MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
They Lose Their Lives I'm "a Fire tn
New York City.


New York. May 24.-rwo persons
were killed and three seriously injured
in a fire which started shortly after
tour o'clock Sunday morning in the
four-story and basement brown stone
building at 1140 West Twenty-third
street. Several persons narrowly
escaped death. The dead are: Mrs.
Catherine Mossway, 33 years, died m
hospital from suffocation and burns;
Beatrice Mossway. four years old.
daughter of tine former, subjected in
her room.
The injured: Mrs. Mary c., or Carrie
Bowles, boarding house keeper, at %
Hollis street. Boston, dangerously hurt
by jumping from window on the third
floor; Miss Macdonald, slightly burned
on face; L. S. Phaps. slightly burned on
face. The building was occupied for
both business and dwelling purposes.
In the basement is an all-night eating
house. The Weser Piano company oc-
cupy the first floor, and the upper part
OF the building is n furnished-room es-
adjustment conducted by Mrs. Curtis.
Before the firemen reached the scene
the building was filled with flames.
The Railways from the first floor TO the
roof were in flames, and escape by the
front was cut off. Panic seized the in
mates of the house. While a tenan
named La Mont was crawling along
the narrow sill TO reach the adjoining
house, the body of woman struck a
large sign which hung on the outside
80 la nd m ioh hn ol n -
for support. The sign was torn from its
fastenings and fell with n crash to the
street. The woman was Mrs. Bowles,
who had precipitated herself from the
third floor to the street below when she
found that egress from the house by
way of the stairs was checked by the
flames. She was picked up and taken TO
n hospital. La Mont did not fall TO the
street
Mrs. Mossway, who lost her life, was
sleeping with her little daughter, when
she was aroused by the smoke. She ran
into the hall and gave the alarm, and
then went back after her daughter.
When she started to return, the smoke
and flames drove her again TO her room.
She attempted TO open the window, but
it did not yield readily, and she broke
the glass with her hands. The window
would not open, and even if it had there
would have been little chance for her,
us it is protected on the outside by iron
bars. When the firemen searched the
house they found the little girl dea"
iii bed, the mother lying on the floor
blistered by heat and almost dead from
suffocation. She was removed to n hos
pital, where she died three hours later.
Late in the afternoon Mrs. Bowles re-
covered consciousness at the hospital,
but no hopes are entertained of her Ill
innate recovery. She arrived in the
city three days ago from Boston on a
shopping tour. She is about 35 years
old.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is believed that belated tenant
lit match in the hallway TO see his way,
and carelessly tossed the still burning
match away. The fire started at the
foot Of the stairs, and the light wall
acted as hue to carry the flames TO the
roof instantly. The damage was about
So 900.

FIND DEATH IN PLAY.
Five Boys Are Drowned I'm south
Branch of Chicago River.


Chicago, May 24.-A rude raft Ct
boards ON which six small boys were
navigating in Mud lake--a wide eXpanse
of water in the south branch OF the Chi
cago river just west of the Ashland
avenue bridge-was the cause of q fa-
tally in which five of the little fellows
lost their lives. The boy who precipi-
tated the fright, but whose advice and
example, if followed in time. would
have saved all the lads, was the only one
who escaped drowning. He is John
Honis, nine years old. living at 543 West
Twenty-first street. The other five boys
became panic-stricken after young
Honis jumped from the frail craft in
shallow water, calling upon them to do
likewise, and they finally leaped into
the river where the channel is deep and
were all drowned. The victims are:
Frank Quinn. aged 10: Charles Coates,
aged IL; James Coates, his brother. aged
s; Charles and Albert Svec, twin broth
ers, aged o.

WEALTHY SMUGGLERS.
Two st. Louis GcptIcmen Arrested at
Port of New York.

-
Port of New York.
New York, May "A. Richard NJ.
Scruggs, a st. Louis millionaire. and L.
G. Langhorne. of the same city, were
arrested by custom house inspectors as
they stepped off the steamer st. Paul on
its arrival from Southampton. Warn
ing had evidently been telegraphed
when they left southampton. The
charge is smuggling. When the in
spectors searched Langhorne they
found belt containing diamonds, jew
elry and watches. Similar articles
were found in Mr.. Scruggs pockets.
The captured stuff is worth $4,000. Mr..
Scruggs declared for himself and
Langhorne to the amount OF S25 Gutia-
BILE property.
The two men waived examination be-
held in So 500 bail. 1t was learned that
Scruggs and Langhorne went to Eng
land to sell the patent on calculating
machine and got 100000 for it.
Scruggs' explanation is that he
bought the jewelry for the teachers
OF the St. Louis Sunday School union,
of which he is the president, and that
he was told in England that they were
rot dutiable. Mr.. Langhorne is his
secretary. Scruggs says that it was
Langhorne who declared for the two
that there was nothing more than So
worth of dutiable goods.
Scruggs is the head of big st. Louis
dry goods house.

HOPEFUL SIGNS.
UnmfstaLabie Evidences Of Improve
ment I'm Trade Centers.
New York. May 22.-R. G. Dun & Co.,

New York. May 22.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade. say:
"Unmistakable evidence OF Improvement
comes In the general increase OF commercial
loans. mostly for eastern merchants or
companies. though some well-known
houses In the middle west appear with con-
siderable rediscounts from the south. Not
for a long time have commercial loans been
fully half the whole The distinct change
gives proof that new business has been
larger than many have supposed. Receipts
of money from the interior exceeds ship
ments 81, 500 900, mostly from the middle
west. Exports OF gold have no influence
and only signify the willingness OF Russia
TO pay a price for the gold needed. The
excess OF merchandise imports TO answer
demands for half a year TO come involves
a greater excess OF exports when the an
ticipatory movements end and crops begin
to move, which fact renders large outgoes
of gold less likely. and gives the country
a stronger position in international mar
kets. Meanwhile there is a continuing in
crease, distinct though gradual, in the vol
ume OF business in demand for products OF
manufacture. and. considering the time of
year, i'm movement Of grain and produce.
Wheat again cheated hopeful buyers
and fell nearly four cents, closing 49, cents
lower for the week. Corn was a shade
weaker. Cotton once more hopefully ad-
vanced TO rs cents but fell back to IA
cents. with poor support here or abroad.
Both the volume OF stocks and the condi-
ton of domestic and foreign markets for
goods hinder advance, and later acreage
reports are better. The iron industry has
quite an increase In business, though not
in all branches. Part was due to the rup-
ture of the steel beam pool. and the fall
In price from $l.55 TO $l.25. The Carnegie
works are now turning out 1900 tons Of
rails daily. nearly all on old orders and
expoEs OF finished products increase.
SALES of wool increase, though still
greater than when all the mills were busy,
but manufacturers are doing scarcely any
thing, most of their possible demand for
months ahead having been supplied West
ern holders begin to offer at / to ~ cents
lower than Of late. Wooden goods are dull.
but prices are firm. The strike of clothing
hands here somewhat restricts the new de-
mand. Cotton goods are without change
in prices print cloths still at the low
est on record. and the demand is still! in

of mills at the south.

lists and ended in Il free-for-all fight
among the representatives. Respect tor

would have ensued but for the action of
cool-headed Representatives who got
among their colleagues and the fight
