Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
w WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE most
fatal fire of recent years in Washington
was the burning of the mattress factory
of Stump Bros. to-day. Four bodies are
at the Morgue, charred and crushed be-
yond recognition, while at the hospitals
are three victims fatally injured. Sew
eraI workmen are unaccounted for, and
their bodies are doubtless in the ruins.
The dead are: William II. Lennison,
an old employe in the factory; Willie
Asche. Is years: j. f. Vaughan, a clerk,
Henry Fowler. Philip Ackermau,
Robert Reitzel and another man, whose
name is unknown, are missing.
Those at the hospital are: A. J. Haske,
both legs broken, may die; Arthur Ct.
Bevins, internal injuries; Harry Bacon,
internal injuries.
The factory was five-story structure
with thin brick walls, and no fire escape.
1t was stored with feathers, shavings and
other 1nt1ammable materials, and twenty
hVe persons were at work in it, six of
whom were young women.
Fifteen minutes before noon fire was
discovered in the picking-room at the
front of the second floor. Almost before
the alarm could be given to the workmen
it had burst up the elevator shaft. The
escape of those on the upper floor was cut
of. They stood in the windows shouting
for help, while hundreds on the streets
were watching but unable to give them
succor. Three men were seen on the
roof gesticulating frantically. Before
ladders were secured these men dropped
one by one, and were horribly mangled.
4 mattress held to break the fall proved
OF no avail. Other men held to projec-
tresses had been heaped upon the side
walks, and leaped off without sustaining
severe injuries.
Twenty-Five minutes after the fire had
been discovered the west wall fell, and
soon thereafter the remaining walls fell
and crushed several small structures ad-
jacent. One fireman and several specta-
tors were hurt by falling bricks.
The cause OF the fire is unknown. The
aggregate loss is only 100000.

Caminetti s'Delivers'' Five Speeches
IN Less Than an Hour.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Much amuse-
ment is provoked because of the last
issue of the Congressional Record. Two
or three days ago, more than fortnight
after the adjournment of Congress, it con-
tanned number of speeches said to have
been delivered in the House on the last
day of the session. They were inserted
by virtue of the leave-to- print custom
which exists in the House, whereby
member may ask leave TO have printed
speech on this or that subject, as though
it were actually spoken on the floor. This
last issue of the Record has six speeches
prepared by Mr.. Caminetti of California
One of them was delivered as long ago as
October, 1898; the other five were all de
livered" on the 29th of August, the day
Congress adjourned, after being in session
for less than an hour.
Mr.. Caminetti has only availed himself
of the privilege, absurd as it would seem
to be, which is accorded to every Repre-
sentative. This last issue of the Record
has given rise to considerable talk of do
ing away with the leave-to-print rule and
make the publication what it should be,
a report of what actually took place in
the House. The only justification for the
custom is the fact that the House is
always overwhelmed with business, and
there is no other way for member to ex-
press his views at length upon given
subject

A Man and His Sister Under Arrest at

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-John Hewk
and his sister Nettie Howk, both under
30, were arrested to-day and charged with
grand larceny in having robbed Charles
Perry, VINO is over 20, of $1,000. All
three come from Loyalton, Sierra County,
where Perry has known the Howks from
their infancy. Perry brought the Howks
to see the Mldwinter Fair, paying all
their expenses and then returned home,
leaving them here. The girl, of whom
Perry seemed fond, induced the old man
TO deposit the money realized from sale
OF property in her name, but he kept the
certificate. Two weeks ago the Howks
wrote urging Perry to como to this city
and embark in a money making scheme.
The plan was to open saloon in Alaska
Nettie to play the piano, Perry the vio-
lin, and John to keep bar. The money
was withdrawn from the bank, and the
sack placed in Perry's trunk Then the
old man was placed on board the Uma-
tilla, but she sailed without the Howks.
who promised to follow by the next boat
At sea Perry opened his trunk and found
the money gone. From Seattle he teld-
graphed the San Francisco Chief of Po-
lice. 1t was found that the day the
steamer had sailed Nettie had deposited
in two local banks 1880, which was con-
fscaJed by the police.
