BURNED
 TO DEATH.
Sailor Boarding
 House the Scene.
Two Men Cremated in Bed and a Third Dies in the Hospital While Many Others Were Injured.

New York, Sept 3O.-Two men were burned to death as they slept, a third was so badly burned that he died in a hospital, another is in dangerous condition, and several others suffered serious but probably not fatal injuries in q fire in two story saloon, restau, rant and lodging house at 221 West street. The two men who lost their lives occupied room 13 ill the rear of the building. They were overcome by smoke and burned to death in their bed. All the occupants of the house were sailors and longshoremen except one woman, the housekeeper. Those who suffered death and injury were suffocated and burned within few minutes, the fire being extinguished be- fore the damage had exceeded $3,OOO.
 The dead are:
 John McMahon, 30 years old, long shoreman, burned.
 Robert Vaughn, S2, longsoreman, burned.
 William McClelland, 32, sailor, es- capped from room with clothes on fire, died in hospital.
 The injured are:
 Patrick Dowd, 30 years old, long, shoreman, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., seriously burned; in Hudson street Nos pital, in dangerous condition.
 Hans Stevenson, 63, sailor, burns and cuts, will recover.
 David Dirk, 3S, sailor, burns.
 Mrs Mary Kinsky, 40, housekeeper, contusions in falling from window.
 The fire is believed to have reslAted from the carelessness of a drunken sailor who is known to have entered the stairway to the upper floor early this morning. Some of those who es- capped from the burning building say they heard this man moving uncertain- ly about the entrance to the lodging house, and also heard him strike sev- eral matches as If to find his way. The lodgers remember nothing more until they woke to find their rooms filled with smoke.
 There were twenty-one men in the lodging house last night. The first known of the fire outside was when McClelland, his clothes on fire, dashed down stairs from the lodging house and ran into the saloon. John Kelly a bartender, who was working around the place, threw his apron around the flaming man and finally succeeded in smothering the flames. McClelland's condition was such, however, that he ebecame unconscious soon after, and he died within an hour.
 McClelland was the only lodger tC get to the street by the stairs. The others, as they awoke in the stifling smoke, found the stairs blocked by flames. Some of them succeeded in reaching windows from which they were rescued by firemen, while others made their way to the roof of the build ing through the skylight only to find the burning building separated from those adjoining by chasms dozen feet in width on both sides. None of them dared attempt leap which might have landed them in safety on another roof or sent them crashing to death on the stone pavement below. They were surrounded by flames and the roof upon which they stood was scorch' ing their bare feet when their pligh, was. called to the attention of the fire. men and they were rescued.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
Town of Prospect Has Numerous
 Sites for lit.

The people of Prospect are at odds over site for the soldiers monument for which the last legislature made an appropriation of few thousand dol lars. The people had hard work ill getting the appropriation made, but 1t seems they will have a harder job in deciding where the monument shall be. The legislative committee did not think well of the proposition for an appropriation for the little town of Prospect. It seemed such an insignif- cant little place that the resolution for the appropriation was given scarcely any discussion and the report was to be unfavorable. But the member from Prospect reminded the gentlemen of the committee that more men went to the civil war from that place than from any other town of it's size in the state. That settled it and the appro- priatiOn was made. Now so many sites have been selected for the monu- ment that it will be a difficult matter to make choice.
