FIRE IN HOUSE CELLAR.
Loss of 5000 Was Sustained on Beckley
Street Hill.

/ A double tenement house at 100 Beck
Hey street would have been destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon had it not been
for The business-like manner in which
the fremen approached their task when
volumes OF smoke were pouring out of
every aperture in the basement wall.
| Mrs. Minnie Emerson, who owns the
property, seems TO have been the first
to have smelled smoke. Members of s..
Rossazza's family. who live downstairs,
and Thomas Emerson. who lives on the
second floor with his daughter, caught
the same odor not long afterwards, and
il was Mrs. Emerson's son who ran to
box SO and turned in a general alarm.
Ten minutes later the all-out signal
sounded, but damage amounting to $500
had already been done. The property is
insured in the Pape agency.
1t was a basement fire entirely, and
a mysterious one. The fremen and tho
aldermanie fire committee haven't done
with seeking the origin. Two streams
of water were shot into the cellar as
soon as the firemen in the horse drawn
chemical wagon and the hook and lad
der truck arrived at No 100. The auto
fire truck was undergoing repairs when
the alarm came, so the burden of max
ing haste in the direction of the fire fell
to the horses attached to the chemical
combination. They ran as they used to
run in the days before motive power
shortened the distance between the fire
station and objective points. 1t was a
fire for water and the fremen made no
mistake in dumping quantities of water
into the basement. Within a few min
utes the blaze was under control and at
3;55 o'clock, 10 minutes after the alarm
sounded the fire was extinguishcd.
Overlays in the basement were badly
scorchcd in spots and odd miscellany
stored in the cellar were burned. Once
the flames reached the staircase leading
to the first floor, but they went no Ear
ther. Smoke choked the tenements on
both floors and some Of the damaged
reckoned in the $500 loss was due to
smoke. The alarm came a short time
before operations ceased IN the man
ufacturing belt at North Barre and as
the shed whistles, blowing at 4 O'Clock,
found the iremen still on duty, there
was plenty of help before the excite |

The committee felt compelled to pay

This privilege was granted because the

IN STERN PURSUIT.
Allies Try to Turn Retreat Into Com
plete Rout.

London, Sept l5.-Except for the
army which has been attacking Verdun,
the German forces in France have fallen
back all along the line, according to the
French official report issued yesterday
afternoon.
From Nancy TO Vosges they have
withdrawn from French territory, while
on the extreme right, General Won Kluek
and General Won Buelow continue to re-
treat to the northeast before the French
and British, even giving up their defen-
siye position on the river Aisne between
Compiegne and scissors.
Further west, the German detachments
that held Amiens have moved north
eastward to try to rejoin the German
army of the right at st. Quentin It is
possible that all the Germans in north
west France have done likewise; other
wise they would be in danger of being
cut off in the center.
Another defensive position, behind
Rheims. has been given up. and in the
Argonne region a general retreat is tax
ing place toward the forest OF Belniune
and Triaucourt
The allies are pushing their advantage
and doing their utmost to turn the. re-
treat into disaster by a stern pursuit on
perhaps the broadest scale yet known
in war. On the right they are in good
position to continue the offensive, If the
men and horses are not too tired for
further effort They are based on a
strong line running from the Marine to
the fortresses through the hilly country

JEALOUSY PROBABLE MOTIVE.
For Murder of Deborah Clark in Shafts
bury.

Bennington, Sept. l5.--That Mrs.
Deborah Clark, who was found dead
bullet holes in her head and body lying
on blanket in the barn at the home of
Charles c. Gordon in the town of Shafts
bury Sunday afternoon, was the victim
OF jealousy upon the part OF Gordon and
that she was probably killed by him late
Saturday night is the belief of States
Attorney w. j. Meagher.
The states attorney said last evening
that he is thoroughly satisfied that the
woman met her death following a quar-
rel with Gordon who wished TO marry
her. Ii is believed that Gordon killed
the woman about II o'clock and placed
her body on the hay where il was found.
States Attorney Meagher said that
he has no doubt that Gordon killed Mrs
Clark from the letter he lsft for his
mother. before killing himself with a
3S caliber revolver By shooting himself
in the head short distance from his
home Sunday afternoon.
The authorities have learned that
Gordon expected to marry Mrs. Clark, in
fact she had promised to become his
wife. II is believed that Gordon learned
that another man had been paying the
woman attention and that this informa
tion led TO quarrel resulting in the
double tragedy.
|. The states attorney said that he was
satisfied that Mrs Clark did not recipro-
cate the attention paid her by Gordon
though she led the man to believe that
she intended to marry him until recent
ly.
Gordon and Mrs. Clark were seen to-
gether Saturday evening and it il be-
lieved that he charged the woman with
receiving attention from another man
and that during the quarrel shot her.
Though Gordon did not state speei-
ficalIy what he asked forgiveness for in
the letter he left for his mother the
authorities are satisfied that he referred
to the killing of Mrs. Clark and the
taking Of his own life.
The authorities viii not hold any au-
topsy on the bodies OF Gordon and Mrs
Clark and States Attorney Meagher
said that the county officials have fin
ished their investigation of the case.
