block on Main street was totally de-
stroyed by fire late today with loss
that will approximate $4,000 Sparks
from the bonfire ignited a stoop in the
rear of the block. the fire communi-
eating to a two-story brick addition
and from that to the main building
which was three stories high, also of
brick. Owing to a high wind the local
firemen were unable to do other than
confne the fire to the one building
Chief Krug of the Hartford fire de-
partment was sent for and on arriv-
ing in his automobile directed the at
tention of the firemen to saving the
surrounding property.
A tank of gasoline, which had been
removed from the rear of a building
near the fire, fell from the wagon on
which it was being carried and burst,
the gasoline catching fire from the
sparks from the burning block. The
flames from the gasoline ignited the
awnings on the Oxford and Waranoke
hotels, but they were extinguished
without setting fire to the two build
ings.

of six persons was begun today. George
w. Ferguson, chairman of the select
men, talked over the telephone with
Chief Whitney of the state force in
Boston today. and as a result Officer
Thomas E. Bleigh arrived here tonight.
officer Bleigh will conduct a thorough
inquiry into the cause of the fire and
the death Of the victims. He will be
assisted by Mr.. Pope of North Adams,
inspector of buildings for this district
and evidence will be taken in regard
to the fatal doorway in the Clifford
block, where the disastrous explosion
occurred. This doorway which com
municated with the apartments up
stairs, opened inward, and it is al
legged formed a veritable trap, behind
which three women who vainly tried
to open it, lost their lives. The cause
of the explosion which wrecked the
building is still believed to be a barrel
of turpentine which was in the base
ment.
The bodies of two of the six victims
of the fire. Miss Isabel Cook and Miss
Mary F. Sparks, still remain in the
smoking debris of the Clifford build

ABSTRACT OF STATISTICS
OF AMERICAN RAILWAYS
The Panic Of 1907 Resulted in a Loss
of Over $3so,O0o,Ooo.

Chicago, April 12.-An advance abb
stract Of statistics Of American rail-
ways for the year ending June 30.
1908. as complied by the bureau OF
railway news statistics, was made pub
lie here today.
The report says:
Instead OF a decrease of only S264.-
464,941 in gross earnings as the result
of the temporary financial depression
of 1907-0S as set forth In the prelimi-
nary income report of the interstate
commerce commission for the year
ending June 80, 1908, the panic Of 1907
resulted in a loss of over $500. 600 600.
This statement is based on a "a bic
giving the earnings for the twelve
months ending November 80, 1908,
when full effect Of the business de-
preston became evident, with the pre-
ceding twelve. This avoids the error
Of including the fattest months in
railway history In the same year with
the lean months that followed II.
In the same way the loss In net
earnings is shown to have been $780,
540,460 instead Of $111.051 900 as given
In the commissions statement.
The two-cent passenger fare legls-
lation caused a loss Of $4,000, 900 IN
gross earnings, although more passen-
gers were carried. This is accounted
for by a reduction In average receipts
per passenger mile. on "a per cent. Of
the mileage from 2.014 cents In 1907 to
1882 In 1908.
The heavy loss In net earnings Is
partly accounted for by the expendi-
ture OF approximately 49,. 900 600 ne
cessitated by arbitrary innovations in
accounting methods and requirements
in regard to the hours and conditions
Of labor Of certain classes OF en-
ployes"

Widow HystericaI at the Grave.

New York, April 12.-An New York
manifested its grief and respect today
for the memory of Lieut.. Joseph Pc
trosino of the New York police de-
partment, who was assassinated while
engaged in secret service in Italy.
3,70o Policemen in Procession.
East Siders, scores of thousands in
number, lined the streets in that Sec
tion of the city as the funeral cortege
left st. Patrick's cathedral after the
services, while the passage of the pro-
cession uptown, through Fifth avenue,
on the way to the cemetery, was the
occasion for a tremendous outpouring
of citizens. A force of 3.700 policemen
took part in the procession.
No Disturbance.
There was no disturbance of any
kind to mar the exercises, but extra
precautions were nevertheless taken to
insure safety. A squad Of 438 plain
clothes men, wearing varied clothes,
so as not to be detected in the crowd,
was scattered among the throngs that
gathered in Lafayette, Mott and neigh
boring streets through which the pro-
cession passed.
Secret Detectives Disguised.
Even on the roofs of houses over
looking the line of march, detectives
were stationed. 1t was apparent that
the authorities considered the recent
threats serious enough to take extra
ordinary measures. Some of the Sc
cret detectives were dressed as truck
men, others as bootblacks, or as busi-
ness men, or loiterers in the street. but
there was not a space of half a block
left unguarded.
Widow Would Have Thrown Herself
Into the Grave.
Al the grave the widow of Petrosino
gave way to her grief. falling upon the
coffin and weeping aloud. Finally, as
the coffin was being lowered, she be-
came hysterical and would have thrown
herself into the grave had not re-
straining hands held her back.
