A Fatal Fire.
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.

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

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. ,,

See Ludden and Bates' new advertisment

allow 15 feet for each wagon ana

three miles long. That is just the

an interest in the noted Mathushek
Piano factory, they are now supply

intermediate profits. This means a
saving of from $50 to $100 on each
piano, and the securing of one of the
oldest and most reliable mstruments at
a remarkably low figure. Better write
