Frishtful Fire in New YORK.

New York, September 4-Fourteen
persons were killed and nearly score
injured in fire in a five.story double
tenement in ATTORNEY street at an early
hour this morning. 1t was one of the
worst fires in the loss of human lives
that has occurred on the East Side in
several years. although the property loss
was slight. The dead included four wo-
men, one man and nine children, ranging
in age from three months to twelve years.
Many of the injured were taken to hos
pitfalls and it is thought that several will
die. Among the injured were five fire.
men, who were on the fourth floor bal
cony when it fell with them. The small
number of men killed and injured was
due to the fact that most of the men who
lived in the building, following the At
torney street custom in hot weather,
were asleep on the roof, while few wo-
men and children were there Those on
the roof were unable to escape by de-
scending through the burning building
and made their way to safety over neigh
boring roofs. Meanwhile the members
of their families who had remained in
their rooms found escape cut off and
panic reigned throughout the structure
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by the explosion of lamp that had
been left to light the hall on the second
floor and the sleeping tenants were not
aroused until the hallway was ablaze
and escape through the building cut off,

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable emedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A gooi liniment and one that
is fast becoming favorite, if not a
household necessity, is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. BY applying it promptly to
cut, bruise or burn it allays the pain
and causes the injury to heal in about
one third the time usually required, and
as it is an antiseptic, it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand sprain may be
treated before inflammation sets in,
which insnres quick recovery. For
sale by j. w. Bell, Walhalla Seneca
Pharmacy and w. j. Lunney, Seneca.
