TWO WOMEN BURNED.
They Attempted to Remove a
Blazing Oil Stove That
Had Exploded.

The explosion of a kerosene oil stove in
the apartments of Moritz Cannuskie, at
No. S27 Adam street, Hobolken, this morn
ing. resulted in the burning of tive wom-
en-, one of whom lies in st. Marys Hospi-
tai in a critical condition.
Shortly after ten o'clock an explosion
was heard on the ground floor of the
building and Cannuskie emerged from his
apartments yelling Fire at the top of
his lungs. Mrs Rosie t3uaragalia, who is
81 years old, was sitting on her stoop at
No. S29 Adam street, with her daughter,
Mrs Louisa Lazzasa, at the time and
when they saw Cannuskie run out they
ran into the house and attempted to
throw the stove out into the street.
Cannuskie was so sofrsghtened that he kept
crying cut and wringing his hands, hav-
ing lost his self-control entirely. The
brave women in their attempt to save
their cowardly neighbor's goods did not
take into consideration the danger they
were running, and as they went to lift
up the stove covered with burning oil
their dresses caught fire and in a moment
they themselves were wrapped in flames.
They dropped the stove and ran toward
the street. As they reached the door,
their clothes mass of flames, they were
met by Policemen iMcKenna and Leahy,
who had been attracted to the scene by
the frantic actions Of Cannuslkie
MoKenna pulled off mis- blouse and
wrapped 1t. around old Mrs. Guaragalia,
who tainted just as she reached him. He
fought hard and soon succeeded in smoth-
ering the the flames, but not until they
had burned the old lady's face and hands
almost to a crisp and singed all the hair
off her head Her body was also terribly
burned. In putting out he flames Nc
kenna's hands were severely burned
In the meantime Leahy had succeeded
in extingliisAing the flames on Mrs. Lag
zasps clothing. She was not so badly
burned, but had to be taken to the hos
pital nevertheless, her hands and body
being more or less charred She kept the
face
While the policemen were attending the
women someone sent in an alarm and the
Fire Department arrived. The firemen
soon extinguished the fire, which did
about 500 damage to the furniture and
$500 ito the building.
Both Mckenna and Leahy were com
plfmented at Police Headquarters for

Spanish Troops in Cuba Scoursed
with Yellow Fever and Smallpox.

stbtn n CHOW FeRef anu Sgst stS1is0X.
WASHINGTON, May 10, 1Se6.-Surgeon-
General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital
Service, received an official report from
I DR.. Burgess, United States Sanitary In
speotor at Havana, stating that on May
II he paid one of his frequent visits to
all of the eight hospitals in and around
the city, including the military, civil
and private institutions. He ascertained
that nearly all the yellow fever in Eav-
ana is at present among the soldiers at
the military establishment.
During the week of his visit twelve new
cases of the disease developed among the
troops and five deaths occurred. On the
day of his visit rain fell for the first time
in six weeks, followed by exceedingly
hot muggy weather. DR.. Burgess de-
clares that the effects of these warm
rains will be an increase of the disease
both in Havana and along the Trocha
where the sanitary condition is poor.
Smallpox. he writes, which has existed
in Havana for more than eighteen menths
is again on the increase and fears are
entertained that it may become epidemic,
from sixty to seventy-five new cases hav-
ing developed in the last week.
The United States Consul at Cienfuegos
reports to the State Department that the
smallpox epidemic is becoming quite
alarming, there being over 300 cases in the
town, and it's suburbs, and the number of
deaths rapidly growing.

SEWERS AND STREETS
Twenty Thousand Dollars to
Drain the Northern Sec
on-Eleetrie Lights
Wanted.

The Street and Water Commissioners
met this morning and asked the Board
Of Finance for an appropriation of $4,000
with which to reconstruct the sewers of
Sixth and Eighth streets. These sewers
are in deplorable condition, and instead
of the water from the Hill being carried
off by them, it is backed up in Easements
and cellars, destroying property and
jeopardizing health. The Sewers are re-
sponsiible. also, it is said, for the con-
tinued flooding of the meadows at the
foet of the HillRwith foul sewage. Engi-
neers have examined the condition that
prevails and have found that the cheap-
est and most effective way to give per-
feet drainage is by connecting the sew
ers from the Hill with the big main
sewer in Pavonia avenue To do this
1t would be necessary to continue the
Pavonia avenue sewer through Hamilton
Park. It's extension, however, would
drain the meadow land, relieve the Sixth
and Eighth street lateral sewers and
drain all that section of the city thor
oughly. The plan would involve the ex-
penditure of not quite $4,000.
The Board decided to improve Payonsa
avenue, between Chestnut and Summit
avenues: to construct a sewer in Har-
mon street. from $50 feet west of Arling-
ton avenue to Grand street. to improve
Garrison avenue, between Stuyvesant and
Tonnele avenues, and finally to advertise
for bids for the reconstruction Of sec
tions of the sustaining wall of the Noun
tain Road. Residents of Summit avenue
and Sherman and Sandford places asked
fer more electric lights. The Thomas
B. Reed Ninth Ward Republican Club
wants electric lights put on the corners
of Stuyvesant, Sip and Pavonia avenues
and Broadway, at West Side avenue.
Property owners of Cottage street want
that street paved with asphalt, between
Summit avenue and the Boulevard. at
the eity's expense.
Application was made for the improve
,ment of Carteret avenue, between Airing
ton and Pacific avenues; Walker avenue
between Bergen and Jackson avenues
and Bergen avenue, from Chestnut to
Summit avenue.

gomery street bridge over Cornelson ay-
