A 100000 FIRE LOSS.
Crossed Wires Caused a Disastrous
Blaze at WiIkesbarre, Pa.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 22.-One of
the most disastrous fires that has oc-
Cured in this city in some years
started at an early hour Sunday.
The loss entailed will reach 100000.
The fire originated in the millinery
department on the second floor of the
Isaac Long dry goods house in the
Welles building on the west side of
the public square, one of the handsom-
est and costliest structures in this
city. When first discovered the flames
were controlled by the firemen in less
than an hour. A second fire broke out
in the basement of the building.
A careful investigation was made
by electricians, who declare the fire
was first caused by the crossing of
two electric wires. the water used TO
quenCk the first flames following some
of the wires into the basement of the
building, where a short circuit was
formed, causing fash from a large
dynamo which started the second fire.

loans amounting to about $1,250000
upon which it had not been able to

JEWS RIOT IN WARSAW.
Eight People Killed and 100 Wounded
During Conflicts Between Hebrews.

Warsaw, May 26.-The Jewish dis
turbances continued all day yesterday
and were still in progress late last
night Eight persons have already
been killed and 100 wounded, 19 seri-
Cusly. The damage to property has
been considerable. There has been no
pillaging, but the destruction of the
furniture in various houses has been
absolute.
The mob armed with axes smashed
the doors and windows and brought
the furniture out on the streets where
they broke it into small pieces. The
owners of the furniture in attempting
to defend their belongings were at
tackled, beaten and even killed. Knives
and revolvers were used freely and
many persons were terribly injured.
The authorities took no steps to
prevent the riots until late last night,
when the Cossacks fired on the crowds
at two points, woundng four people.
The character of the disturbances is
unprecedented. The whole affair is
conflict between the respectable Jewish
socialist classes and the disreputable
Jewish element
There are conflicting stories as to
the origin of the trouble. One report
is to the effect that the respectable
Jews, tired of hearing the members of
their race called keepers of disorderly
houses, thieves and usurers, resolved,
as the police were receiving bribes for
protecting disreputable houses and
persons, to take the matter into their
Cwn hands. Another report has it that
Jewish rOughs were levying blackmail
upon shopkeepers, thus enraging the
socialists In any case the socialists
seemingly determined on a crusade
against the undesirable persons of
their own race, with the result that
crowds of men and boys are sys-
tematically running the disreputable
houses.
Extraordinary scenes were wit
messed late last night when the crowds
visited the better section of the city
and demolished apartments filled with
costly effects. Wardrobes, pianos and
mirrors We're thrown out of windows.
The mob in the streets left open
spaces for the falling articles and then
completed the work of destruction. In
one place a quantity of valuable jew
elry was taken out and smashed with
stones

4 Firm of Boston Bankers Files a Pc
tition in Bankruptcy.

Boston, May 2G-Seventy- one banks
and trust companies, most of them in
Massachusetts, but several located in
other parts Of the country, are among
the creditors of the banking firm of
Burnett, Cummings & Co., of AZ Mix
Gtreet, this city, which yesterday filed
a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in
the United States district court with
liabilities placed at $1,714,3GS. The
assets are stated to be uncertain. The
creditors have been given TO under
stand that they will not exceed $500
600 if indeed, they prove to be of any
value whatsoever. The bankruptcy
petition is the heaviest ever filed in
this district
Attorney ]. r. Auerbach, counsel for
the bankrupt firm, said that the cause
of the failure was the building and
financing of the Concord & Boston
Street Railway Co.. the Middleboro,
Warham & BUzZard's Bay Street Rail
way Co., the Lowell & Boston Street
Railway Co and the Bristol County
Railway Co. These roads were in
thinly settled districts and were un-

ton, both of which, unknown 10 the

and which were placed in the hands

cial embarrassment. The refusal of

sibe.

Massachusetts savings banks in the
list of creditors and 13 Massachusetts

the securities given the banks for
their loans were bonds of the Massa-
Chusetts Securities Co., which in turn
were secured by notes of the bankrupt
electric railways. The largest unse-
cured claim is that of the Worcester
