A GOTHAM TRAGEDY
Poor Woman Sleeps, Dress lsnites,

Them 5ack-Dead Mother Was De-
sorted Wife.

New York. Dec. 31.-From a shabby
little fiat on Second avenue, today
was held the funeral Of a woman who
gave her life to save her two little
children.
None Of the neighbors knew much
about Mrs. Mary Nautsch. except that
her husband never supported her and
she worked is hours a day in a
laundry to care for her two little
children, aged 6 and 3. The other
fright after returning from her work
she sat down by the fire and dropped
asleep while waiting for the two lit
tie girls to return from a Sunday
school Christmas tree.
When they entered she jumped up
suddenly and her skirt caught fire.
The children ran to her, but she res
olutely pushed them out into the hall
and locked the door, that their
clothes might not catch fire. BY this
time Mrs. Nautsch's thin clothes
were q mass Of flames, and neighbors
who rushed in and extinguished the
blaze found her unconscious. She
died at q hospital. Neighbors are car
ing for the little girls. who will be
turned over to an institution.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 31.-The. court
martial Of Lieutenant General Stoes-
sci for the surrender 81 Port Arthur
to the Japanese entered its final stage
today.
The court heard evidence upon the
council Of war Of December 70. when
the members Of the council refused
to entertain the suggestion Of sur
render. Ss
The prosecution introduced the este
mate Of General Smyrnoh that the
resistance could have been prolonged
for six weeks more. Several witnesses
testified to the indignation with which
the proposal to capitulate was e
ceived by the council Of war, Dyt
certain officers from the firing limo
gave contradictory evidence and init
mated that the ! boldest counsels
against surrendering were given BY
those who were stationed furthest
from the enemy.
The troops were dispirited and sicE.
almost to a man with scurvy, It WAS
declared, and if the capitulation had
been delayed the fortress would have
fallen before the first vigorous attack
by the Japanese.

Rome, Dec. 31.-The Temple o

exchange. was the scene this after
noon Of q terrific explosion which
caused8a sensation almost as great o.
the explosion Of a bomb In st. Peters
burg On November Is, 1906.
The conclusion was SO great that
many persons through the city were
terrified, and great crowds rushed te
the scene. Within the building were
many people, but fortunately q great
majority Of the brokers had left. Nc
one was killed, but 90 persons, chiefly
clerks, were injured.
The detonation was terrific, and
when the roof fell clouds Of dust were
thrown high in the air. Police, fire.
men and troops hurried to the scene
and had difficulty in quelling the ex'
element.
Later, when another explosion was
feared, the crowd again became panic
stricken and many persons received
minor injuries in the crush. Most
Of those who were taken from the
ruins had received injuries about the
head and upper part Of the body
So far as known none Of the injured
will die.
Soon there was a procession Of in
jured in open cabs and ambulances
to the hospitals, t%raversing the
crowded thoroughfares amid pitiful
scenes.
The explosion resulted In the col
lapse Of the roof Of the exchange, AMI
a number Of the injured were caught
in the wreckage, but later were re.
leased by f1remen.
The Cause.
Although first Impressions were that
the explosion was caused by a bomb
thrown by some one who wished
either to prevent the end Of the month
liquidation or take advantage Of the
confusion to commit a theft, it was
later believed to be caused from gas,
as no signs Of a bomb could be
found. Within half an hour Of the OK.
plosion hundreds Of brokers were
gathered within the exchange, when
money and securities to the amount
Of several million dollars changed
hands.
