FLAMES in A TENEMENT.
Twenty Families Driven from Their
Beds at New York by Fire
One Dead.

New York, May 31.-A terrific ex-
plosion followed by fire occurred at
4:30 o'clock this morning in a rectifying
store on the ground floor Of a double
tenement house at 129 Suffolk Street,
resulting in the death of Lizzie Yaega,
aged years, and serious injuries to
four others. Twenty families tenanted
the building. The explosion and fire
cut them off from the stairway.
Fifteen children were thrown from
upper windows and some of
the older persons escaped by
creeping on the narrow ledge of the
second story to the window Of the next
house. Two men living in the house in
the rear of the burning building got a
blanket and used it as net in which to
catch the children dropped from the
windows above. The children had to
be dropped through a sheet of flame
which was leaping from the
side of the building between the
windows and the blanket below in
the rear yard. After the children
had all safely been dropped, the older
ones jumped; Lyman Ehrenwost and
his son made the perilous jump in
safety, but Mrs. Fhrenwost, who was
quite heavy, broke the blanket by her
great weight and was severely injured.
The fremen arrived at this time and
set to work to save the rest
of the occupants of the build
ing. Chief Akearn found little
Lizzie Yaega on the third floor
unconscious. She died few moments
after being removed to the hospital.
Meyer Dietrich, aged Al, was badly
burned in attempting to get out through
the lower hall. Several persons on the
top floor who were overcome by smoke
mad to be carried out by the tiremen.
The damage to the building is estimat-
ed at $4,000. Three persons were
burned to death in the same building

COL. AINSWORTH IS FREE.
Indictment in the Ford Theater Case
at Washington is
OuaS he'd

Washington, D. c., May 91.-Col.
Fred C. Ainsworth, chief of the records
and pension division, indicted for man
slaughter in the case growing out of
the Ford's Theater disaster Of last June
in which more than a score of govern
ment clerks were killed, is now free.
Justice McComas, of the criminal court,
to-day sustained the demurrer to the
Indictment of Ainsworth, and ordered
the indictment quashed- This is the
second indictment against Ainsworth
which has failed. The main ground on
which Judge McComas quashed the in
dictment to-day was that it did not
show the falling Of the building was due
to personal neglect on the part of Col.
Ainsworth.
It is probable new indictment will
be drawn up. Until Col. Ainsworth's
case is settled no proceedings viii be
