In the morning. Mrs. Delindafi. Trady,wife |
of the Secretary, Mies Mary Tracy, their
daughter, and Josephine Morel), a French
maid, lost their lirea. Secretary Iracy was

Tbe houso Is a three-story-and basement,
brick, situated on I nrreet, between Connecticut
avenue and Seventeenth street. Persons
passing at sevon o'clock saw smoke issuing
from tb* front windows, and at cnco
raised an alarm of fire. Tbe tire ana police
d-pjrtmer.ts responded promptly. The premises
were almost concerned by a dense suioke,
which was thickened bynbaavyfog which
was just lifting. It was soon discovered that
the house was all a'^lsss inside and that tbo
main stairway was burnt, thus cutting off
communication w.tb the sleopiug apartments
on tbe second and third floors. Soveral'
streams of water were pi iy?<l on the building,
and evory effort was in ide to check the
tl unes and rescue th > Inmates. A scene of
the wildest confusion ensued when It was
known that all tbe members o( the family
were iu the bouse. The Ar-men behaved liko

safe escape would have been at hand. Her

was found oy U.iicf Purris lying on tbe floor
in tbe second lloor h ill, at the bead of tbs
stairs. Tbe body was not greatly disfigured
by tbe (Ire; she bad evidently uied Iroiu suffocation.
Tbe chief lilted tho lifeless body
in bis arms, and although tbe stairoasj wis
ablaze, he brought it safely out into tue
street. It is said that Miss Tracy could bave

8;cretary Tracy himsdf bad a most wonden
us escape. He was tuken to tbe rati lence
ot llou J. C. Bincro t Davis, on H. street*
near eigbteei tb. Like all tbs others be was
overcome in bis sleep by tbe smoke whiob
filled the bouse, and rendered completely
helpless. He was discovered in ibis condition,
and with considerable difficulty was removed
to a place near one of tbe widows.
Criss for a ladder was quickly answered, and
many willing bands were raised to nts st
bim to tbe ground. He was at once removed
to a neighbor's boats ana ?ru soon surrounded
by physicians. Including D.s. Wales
and Rath, tie was suffering from asphyxia.
The doctors applied artificial means to induce
respiration and succeeded, after an
hour's work, in restoring him to semi-consoiouanesa.
It was then thought safe to remove
him to Judge Davis's housj. He improved
slowly from that time on and soon '
rvgiiaed consciousness, recognising frleud*
who oallei to inquire in regard to hie coudltioo.
Among the first of these were tb?
President, the Vice-President and several
members of the cabinet.
Dr. Wales, who is one of the pbysloians in
attendance upon the Secretary, end the Seor.tary
was getting along very well, and tbst
the only danger now to be feared is tbet the
smoke in his lungs wlil onus* bronchitis.
Tne Secretary, be said, was bearing up
bravely in bis great affliction. Ills greatest
anxiety was in regara to bis wife, and the
first words niteredby him on regaining consciousness
was to urge them tosive ber life.
"Save ber I Save ber I" be cried piteouaiy and
then relapsed into a state of insensibility.
It lasted a short time oaly, however, and he
again called out to tbe doctors to leave blm
and save ber. He subsequently inquired for
his daughter, and told tbe doctors that she,
too, must be saved. Finally it was concluded
tout the best oourse would be to tell htm
the truth, as tbe terrible suspense he was suffering
might retard his own recovery. Tne
President was with him at the time, and it
was from his hps that he learned tbe aid
Dews that bis wife and daughter were dead.
The blow was a terrible one, but be stood it
kwtth fortitude, and soon attar iu.o a

was liko a candle, and tha fl un s swept
? up like a flish. In doing so it lighted up
? t he hall way and shot littlo forks out through
the cracks of tho door, and soon attracted ato
tention. In a moment more the flinvshad
taken hold on the rear stairways ascending
from the satno hallway, and thus cut oft all

Chief Webber, followed by several firemen,
