Then, it was clear that the janitor could
not himself have stolen the goods. He
might have had an accomplice, however,
who may have been concealed somewhere
in the roOm, and carried of the jewelry
while Frank was taking his two-minute
view Of the horses in the alley. This fhief
might have dropped the ring into Franks
pocket so AZ to point suspicion toward
its owner.
Ny theory proved correct. A guarded
talk with some people living near the
home Of Hogan, the ~janitor, made me &C
quainted with his character and habits,
What I learned was not to his credit. I
also came into possession Of the fact that

pleting arrangements for operating cab service
OF its own in this city. The cabs will probably
begin running on Sunday. May 10, when the
new ferry line between Jersey City and West
Twenty-third street will be opened. The COM
pany has been making preparations for this ser
vice for some time. About $50 horses have been
purchased and broken in to cab work in Phla-
delpha. A train load will arrive here to-day
The vehicles. which have been especially con-
structed for this service, also expected to
arrive here to-day. There will be sixty carriages
and several large stages. The running gear will
be red and the tops an olive green.
1t was said yesterday that system of fares
had been arranged yet, but there is a rumor that
there will be considerable reduction from
present prices. The cabs will be stationed at the
Twenty-third Street Ferry and probably at Des-
brosses street. They may be used in bringing
passengers to the ferries also. There will be no
attempt to get "A general city business. The new
cabs will supplant the passenger service OF tho
New York Transfer Company. but will not inter
fere with that companys baggage transfer
system.
The new ferry house between Twenty-third
and Twcnty-fourth streets will be turned over

PARIS,s WORST DISASTER.

nothing In Its History Can Compare with tho
Catastrophe OF Tuesday.
Paris has nothing in its history with which 1t
can properly compare the catastrophe Of the Rue
Jean Goujon. Tho last great fire accompanied
by loss of life was the burning down OF tho Opera
Comique, May 25, 1887. when nearly 200 lives
were lost. Tho victims of that fire, however,
woro nearly all unknown, whereas those who
perished on Tuesday were persons of social posi-
tion, many Of them belonging TO the most OK
elusive royalist and Catholic grand monde OF
the Faubourg Saint German. Among them is an
orlcanist princess closely related to the house
OF Austria.
For fire where tho victims were exclusively
society people It Is necessary to go back to
Prince Schwarzenbergs 3 disastrous ball. in July.
1910, that camo near burning up an Emperor
and Empress OF the French. Prince Schwarzen-
berg was Ambassador Of tho Emperor OF Austria
to Napoleon l., and the ball was given at the

modelling of the Paris Fire Department and its
organization in the shape in which it stands
practically to-day. Gloomy forcbodings OF the
result OF Napoleons marriage had been formed
by persons who rcmemb bered the catastrophe at
the last Austrian marriage, that of Mario
Antoinette with the Dsuphin. later Louis xvi,
in 1870. when panic in the crowd assembled to
see the fireworks on the Place Louis XIV. now tho
Place de la Concorde. not far from the scene OF
Tuesdays horror. resulted in the death OF 1,20O
persons.
A cousin of the Duchesse d Alencon. the young
daughter Of the late Archduke Albrecht OF
Austria. was burned to death before her fathers
eyes some years ago by her dress catching fire.
For the helplessness OF the victims, and the
large proportion OF women lost, a parallel must
be sought outside of France, in the dreadful
catastrophe at Santiago in Chilli in 1863 when
1000 persons the greater number OF them
women. were burned up in the Cathedral. It
was on the feast day OF the Immaculate Concep-
tion. The church had been decorated with great
deal Of inhammable material. when a candle,
flaming up on the altar, set the whole in blaze.
