Three lives were lost in Philadelphia
Thursday morning by fire that was
caused by the upsetting of coal oil lamp
by a cat. The Singlnger family were
asleep in their home, o629 Kansas street.
Shortly after 1 O'Clock the household cat
jumped upon a table and knocked over
a burning lamp. The blazing oil ran all
over the room and the interior of the
dwelling was soon ablaZe. When the pa
rents and four of the children had escaped
to the street in their night clothes the
mother suddenly discovered that her twins
had been left in the burning house. She
rushed into the flames and succeeded in
reaching an upper room where the babes
were. This was the last seen Of the wom-

to the upper floor they found the mother
and babes suffocatcd.
Every trolley line in the city of Brook
lyn was in operation Wednesday morning
except one. The strike is over. New
motcrmen and conductors have replaced
the men who went ont in Il body on Jan.
II. The linemen who went out on q SYM
pathetic strike n week later have broken
ranks on several lines and those whose
places had not been filled were taken
back. The 6.OoO men who went out in
body are still holding out. They were
prepared for long siege, and they say
they have plenty of money coming in
daily in contributions. aside from what
they had laid away from their wages.
The lines now have enough men to oper-
ate all cars which are in condition TO be
run. About oncthird of the trolley cars
OF Brooklyn have broken windows, dis
abled motors, or are otherwise incapaci-
tated by the scrimmages they have been
through during the past sixteen days.
The strikers are now directing all their
attention to court proceedings. The laws
delays are proverbial. and whatever trou-
bic the companies are given through at
tempts to compel operations by writs of
mandamus, or to obtain forfeiture of
charters through applications to the at
torney general. will have little bearing on
