FIRE IN A TENEMENT.
Widow and Two Children Dead
Several Badly Injured.
OVERCOME BY SMOKE.
Daring Work of the Firemen in Res
culng the Inmates, Whose
Escape was Gut OFF.

New York, Jan. Ga tenement house
hre on East Ninety street early
today resulted in three deaths and seven
persons being injured. The dead: Mrs.
Mary Sutherly, a widow Frank Suther-
ly, 8 years old, and James Sutherly, %
months old, two sons Of Mrs. Sutherly.
The injured are: Harry Sutherly, Mrs.
Sutherly's o-year old boy, who is in O
critical condition; Raphael Pitizzo. who
saved family from burning, ankle
sprained and bruised; Fire Lieut.. Charles
Stone and Fireman Michael Edean,
Michael Sullivan, Charles Mccarthy
and Martin O'Leary, who were overcome
by gas and smoke.
The fire started in the cellar, had
gained much Roadway before the firemen
arrived, because of another fire in the
same district, upon which they were en-
gagged at the time the tenement fire was
discovered. A policeman aroused the
tenants. Meantime scaling and extern
sion ladders were raised by the firemen
and a number of women and children
who had collected upon the fire escapes
On the front of the building were safely
carried down. Firemen who had run
hose into the cellar, were being over
come by smoke, when a number OF other
hremen ran in and rescued their suffOcat-
ing comrades.
Raphael PltlZZo, who lived on the third
floor, took his family of three small chill
dren down the rear fire escape to the
second floor, where he was cut off by
flames. While clinging to the fire escape
he was compelled to pass his children
over 12-foot fence, surmounted with
spikes, which separated the tenement
from the adjoining house. His arms
were cut by the spikes on the fence and
when he saw his children all in safe
ty, he collapsed and fell, sustaining
bruises.
When the firemen were able to enter
the building they found the dead body
of Mrs. Sutherly lying face down with
her baby dead in her arms A few feet
from her on the floor lay the half-burned
body of her boy Frank. The damage to
the property is estimated at $1,000.

BRITAIN BACKS DOWN..
Renounces Further Search of Ger
man Mail Steamer General.

Berlin Jan. Ga dispatch Greceiyed
here from Alden, the British fortified port
at the southern entrance of the Red sea,
says the authorities of that place have
renowned all further search of the i'm
perial German mail steamer General de-
tanned there under suspicion of having
contra band of war on board. The dis
patch adds that the steamer will resume
her voyage i'll a few days.
This report has operated to soften some
OF the harsh talk of the German people
and at the same time is interpreted as
showing that the vigorous protests of the
foreign Office did not go UNDECIDED.
While the foreign Office was not to be
stampeded by the outcries of the newSDa-
pers it is quite true that the protests were
accelerated by the vigorous tone OF the
German press. The conservative view
is that in a conflict with Great Britain
Germany would stand alone. and that
France would only be too glad over such
an emergency. The agrarian Deutsche
Tageszeitung goes to the extreme of
comparing the Bundesrath and General
INCIDENTS, to the Fashoda affair.
Fashoda; now the humiliation is ours
IF Bismarck We're still alive says the
Hamburger Nachrichten, ''the matter
would be settled at a rluch quicker

ENGLAND Wants Peace.
DR.. de Pindela, the Portuguese minis
ter at Berlin, III an interview today ex-
pressed the belief that Britain was anx-
ious to conclude peace with the Beers,
and that after the war the Transvaal
had fairer chance than Britain of Sc
curing Delagoa bay.
Many papers suggest that the German
government ought to prohibit the Krupp
works from delivering the $4,000 steel
shrapnels ordered by Great Britain. If
Great Britain was so intently averse to
German war articles being sent to the
Beers she must renounce securing the
same materials for herself.
The Berliner Tageblatt has report to
the effect that the German bark ship
Hans Wagner, which sailed for South
Africa before the outbreak of war, had
powder and dynamite on board
In maritime circles it is suggested that
German imperial mail steamers be escort
ed by warships until danger of seizure by
British ships is passed.

Americans Would Have Lost.
Paris, Jan. 6.-The South African war
is closely followed here, the tendency be-
ing to compare it with the American
struggle for independence. This, how
ever, has brought forth a protest from
LIE Journal which, after pointing out the
difference in numbers between the Beers
and the American colonists, who, it de-
clares, numbered 100000, says: DE
spite the severe struggle of the Amer
leans for several years, they would have
been lost but for the timely aid of France
with her fleet, troops and money. This
was readily forgotten by America, but

FORTUNE GIVEN FOR

Executors of Estate of George NJ.
Pullman Receive S425 5000
for Their Services.

Chicago, Ill.,, Jan. 6.--For their serv-
ices as executors of the estate of George
NJ. Pullman, Robert L. Lincoln and Nor
man b. Ream will receive $425, 000. The
formal order permitting them to take this
sum from the assets of the estate now in
their hands was entered by Judge Batten
of the probate court Yesterday.
Everyone interested in the property left
by Mr.. Pullman gave consent and agreed
that the compensation was not too high.
The fee is the largest ever awarded in
the probate court of this county, or of
any other county in the country so far rs
could be learned. The entry OF an order
granting executors a fortune for little
more than two years service would not,
experienced attorneys say. have been EN-
tered by any court in an estate where
there were minor heirs. 1t would only
be done by unanimous consent

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 6.-Mr. Crane Of
Buffalo, wealthy manufacturer of ele-
yators, stepped off the Santa FEES Cali

walk on the platform and was left be-
hind when the train drew out. His wife

1t was expected that the special would

held forty-five minutes awaiting the ar
rival Of the special. The run from Flor

London, Jan. 6.-Though nothing def
mite is permitted to pass the censor, sufii-
cient transpires to confirm the belief that
an important move on the Tugela river
is imminent. The continual lombard
mcnt kept up On the Boer entertainments
and the numerous reconnaissance are APP
parently connected with well defined
purpose. There are some indications
that the British plan Of attack includes
an important movement via Weenen.
Col Baden-Powells defeat in the sor-
tie at Mafeking raises serious doubts OF
his ability to hold out much longer. To
day, however, comes a report that Col.
Plumer reached Mochudi, from Fort Tu-
Ii, about January /, with the Rhodesian
relief force. AS Col. Plumer has at his
disposal about 1000 men, if the news
is correct, he ought TO pc able to raise
the siege Of Mafeking.
The ineonclusiye fighting around Coles
berg was renewed this morning, the Brit
ish artillery opening to- the westward of
the town. The dispatches Indicate that
the attack is developing into a general
engagement.
Advices from Belmont say that two
companies Of Canadians, dispatched to
cover the return of Col. Pitchers column.

any attempt Of the Beers to cut off the
force.
Band esrath Still Detained.
A dispatch from Cape Town relative
to the release of the steamer Mashona,
having Il quantity of American flour on
board, says the case arouses less interest
than that of the Bundesra th, which, it is
claimed. has been known. for year as a
carrier Of war materials to the Trans
vaal.
Col. Sir Charles Howard Vincent sailed
for South Africa today, although the doc
tors have not permitted him to accom-
pany the London volunteers. Col. Vim

services at the seat of war.
The British admiralty has chartered for
use as a transport the Atlantic transport

Need OF Reinforcements
The Morning Posts military critic dis
cusses the details of Gen. French's and
Gen. Gatacre's skirmishes and operations
and declares that both need reinforce
ments. He adds: Each side of the
Modder river (where Methuen isl wants
to be attacked, but neither cares to at
tack. The consequence is likely to be a
pause until the arrival OF reinforcements.
These will reach the British first if Gen.
Butler wins battle in Natal. If not,
they may come first to the Beers. who
