Suspicious of Incendiarism.

Anonymous letters threatening vio-
lence TO the Andrews family had been
received by them as early as January
and continuously during the last ten
weeks, the last arriving Thursday
morning. They demanded the dis
charge of Mary Flanagan, chamber
maid, with the alternative that the home,
family and servants would be endan-
gered. A desire for revenge growing
out of a servants quarrel is believed to
have inspired them. Mr.. st. John be-
lieves the fire and letters are connected.

The servants of Andrews were on

the cook, leaped from the window to an
extension which rose to the third floor.
She was found there unconscious by
firemen. Jennie Burns. another of the
servants, jumped from the same win
dow TO the extension. She crushed in
her skull and died in the hospital four
hours later.

New York, April s.-The fire which
visited the wealthiest section of the city
during the early hours of Friday caused
the death of 13 persons, and ten others
were injured, some probably fatally.
The list of dead is almost equally di-
vided between people of unusual wealth
and servants. The fire spread so quick
ly that it gave no chance of escape. The
amount of damage done to property is
estimated at about 100000.
The fire originated at the corner OF
Sixty-seventh street and Fifth avenue,
in the house occupied by Wallace C..
Andrews, president of the Steam Heat
ing company.

and his wife occupied the middle room
on the second floor. There, two hours
later, their bodies were found clasped
in each others arms. They were so
charred as to be almost beyond recog-
milton

Fire a Mystery.

There were in the house IA persons,
fast asleep. How the fire originated is
still a mystery, though it seems toler-
ably certain that an explosion of some
kind occurred, but whatever was the
cause the flames gained hold with such
rapidity that only two escaped from
the building. One of these is so badly
injured that she has no chance of sur
viving. The fire communicated to
Sixty-ninth street, and in the house of
Albert j. Adams a servant was burned
TO death, thus bringing the total of vic
Tins to 13. So thoroughly did the
flames do their work that when the
Quilted Andrews house was searched
the corpses were so charred as to be
almost beyond positive Identification.
The names of the dead were ascer-
tanned more from certain knowledge
of those who were in the house over
night than for the traces of the living
image that they retained
