Wln0oski, Aug. 1l-Fred MeCarty, a

hours after commitment yesterday after
noon MeCarty was arrested for int0xi-
cation By 0incef Bergeron Of She village
force about one O'Clock ON complaint of
Peter Lafouutain, and placed in the lock-
up on Malletts Bay avenue About four
O'Clock John MeGrath, a bartender at
BIeGreevey's saloon and member Of the
hose company, crossed the street to the
hose house and entered the front door.
On entering he detected the 0dor Of smoke
and on investigation located it ID the vic
Unity Of the cells. He ran outside and
around the building TO window at the
rear Of the cells, and broke the glass, al
lowing the smoke to escape and permitting
a view Of the interior.
MeGrath secured an axe aud broke
down the street door on the north side and
entered with Louis Monge0H. The iron
bar and paddock on the cell door soon gave
way to a few well directed blows. The
unfortunate man was found lying on the
floor, close to the cell door with his coat
wrapped tightly about his head, and Ia an
unconscious condition. All attempts at
resuseitation failed.
The theory advanced as to the cause Of
the fire Is that the man, In emptying his
pipe, while lying ON the bunk, dropped
live ashes on parts Of the bed clothing,
which hung over the side anG ca the floor.
They must have sm0uldered for some
time as the fire was not discovered fol
three hours following the arrest. An
empty pipe, d card Of matches, and a pack
age 0f tobacco we're found IN the pockets
of the mans coat The mans body oi

death was caused BIZ snfocation
