M|NORCA HEN
 MADE LONG TRIP iFound in a Box Car Loaded With Brooms That Ar
 rived Saturday
NOW WHO OWNS FOWL?
Question Undecided-Pail it's Fare With Two Big White Eggs
 In Good HealtE.

When warehouse attaches at the wholesale house of the Gillespie and Brother Grocery Company in this city, were unloading a car of brooms yesterday afternoon they found fine black Minorca hen wedged in among the large packages of brooms. The hen was peacefully resting upon two beautifully white eggs, which were evidently deposited by her in the car while in transit from Louisville, Ky.
 According to the bill of lading the car left Louisville four days ago and reached this city yesterday morning. The shipment of brooms WIS one of the largest received here for some months, but the management of the wholesale house did not expect to find barnyard beauty among them.
 As soon as the hen was found 1t was taken from the car and was apparent ly suffering no ill effects from it's im- prisonment It was seen, however, that the fowl needed food and water and it was supplied with both. Off, cials at the wholesale house are argu- ing among themselves as to the own- ership of the blooded bird. They Lad not settled the matter last night. They were not inclined to ,et the mat ter get out for fear that the railroad company might claim it Some said that if demand was made by the railroad company for the hen, the two eggs would probably pay the fare tin full from Louisville, thus setting the first problem. As far as co.ll1 be ascertained yesterday there is no rub, ing by the Interstate Commerce Cont mission on covering the right of hen to travel interstate and they do not fear any trouble along this fine.
 R. Finley, secretary and treasurer of the company, asserts that the hen is his because he formerly had great grandfather who lived in Kentucky. V. o. Alexander is just as ccnfident that the hen is his property because he travelled through Kentckv once on bis way East. Charles Chestnut has claim but he will not make it public until he consults with members of the Pine Bluff Hustlers. For the present the hen Is making it's home, with it's two eggs, in a box in the office of the company

 Croker was not slow to fix the blame. He looked at the heaps of bodies about where he stood and de- clared that the lack of outside fire escapes were responsible for the calamity.
 Were Ready For Homes
 The three floors given cve' to this company teemed with women and men busy at their machines and benches. The closing hour wes 5 o'clock and many of the employees had left their work and were preparing to go home, when, as the hands of the clock pointed at two minutes to 5 there was whiff of smoke from the eighth floor. A rumsiing sound and a flash of flame.
 Shrill screams sounded the alarm and panic. blind and dread seized tie Hundreds of men snd women who be- gan the despairing struggle for life. One steep and narrow fire escape loose on it's fastenings and terminal ing far above the ground, trailed a shaky way down the rear of the building into the blind court, that proved to be a pi' of death. One person at a time could tread it's blinding way and many who rushed for this slender dread of promised escape were dashed head1ong to the court below by those who followed In the wild stampeded.
 The flames after the first flash be. gan to climb and swept thei way up- wards with amazing rapidity. Driven like cattle before this storm of flames and smoke, the women and girls sought the windows and wi+hin three minutes after the alarm had been giv- en, the trapped and frenzied women began to leap from the windows.
 From below it could be seen that the women were beaten out by the flames and now and then caught in their dresses
 Trapped Like Rats.
 Inside the building the two passen- ger and two freight elevators were kept running and the one fire es- capped swarmed with human beings. Women and men were dropping CT being pushed from it to the concrete surface of the areaway, some of them to rise and disappear, and others to remain huddled up silent or groaning.
 All this had happened in such a small space of time that the first fire wagon had not reached the scene. A hose wagon rolled up and the fire men snatched their life net and many men in the gathering crowd surround ed it. As 500 mas it was spread, lHcf0- was d Oly u " ai iiAnS II 0A-A those looking up and group of wo- men, estimated at more than a score, jumped almost together for tn. net. The only avenue of escape

down the shaft clogging it up. It is estimated six hundred escaped by the elevator. When the deb.is was cleared away the 5, most grewsome sight was held up. Not spark of life was left in any of the mangled, mained and drenched figures.
 Ambularces came from every local hospital, but the doctors had little to do as life was gone from most of the victims before they took the fatal leap to death. The patrol wagons brought 75 collins from the norgue. They were filled, numbered and sent away to the charities pier at the foot of East Twenty-sixth street, twelve cof- fins in each patrol wagon. At the pier the bodies were taken out of the collins, laid in row on the floor and covered with a white shroud, to hide if possible the marks of their sufferings The wagons were sent back with the empty cof- fins and came back again with them filled.
 Everybody was searched for effects or jewelry that gave any clue to identification and these effects were placed in an envelope bearing the same number as that given the body when it was placed in Il coffin at the scene of the fire. The same system of Identification was employed after the Slocum disaster, the only great moa- ern tragedy in New York comparable with the murderous fire of today. Rel atives and friends were directed to go to the pier by the police all ever the city and the first arrivals storm ed the doors of the pier Thousands waited there at midnight and the crowd will probably remain all night.
 Two Hundred Dead.
 Coroner Holtzhauser believes that the final roster will total between :0o and 25o, but the police estimate is 175.
 The property loss is variously es- timated at from $10o,000 to $20o,oO0, including the damage to the New York University Building.
 The cause of the fire mas no, yet been discovered and even Fire Chief Croker would not advance theory of it's origin at midnight The pro- prietors of the Triangle company and some Of the survivors declares that there was no explosion. They fail to advance any other explanation for the rapid spread of the flames One of the theories is that Quantity Of gasoline was stored On the eighth floor to supply fuel for motor, which supplied power to the factory
 District Attorney Whitman was al early arrival at the scene. He de- clared that he would conduct an IT, vestigation and if any violations Of the law were shown he would prose- cute the person responsible for the fearful loss of life.
