FIVE MEN BURNED.
Explosion in the Cellar of a
Flooded Paint Shop.
Spontaneous Combustion Believed
to Be the Cause.
Victims Able to Leave Fordham
Hospital for Their Homes.

Two alarms OF fire were sent in for a
fire which started in the cellar of WILL
lam Moore's paint shop, 1926 Third ave-
nue.. at $40 o'clock this morning. The
fire Is supposed to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion.
While Moore and four of his workmen
were about to enter the cellar to take
out some barrels of oil and paint, which
floating about in several feet OF water,
when an explosion occurred and all of
the men were painfully burned about the
face and hands. They were removed to
the Fordham Hospital, where their
wounds were dressed, after which they
were able to go to their homes.
The injured were William Moore.

The heavy rain of vest erday and last
night filled up the sewers in Fordham
and the water flowed into Moore's cell
lar, where he kept his oils and paints
HIS shop Is on the ground floor, over
which he and his wife live.
The water in the cellar was about
three feet deep, and the floating barrels
o. oil occasionally rubbed up against
each other. Moore and Knab had pre-
vievsly been In the cellar this morning,
and were standing in water up to their
waists when the explosion, which shook
the whole house, occurred.
The men, blinded by smoke and flames,
were driven out into the street. The rear
door was burst open, and several shut
ters were blown off their hinges. Moore
and Knab received the most serious
burns. The flames, fed by the infiamma-
BILE material rapidly spread. and the
lower part Of the house was soon all
ablaze.
Mrs. Moore was In the yard at the
time of the explosion, and probably thus
escaped injury. The fire was not ex-
tinguished until 500 damage had been
done to the building. and $1,000 worth
to Moores stock.

ATHENS, Sept. 20.-A most daring
outrage upon the part OF Greek brigands
is reported from LAMA. near the Turk

Gulf of Volo.
The Procureur du Roi, n Judge and
two Secretaries were returning in a
carriage, accompanied by two gen

rived within half an hours drive of
LAMA, 1t was surrounded by Papa
kyritsopulo's band of brigands. who
carried off the Procureur and the
Judge, taking them to their stronghold
on Mount Othrys.
Later, the prisoners were allowed to
send word to their friends that the
brigands demanded that no pursuit be
made until ransom was paid.
A detachment OF 100 soldiers was sent
to attack the brigands. and in the fight
which followed the brigands were ex-
terminated, but the Procureur du Roi
was killed and the Judge was mortally

WILL SAXTON RESIGN?
senator Lexow Thinks Not, mt Least
Not Before Oct. 10.

1t was stated in a Republican newspa-
per this morning that State Senator
Charles T. Saxton, who has been NOM
mated for Lieutenant-Gove by the
Republicans, will resign as a member
OF the Lexow Investigating Committee.
Senator Lexow was seen by a repre-
sentative OF THE Evening World at
his office to-day. He said:
Il have had no communication from
Senator Saxton, and do not anticipate
that he will Withdraw from the Senatorial
Committee-at present. at least l see
no reason why he should resign, unless
he resigns the Senatorship, and he need
not do that until Oct l6.
Il think II likely that he will send In
his resignation then, as that would en-
able his dist rlct to elect his successor at
the general election. thus saving the ex-
pense of a special election for Senator.

ings oct. l. and every man on the COM

Flames, which did 800 damage, started
at $3.50 o'clock this morning in the black
smith shop of Louis Weinstein. at 1893
Division street. The shop is In the
basement OF three-story brick build
ing.
At 2.40 o'clock Policeman O'Connell,
passing the Division street house, heard
some one rafting the door of the black
smith shop. He asked who was there,
and a voice, which he is certain was
that Of Weinstein, answered: That's
all right; it's me-" So the policeman
went on, and thought no more of the
affair
Nearly an hour after that flames were
discovered in the shop. A woman liv-
ing in the rear of the house. in East
Broadway, saw the smoke, gave the
alarm and the engines were there d.
rectly. The shop. however, was COM
pletely destroyed.
The flremen made an investigation,
and learned, among other things, that
Weinstein was a hard drinker, and that
he smoked cigars constantly.
The firemen came to the conclusion
that the blacksmith had gone to his
shop intoxicated and had accidentally
started the fire by carelessly throwing

when he saw that 1t was beyond his
control he ran away and left It.
The place was not insured, and the
Fire Marshal does not regard the fire
