Blaze.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-The old Ma

"a mysterious manner about 2 O'Clock
this morning. A moment later flames
burst out in the elevator shaft and
quickly spread from the main floor to the
roof. Enoch Harris. the janitor. and his
wife, were on the top floor when the
fire started. Harris took his wife down
TO the fourth floor, and with her then
slid down chain 20 the roof Of build
ing on Park Place, from which place
they were rescued by the police. Within
a stones throw of the burning building
were stores Of Pains Fire Works Com
pany and the Unexcelled Fire Works
Company, but the fire was confined to
the old bank building
The fire caused a panic among the
guests of the Astor House. a block
away, who ran into the street in night
attire. Most of the damage resulting
from the blaze is distributed among a
dozen or more firms which had Offices

SUBWAY CARS TRIED
ON ELEVATED ROAD
Fireproof Vehicles Have All the
New Kinks.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-The first train
OF cars equipped for service in the sub
way was operated yesterday afternoon
over the Second Avenue elevated line
and part of the Third Avenue line. The
train was composed OF five cars. and S
ID. smith. superintendent OF the Man
haitian division, acted as motorman.
The trip from Bronx Park to South
Ferry was made in an hour. At Hanover
Square the train was boarded by Au-
gust Belmont, president of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company, and
others. In pointing out the new fea-
lures or the cars and their equipment.
superintendent Hedley called attention
70 the manner in which the work OF
rendering them fre-proof had been &C
ccnplished.
The cars are three inches wider and
four feet longer than those on the ele-
waited. but are FIVE inches lower. They
are AFRO three inches narrower at the
top than at the bottom, in order to
clear the tunnel. The floors are double.
with asbestos roll-felt sandwiched he
tween, and the food sheathing is of white
pine, completely covered on the under
side with quarterback asbestos transit
board. All parts OF each car are COW
cred With fire-proOnng compound. AS
soon as they have been tested $50 CT
these cars will be put into operation on
the Second Avenue elevated line. and the
cars at present in use on that line viii
be used on the other elevated lines, SO
that the elevated service will thus be
increased during the winter by 30
cars.
The train line pressure in the new
cars is coupled with the electric con l.
troller. and If at any time the current is
being fed into the motors the motor
man must have his hand on the con
troller. II. for any reason he should take
his hand off the controller when the
train is in motion the brakes are at
once set on the entire train.

VAUGHAN'S SUCCESSOR
FOND OF HARD WORK
Archbishop of Westminster Likely
10 Prove Popular.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The election OF
DR.. Bourne as successor TO the late Car
dinaI Vaughan as Archbishop Of West
minister will be, or. at any rate, should
he. well received by the English Catho-
lie Church as a whole. That the new
primate's promotion TO the cardinalate
will speedily follow IS foregone con-
clusion. despite his comparative youth.
The new archbishop carries his forty
two years well, but he cannot without
fiattery be said TO look younger. For lie
IS a believer in the strenuous life, ana
his motto has ever been. work, work,
work Since 1854. when he was ordained
priest, he has never found time to be
idle, and his ceaseless activity and
rigorous practice OF economizing every
hour OF every day has made him in man
ner little detached and abrupt. in con-
versation precise and definite, and in all
things sincere and determined.
As drill sergeant he would ave
turned out perfectly trained soldiers. as
an organizer of any commercial under
taking he would have made a fortune.
and as Archbishop of Westminster he
will speedily convince the doubters taat
his appointment is not. as some have
said, a colorless one.
He was lOrn to command, as the III es
around his nose and mouth indicate. and
II his sympai hies are less keen than
Manning's they have moro breadth. AID
his inviucitle energy viii enable him
to make a success Of everything thai his

ate. She returns in better health and is
rer-aining quiet and abstaining from
much OF the outdoor sports and social

saily for several hours and ridden horses

plays tennis. and refuses 20 give up.
Miss Cynthia Roche is still playing

each morning instead. and Miss Gwen

Miss Anna Sands, one OF the best

by bathing at Bailey's Beach, luncheon.
a ride or drive. a dinner and a dance
night after night. until some OF he
young girls broke down. Then the halt
