'A New York Deathtrap.
Nnw Youic , August 8. Fifteen people were
burned to death in the six story brick buildIng -
Ing , No. 19" Bowery , this afternoon. Six
moro were burned so badly that they will
probably die. The house was a ramshackle
affair , hidden In the middle of the block , the
only entrance to It bolng a narrow alleyway
from the Bowery. In front of It was a four
rtory building , on the first floor of which was
a saloon. Adjoining this is Harry Miner's
People's theatre. In the rear of.tho building
were two houses , hemming it in on the Chris
tie street side. In this caged-tn building
lived about one hundred and fifty people.
Each of the six floors was occupied by a sin
gle family , the head of which was a tailor ,
who made clothing and employed from fifteen
to twenty men , women and children , In addi
tion to his own family. They were all Polish-
Jews , ana cmp'oyo ' and employed ate and
slept In the crowded rooms of the dingy ten
ement. The tenants who rented apartments
If were : S. Coon , S. Graft , Klein & Marie and
Hairls and Lavin.
About 4 o'clock this afternoon , while all
the occupants of the building wcro busily at
work , flames broke out on the lower floor.
The lire had. when discovered , already
gained such headway that it was In full
possession of the stairway und escape by it
seemed Impossible. The police reserve was
called out and In short order 100 blue coats
in charge of Inspector Williams , were on
hand. Alarm after alarm was sent out after
ambulances , and in a very little while sur
geons came up from the St. Vincent , Ciiam
bers street , Bellevue and New York hos
pitals , while thu DcpartnientotCliarltics and
Corrections sent two of their ambulances.
Their services wcro badly needed. Many of
the frightened inmates rushed down through
the flumes and escaped to the narrow court
yard with clothes ablaze and hands and
to.lles burned. Six of them were so badly
burned that they were taken to the hospital
und may die. There were lire
escapes on the front and rear of the
house , iioipcndlcuhir Iron ladders running
down the front and rear of the building , but
before any of the inmates had tried lo es-
cnpo by them the flames had ascended
through the house and wcro reaching from
the windows , so that descent by the lire
escapes was Impossible.
One man , half burned to death , leaped
from a fifth story window and fell a mangled
muss of flesh In tholittlo court yard. Other ;
jumped from the second story windows anil
escaped with bruises. The enormous crowds
that had gathcrc d shrank with dread am
sympathy us some of the wounded xhriokci !
nnd others groaned with pain. One pool
woman lay on her buck in a little store in
the bowery with not only her clothing but
her hair burned off. It soeincil as if she
must be dead , but a slight upheaval of the
bosom showed that a little life still re
innlticu. Shu was unconscious , and a sur
gcon said that she would not live to
reach the hospital. Another young girl was
delirious with pain. She was not so budlj
burned as the others , but In amadjumi
from ono of thu windows she had receivci
internal Injuries and also cut a terrible gasl
In the sliio of her head , from which bloci
gushed forth , giving her a ghastly app 'ur
ar.cc. She raved ami screamed and had to hi
held by two attendants while her wound :
were being dressed.
The spectacle , as the various ambulance :
received their human freight and drovi
rapidly away , was a sad one , and naturally
enough attracted an enormous crowd , which
kept the police busy.
A. H. Sheldon , manager of the People's
theatre , on discovering the fire , sent out an
alurm , and the firemen icsponded , but when
they arrived the flames already had complete
pns cttBlim of the house , and nothing would
bo done to save It nnd but little to save Its
inmates. Charles W. Norman , propertymnn'
of the People's theatre , with sevenil of ills
comrades , ran to the roof of the theatre ,
carrying a small ladder , which they
stretched over to the windows of tlio
burning building. A woman with her
hair and clothing ablaze was at a window ,
and Norman called to her to cross over on
the ladder.She cried back that she could
not leavohor two children. Norman tried to
eioss over on the ladder , but the flames
drove him back and ho could not save .her.
Afterwards the charred bodies of mother
and two children were found in the building.
Thrco men , however , availed themselves of
the ladder nnd escaped to the roof of the
theater.
Whoa the firemen had at last drowned the
( laineH so that they could enter the house
they searched floor OY floor as they ascended ,
nnd on the third floor they found the burned
V bodies of a man , woman and boy. On the
* fourth floor they found live bodies so badly
burned that It was impossible to tell whether
they were those of men or womqn. On the
fifth floor no bodies were found , but on the
sixth flvo moro wcro found , and they
were also burned so that it could
not bo told whether they were
men or women. This made thirteen bodies
found In the building. That of the man who
leaped from the fifth story window increased
thu dcatl. list to fifteen , while it Is feared
that the death of soinu If not all those in tlio
hospital , will miiko this number gi eater.
Several of the bodies were burned so badly
0 that they fell npurt when removed , and the
k ilreinoii wire obliged to lower them from tlio
1 windows In nets. The list of dead as fur as
f known , Is as follows :
Philip Toloplo , florty-two years old , who
jumped from the fifth floor.
Mrs. Adelhi Gruft and her two children > ,
Joseph , seven years old. and Col la , four
ycius old. Thu mother is tno woman who
rofiiHcd to escape because xho would not
desert her children. Her husband escaped
with an infant child In his arms and was al 1-
most crazy witlt grief at the loss of his wlfo
nnd two other children.
Tno other bodies uro at the morgue await
ing Identification.
Tlio lira started on the first floor in the
ninirUnentH of ICmma Stevens , janltrexs o (
the building , at'd was canned by the ex
plosion of a kerosene oil stove. The bin net : ]
building belonged to Abraham Sternia. The
damage to the buildlncr Is about $8,000
covered by insurance. The loss on the stock
of clothing in the various apartments is esti ,
mated at 15,000. , It Is believed that it was
not Insured. The house In the rear of the
death trap was badly burned , and the Pee
plo's tlit'iUvr was slightly riainagoij by flrt
mill water.

A democratic member who returned from
Now York to-day says President Cleveland
took with him on-hls fishing trip last weyk a
a rough draft of his letter of acceptance and
that it has been In New York several days
for the criticism of party leaders there. It
Is understood that Speaker Carlisle's visit to
New York this week was for the purpose of
meeting some of the prominent democrats of
the country who went over the president's
letter nnd who have submitted suggestions
Intended to improve Its political tone. The
president was asked to-day by the visitor
when ho could Issue his letter to the public
and the chief executive smiled as ho replied :
'Oh , I think that Is a matter of Indifference
to the party and of little consequence to the
country. I do not see any use of hurrying
this hot weather. " It Is believed that the
otter has been delayed for the purpose of
seeing what the senate Is likely to do on
ho tariff question and also to give time for
consulting various prominent democratic
caders.
CHANCES IX THE AllMV.
Army officers are figuring upon the army
changes which will occur during the next

which will go to the next presidential term ,
f ho compulsory act will retire eight general
officers so that , making no allowance for cas-
utility among these olllcers , all of whom are
well advanced In years , the next president
will be called upon to appoint eight brigadier
generals. The vacancies will occur on the
annexed dates by the retirement on account

ISO ) . Should General Drum bo
succeeded by Colonel Kelton , as
ho is likely to be , Kelton being the senior
colonel of hH corps , the retirement of that
ofttcitil on Juno 21 , 1 > 'J'3 , would add another
to thi'i list of brigadiers who will certainly
bo retired during the next presidential term.
Should It come within the province of Mr.
Cleveland to fill these vacancies the commis
sion of every general of the several staff
corps and of every general officer of the line ,
except Sheridan , Scholield anil Miles , would
bear the signature of Grover Cleveland , and
it is not beyond thu range of reasonable
probability that his signature would be borne
by the commission of every general officer of
the army line und staff Including the selec
tion which ho will make during the present
month to fill the vacancy that will occur upon
the retirement of General Balrd , inspector
general , the number of'general olllcers al
ready selected by Mr. Cleveland is twelve.
Three of these arc major generals.

the bill , and are bringing pome very strong
arguments to bear in behalf of their request.
The members of the Iowa delegation are
assisting the North Platte men , but it is evi
dent that they have como too lato. The
senate seems determined to stand by the
position it occupied when it sent the bill to a
conference committee , providing only the

A SENATE KlIKAK.
A strange freak was performed by the senate -
ate to-day ia fixing 11 o'clock in the morning
as the permanent hour for beginning the ses
sion , and then adjourning over one whole
calendar day. There will bo no session ol
either house of congress to-morrow. Mem
hers of both houses have been so cmrrosscil
with tlieir legislative duties for months thai
they are glad to devote a day to tlieir private
affairs. Then the weather is so intenselj
hot In Washington now that nearly every
body is gasping for broath. This is the tlr.st
tune the house has adjourned over a weel
day since last Christmas , excepting ono 01
two legal holidays. PEIIUY S. HEATH.

A Report That She. Intends Soon to
Quit the Htagc.
NEW YOUK , August 8. [ Special Telegram
to Tun HEE. ] Mrs. Langtry will , in all
probability 1 , retire to private llfo after the ful
fillment of the contract already made for her
coining season. She went upon the stage
to make money and has made it. From re
liable I fo.urccs It was learned this morning
that her wealth Is not far from $1,000,000.
Her 1 commission to her Into manager , George
Keog 1t 1 , who is now In Europe to look up
1I nnd buy for her n new play , Is significant , It
Is I said , only in so far as it is an investment.
It ] ! } nd longer a secret that Mrs. Lnngtry
and Mr. Goblmrd are. to ho married in a few
weeks , nor is it u secret that the lady's Rea
son will not begin for over four months.
When she does begin her work It is probable
that she will follow her usual custom of buyIng -
Ing property in every town where she ap
pears that she believes to bo a thriving place.
This is the secret of her accumulation
of wealth. Her real estate Is valued to-day
at J-KH)0 ( ) ( ) and she has -quired It by her
own shrewdness. In Now York she holds
sixty or more first mortgages and she also
has considerable landed interests in Brook
lyn , while in California and northwestern
towns her name appears upon the list of tax
payers to f recholdcr.In l'W5 she bought
ten acres of land In Salt Lake City
Last season she refused 3,000 for the prop
erty. Her purchase of real estate In Cali
fornia last year was , -Sfi.lMX ) acres for
which she paid SSO.OOJ. Lately she refused
? 200,1 OJ for It. These facts , added to those
) f her approaching marriage , the death of
icr father and her desire for quiet and refit
ire cited in support of her statement that ,
having amassed a fortune , Mrs. Lungtry Is
now only waiting for a chance to retire from

LONG AM ) SHOUT HOWIES.
Chicago Complains of n Violation of
the Intor-SOtto haw.
CHICAOO , August U. The Chicago board of
trade has filed with the inter-stato commerce
commission two petitions , one of which is a
complaint against the Hock Island and Baltimore -
moro & Ohio roads , and the other against the
Pennsylvania and Chicago & Northwestern.
The charge In each Is that Chicago has been
discriminated against by thcso roads , inas
much ns their joint through rates from Iowa
and Nebraska points to the seaboard is less
than the sum of local rates. For example :
The rate from Lincoln -Chicago on corn
nnd oats last February was Si cents per hun
dred ; the rate from Chicago to Now York
was 'J7JC cents , while the through rate from
Lincoln to Now York was only iM ) ; ? cents , or
18 cents less than the sum of the two totals.
It is charged that thin is a violation of the
first , second and third sections of the interstate -
state commerce law , and the board of Undo
demands a ruling by the commission.

that they were keeping the people back
