FATAL FIRE.
Three Persons Burned to Death in a
Big Blaze in New York--0therS Fa-
tally Burn9d---TWO Big Buildings
Gutted.

New York, August 11.-At least three
persons and possibly others were burned
10 death in a fire that destroyed six
story brick building a No. 465 Green
witch street this afternoon. The dead
are William Gray, foreman Of electric
al r5pair shops. and TWO unknown men,
all Of whom were caught on a fire
escape and burned to death in view Of
tne crowd.
The injured who are expected to d!7
are Felix Haas and an unknown man.
The other pc. sons hurt went TO a hospi-
tai and then home.
How the fire started is not known,
but lis origin is attributed TO an eX-
plosion. II began in the rear on the
ground floor Of No fG5 Greenwich
street. and before the alarm could be
given the flames shot up air shafts ana
the smoke was pouring out Of the rooi.
Most of the fifty persons in the build
Ing were at work in the machine shops
Of \. K. Warren & Co., on The filth
floor of the building. Those who We're
first to reach the fire escapes succeeded
in making their way down TO the first
floor landing and from there jumped TO
the Sidewalk. These who followed af-
ter that were cut off by flames and
dense smoke which poured on, OF the
windows below and escaped over the
roof.
One Of the last men to make for the
fire escape on the fifth floor was the
foreman. VIM. Gray. He was seen on
the landing for moment He was fo.-
lowed by another man who was not
recognized. Men on the roof shouted
for Inn to take hold Of q Wire which
they had let down, but they either did
not hear them or were too frightened TO
do anything. Flamei suddenly shot
M and drove the men on the roof back
and then they los sign, of the men be-
low. When it shifted the charred bod
les of the two men were seen on the
fire escape as the fremen played the
hose into the building.
Another unknown man appeared on
the same ile-escape above Gray's body.
For an instant he gazed disracJed.y a.
the crowd below 4 sheet Of fame
swept from the window again and when
il fell back The deaf coly OF the
man was lying on The grating.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The name Of Hon W. s. L2idiey, OF
Charleston, VIII be presented to the
Democratic State Convention at Wheel
ing next week as a candidate for the
nomination for judge Of the supreme
court. The nomination belongs prop
erly to the Third district, each Of the
other districts having already one mem-
ber of the court. In addition to that
il is almost imperative that one of the
Judges should reside a the capital
where the principal terms of the court
are he'd. MI Laidley is recognized as
one of the ablesJ lawyers oil the Kama
wha bar and there is no one who could
more successfully combat the RepLb-
Lean candidate, II. c. McWhor,er. in
his own county. In 1883 KanaWha
county gave Gen. G0fi Republican
majority for Governor Of 1000. In the
following year Mr. Laidley who was
candidate for member Of the county
court. carried the county by over 100,
running nearly 2,000 votes ahead Of
the average vote of the Other Demo-
cratic. candidates. Facts Ike this
should not be overlooked when the
nominations are being made.
