 Families.
TENANTS RUSH FOR SAFETY

 The building is three story brick structure owned by Samuel Persky and the fire, it is believed. broke out in one of the kitchens on the top floor in the rent occupied by A. Lauh. The Laub family was out st the time the blaze started. and the flames went on without opposition until hole was burned in the floor and the burning brands dropped and set afire the kitchen on the second floor This tenement in which l. Weinstein had pants at the time and this floor had been burned through before the neighhors discovered the fire and the smoke A. Fileberg. who lives on the ground floor. also was out, but the fremen arrived before damage had been done there.
 As soon as the shout of fire rang out there was a great rush from the other tenements to get to the ground and many of the women and children carried out furniture with them. In the rush fortunately no one was in iurer. and the flames did not reach the tenements in which the escaping people lived.
 John Sweeney, one of the firemen \ of the Howard avenue company. led a squad of men to the top floor the raub tenement to rescue anything of value should there he danger of the whole floor falling through. The beds were stripped of their clothing. and carefully hidden under one of them. Mir. Sweeney found pocket hook containing over sl50. The moncS was turned over to Chief Fan cher and later claimed.
 The companies remained at the huilding until nearly , o'clock when +ba smoke had entirely disappeared The water used did as much damage as tbe fire and the total loss will pro- bably reach S1,eoo.

CAUGHT AFTER BIG CHASE

While l. Goldstein, jr,, jeweler of iis last customer just before closing time last evening he heard a sound of break ing glass and upon immediate nvesti- gation discovered that the side of his front show window had been broken by huge stone and that a tray In the center of the window containing the costlest display of jewels in the win dow had been stolen The tray contain cd nine diamonds all of large size and set in gold mountiugs which are valued by the owner at s2.000 Goldstein im- mediately ran out in pursuit of the man preceded by a boy employed in the store, who stated that he saw d man run up the street with the tray in one hand and a revolver in the other. Chase was at once started and Gold stein accompanied by A. Midas, dry goods man whose shop Is near the jew elry store and a large throng set out in pursuit,
 The thief headed out of Congress avenue as quickly as possible and turn ed into Lafayette street After running some distance down that street he thought to fool the pursuers by dodg- ing into an alleyway between some buildings. The crowd swept by but Midas saw where the man had gone. Thinking, however, that he would come out on Prince street he followed the crowd, first telling Patrolman Cassidy of the Howard avenue station that the man had gone into the alleyway. The man 1t seems went into the house and was captured there by the officer, who followed him into the alley.
 Meanwhile the telephone message was sent to the detective headouarters from the store and Sergeant Dennehy, the | only man who was in the office, has tened out At once, With Cassidy he brought the man to the Central sta ton, where he was examined and held to await trial
 All of the diamonds with the excep- ! ton of one were recovered when the man was captured That one which could not be found after 1lieent searcf Is the largest single one in the collec- tion weighing a carat and quarter II is valued by Mir. Goldstein at s1ss.
 The thief gave his name as Warrer W. Wilcox and claims that he came tt this city a couple of days ago from Springfield, Mass. He is unknown here He is a man about B years of age. H. did not try to deny his connection witf | the case at all
 The act was committed just before ] o'clock last evening When the crash O the window was heard Goldstein's littl' daughter called his attention to tn, fact that the window was broken ant that she had seen a hand take out tn tray of diamonds. The window wa broken by means of a large stone whicl made havoc of the glass in the window
 Coming so closely after the Silver thau theft last Saturday evening tn act is considered very daring one.
