Many Women and Children Rescued
From Burning Tenement.


NEW YORK, September 10.-More than a
score of women and children were rescued
from a fire in a fve-story tenement house
at J01 10th avenue early today. The blaze
started under a stairway on the second
floor and spread quickly to the roof. The
most sensational incident of the fire was the
rescue of a mother and two children who
had taken refuge on the ledge of window
on the fourth floor. 1t was made after a
conspicuous show of bravery and resource
fulness on the part of two laddermen.
The woman and children had been driven
from their apartment by the flames and
were clingfng to the ledge crying. for help
when the fireman arrived on the scene.
When a thirty-five foot ladder was thrown
up against the side of the burning building
it fell four feet short of the fourth story
window. There was no time to make a
change and two men rushed up the ladder
Balancing himself on the topmost round
while his companion firmly grasped his
legs from more secure position below,
the ladderman caught the children as the
mother dropped them into his arms Other
hremen had taken position on the ladder
by this time and the rescued ones were
passed safely down from their dangerous
position.
One woman was confined to her bed by
Illness and the flames had reached her
room when fireman stove in the window
and carried her down the fire escape Her
husband and children, who had remained in
the fiat, We're carried down extension lad
ders by the firemen.
So quickly did the flames spread through
the tenement that the families living above
the second floor had no time to gather
clothing.
Twelve families occupied the second and
third floors and all had narrow escapes,
losing everything they possessed.

ESOPCS, n. Y. September 1O-Judge
Parker has no intention of going to New
York to personally take charge of the cam-
paign, as reported from New York last
night. 1t is true Il at after his letter of
acceptance has been made public he may
visit New York frequently for the purpose
of meeting delegations and comforting with
political managers, though no definite plans
have been adopted. If such an arrange
ment Is made it Will be because of the in
accessibility of Rosemount for the enter

charge of the canvass or to assist the COM

Col. Daniel S. Lamont and John D. Wing

today to take luncheon with Judge Parker.
This gave Colonel Lamont an opportunity
to talk over the political situation with
Judge Parker. who desired to consult with
former President Cleveland's Secretary of
War on several matters connected with the
national campaign. The candidate accepts
colonel Lamonts statement that he does
not desire the sovernorship nomination for
New York and it is understood that he has
no intention of asking him to change his
mind. Judge Parker and Colonel Lamont
are warm personal friends.
