1t progressed with a feaful roar.
Three children were hurt and two

Mrs. Giensberg Dragged from Her

Fire caused panic in the new six-
story double tenement-house, 2l5 Madison
street, between Rutgers and Jefferson
streets, at 1855 o'clock to-day, and at
this hour 1t is not known whether any
lives were lost.
The fire originated in the basement,
which is occupied by Philip Kreeger a
shoemaker, and his family. Kreeger's
family had IA very narrow escape, on
account of the rapidity with which the
flames spread.
There ig an airshaft from the basement
to the roof and this proved a perfect
chimney, through which the smoke
rushed in such volumes that in a few
minutes every fiat on the six floors was
filled to suffocation.
The twenty-four families in the house
rushed frantically for the various means
of egress.
Those in the front fats made their
way to the street by means of the
stairs, but those In the rear were COM
PEELED to use the ire-escapes. They
made their way to the rear areaways
and thence to the street.
Soon Madison street was filled with
terrified women and children, many of
the former weeping and wringing their
hands and bewailing the loss of chill
dren. who, they declared, had been left
behind to suffocate In the smoke-laden
rooms.
The police quickly followed the firemen
to the scene, but found 1t impossible 10
missing children on account of the
smoke.
Several priests were hastily summon

AS the smoke cleared away Ida Kree-
ger, two years old, was taken from the
basement in an unconscious condition.
She was removed to II. Ornstein's drug
store, where restoratives were applied.
Janitor Ike Bayard was at the syn

tenants are in such n state of excite

it's origin.

There is to be strong effort made at

irremediable.
So Mr.. John Boyd Thacn,' end Mr.
Hill and Chairman of the State Commit

purpose OF opening a sort of Faith-Cure
bureau, In which old political sores are
to be healed by the laying on of hands.
1t is given out that Mr.. Hill is In town

conceive of any more important business
that Mr.. Hill has on hand at the present
time than that of fixing up his political
fences, so that he can corral and hold the

At these meetings, It Is believed, par.
ticular stress will be laid upon the
efforts Mr.. Hill is said to have made TO
secure fair treatment in the Convention

delegations.
From present indications an argument
of this sort is likely to be met with
| the reply that the Senator's action in
this connection was in the nature Of IA
bluff; that the rejection Of anti-machine
delegates was as much cut and dried
as any other part OF the work OF the
Convention, and that certain utterances
were poured out in their behalf as a
sort Of balm to wounded feelings and
with the intention of seeming atonems Mt

FAVORED BY JUDGE COMING.
He Also Wants Excise Cases Tried
In Special Sessions.

Judge Cowing's attention was drawn
this morning to the suggestion made by
District-Attorney Fellows yesterday that
the Court of Special Sessions be en-
powered to hold jury trials for the pur-
pose of disposing of the thousands of
Excise cases which II Is impossible for
the General Sessions courts @ devote
time to.
II am earnestly in favor ot such a
move" said Judge Cowing II am in
favor Of having all misdemeapor cases
of every description tried In the Court
OF Special Sessions. The Special ses-
sions Court should have power TO gum
mon either common-law turies Of twelve
men or statutory turies of six men to
try such cases. This power can only
be conferred by n constitutional amend
ment but II should be done.
THE General Sessions courts have
enough to do in trying felony cases. II Is
waste of the peoples money and Of
valuable time to try small misdemeanor
cases In this court OF course, any sa-
loon-keeper may demand a trial by jury.
In such an event his case must, under
the existing laws, he tried in General
Sessions"
