Four Grandchildren ofthe Meth
odist Bishop. VIM. Taylor
Burned to Death in Sight q
Their Parents.
TWO OTHERS JUMP.
Two CHILDREN Leap from q
WinR9yv and Are Saved.
Frantic but Vain Efforts to
Rescue the Remaining.

NYAcK, N. Y. Oct 22.-Four grand
children Of Rev William Taylor, Metho-
dist missionary bishop Of Africa, per
ished in the elegant house Of their
father. Ross Taylor, in South Nyack, ear
Iy today. In addition one man was so
badly burned that he can scarcely
recover and two others were seriously in
jured.
It was a little after o'clock when Mrs.
Taylor was awakened by the smell Of
smoke. She aroused her husband. He
found the halls Of their home filed with
smoke. the fire evidently having obtained
great headway. From the first il was
plain the house Vas doomed, while the
condition Of the inmates was almost be-
yond hope.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor succeeded in
cropping their way through sufocating
smoke 10 the open air without having
been able to extend a helping hand TO
their six children, or others OF the house
hold People on the streets had seen the
fire and as MT and Mrs TAYLOR emerged
from the building the fire department
arrived.
The energies Of all were directed to-
ward the rescue Of those who still re-
Inained in the doomed structure The
eldest two OF the Taylor children,
Stewart and William were aroused in
time and jumping from the window Of
their chambe were caught without be-
ing seriously injured.
Four others of the children Perished
Their names are Harriet, aged IL; Ada,
aged 8; Arthur, agee 2; Schultz, aged s.
Their bodies we're recovered three
hours later and taken to an undertaking
establishment
Besides the Taylor family there were
in the house Michael Nullady, laborer
and two house decorators named
Edward Linta and William Ruth.
All three had been sleeping
in the THIRD story When
aroused, escape by the stairway was cut
of, and they jumped for their lives.
Mullady was 50 badly hurt that he can
scarcely recover Ruth and Linta sus-
tained serious injuries, but viii probably
recover.
The house, which was burned, had only
recently been built, and the interior dec
Orstions we're still incomplete.
The funeral of the four children who
were burned to death was held at ST.
Pauls II. L. church at j a. u. today.
All four charred bodies were placed in
one wood casket. The Rev. Mr.. Taylor
the pastor of she church, Officiated. and
Rev. Ross Taylor the bereaved father was
present and made a few remarks, telling.
several pathetic incidents. The remains
IF the children were put in a receiving

AN EASY VICTORY.
Prophesfed for the Old Managers OF IL
Santa Fe Railroad.

CHICAGO, Oct eat is now certain
that the regular Reorganization commit
tee Of the AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad company viii achieve an easy
victory AT the annual meeting Of stock
holders at Topeka next Thursday, hay-
Ing secured more than one-third of the
proxies of all the stock of the company.
From what can be learned the opposition
or Protective commitree viii make no
further effort to capture the entire
board, but will confine itself to a fight
for minority representation, with 3 view
OF getting one or two of It's men on the
board To accomplish this the Protective
committee will ask that a cumulative
vote be cast. so as to be able to vote all
the proxies held by them for one or two
men and elect There is but little pros
pect, however, that this scheme will
work. Prominent railroad attorneys,
well posted on AtchisOn affairs say a
cumulative vote cannot be cast. The
Atchlson charter was obtained when Kan
sas was yet a territory, and cumulative
voting" was not thought of at that time.
The board of directors as organ
lzed about a month or two ago
with one or two exceptions. Will
no doubt be reelected. Nearly all
the members OF this board are large
stock and bond holders. and are mem bers

They are: John A. Mccall, president of
the New York Life Insurance company;
T. &. Sturgis, a prominent New York
broker; James A Blair. son OF the New

board in place of Alden Speare: C. K

of Kansas. The latter will probably be
dropped from the new board and Aldace

the intention to elect Mr.. Walker presi-
dent Of the company.
NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-Each side in the
war for control of the Atchison railroad
IS predicting victory for its ticket at the
election. The directors, who have pre-
pared slate to perpetuate their control,
claim that they have d clear majority.
The Protective committee claim to nave
