It Was Narrow Escape for the Tenants of
 a Frame Building.
 Norwich, March S.-The three-story frame building known as the Moloney block at Water street was completely gutted by fire at 5:SO o'clock this morn ing The building was occupied by a number of Russian Jew families and was a dilapidated structure,
 The fire started in the rear end of a store on the ground floor occupied as a creckery shop by Russian Jew named Inman. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is supposed to have been caused by an overloaded stove or the explosion of an oil lamp.
 The tenants were all asleep when the fire broke out. but they reached the street in safety. The tenants, how ever, were unable to save their be- longings. The building was owned by the estate of William Moloney, of which James Murphy of this city is administrator.
 The loss to the building by the fire is estimated at between $4.O0O and $5000, The individual losses to the tenants will be about $1,000.

 MT. Milbury, Secretary of the Industrial
 Christian Alliance, Speaks on the Subject
 at Calvary Church.
 | At Calvary Baptist church last even
 ing MT Arthur w. Nilbury, secretary of the Industrial Christian alliance of
 New York, spoke on "The Floating Pop
 ulation."
 The alliance is an organization seek
 ing to aid the homeless and frtendless
 men who are willing to work and have
 a desire to live better lives The so- ciety provides temporary employment for these men, and year ago organ
 ized committee of business men as a
 department to provide this work. The
 committee has also opened up through out the city 'five-cent restaurants and
 groceries where food is sold to the poor at cost. In this way during the year 1,5S0,S00 meals have been given out at a total cost of less than $32, GOO. All the work connected with these restaurants including that of cashier a collector and superintendents, was performed by homeless and friendless men. The same method of carrying on the work will be continued during the coming year and is perhaps the most interesting experi- ment in the way of cheap food for the poor ever made in the world The mo- tive and practice of the alliance is Helping Men to Help Themselves '' The members endeavor to combine the gospel of Christ with the gospel of labor. Their experience with outcast men is that with friendly and respecta- I ble leadership they are willing to work and work well, and many of thGm are permanently reformed A beautiful chapel has just been opened in connec- tion with the work for the every night peoples mission service All the fit ting and decorating of the chapel has been done by homeless men who came in from the streets for aid. A broom factory is run by the society and it is turning out brooms now at the rate of SIS, 900 worth a year, on which there is | profit of $3, 800, and the capacity will | be doubled soon. The factory is located | in the heart of the Italian colony. Ar | have recently been made | to work among children. A day nur- sery, Kindergarten and Sunday | school have been started There are l now seven stations in the city, but these will be added to, and places will l be started where coal and wood may be bought by the poor at cost, Among | the active financial supporters of the | society's work are F. w. Vanderbilt. 1 Levi P. Morton, ex-Governor John Jacob Astor, Mayor Will liam S. Strong, Edward and George Gould, J. Pierpont Morgan and James M. Constable.
 The church was well filled last even ing and the audience was much inter- ested in MT. Milbury's description of the workings of the alliance and many points were gained.

 maybe you have not heard it before.
 At dinner party given in New York
 city by a lady of wealth there were
 present numerous representatives of
 the refinement and fashion of the com
 munity. In the course of the evening
 it was remarked that one of the ladies
 wore a diamond of exceptional beauty, and with amiable cotidescenson the fair owner took the treasure from her finger and passed sit around for the scrutiny and admiration of the other guests. An hour or two later. this lady said; T enjoy a joke as heartily as any of the rest of you, but it appears to me that this jestshas gone to far, Win the gentleman orlady who has my ring please return it to me at once?"
 These words fell plSe a thundeFbolt upon the conpany. Ah protested that they had passed the ring along, while at the same time the owner declared that 1t had not come back to her. It was clear that a theft had been com mitted, and 1t was determined to insti- tute search of eanh guest, in. order that suspicion fnlgfit iiot lie against any innocent person
 There was one inSalI the company who declined to submit, to be searched; he was young artistiwho, by reason of his talents and the charm of his per sonality. had been accepted as well come guest at the sociag Functions of the rich. In fact, heshad Been much court ed, but now his refusal to submit to the test of his honesty convinced his former friends that he was indeed a thief, and in no way worthy of their confidence. He was ihcontinently dis missed from the presence of the com pany, and thereafter was tabooed by his former patrons,
 But, To and behold several months af- ter this distressing scene the ring was found, caught and lid away in one of the numerous rufiles with which it's owners dinner dress was decorated. A mutual friend immediately sought out the young artist, told him of the recov- efy of the.l lost ring, and offered all rep aration that an honofabie man could ask f
 But tell me-" asked this mutual friend, "why, innocent as you were, you declined to submit to the search which would have proved your innoeence?"

The Decline in Prices of the Week In creased as q Rule
 New York, March 2.-The limited stock market increased as a rule tht decline in prices that has been slowly
 taking place an the week. Genera Electric, Louisville and Nashville, ant St. Paul were exceptionally weak; but Distilling, which led the list in point oi activity, was strong and closed frac- tionally higher; as also did Sugar Re. flning. The selling of Louisville and Nashville and of St. Paul was made ef- fective by the execution of orders from London, where apprehension of the abil- ity of the bond syndicate to prevent ex- ports of specie from this country ap- pears to be as acute as it is here. Gen. eral Electric was attacked because it is feared that decision of the United States supreme court, which will prob ably be handed down soon, will be ad- verse to the longevity of certain impor- tant patents owned by the company
 The weekly statement averages of the Associated Banks shows a loss in law full money of nearly $1,S00,OOO, all of it in specie. The large gain in legal ten ders doubtless resulted from transfers of gold from the banks to the sub-treas- ury on account of the bond syndicate. A moderate increase in the loans is to be noted, which Is very nearly offset in the deposits by the loss in lawful mon otr tlxy aetH IA nearly the full amount against the sur plus reserve, bringing that item down to $2S,000,000 as against S75,750,000 a year ago, a change that indicates that money Is gradually finding employment.

 MT. Ysaye.
 While Vieuxtemps' compositions are primarily written by the virtuoso for the virtuoso, they are by no means lacking in genuine musical merit. This can particularly be said of the present concerto The introduction to the first movement, with its occasional inter- rupting recitatives for the violin, has a distinctive physiognomy of its own 3.
