DISASTROUS BLAZE STARTED BY
INCENDIARIES.
MANY PERISH IN THEIR REDS
Obstructions On the Fire Eecapes
Contributed to the Death of
Others a Number Jump
to Safety.
Eleven persons killed, more than a
dozen Injured, and thirty more es
caped death by tho narrowest margin.
In an IncldlHry lire which wrecked tho
tenement house at 71 Vi Mulborry
street, New York, early Monday.
That a deliberate attempt was made
to destroy the house and Its contents
as well, the police and firemen do
not doubt. Three barrells stuffed with
rubbish soaked with oil were blazing
fircely In the lower hall, cutting off
escape of the fifty or moro persons
who were sleeping on the upper floors.
Some of these died In their beds, over
come by smoke and then caught by tho
flames. Others who had been aroused
too late, fell unconscious before they
could reach a window and were burned
to death scarcely an arm's length from
safety. Many were Injured by jump
ing from upper story windows to tho
street, or by being crushed nB they
fought for positions of safety on the
"choked fire escapes.
The dead:
MINEC1HLLO FURICLLO. his wife,
ANTOINELLA, and their THREE

VITA BARGONE.
PIETRO MAOLIACCI.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN.
Several of the Injured, who wero
taken to hospitals are In a critical con
dition. That so ninny persons were killed
and seriously injured was In part dua
to the carelessness ot the tenants or
the house themselves and their disre
gard for the rule that lire escapes must
be kept clear o obstructions nt""nll
times. When tho frightened men mid
women rushed from their rooms ahead
or the flnmes, they round the wells
or tho fire escape platrorms covered
with boards which could not quickly
be removed. Excited mothers and
rnthers with children in their arms
and the smoke pouring out or tho win
dows behind them and the cracking of
the flames In their ears became panic
stricken and tossed their children to
trlends in tho street. Fully a dozen
children wore tossed Trom the second
and third Hoor3 and woro caught by
men standing In the street. The men
nnd women wero later carried down
by firemen on ladders.
EFFORT MADE TO SMUGGLE.
Disaster Overtakes a Widespread Con
spiracy. Disaster has overtaken what the
Now York customs officers bellevo to
be one of the biggest glove smuggling
schemes that ever has been attempted
to beat Uncle Sam out or duty. Sever
al arrests have already been made, and
nbout $5,000 or smuggled goods seized.
The majority or the prisoners aro Ital
ians and in every instance tm port or
departure ror the goods seized has
been on the Meddltteraneau. The selz
ures were made both In New York
city and Brooklyn. A distinct con
nection has, the officers say, been
found among all these cases, so that
already the evidence points to a wide
spioad "conspiracy In gloves."
Women Kept Off the List.
The first attempt by the Now Yorlc
suffragettes to havo their names
placed on the voting list ol this city
suffered defeat Monday, when fourteen
women visited tho registration booths
and tried vainly to Induce the registry
clerks to record their names. No dis
order accompanied tho attempt and
the women were followed on their way
rrom their headquarters to tho regis
tration booths by many photographers
and an Increasing number of curious
persons. M'rs. Julia iSeaton Sears,
president of the Now Thought church
nnd school, bonded the llttlo squad of
women.
