A Big Apartment House at Utica, N. Y,
Burns and -Four Persons Perish
UTICA, N. Y, March 4-The Genesee
apartment house, located on Genesee
street, in one of the best portions Of
this city, burned early Tuesday morn
ing. The structure was seven stories
high, with ten flats on each floor.
About GO of the fats were occupied and
there were probably 800 people in the
building. They were mostly well-to-do
persons and their apartments were
handsomely furnished. The fire orig
mated in the basement, but from what
cause is not known. Those who were
first alarmed escaped by the stairs.
The flames soon cut off this means Of
egress. The fire escapes at the rear of
the building carried many to the
ground, but several were severely
burned in descending. When this mode
of escape was also cut off. upwards of
40 tenants remained in the building.
The ladders and aerial truck proved
inadequate and the people were low
cred from the fifth, sixth and seventh
floors by means of bed clothes
1t is certain that four lives were lost.
They are:
Mrs. Hugh Hughes, who fell to the walk while
escaping and died soon after
Mrs. John Wood, niece of the late Gov. Sey-
| mour.
Mary Wood, her daughter. Is years of age.
| Noble Hopkins, 65 years Of age.
The bodies of these three have not
been recovered. 1t is also believed
that two other persons who were un-
conscious in the hall when some of the
inmates escaped, went down in the
ruins.
James Potter jumped from the Sec
ond floor and broke his leg. Many
other minor injuries are reported. The
building was the largest of its kind in
Utica. 1t cost about Sl20, 900 and was
insured for 5000 The losses aggre-
gate about S5OO,OOO, the personal losses
being very large. The destruction Of
the building is complete.

COTTON.

The cotton market during the past week
ranged within narrow limits. Specula-
ton was slow and the transactions in
futures were confined to room traders
almost entirely. The money stringency
mad great deal to do with the dullness.
The approaching election had an effect
on the market, and kept spectators from
making investments. The receipts at the
ports continued in full volume. The ex-
ports were heavy. The frost scare, re-
ported in some sections in the cotton belt,
dld not have much effect.
The local market was fairly active dur
ing the week, the tone quiet and steady.
Middling cotton was quoted at cents
nearly every day of the week. There were
slght fluctuations and increased sales at
each decline.
The market to-day advanced 1-16c, and
closed quiet and steady; middling being
. quoted at 71-16c-1-16c higher than last
Friday

Of the three hurricanes. only that com

was its sudden development to high energy,
the continuance of its violence for i've days,
DURING which many vessels suffered destruc-

its rapid development and comparatively
small area must be attributed the fact that
the usual indications that give warning along
the southern coast or at Bermuda were
wanting in this particular cyclone. Gentle
or moderate breezes only were reported from
the coast stations and Bermuda, while be-

excellent reports received, the cyclone was
