TRULY A FIRE TRAP.
Terrible Fate of the Inmates of a Buffalo
Cheap Lodging House.

Terrible Fate of the Inmates of n Buffalo
Cheap Lodging House.
BUFFALO, Jan. 2.-The new year was little
more than twenty-four hours old when Buff
falo was visited By one of the most fatal fires
in her history. The number of dead and
likely to die recalls the horrible catastrophe
of the burning Of the Hotel Richmond on the
memorable 18th of March, 1857.
The scene of the fire which occurred this
morning was Mrs. Annie Hac6ett's lodging
house, 10 Swan street, a four-story brick
building of the tumble-down order. The first
floor was used for u saloon and restaurant,
the second and third floors for sleeping
rooms. The beds were in little compartments
and like box stalls in a stable. Shortly
before 3 o'clock people passing heard
the sd Ipgg9 cr pnaS' and Gt a sIai moment lR
later a cloud of thick black smoke and a
tongue of flame dartej out of the place. AL
most at the same time the front and side
windows of the lodging house seemed to be
alive with panic-strickcn people. They
rushed from one window to another and
called pitcously to the crowd to help them
escape from the blazing building. There
were no ladders anywhere. no fire escapeson
the building, 70 way to save the frenzied oc-
cupants. Two people were burned to death
and about twenty others badly injured. at
least five of whom are likely to die. Follow
ing is Il list of the dead and injured:
ISAAC BRADLEY, printer; dead.
WOMAN KNOWN AS EDNA, day cook; dead.
Mrs. ANNIE HACKETr, proprietresS, burned
about the head and arms; will recover.

head, face and arms; will propably die.

about the head, face and hands; will probably

EDwARD Gross of California, frightfuIly
burned about the face, head, hands and feet;
not thought he can recover.
CHARLES VAN EVER, colored, private de-
Deceive, hands and feet badly bruised; will
probably die.
body badly burned; jumped from the third
floor, and is probably fatally hurt.

an explosion shook the Vroun1 and
thoroughly awakened the residents of the
vicinity who had not yet become aware of
the danger. BY this time three more alarms
had been rapidly sent IN.
The fire quickly spread TO the Globe cafe
ana the adjoining buildings mentioned. The
hotels opposite, notably the Reynolds and
Clarks. as soon as the situation was appre-
Grated, threw open their doors for the recep-
tiOn OF such articles as could be rescued and
for the accommodates Of persons who might
be burned out. At first great fear was en-
tertained that the fire might Jump across
the marrow street and communicate with
the hotels and hundreds on the street pre-
pared to leave their rooms at q moments
notice.
From the windows Of these buildings
the sight of the raging conflagration opposite
was grand in the extreme. Huge tongues of
fame and millions of sparks from the contta-
grafton shot straight into the air for a height
OF 300 feet. Ever and anon from the ire
mendous confusion came an explosion from
ore of the hydrogen tanks used by the
Suberba company.
At 3 o'clock the fire in the center OF the
play house had been put out and on the Es-
sex street side the fire was practically eX-
linguIshed, there being no signs of it save u
mass Of water soaked and smoking tlmbers.
At $3.50 the fire was confined to the cafe at
the back Of the theatcr. The iincrusta dec
o]rations held the flames and the tiremen had
to tear them to pieces in order TO get at the
blaze. About $3.50 900 is estimated as the
total loss.

Gravcsend'S Political Boss Given Loyal Sup.
port by Ills Fellow Democrats.
New YoRK. Jan. 2-There was a very
lively meeting of the Kings County Board Of
Supervisors in Brooklyn, At which John V.
Mckanc, boss Of Gravescnd, with eleven in
dictments and q sentence of thirty days con-
finement in Jail aud an accompanying fine Of
$3.50 hanging over his head, was reelected
president pro TEN for 1894.
Mayor Charles A. Schieren took his seat
with the republicans who had come prepared
to make a hard fight to keep McKane out
by contesting the seats of three members.
Mr.. Dixie claimed that Supervisor kehoe
of the Eighth ward should not be recognized
as a member, because the board of aldermen
had appointed him to serve in Supervisor
Stickevers (deceased) place during his un-
expired term of last year and for the year OF
1894. Mr.. Dixie maintained they had no
legal right to do this, as tie law provided
that Kehoe could serve only until Sunday
last, the end of one p%olitica! year.
The chair sustained MIR. Dixie and ordered
the clerk to strike kehOc's name from the
roll. This enrolled eighteen democratic
members, but before they could protest Mr..
Dixie went on to raise q similar point in the
case Of Supervisor Lyman, republican, from
Flatbush, and Batsley, democrat, from Flat
lands. Mchaue then made an extended
dramatic speech and declared he would fight
for kehoe's seat until ii was declared vacant
by the courts.
Mr.. Fitchie then said he would put the
question, but Mir. Kehoe's vote would not be
recorded. The question was: 'Shall the
chair be sustained in declaring bikes point
of order well taken, and, consequently,
kehoe's seat vaCant!'
The vote was 10 in the Affirmative and Is
negative-a victory Cor Mcliane.
II defy the public at large said Mckane,
ito say / have ever done anything wrong,
and if my. colleagues propose TO re-elect me
as president pro TEN, as they have said, |
would like to nave the vote taken now. If
elected | shall take the chair and put the
notion"
McKeon said: 1--WE will retire and or
ganize by ourselves"
Mr.. Fitchie then declared that if any
business was transacted by the board while
the three men sat illegally it would receive
the veto of the supervisor-at-large.
Then there was Il scene, Mclieon. Mckane
and others jumping to their feet to answer
the threat of the chairman.
On motion of kehoe a vote was taken on
the election of a president pro TEN. The
vote was 20 TO II.
Supervisor Dixie nominated Supervisor
Boyd us president pro TEN and McHeon
placed McHane in the field, Mckanc re-
ceived IS votes and Boyd II. a bitter fight
is expected at the next regular meeting of
the board.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-In the House of Commons
today Mr.. Gladstone, replying to questions
as to whether there was any truth in the
stories from Rio de Janeiro that British
ship owners suffered from serious delay and
! were exposed to considera BILE danger, ex-
pressed surprise that such a question should
be put. Mr.. Gladstone added that the
earl of Roseberry, the secretary of
state for foreign affairs, lad been
in constant communication with the
British minister at Rio de Janeiro and with
the British naval commander at that port
and he was assured that Great Britain had
at any rate afforded her ship owners the
same protection as France, for instance, or
any other country, afforded to her ship
owners. Continuing, Mr.. Gladstone said
that there vas a larger number of British
war ships at Rio de Janeiro than any other
nation possessed at that port.
The insurgents, the premier also said, had
not been recognized as belligcrents, and the
British and other naval commanders gave
tho best protection peSsible against the at
tempt of either party to interfere with
legitimate commerce., but they could not
protect against all risks when
landing cargoes.
In conclusion Mr.. Gladstone said the gov
ernment had 40 Intention of interfering, and
was not advised that 1T had any right TO in

says: Admiral du Cana, commander of the
insurgent fleet in the harbor, published yes
terday a manifesto, which was Intended to
connteract the effect of his celebrated de-
claration of n month ago in favorof the mon
archy.
This declaration had weakened the cause
of the insurgents greatly in the last three or
four weeks, and has alieuated from Nlello
and da Cana several officers who before its
appearance had been their trusted friends
and allies. Among the people at large it's
effects have been still more favorable to the
insurgent cause.
Consequently, in his manifesto yesterday,
Admiral da Cana asserted his forme decla-
ration was not a monarchist This
declaration, as well as other papers attrib-
uted to him, he said in the manifesto yester-
day, had been altered and printed in falsi.
fed copies. He had not declared for the
monarchy, but had intended merely TO ask
the people of Brazil what form of republican
government they wanted. Other interpreta-
tions of his declaration had been made in
good faith.
This manifesto has fallen fat. Friends of
the republic regard 1t as a passing
