and it is split into ten lots, going to
that ma buyers.
Everyfeature of the deal has been
settled, and thorough understanding
had by all the parties to this big sale,
but no written contracts have been en-
tered into, therefore the officers of the

CLOSED for the pool in every county to
humber of Greensboro buyers. While
fno names of buyers are given OFT it is
Understood that the American To-
Z bacco company, the Imperial Tobacco
Company and the Gallagher are all
heavy buyers.
No information is given out as to the
cause of delay in selling the pool earlier,
but it is said that the hitch was on the
trash price.
The deal cleans up all the pooled to-.
bacco in the Green River district, ex-
cept the holdings of the home ware
house company, as the Equity people
sold their pools two weeks or more ago.
The Warren county pool was sold about
the same time that the Equity pools of

badly Hartford.

GOTHAM TENEMENT BLAZE
Four Little Ones Burned to Death at
Early Hour.
oDoR OF OIL SUGGESTIVE
Despite Fire Escapes at Rear, In
mates Rushed to Front OF
Building.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 10.-One Of the
numerous Black Hand circles, of which
there are so many in this city. each
under it's chief. is believed to have ap-
piled the torch to the old dfashioned four
story tenement at 3d. East 112th street
this morning, where four in family
were burned to death, another member OF
the same family fatally hurt and seven
others burned or hurt in jumping. 1t
was a slaughter of children for not one
among the dead is a grown person.
Police and fire marshal are one In 'he
belief that the latest ''quer" fire In Little
Italy-they have occurred with dlsturolns g
frequency in the last few months, the
worst being at 1O9th street and "a ave-
nue., where thirteen lost their llves-may
be laid at the door of the blackmailers,
although who they were after is a puzzle.
Certainly they were not after the poor
janitor four Of whose little ones suffered
the worst form of death. and whose ohiS
remaining child Is In the hospital
It was little past midnight when a
passing citizen saw glow OF fre IN !he
hall and yelled out the alarm. IN re"
moments, after the custom of Little Italy,
revolvers were cracking out OF the VIII VIII :
dows and bullets singing all about. Inc
fire started at the foot of the stairway
and jumped up.
Odor Of Oil Was Marked.
The first fireman to arrive said that the
odor of oil was marked.
The families In the building were
thrown into the widest confusion. Inere
was ample fire escape protection at the
rear of the tenement, but notwithstanding
this, there. was a rush for the 'front.'
where there were no fire escapes
Vincenzo Suasto. the janitor, got the
members of his family together and trieo
to pilot them out. He managed to gam
the roof with his wife, but the chlldreh
trailing behind were caught by a sudden
gust of smoke and flames. and 1our were
burned to death before the firemen coulo
reach them. Two tenants were badly In
jured by leaping from windows.
Pasquale Cassamosa, twenty-five years
old. fell while lowering himself from the
third floor to shutter on the floor be-
meath. the shutter giving away. He
turned over two or three times before he
hit the sidewalk. Several ran up 10 MN
expecting to find him with a fractured
skull. AS they reached him he sprang
up with alacricity. and, TO the astonish-
ment of all, ran away seemingly more
embarrassed by the attention he had at
tracted than hurt. His only thought
was to seek some refuge where he could
sleep.

Commissioners Must Siqn Ger
tificate for ST., 500, 900.
COURT ISSUES MANDAMUS
Not Acting in Judicial Capacity, But
as Minister of Law.
PROVISIONS COMPLIED WITH
Station and Connecting Lines Ready
for Occupancy, Judge Barnard
Decides, and Money Due.

Justice Barnard of the District Su-
preme Court today. decided that the Dis
trict Commissioners must sign the GER
ti1cate authorizing the payment by the
Secretary of the Treasury to the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington Rail-
road Company of $1JO0. coo toward the
cost of the Union station.
The court directed that writ of man
damus be issued compelling the Com
miSSionerS to sign the certificate.
The railroad company requested the
certificate some weeks ago, but was ad-
vised by the Commissioners that they
would decline to issue the certificate un-
til the substation in South Washington
had been completed and the superstruc-
ture of the New Jersey Avenue bridge
placed in position. The company brought
proceedings in mandamus. and a hearing
was held last Thursday
Court Reviews Arguments.
Justice Barnard in his opinion reviews
the claims of the Commissioners and the
argument of Corporation Counsel Thomas.
in which it was urged that the necessary
work named by Congress as condition
precedent to the issue Of the certificate
had not been completed: that the Com
missioners had been given judicial power
by the act. and having exercised that
power could not be reviewed. and the
claim that the railroad company might
sue in the Court of Claims to enforce
the payment
Taking up the last claim first, the court
says it would be imposing a burden on
the company not contemplated by Con-
gress to require recourse to that court.
when the money is already appropriated
and the payment is withheld merely for
lack Of certificate.
The court makes short work of the
claim of the Commissioners that they had
judicial power in the premises and exer-
cised discretion. He says:
"The only question arising on the record
is whether the station and connecting
lines are ready for occupancy. They are
ready or they are not. If ready, then the
Commissioners would have no right to
withhold the certificate. for no d.scre-
ton seems to be vested in them, but they
are simply charged with doing minis
terial act. signing a certificate as to a
certain fact.
"Duty to Sign"
1.-The fact being established or con-
ceded. the duty to sign arises at once
The court then adopts the argument of
Attorneys McKenney and Flannery that
all the work required by the act to be
done has been completed and that the
words, connecting lines" used in the
statute cannot be stretched to cover the
lines complained of by the Commission
ers and the removal of which they sug-
gested should be assured before the GER
tihcate was used
Justice Barnard concludes his opinion:
I'm my judgment the Commissioners
are not justified in longer refusing to
sign the certificate asked for And l am
therefore disposed to order the peremptory
writ of mandamus to be issued, as PRAYED
in the petition"
