Tn His Hands.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.--Tonight Thomas and
Richard Walter, the owners of the place, and
Richard Manley, contractor, were in a
saloon on One Hundred and Forty-Eighth
street, playing cards. William Gillen, the
barkeeper; Robert Kennedy railroad man,
and Richard Pope We're seated at another
table, and were locking toward the front
door of the saloon, when three men walked
in, wearing masks. The tallest of the trio
pulled out gun and pointed Il at the small
crowd, with the remark:
Hold up your hands,
Everyone threw up his hands in response to
the demand except Pope. He picked up &
chair and advanced threatenngy to the men
with the masks.
Brain that man with gun," cried Ken
nedy TO Pope.
The next instant a shot rang out, and
Pope fell to the floor dead. The Others fled
and left the masked burglars in possession
of the saloon. The police were notified, and
patrolmen ran to the saloon, to find It un-
occupied. The cash drawer stood wide open.
No trace of the men could be found The
police think they are members Of a wild west

Building.
SETTLED THAT THE BOILER EXPLODED

Standing Portion of the
HuiIding Damaged.

DETROIT Nov 1.-THE work of rescuing
the bodies of the victims Of Wednes-
days explosion in the Journal build
ing went steadily on all day and
tonight. The list of missing decreases about
correspondingly with the number of dead
bodies taken out. over thirty dead bodies
have now been recovered and identified but
the number changes frequently on account
of new and CHASTITY discoveries brought to
light in the ruins. The number killed will
approximate forty. Today's developments
demonstrate conclusively that negligent care
of the boilers was the cause of the accident.
Official inspectors and competent engineers
examined portions of the wrecked boilers
today and pronounced the cause as low water,
causing a superheated condition of the fues,
which was followed by the dangerous injec-
tion Of cold water. Engineer Thompson's s
carelessness is strongly condemned. -
The engineer of the Free Press buildj}8
states that he has warned ThompssH against
leaving his boilers without having any as
slstant to watch them. Some occupants of
the building give similar testimony Thomp-
son insists that he saw both boilers ten min
utes before the explosion and that they con-
tanned plenty of water and slxty-fve pounds
pressure of steam.

BOTH PARTIES ARE PLEASED
Majority Against Female Suffrage
Docs Not Discourage Its AdNOcntcs.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA special from Bos-
ton to the Evening Post says "The majority
given Tuesday against municipal suffrage for
women in Massachusetts was 1900. The
sufragists, represented by Dr. Henry b.
Blackwell, say they are much encouraged by
this result considering the small amount of
money which they could use and the short
time for work. The yes vote of 107 900 re
veals tens of thousands of new friends, they
say, and they will begin at once the organi-
zation of the new clubs to carry on the agi-
tation and to secure municipal suffrage from
the legislature.
"On the other hand, the managers of the
Woman Suffrage association are particularly
pleased with the majority of II 600 They es-
innate that at least $1,000 votes were cast
by women for the suffrage. This would leave
an adverse masculine majority of over 90.-
000 beside the demonstration that about 90
per cent of the women, taking the state
through, do not care for the vote at all.
ut is recalled that the prOhibltory consti
tutiOnal amendment was defeated in 1889 at a
special election by about 100000 and the
effect has been to prevent any further agi-
tation on that line"

a Midnight Fire SuTocntcs n Family
in RrOoISIyn.

III HrOOklyn.
NEW YORK, Nov, six members OF one
family perished by fire in their home on the
top floor of the four-story tenement house al
81 Van Brunt street, Brooklyn, at l o'clock
this morning.
The names of the dead are:
CHARLES RYAN.
ELLEN RYAN.
JOHANNA RYAN, 20 years old.
SARAH RYAN, II year old
MAGGIE RYAN, IA year old.
LIZZIE RYAN, II years old.
The fire started from gas jet in a hall on
the ground floor. 1t burned out Finnegan's 6
saloon on the ground floor and reused Mar
garet Welch and her four children on the
second floor The stairway being on fire they
went to the windows, from which they were
rescued by policemen. The fire quickly got
to the third floor which was unoccuped
After the flames had been eXtinguished a
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 few feet of the window on
the King street side of the house The
others, Ryan, his iwlfe and Lizzie, the
youngest girl, were found in the front room
Ryan had stopped to slip on his trousers
The others were in their night gowns
Vain efforts were made TO resuscitate them
None of the bodies were even scorched by
the flames. Each member of the family had
met death by suffocation.
The building was a death trap. The only
staircase was in the rear, and there were
no fire escapes on the building The police
and fire marshal are making an lnvestiga-
tion. 1t is probable the circumstances OF
the fire will be brought before the grand Jury
for investigation.
