crwded almost every window appeal
ing for help, while scores of others,
mostly women and girls, filled the
fire-escapes and were scrambling to
the ground.
When the alarm of fire was first
sounded SO society women, who were
rooms, thought that it was a joke,
and they made no effort to leave. A
moment later, as the room filled with
smoke, there was wild scramble
for the exits. All the women es-
capped with little hurt by using the
Locust Street fire escape.
Jumped to Death.
The third, fourth and fifth floors
were occupied by artists and musi-
clans, and some of the upper rooms
were used as living apartments.
George De Mare, SO years old, art
instructor in the Central High School
and portrait painter, who came
four years ago from Paris, jumped
from his studio window, on the fifth
floor, and was found dead. De Mare
recently was married to a prominent
society woman. She was waiting in
nearby drug store, where her nus
bands dead body was taken, and she
tainted.
Countess Alexandria Blumberg, a
miniature artist, who came to Amer
lea two years ago from Paris, and
who had a studio on the fourth floor,
was overcome by smoke and carried
from her room by fireman, who
started down a ladder with her.
When the two were within 80 feet
of the ground the firemen below in
their excitement turned stream of
water on them, knocking them from
the ladder. Miss Blumberg suffered
fractured skull. Her studio con-
tanned many rare works of art. They
were all destroyed.
Carl Busch, composer and vio-
linist, and his wife, pianist known
in Europe, escaped after exciting ex-
periences. They lost all their must
cal instruments. which included two
stradivarius violins.

Utica Especially Neil Mcdonald,
telegraph operator at Clark's Mills,
a few miles west of here climbed to
the top of one of the towers, carry
ing the 6O,OO0-volt current wires
which will operate the electric cars
on the West Shore between this city
and Syracuse. Mcdonald had his
camera with him, and it is supposed
that he went up the tower to get
a picture of snow scene. His hat
blew of and he reached out for it,
touching one of the wires. He was
killed.

ONE KILLED AND
SIXTY ARE INJURED
c., B. 6 @. Train Is Wrecked Near
Chicago.
SPREADING RAILS PROBABLY CAUSE.
Locomotive Leaves the Rails While
Speeding at 40 Miles an Hour, Drag
ging Crowded Passenger Coach
With It-Everyone in That Coach Was
Injured and Mrs. Miller Was Killed.

Chicago, (SpeciaD One woman
was killed and threescore other per-
sons were injured in a wreck on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail
road at the crossing of that line
with Hamlin Avenue, in the south
western part of the city.
The woman whose life was lost
was Mrs. Mary Miller, widow of
Thomas Miller, formerly freight traf-
nc manager of the Burlington Road.
Mr.. Miller died l 8 months ago.
Fully 40 passengers other than
those mentioned below were injured,
but in so slight a manner that they
did not report their injuries to the
police.
The train was No. ia, which
runs between Aurora. ILL.,, and Chi
cago. 1t consisted of four cars, all
well filled with passenger. The cause
OF the accident is not known, but it
is believed to have been the spread
ing of the rails. although by some
of the passengers it was said that
something was out of order with the
tender of the locomotive.
The train was running at the rate
of 40 miles an hour, when the loco
motive suddenly left the rails, ran
along the roadbed for rs feet and
then rolled down a slight embank-
ment, carrying with it the first pas
senger coach. The other cars left
the rails, but did not go down, as
the engine and first coach had fallen
in such way that they acted as
prop for the cars in the rear. All
the passengers in the first coach
were more or less hurt. Mrs. Mary
Miller, who was killed, was thrown
down between two seats and a mass
of wreckage piled upon her She at
first insisted that she was not badly
hurt, but she died while beng taken
to the hospital.
Mrs. Miller was accompanied by
Morton and Misses Elizabeth and
Sarah Miller. Mrs. Morton escaped
with slight injuries, but both of the
Misses Miller were badly bruised and
each sustained fractured leg.
Immediately after the accident the
wreckage of the forward car burst
into flames, but they were promptly
extinquished by the members of a
nearby company of the fire depart
ment.
Engineer Newlands, of the wreck
ed train, who was badly scalded and
was severely cut about the head, re-
manned about the train assisting in
the rescue work until all of the pas
sengers had been taken away. He
declared that he was absolutely in
the dark as to the cause of the dis

BROKERS FIGHT TO BUY WHEAT
Over a Dollar Bushel and Still Rising
---Deluge Of Buying Orders.

body offering to sell. The trade was
too big and too broad to be followed
with any certainty and brokers hlled
orders frequently several cents away
from the point at which they had
hoped to buy. The confusion was so
great that for a few minutes but lit
tie actual business was transacted,
the brokers fighting and struggling in
efforts to get hold of wheat from
anybody or at any price.
AS soon as figures could be regis
tered in the confusion the July OPP
ton sold anywhere between SO and
"a cents, which was Ia to 2ss
cents higher than the close of Sat
urday. September opened at So to
80 cents, which was up l ss to %
cents above the closing prices of last
week. December showed a wider
range than either of the other OPP
lions as the opening quotations for
December ran at all figures between
.961s cents and $1.03, prices which
were u to cents above the final
quotations of Saturday. The rush
of buying orders seemed to come
from almost every town in the United
States which was situated along a
telegraph wire. They came from
Winnipeg and from Louisiana, and
from points on the Pacific and Allan
tic seaboard.

Chicago Especially In the most
sensational opening in the history OF
the Chicago Board of Trade wheat
Monday shot past the dollar marx.
Heavy realizing sales pushed the
price backward somewhat, but at the
close the market was strong, and,
according to the majority of specula-
tors on the board, the demand upon
which the late advance has been
made is still unsatisfied. The net
advance Monday for wheat was 4
cents for the July and September OPP
lions and 41s cents for the Decem-
Der option. From the low point OF
Monday of last week July wheat has
advanced 1874. September has gone
up 15%. In the December option
the high point Monday was 16%
above the low price of last Monday.
It was certainty that a strong
bulge would take place in the wheat
market at the opening. Country orders
had poured in, seemingly, in an end
less stream and in obedience to them
brokers stood ready to buy millions
of bushels at the market prices.
Shorts were in highly nervous con-
dition and were ready to cover. The
result was that as soon as the gong
sounded there was terrific roar OF
voices, all anxious to buy, and no
