The Raincs liquor tax bill! passed the
Assembly In Albany Thursday night. Rev.
cntcen Republicans voted with the Demo.
Gratis against the bill. The scene In the
Assembly during the passage Of tho bill
was one Of almost riot, and was certainly

the opponents from breaking a quorum,
and the sergcant.nt-arms was frequently
called upon to preserve order. This bill
will become a law as soon ns signed by
Gov. Morton. 1t Il certainly the most
vigorous excise legislation New. York has
ever known, but even Its most Mttcr enc.
mics admit that Il will close nineteen out
Of twenty Of tho class Of saloons that are
frcqucntcd by the criminal and degraded.

GEORGE MITsCH HURT.
Reported Victim of Highcayman,
But Denies the story

The latest victim OF the holdup art
lists who have been operating in this
city of late, is Fire Commissioner
George F. Mitsch, who was sandbagged
While on his way home last Wednes-
day evening. Mr.. Mitsch was walk
ing along Aurora avenue near Kent
street when the assault took place,
and as he was attacked from the rear,
saw nothing OF the foOtpads. The at
tack was so unexpected that Mr. Mitsch
remembers little of the circumstance,
as he was rendered unconscious by
the blow across the top of the head.
A pedestrian was passing under a
lamp post half a block away at the
time, and as he was struck Mr. Mitsch
cried out for help and attributes his
escape from being searched by the
thugs to this cause. He carried a gold
watch and chain which was untouched,
and a small sum of money When he
recovered his senses Mr.. Mitsch found
a large welt on the top of his head
and a badly bruised scalp where he
had fallen upon the icy sidewalk The
swelling on the head was undoubtedly
caused by a blow from a. sandbag in
the hands Of one skilled in the use of
the murderous weapon. Mr. Mitsch,
when asked concerning the holdup, de-
clared there was no truth in the story,
saying he had received his injuries in
an accident at home.

GASOLINE TOOK FIRE.
So Did the Kitchen Where the Fluid
Was Exposed.

A gasoline explosion, through which
serious consequences were narrowly
aVerted, occurred at the residence OF
Mrs A. NJ. Shave, No. 402 East Ninth
street, at noon yesterday. A domestic
attempted to fill a gasoline stove in
the kitchen where a cooking range was
burning, when the gas from the can
ignited and produced the explosion. AS
the sheet Of flame shot from the stove
the girl dropped the can and jumped
through a near by doorway, thus saw
ing herself from serious injury and
possible death by burning. The oil
from the can ran out upon the floor OF
the kitchen and in a moment the en-
tire room was in flames. A telephone
call for the fire department was sent
in from st. Mary's parsonage across the
street. and only the rapid response of
the apparatus saved the residence from
destruction. AS it was the kitchen was
badly burned. causing loss Of about
5000 to the building.
