightly Injured,
Narrowly Escaped Death.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.--Battalion Fire
Chief John j. Bresnau and Fireman John
l.. Rooney, OF Truck ~, were killed this
morning by the collapse OF a floor during
the fire which gutted several stories OF the
factory OF the Cassidy q Son Mfg Co.,
12i to l2S West Gath street. Four other
fremen were slightly injured, although
they, too, narrowly escaped with their
lives. The fire wrought s60, 900 damage to
the building.
Flames were discovered issuing from
the building at $3.50 o'clock. An hour
before, the watchman, N. Newman, to-
gether with Manager Howard of the Cas-
sidy concern, who returned from trip to
Chicago late last night, made tour
of the building. The Cassidy Co., manu-
facture gas and electric fixtures.
Chief Bresnau was on the fourth floor
directing the movements of his men when
suddenly, and without any warning the
two upper floors came down. There was
heavy water tank on the roof and the
flames having weakened its supports it
came tumbling down, carrying with 1t
the fifth floor. The whole mass OF blazing
debris fell on the firemen, pinping Bres-
nau and Rooney under the girders. The
other men were near the head of the
stairs and with the first cracking of the
timbers hastened towar the stairs. They
reached them in safety, but the stairs
fell as they were hurrying down, and the
men fell in heap on the third floor.
First Foreman Hennessy's right leg was
broken and Fireman Arnmen was also
injured. Their companions dragged
them to place of safety, and then for
the first time realized that their
chief was not with them. When the
conviction dawned upon the dremen that
their companions were pinned among the
debris on the fourth floor, the brave men
FASTENED back, and while some trained
their hose upon the flames others
tried to rescue Bresnau and Rooney.
Amid the smoke they could see the bodies
of their two officers pinned down by the
great girders, and they worked like mad
men to lift the girdefs, but could not
make any impression on the great
mass of ruins. The fremen were
taking their lives in their hands
for none Of them knew the moment the
heavy weighted floor would give way be-
meath them.- The iremen kept the flames
away from the bodies OF Bresnau and
Rooney, but despite herculean efforts they
could not release the crushed FORMS.

A STORMY PASSAGE.

in Port Heavily Coated With Ice.

The steam schooner Walker Arminton.
In charge OF the veteran captain, j. Is.
Drinkwater, arrived in port this morning
from Hampton Roads with cargo
OF coal Tor the Providence Coal

appearance OF being n monster iceberg, as
her port side and decks were a solid mass
OF Ice. Captain Drinkwater says that ho
sailed from Hampton Roads on December
70 and ran into the storm at the mouth
OF the Delaware, where he put in for "a
hours. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning he
ran into heavy snow storm, and late
yesterday afternoon heavy vapor, ac-
companied by cold snap, set In, but he
continued his course. The coldest time
was experienced last night, and where the
water struck IL froze to the rigging.
The captain stated that several other ves-
sells left Hampton Roads for this port at
the same time that he did. but they oil
put back, and he says that he doesn't
know where he would have been had he
not had steam to help him on the voyage.
All on board are well.

BROKE OPEN THE SAFE.
Burglars Enter r. ]. Comstock's
Market on Canal Street,

One of the most daring burglaries in
the history of the city was committed
last evening or early this morning, and
with in less than three hundred feet from
the Central Police Station on Canal street.
At $3.50 this morning when the en-
ployes In the Wholesale meat house
OF j.. #. Comstock q Sons
at go Canal street opened the door they
saw that the Office had been opened by
some one during the night, and upon
further investigation found that the
safe had been opened. They at once
notified the head OF the firm and
the police of the affair. Detective
Swan was sent 10 Investigate the case. He
found that the safe had been opened by
the means OF q chisel and jimmy, as these
implements were found upon the floor of
tho office.
The safe is an old Miller,n and is
made of thin iron and could be opened
with but little trouble. Mr.. Swan il OF
the opinion that an entrance was effected
by climbing on the cars, outside of the
building, upon the roof and through the
scuttie: They took their departure
through side door, using the key that
was usually left in the lock, and
taking the key with them. Lieutenant
Rankin, who was in charge at the Central
Station, says that there has for some time
been considerable noise made in that
vicinity by the railroad men In making
changes, and. quits frequently they
have blasted rocks, so that who
ever entered the office must be
aware of these facts. He says that the
doors were tried o number of times dur
ing the night, as usual. There was also a
bright light burning all night, and he is
positive that the break must have been
made before 5 O'Clock this morning, when
the workers are in the habit of going on
duty.
Mr.. Comstock says that 1891 was taken
and a number of checks, which we're not
endorsed, and the payment OF which has
been ordered stopped by the firm. AS yet
