Brooklyn, N. Y., March 9.?A fire in this city today, supposed to be the work of ail incendiary, caused the death of three Dersons and iniured an other so badly that it is thought she will die. The dead are Annie Duncan, Charles Goddard, 40 years old, and J on Duncan, 18 months old. The latter was thrown from the fourth story window by his mother, Annie Duncan. She followed a minute later and died tonight in the Homeopathic hospital from a fractured skull. Mrs. Olor* inmnarl of fllA GQinA f.inftA UUUUniU (tiOV JUUJJ/VU MM uuw ?r?_w and received internal injuries that the doctors at the hospital say may result in her death. The tragedy occurred in a 4 story brick house, corner of Auburn place and Canton street. Mrs. Duncan and her child and Mr. and Mrs. Goddard occupied the fourth floor. Goddard was a consumptive, ' and when the flames and smoke got to j his room he was in bed. His wife hearing the screams of Mrs. Duncan, ran to the front window forgetting her sick husband. Sseing Mrs. Duncm jump, she followed, landing almost simultaneously in the street. The two women and the baby were imme * ' i i i a aiaieiy put lnio me amuuiauue ami 1 hurried away. The child died before he reached the hospital. The body of 1 Goddard was not found until after the fire had been extinguished. The dead man was found near the window, 1 showing that he had dragged himself from his bedroom to the window for the purpose of getting to the fire escape. Before reaching there he was overcome by smoke. People on the other lloora reached the "ground unhurt by means of the Ire escapes. The fire started in the callar near the air shaft, and two minutes after it was discovered the entire building was in flames. The rapidity with which the fiames spread leads to the belief that fire bugs caused the lire. The loss on the building and its contents will amount to $10,000. Held up In Alabama. Birmingham, March 10.?Louisville and Nashville fast mail No. 4 was held up by masked men three miles this side of Calera about 11:15 o'clock. The train had just left the tank and was on time. Engineer Orr was ordered to halt his train by two men on the platform of the mail coach. Two ugly pistols added emphasis to order. He obeyed. He stopped the train and was ordered down from the cab and made to cut loose the air brake, which he did promptly. He was then made to go with the men to the express car. The only occupant was H. W. Gordon, who was made to open the door. One man then got inside and secured a number of valuable packages. The two men then accompanied tne engineer back to the engine and after lie readjusted the air, was ordered to pull out. This he did. The passengers were not disturbed. Sheriff O'Brien and five deputies with horses and dogs left on a special for the scene. ,, REQUISITIONS FOR FUGITIVES Will Not be Issued for An and Every Thing.
