WILL GET HIGHER WAGES.
Increase for Street-CIcancrs to BE
Favorably Reported On.

Deputy Comptroller Richard A. Storrs.
to whom the matter was referred, will
report at the next melting of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment in
favor of paying the increase in the sala-
ries OF the drivers hostlers and sweep
ers OF the STRENGTHENING Department
This increase was provided for by law
of the last Legislature, and is said to
be paid out OF the appropriation for the
STRENGTHENING Department for the
present year.
There are no other funds available for
the purpose, and the Jaw is mandatory.
BY paying the additional allowance for
the men out OF the appropriation for
1894 there will be a deficiency which will
be made up in next years budget.
The law says that any head OF de-
partment, who incurs a deficiency. is
guilty OF a misdemeanor. but that pro-
vision applies only to cases where the
expenditures have been excessive and
eXtrnvagant.
There are over 1900 sweepers, drivers
and hostlers. The increase for each is
SO a month or sl20 a year. and as the
raise takes effect from July |, the de-
ficiency for the six months of this year
will be $4,000.
The money will probably be borrowed
by the Comptroller from some other
fund, until the budget for 1895 Is opened.

Fire in a Bakery Causes Panic in
a Crowded Tenement House.
Narrow Hallway Blocked by Halt.
Clad, Terror.Stricken Inmates.
A Baby Sleeps Quietly In Its Cradle
Through 1t All.

A small fire created a panic at $50
O'Clock this morning in the five-story,
double-decker tenement-house at l0l
East Houston street.
Henry Schodt has bakery on the
ground floor of the building, and the
baking is done in the basement. For
several days he has not been we'll and
has been unable to sleep. He felt better
this morning. and while waiting for his
bread to bake he fell asleep.
He was aroused by the sound OF an OK
plosion and found the place in flames. A
big pot OF fat had boiled over. Schodt
jumped up. snatched the pot from the
furnace and put it in barrel.
But the barrel was a weak affair, and
giving way, sent the fat roaring and
| spluttering in every direction. 1t poured
over the baker. burning his feet and
head badly and half binding him.
He tried to get out of the basement by
the front door, but the smoke and fire
blocked the way. In the rear the place

In the mean time the smoke had
poured into the house. and the alarm of
fire had aroused the fifteen families in
the rooms above.
There arc no fire-escapes on the front
of the house and those in the rear over
look the little courtyard into which
the burned baker had crept. A crowded
rear tenement has its only outlet into
this courtyard also.
Five minutes after the first cry OF fire
had been raised the yard was filled
with frightened, half-dressed persons,
who struggled to get through the mar
row, smoke-filled front hall into the
street. The hall became blocked. and
the tumult In the yard became greater,
when some of the inmates of the houses
front and rear began to throw their
effects from the windows.
Before the engines arrived the reserves

PARIS, July 1.-THE Minister OF Ma
rine. NJ. Felix Faure. has left this city,
and 1t II believed that he has gone to
Toulon In order to direct the inquiry
into the cause OF the fire involving a
loss OF several million francs. which
occurred at the arsenal there on Men
day night. The authorities Of Toulon
are convinced that this confagration
was part Of a huge Anarchist plot.
The investigation into the Anarchist
conspiracy, which resulted in fire being
discovered on board the warship Carnot
during her launching on Thursday last,
shows that the Anarchists had also ar
ranged to have the Carnot fall from
the slips as she was launched. This
plot was discovered and frustrated. and
then. It appears, the conspirators set
fire to the ship by pouring turpentine
over the woodwork in the hold.
