made by the siXty-three manufacturers
who met yesterday at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel and resolved not to recognize
the Cloakmakers and the cutters unions
Barondess was frequently interrupted
by applause, and at the close of his
address by loud cheers. lie said:
1t Is true that We signed agreements
with the manufacturers, and we broke
them Tor three reasons; first they were
of no legal value whatever, second. the
manufacturers were the first 10 violate
the contract because they never paid
the advance agreed upon and broke
the agreement the same day they made
1t; third, | do not want to make this u
personal fight like the manufacturers
Will give the names of those manu-
facturcrs who violated their agreement
with us.
1T is not true that manufacturers
pay $,oOO,oOO a year in wages, as they
asserted yesterday There are IL 900
cloakmakers in New York. and II

how much they make. They also com
plain because We strike in the busy
season. We are not fools, and don't
strike when trade is DUH" cloud

Barondess appealed to the strikers to
stand firm for their demands, and left

Mrs. Harrgan called at Farmer Me
Candlesss for her daily supply of milk

tions.
About II o'clock Miss Kate Hurrigan,

Miss Rebecca Hall, who live near by,
discovered the barn in flames and gave
the alarm.
They then ran towards the house and
saw smoke pouring out of the kitchen

large box full of wood burning alongside
the chimney, which they tossed into the
yard.
the scene, and surprise was expressed
at the absence of Mrs. Harrigan and her
children. Search was made in the
house. and the horrible truth began to
dawn on the assembled people that they
had persisted in the flames In the barn.
til The fire burned Itself out, as the
place was far removed from hydrants.
1t did not take long in the heavy
wind blowing for the barn to be en-
tirely consumed, and then search was
made in the embers for the bodies.
The charred trunks of the mother and
children were found lying in heap in
n corner of the barn on the ground.
Women tainted at the frightiul spec
