CAPE BY JUMPING.

New York, Sept. 5.-Fourteen per-
sons were killed and nearly a score
injured in fire in a flve-story double
tenement in Attorney street at an
early hour Sunday morning. 1t was
one of the worst fires in the loss OF
human life that has occurred on the
East Side In several years, although
the property loss was slight.
The dead include four women. one
man and nine children, ranging in age
from three months to twelve years.
Many of the injured were taken to
hospitals and it is thought that sew
eral of these will die. Among the in
jured were five firemen who were on
a fourth floor balcony when it fell with
them.
The small number of men among
the killed and injured was due to the
fact that most of the men who lived
in the building, following the Attorney
street custom in hot weather, were
asleep on the roof, while but few OF
the women and children were there,
Those on the roof were unable to es'
cape by descending, through the burn
ing building, and made their way to
safety over neighboring roofs. Mean
while the members of their families
who had remained in their rooms
found escape cut off and panic reigned
throughout the structure.
A number of daring rescues were
made by firemen and police and the
conditions under which they worked
were unusual and difficult. The loss
of life was due chiefly to the fact that
alterations were being made in the
tenement building. and the exit from
the upper floors was by way of small
step ladder. Twelve families lived in
the house,

Over Future of Universlty.' T.; =

Baltimore, Sept. 6.-In a statement
Monday Cardinal Gibbons said he did
not feel any anxiety over the future of
the Catholic university in Washington,
nor does he fear that it's prosperity
will be affected by the bankruptcy of
Thomas E. Waggaman of that city,
who was the depository of large funds
belonging to the university.
II shall do everything in my power
to assist the university" said the
cardinal. my interest in its success
and prosperity is we'll known. There
need be no apprehension that the work
of the university will be impaired.
There will be no diminudon of it's
work, students will be taken as usual,
and the courses will go on during the
year precisely as if there had been no
shrinkage in the Waggaman funds.
There is money belonging to the uni
versity which was not in the hands of
Mr. Waggaman."

STAKELBERG ESCAPES
ELUDEs JAPANESE ARMlEs AND
JOINS kuRoPATKaN At HIS
NEW POSITION.

st. Petersburg, Sept 5.-General
Kuropatkin, in report dated Satur'
day, Sept. 5, p. m, says that the
greater part of his army, including
General Stakelbergs force, which sue
ceeded Ia rejoining the main force, IL
now south Of the Yentai mines, about
ten miles from Liaoyang.
The troops which were left at Lao
yang and the surrounding fortiflca-
tions to cover the retreat crossed the
Taitse river Saturday and occupied
the right bank of the river.
The report says that after the de-
cisive engagement between the armies
of Generals Kuropatkin and Kuroki,
large numbers of Japanese, perfectly
concealed in the Chinese corn and
grass, stealthily crept upon the re-
treating Russians and inflicted heavy
losses.
These same tactics had previously
been adopted with terrible results
against General Orloffs mixed detach-
ment, which was assailed in the midst
of the grass with completely unex-
pected fire. A panic ensued, and one
regiment alone lost 1,500 men, half
OF it's total strength.
Kuropatkin's message threw a more
hopeful light on the position of the
Russian army, and the authorities
gave signs OF relief.
There is no attempt, however, to
conceal the gravity of the situation,
in view of the absence of news re-
garding what is happening Sunday.
1t is not clear from the latest tele-
gram whether the Russians are &oe
tinuing their retreat or if they have
been compelled to face their foe.
The war Office says that the Russian
retreat from Liaoyang did not involve
the loss of guns. and that the abandon
ed stores at Liaoyang were set on fire
before the Russians crossed the Tai
tse river.
The Russian losses before Liaoyang
on Sept. 2, as officially computed, were
5000.

Bee hunting possesses charm pecul-

wherever flowers grow, even within the
limits Of the town. Yet. seemingly,
there are few who know this or are at

The necessary outfit consists Of box

This Is divided into an upper aud lower

He turned states evidence, duplicating two ranchers who lived near Sheep Creek station.
