Many Deeds of Heroism.

There were many deeds of heroism,

had no authority. Mrs. Gorbett said
that under no circumstances would she

done for the priscners, whereupon the

structure was already on fire. Hastily
setting the other prisoner free, Redpath
took the arm of Mrs. Emmons, who is an
elderly woman and needed assistance,
and Beveredge picked up two of the

The Losses.
The heaviest loss falls on the Diamond
z Match company, whose plant was valued
at S1,0O0,0OO, with insurance of S447
500. The losses Of the townspeople will
foot up to 100000, with insurance O.
less than one-third.
The most discouraging feature of th,
situation is that the Diamond Mattel

A Collector Had to Give Up All He Had,
Ten Cents. When ON II Collecting Tour.


Abraham Freidelsohn. an insurance collector.
living at 80 Clinton street, visited the fiat Of a
Mrs. Comfy in a rear tenement at SO Bethune
street yesterday morning to collect some insur-
ance. When the Insurance agent entered her
rooms he found two men there, one OF whom
was Charles Tierney OF ia Bank street. As
Freidelsohn entered Tierney jumped up and
said to his companion:
Here's the landlord, and he always carries a
wad."
Tierney grabbed an axe which was standing
against the wall and held 1t in a threatening
manner over the frightened agents head, at the
same time demanding his money. Frcidelsohn
said he was not the landlord and had no money.
Mrs. Comfy came to his relief and said he was
only the insurance agent. Tierney said that
He gave him 10 cents, saying that 1t was all he
had. Seeing presently n chance TO escape, he
left the house on u run.
He met Policeman Taylor OF the Charles street
station at West and Twelfth streets and related
his experience. Taylor started back 70 the
house with him. On the way there Freidelsohn
pointed out one Of three men who were coming
in the opposite direction as the man who had
threatened him with the axe. Taylor grabbed
the man indicated. who turned on the police
man and began to fight for his liberty. at the
same time yelling to his two companions to
thrash FreidelsOhn.

using the insurance man pretty roughly when

Of the proposition of the Brooklyn elevated
railway companics TO lease the railway upon the
Brooklyn Bridge. also approves Of the plan to
connect the sixth avenue elevated road with

than the Manhattan Company has gone In tho
matter. lie has in mind certain additional ex.
tensions To the elevated system OF this city
whereby great relief would bc given to the city.
His plan in brief Is "a follows;
He would advise that Il branch be built from
the bridge through centre street to Canal and
through Canal to the sixth and Ninth avenue
ines. Then he would have this branch extend
ed through Canal to Dcsbrosses street and
through Dcsbrcsscs street to West and down
West to Pier /. connecting again with the main
lines at. Battery Park station. On this branch

Then. finally, he would have the lines of the

The Mayor returned To the Aldermen yester-
day with his disapproval three resolutions
granting extensions to the Metropolitan Rail
way Company. one. In Broome street, between
Crosby and broadway; one in University
place. Wooster, West Third, and West Fourth
streets, and one In Dey and Greenwich streets
and West Broadway. The resolutions imposed
no conditions as to transfers, and required the
company to clean Off snow only between tho
rails and for two feet on either side of the
tracks. The Mayor recommended that the
resolutions should be amended to require the
company to clean the snow Off the street from
curb TO curb. including that which has been
thrown into tho streets from the sidewalk.
and that the work be done under the super
vision of the Commissioner Of Street Cleaning.
The Mayor also recommended that a condition

Solution OF the Chicago Packing-box Mys-
tery-Case OF Murder.

CHICAGO. March 3l.-The body OF the man
found In the packing box a week ago is that of
Oliver Pike, who mysteriously disappeared from
Seattle in July, 1892. He went from his home
in Fayette. o.. to Washington State six years
ago. The solution of the mystery was accom-
pllshed by the testimony of the murdered mans
uncle, William Doriot, and the formers cousin,
given before the Coroner's jury this afternoon
Mt the County MorGue. identification was COM
plete. The jury found that the body was that
of Oliver Pike and that no had been murdered
BY "A blunt instrument, i~nhicting two fractures
of his skull, and that the murderer was I'M
known.
A possible clue Is to be found In the fact that
Pike was employed as an attendant at the Stel-
LAGOON Insane Asylum for a short time soon
after his arrival IN Washington, and that he
was discharged In the fall of 1870, after certain
alleged scandals and abuses had. occurred Rt
the Institution. OF which Pike had knowledge.
In the spring or 1892 he started n laundry Rt
Everett, but failed, and just before hs d'sap-
peared he was living in Seattle in the home OF
d. VI. Jones. an old friend. He left the Jones
home on July . to meet friends who were com
ing from Port Flakoley, and that was the last
seen or heard of him.
