MONDAY FIRE BRINGS MAYOR.
His Luncheon Interrupted by Blaze In
Chambers Street.

The Record Cafe, on the ground hoor
Of the five story bro wnstone fronted old
building at 10 and 10 Chambers street,
q few doors east OF Centre, was thronged
with folks from nearby Offices and city
departments at midday yesterday when
there was a clatter Of feet on the stairs
to the west and shouts Of fire in the street.
Presently glass began to shower from a
score of windows and smoke poured into
the cafe, under and over the swinging
doors. The crowd streamed into the street.
MANY did not nave a chance TO paw and
the cashier had only time enough to collect
the days receipts and skiddoo before flame
was in the cafe itself,
The blaze started in a room on the first
floor, out Of which typographical Union
No. 0 was moving it's belongings to other
quarters. All the rest Of the rooms in
the building were unocclpied, Several
men who were helping the union ran dow n
into the street with the fire literally at
their heels.
S.The union room was connected with
Others in the building next door, at
Centre and Chambers, and the fire roared
through the p1ssageway. The upper
part OF this building was soon burning.

street. Fnelling stopped TO save some o.
his property and when he sta rted down he
found his way blocked by smoke and fire.
He had to be rescued by the f1renen, while
the crowd cheered
The Mayor, who had been lunching
with his secretary, Frank O'Brien, in the
Hardware Club, saw the great smudge on
the sky, apparently just back of the City
Hall. and he went over to see what was bum
ing, arriving Just after the rescue of Fuel
ling. Then nearly every one Of the many
windows in the building was belching Are.
Thirteen engines and a water tower and
100 police reserves were called out. Every
floor in the building and the upper floors
of the place next door on the corner were
Quilted. The whole block is to be used for
bridge terminal urposes and that is why
everybody had moved out of the stone
front building.

THE TNTERBOROUGH EXPLAINS
The Things That Bothered Metz in Its
Reports OF subway Earnings.

The apparent discrepancies between the
figures presented to the State Railroad
Commission and Comptroller Metz by the
marlborough company of the earnings
and expenses Of the company were eX-
planned Yesterday by officials Of the COM
pauy.
1t was stated that while the report sent
to Mr.. Metz covered only the original sub
way the return made to the State board
included also the Brooklyn extension.
F.. +. j. Gaynor, auditor of the marlborough
company, aft err a conference yesterday
with August Belmont, gave out q state
ment in which he said;
The so-called discrepancies are merely
discrepancies in conclusions drawn by per-
sons who have gone over the reports without
full knowledge of the facts. The report 10

mrs. DU MONT WIRES HUSBAND
SEE TOOK POISON IN MISTAKE
FOR HEADACHE TABLETS.

Hes q Commission Broker and ID Running
Branch Onloe in New Orleans-She
CAme North TO Wedding-Devoted Pair,
Friends Say--SuCido Theory Secuted.
Mrs.. Ivon du Mont who was removed
from her apartments In the Hotel Belle
claire TO Roosevelt Hospital Thursday
afternoon, after she had taken two tablets
of corrosive sublimate. apparently by
accident, was much improved yesterday.
She will probably DO able to go to court
to-day or tomorrow. 1t was learned that
she il the wife OF Edgar r. du Mont, a COM
mission broker at $50 Broadway, who is
rust now running O branch Office In New
Orleans.
Charles b., Taylor, business partner OF
Mr.. du Mont; went to the hospital yester-
day to see her when he read certain news
paper accounts Of the case. He suspected
that her husband might be worried on
account OF despa tches to New Orleans, and
advised her to send him word. Mrs. du
Mont then sent this MESA ge:
DO not worry about newspaper accounts.
Took poison by mistake. but will be we'll
enough 10 leave for home tomorrow.
IvoS.
Nib. uu MOHlt Olu vi ldDIoi thoS SIV
believed she was taking headache powders,
and said that az soon as she learned her
mistake she notified the hotel office.
Il am sure that this was no attempt at
suicide said Mr.. Taylor. MIR, and Mrs.
du Mont we're as happy a couple as you
ever saw. They ived at l78 West Eighty
first street until February, when the lease
of their house expired. AS Mr.. du Mont
had decided to open a branch office in New
Orleans, they went to the Belleclaire until
he could find a house in New Orleans. Mrs.
du Mont went South when her husband was
ready, and came back a week ago to attend
the wedding of a cousin.
Mrs. du Mont is az exceedingly attrao-
tive, vivacious and talented woman, who
had many admirers, but she was devoted
to her husband and both were wrapped
up in a little daughter. The insinuations
that nave been made against Mrs. du Mont
are very unjust"
One Of the friends of the Du Monts, who
hurried to the hospital as soon as he learned
that Mrs. du Mont was there, was James
Shewan, Jr. of James Shewan il Sons,
street. He ives at 800 West Ninetieth
street. Mr.. Shewan was fighting mad
last night over stories which had been
published. He declared that he was a
good friend of both the Du Monts, who had
frequently been his guests at dinner and
at the theatre. The hotel people say he
called on Mrs. du Mont several times in the
past week and sent up his card, as did many
other friends.
An effort will be made by Mr.. Taylor
to-day TO have the charge OF attempted
suicide against Mrs. du Mont dismissed
without the necessity Of her going to court.
She did not know last night that the police
man who stood outside her ward was watch
ing her.
Mrs. du Mont is n native of Norwalk,
Ohio, and her maiden name was Garner.
Her first HUSBAND was u alter II. Griffin, q
Cleveland newspaper man, from whom she
was divorced in 1898.
