CAUGHT IN A DEATH TRAP.

Fight for Life.

Fight for Life.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, November 7-After
the flames in the Van Brunt street house,
where six lives were lost last night had been
eXtinguished, search of the building was
made, and on the top floor were found the
dead bodies of the Ryans. Their positions
showed plainly how they had struggled for
their lives.
Johanna and Sarah were found in the rear
room near the staircase. Their bodies were
lying together. Maggie's body was found
lying within a Jew feet of the window on the
King street side of the house. The others.
Ryan, his wife and Lizzie. the youngest GIRL
We're found i'll the front room. Ryan had
ste 1pped to slip on his trousers. The others
were in their night gowns.
Ambulances were sent for, and the sur
geons worked over the bodies in a vain en-
deavor to resl,scitate them. 1t did not take
them long to ascertain that each Of the six
victims was beyond human aid. The bodies
were gathered together and left lying in the
front room. None of the dead bodies was
even scorched by the flames. Each member
of the family had met death by suffocation.
The building In which the fire occurred was
owned by James Walsh of I'D street and I'd
avenue Brooklyn. The damage to the build
ing was $1,000.
vas about 5000 more, making total loss
of 5000.
Ryan kept saloon on the corner of Van
Brunt and King streets. diagonally opposite
the house in which he lived. He closed the
saloon about midnight and went to his
apartments across the street.
AT that hour there were no signs of a fire
as he passed up the staircase where the
flames are supposed to have originated.
The building was death-trap. The only
staircase was at the rear, and led up en-
the outside of the rear wall between that
and the building next door, which faced
en- King street.
The stairs were encased in woodwork
and led to the third floor. There was an
inside staircase, leading from the third to
the top floor.
The outside staircase was built in order
to give room to the saloon on the ground
floor. which is occupied by Patrick Finne-
gan. By building the staircase on the out
SIDE of the building, Finnegan was per-
mitted to extend his store back to what
would otherwise have been the hallway Of
the house on King street. He had one
room in the back of the saloon.
There were no fire escapes on the build
ing. and the only means of egress for the
tenants was by the outside staircase
The police and fire marshal are making
an investigation. 1t is probable that the
circumstances of the fire will be brought
before the grand jury for investigation.

George E. Macy of Orlando, has just
received large engine for his rice mill.
In few DAYS he will go to the northern
part OF the State. and probably to Geor-
gia to get the most improved machinery
for the mill. In all probability, 1000
acres or more will be planted to rice in
this county. Mr.. Macy expects to be
able to handle from 10000 to 10000
bushels this year. Captain @. r. Pierce
and W. ii. Wall will both put in twenty
five acres at st. Cloud.

decadence must follow. With such a
view before us there seems to be only
one conclusion admissible. we must work
upon lines of lower prices ahead. If we
cannot produce wheat or meat, cotton
or other fibres. dairy products or fruits,
| tobacco, or sugar, or rice at as low prices
as others can, under what pretence can
we expect to supply distant markets?
And if we are not able to supply such
markets is 1t not chargeable wholly to
lack of proper management on our
part? In no other part of the world do
the people derive so much advantage
by the use OF machinery. Herein lies
large measure of gain to us, only we
must not throw it away by desire to
reap higher prices than the world is
ready and willing to pay.
Now good husbandry lies IN an ability
to grow crops or products at lower rates
than in the past. This may seem like
foolish words to some. 1t may seem like
an oft told story to Others.
However, there are as many inquirers
today AS ever before, ".low shall we go
forward on our lines Of husbandry and
gain living for our famllies?" 1t is
har 'ly prudent to use the words econ
Omy, industry. sobriety, no matter how
essential either or all these may be. Mn
do not wish to be tod that imprudence
or lack of industry, or want of soberness
fits In the least TO their case. Few men,
indeed, are willing to admit that the
cause of i'll results lieth at their own
door.
The writer began his career as Il hus-
bandryman in 1850. His days of labor
and skill in that direction are about
over. The summary of his lfe's ork
Is largely repetition of failures with a
few successes intervening here and there.
Failures from many causes, such as at
tempting too much, frequently waiting
for more favorable indications to go for
ward, or rushing along when an I'M
known pathway lay ahead, taking too
much for granted, as though what one
man was able to do at a certain point,
another ought to be able to do at quite
different point, ETC.. etc.
Much less was known about fruit
growing in those earlier days than now.
The husbandman of today can use the
charts some of us made in the fifties,
sixties and seventies, and it will be wiser
for him not to ignore some of the les
sons we paid rather dearly to learn.
Some new lessons must be set forth
from time to time and no lesson is now
more surely called for than the one of
how to grow crops at lesser cost than
in the days gone by.
Husbandry calls for careful, pains
taking efforts to attain the best possible
results at a given expenditure of labor
or means. Calculations need to be made
almost daily how to save little here or
gain a little there. From some men
little faster step is wanted; from not
few others a slower, quieter march is
called for lest their reserve force become
too soon exhausted. The safest and best
point to aim for is the production of
home wants with some surplus, such as
may seem to bring fair reward.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
What Constitutes Good Farming or Gar
dening.

and good climate indisputably. We
have got as common soil one that is
easily titled and where rightly treated,
fairly productive. We are favored with
a very wide range of useful products
within the compass of our ordinary eff
forts. In these respects we are surely
placed above those In many other parts
of our country or in some other and
older settled countries.
1t is not our purpose to set up claim
that Florida is especially favored above
most other parts of the world, but rather
to show forth that our State is in no
wise wanting in natural adaptation for a
desirable homeland.
Let us pause here for moment to
consider what constitutes desirable
homeland. 1t is not rugged scenery, for
where this is found there often occurs a
harder struggle to obtain Il comfortable
food supply. 1t IS not where crops grow
most luxuriant, for here we often find
those mia attic conditions so conducive
to i'll health and depleted vigOr.
A good homeland needs to be land of
good healthfulness and where physical
comfort can be readily secured; food
supplies of varied character can be
abundantIy provided by reasonable la
Dor; where some surplus products can be
grown or shApen in form, to exchange in
dis ant parts for other products or more
desired wants. A good homeland needs
a varied character as to soil, climate,
scenery lines Of industry, enterprise, etc,
all of which are quite attainable here in
Florida. H wing then the required con-
ditions for good homeland the measure
of it's attainmenU lies entirely within
ourselves; if we fail to secure it's re-
:, ards and compensations the neglect
Tor sln) "lieth at our own door" If we
have permits ourselves to be taught
that our labor should recompense us TWO
or three or five fold above that which
other m IN elsewhere are able to obtain
we had better dismiss those conclusions
as speedily as we can. The world is
daily becoming more and more COM
mon field for each active member of the
human family. 1t is simply folly to
dream that our labor and skill should
command higher rates than that of
others of an equal producing capacity.
Many have me to Florida presuming
that here they could repair fortunes
broken elsewhere.
1t is much better to get rid of all such
delusive ideas.
A great effort will be made during the
coming year or sixteen months to put on
a footing what many Will call cheaper
money, the poor man s money, silver
coinage at the ratio Of Is TO l of gold,
but unless great care is taken to make
this same ratio dear as gold-that is, ex-
changeable for it at all times and places
1T will be a work of folly, for what we
need is fiXeu value and reserve power
of lnterchangeability al the holders will.
Then no man becomes subjected to
wrong treatment.
What we want most is lower prices!
we'll know how this will sound to many.
1t will appear as the croak of some fos-
si long since supposed to be extinct.
