Test Legality of Nc CIeI-
Ian'S Title.

Albany, Jan. The first paper served
in Attorney General Jackson today was
an application for re-argument on the
petition of William r. Hearst for leave
to begin quo warranto proceedings to
test the title OF George b. Mcclellan
to the office of mayor OF New York. of
which Mr.. Hearst claims to have been
deprived by fraud and violence in the

Wild Panic Prevailed.

The firemen were handicapped by low
water pressure and were repeatedly driven
back by the flames, which, spreading in
every direction, soon threatened the whole
thickly populated tenement section. Ten
ements on each side of the block were i'm
flames before the occupants were out OF
their homes. The widest confusion fol-
lowed among the hundreds of tenants who
rushed to the streets scantily clad and
the police had the greatest difficulty in
preventing a reckless sacrifice OF life
among those who wished TO return to their
homes for their belongings.
At 2:lo o'clock ten buildings were de-
Stroyed or in flames. They were a stable
block, a silk mandatory and eight ten
ements. At that hour the fire was gain
ing steadily and threatened the whole
block. Tenants within radius of half a
dozen blocks had been ordered out.

Fireman Buried in Ruins.

At go o'clock a dyeing establishment

rescued with difficulty and removed to q

The burning Of the dyeing establishment
was accompanied by explosions of chem
