BIG FIRE In NEW YORK CITY.
SeNen-Story Building i'm Cherry
Street burned with "a Loss Es-
timated nt $5OO,OOO.

New York. Jan. 30.-Tbe seven-story
building in Cherry street, occupied by
the Haywood Bros. & Wakefield Man
ufacturing Co., as chair factory, was
destroyed by fire during the prev
alence or a ofierce gale, which made
the work of the firemen extremely diff
ficult. When the fire broke out there
wer about $50 men at work in the
building, but all escaped without in
jury. The bursting of a tank on the
roof of the building, which precipitat
ed 100000 gallons of water upon the
lire raging beneath it, generated SO
much steam that the walls burst out
Part of the east wall fell upon the
Gerrish warehouse and carried three
firemen with them. For Il time it was
feared the men were lost, but they
were extricated without having sus-
tanned serious injury.
The loss on the building and its con
tents, which were completely de-
stroyed, is estimated at S500,00G.

TWO TRAIN ROBBERS KILLED.
They Belonged to the Gang that
Robbed the Union Pacific
Train in Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 3o.-A report
has reached this city that a posse of
Union Pacific detectives, headed by
Ten Horn, had run down two of the
Union Pacific train robbers in the
Hole-in- -the-wall, and after a desperate
fight killed both of them. One of the
pursuing party was shot, but it is
thought not seriously. 1t is known
that the robbers separated in two
gangs after leaving the railroad, and
the men reported killed were those
who were trailed through the noun
tains SO closely and afterwards es-
capped. 1t is supposed that they re-
turned to the Hole-in-the-wall when
they thought the pursuit was over, and
the detectives have been watching the
rendezvous ever since, till they got
their men.

aee,. badly by an explosion yesterday,
and several men were injured. Severai
thousands of people We're attracted 10

Quickly removed from the ruins FIVE

were taken to a temporary hospita'

summoned to relieve their sufferings'
A rescuing party then went to WORK
searching the wreckage, which, II Is
.supuosed. entombs others of the work
men.
Most Terrific Explosion.
The explosion was one of the most
terrific that ever occurred IN fltts-
burph mill. The roof of the boiler
room was completely lifted from the
building. and the flying iron and steer
fell ir all directions. Heavy beams ana
portions of the masonry We're thrown
for many yards.
Those beside the boilers were scaio-
ed by the escaping steam.
The bodies of the men were so badly
burned and begrimed that they were
scarcely recognizable.
Weeping women and Children.
The families of the workmen VINO
live in the neighborhood realized the
extent of the accident the moment the
thunder of the explosion was heard,
aud women and children rushed al
oEce tc the mill, crying for their loved
ones who were believed to be buried be-
meath the ruins. 1t was Impossible
for the cooler heads to keep back the
torrent of humanity that surged up to
the gates, and for time the frantic
women interfered with the work OF
the rescuers.
The mill had been stopped over sun
day, and the boilers had just been
fired preparatory to starting up again
A Hundred Lives Endangered.
More than a hundred men were
standing about ready to go to WORK
when the explosion occurred. One OF
the boilers rose on end and sheet OF
flame shot out of the furnace door
enveloping Simon Holland,

and Fifty Prisoners.
Beer Headquarters, Spruit, Upper
Trsela, Wednesday, January PA, Mid
night, via Lourenco Marques, Thurs
day. January 25.-Some Vryheid
burghers rushed into the laager say
ing that the kop was lost and that
the English had taken it. Reinforce
ments were ordered up, but nothing
could be done for some time, the hill
being enyeloped in thick mist.
Nj dawn the Heidelberg and Caro-
lima contingents supplemented from
other commandos, began the ascent
of the hill. Three spurs, precipitous
projections, faced the Boer positions.
Up there the advance was made. The
horses were left under the first terrace
of rocks.
Scaling the steep hill the Beers
found that the English had improved
the opportunity and intrenched heav-
ily. Between the lines of trenches was
an open veldt, which had to be rushed
under heavy fire, not only from rifles,
but of lyddite and shrapnel from field
guns. Three forces ascended the three
spurs co-ordinately, under cover of fire
frCm the Free State Krupps, a Creusot
and big Maxim. The Boer investing
party advanced step by step until two
o'clock in the afternoon, when white
flag went up and $50 men in the front
tre2 ches surrendered, being sent pris-
oners to the head laager. The Boer ad-
vance continued on two kopjes east of
Spion lop.
Many Beers were shot, but so numer-
Gus were they that gaps filled at once.
Tow ard twilight they reached the sum-
NIT of the second kopje, but did not
get further. The British Maxims
beiched flame, but wall of fire from
the Mausers held the English back.
Their center, under this pressure grad
ually gave way and broke, abandoning
the position.
Firing continued for some time and
then the fusiliers and the light horse,
serving as infantry, threw up their
arms and rushed out of the trenches.
The effect of the abandonment OF
Spion kop by the English can hardly
be gauged as yet, but it must prove to
be immediate.
