cue of the Secretary.
Washington, Feb. 4. The news of the
horror at the residence of Secretary Tracy,
by which his wife, daughter and a maid lost
their lives, created tho most Intense eiclto
tnent In this city, and all day long the
wrecked and blackened house was sur
rounded by immense throngs of people whe
shuddered as they looked upon the scene ot
desolation. Never before In the history ol
the cabinet has one of Its members been thui
horribly smitten by the hand of death, and
beside this last event Secretary Blaine's ro
cent bereavement pales Into comparative
insignificance The latest details ot th
shocking affair are as follows:
The Story of the fire.
Shortly after 7 a. m. Monday, a man pass
ing the house saw smoke issuing from the
windows. He at once gavo tho alarm by
violently ringing
tho bell. Every
one In the house
was fast asleep and
the lower portion
o f the residence
was ablaze. The
stairways wore
afire and the only
chance of escape
was by Jumping.
Several of the
terror stricken
occupants soon ap
peared at the win-
MTIS. TRACY.
dows of the Becond floor.
Mrs. Wllmeruing,
the secretary's married daughter, and her
child, Alice, aged 13 years, forced their way
through the blinding smoke and Jumped
from the front second story window, ma-
dors wore raised for them, but In their ex
citement they failed to see them. ilrs. w 11
merdlng broke her left wrist and was
severely bruised. Her daughter was badly
injured about the lower limbs, but broke no
bones. They woro taken at once to the
residence of Dr. Baxter near by, and restora
tives applied.
BIrt. Tracy's Heroism.
Mrs. Tracy gave her life for that of her
husband. Bhe could undoubtedly have es
caped alive but for her heroic exertions to
save him. They occupied the roar room on
the second story. Everything would seem
to Indicate that Mrs. Tracy nwoke to find
the house ablaze and her husband uncon
scious at her side. With little thought for
herself she caught him In her arms, and In
her desperate efforts to drag blm to a win
dow ruptured a blood vessel. Bhe then
opened the window, and although the fire
men were raising a ladder sue am not wan.
but plunged to the concrete court yard be
low. One leg was broken In the fall, but
she died an hour later from the effects ot the
raptured blood vessel.
The Secretary's Rescue.
When the firemen reached tho scene the
lower portion of the house was wrapped In
flames. As soon as they knew that people
were still in the
burning building
ladders were raised
to the rear win
dows and Chief
Farris dashed into
the flaming struct
ure. The chief tells
his story ot the
scene In the house
thus: "I felt my
way through tho
smoke to the sec
ond Boor and found
SECRETARY TRACY.
a man In a room. I managed to drag blm
Into a back room, where there was more air,
and then broke the window out and called
to Lowe, who was In the alley, to run up n
ladder. Then they took the man out, and
it proved to be the secretary.
Miss Tracy's Vrlchtful Death
'Then I went back Into the smoke and fire
again and found a young lady Miss Mary
Tracy, they told me It was and as I caught
hold ot nor wrists 10 1111 ner up ino uesn
came off her burned bands. I got her out,
but she was dead. That exhausted me. I
could do no more."
Miss Tracy had been suffocated by smoke
and beat. Bhe was taken out tenderly
through a neighbor's house nud down a lad
der, and the best medical help was instantly
at her side, but without avail. The features
were unrecognizable, but certain peculiari
ties ot apparel led to the identification of the
body.
Another uody Dadiy uurneu was mat, 01 a
servant, a French maid named Josephine,
The secretary was removed to tne resi
dence ot Mr. Bancroft Davis near by, and
was soon surrounded by physicians, who
found him to be suffering from asphyxia.
The doctors applied artificial means to In
duce respiration ami succeeded, after an
hour's work, in restoring him to semi-consciousness.
The Fresldent at the Scene.
President Harrison and Vice President
Morton, bearing early ot the catastrophe,
were with Secretary Tracy soon after the
latter regained partial consciousness. Tho
sutterer asked plteously for nows of his fam
ily, and the president was obliged to inform
him of the truo extent ot his loss. It was
unquestionably oue of the saddest ordeals of
the chief executive's lire, tie at lirst re
fused to answer the secretary's appeal, but
his silence was taken as an ill omen, and he
was obliged to tell the sufferer the truth.
Secretary Tracy swooned and almost suc
cumbed. He soon revived, however, and is
improving as rapidly as posslblo. He will
undoubtedly recover.
The llodlea at tho White House.
The remains of Mrs. Tracy and those of
her daughter, Miss Mary Tracy, were con
veyed to the executive mansion last night
and placed In the East room, where they
win remain until the lunerul arrangements
shall have been completed. It is quite prob
able that the funeral will take place from
the executive mansion. Oen. Catlln, of
Brooklyn, the brother of Mrs. Tracy, who
will decide about the funeral arrangements,
arrived here from Brooklyn last night.
Secretary Iracy Is still at tne resilience of
Bancroft Davis and will probably remain
there until to-night. President JlarrKon
said to the United Press representative last
night that he thought in Secretary Tracy's
present depressed ami prostrated condition
It would be Imprudent to move him to the
executive mansion, but that he thought that
some time today lie could be removed with
safety. The secretary Is suffering from the
Inhalation of smoke, and his lungs in con
sequence are extremely weak.
lbs lire. It Is believed, started In tho front
parlor near the open fireplace. Whether
It originated from the open grate or from
overheated furnace plpeu is not known. The
framework adjoining the mantel was where
the Ore started, and tt, no doubt, burned
some time before it was discovered. The
furnace Is in the basement, directly beneath
where the Ore started, and tho pipes leading
to the upper stories pass In the rear of the
woodwork of the mantel, lue nremen gen
erally think that the woodwork caught flro
from the overheated pipes.
Mrs. Tracy's Lust Words.
Mrs. McKee gives a touching account of
the president's visit to Mrs. Tracy Just be
fore the latter's death. He found her lying
upon a low couch in the little frame dwel
ling to which she bad been carried, Mrs.
Tracy, though suffering intensely, recog
nized the president at once, whispered a few
farewell messages to tier nusuaud, tier
daughters and son Into his ear, and then,
with her hand claphed lu that of the presl'
dent, passed quietly away.

squaro was scattered brlo-a-brao broken in
pieces. Her favorite books were burned
and covered with dirt and scattered all
about by the stream of water that came too
late to save her young life. Hut tho most
pathetic tiling of all were the dead pets. Hho
was very fond of pots. They will not miss
her, however, for thoy, too, passed away
when she did. At tho foot of the bed was
tho poodle dog, which she had often potted.
Around Its neck was a blue ribbon tied by
her hands. Two canaries that used to awaken
her from her dreams In the morning lay In
tho bottom of their cage, and as n police
man passed the door and stopped to look In
he drew the sleeve of his coat over his eyes
and hurried down stairs.
The house was completely gutted and tho
furniture Is a total loss. Its value Is esti
mated at $$.000. The place was magnifi
cently furnished, nil of tho furniture being
new.

Gen. Tracy himself spoke of her fondly and
proudly as "nn excellent woman and wlfo

At the time Gen. Tracy went to Washing

mained for a time In Brooklyn, giving her
daughter the benefit of hor tender motherly
care. Miss Mary was like her mother In ap
pearance and had tho same pleasant and
cheerful ways. She had host of friends in
Brooklyn, who were full of regret at her de
parture for the capital and who will feel
deeply her distressing fate. Miss Mary was
a gifuxl artist, and spent three years at
Paris uudor the tuition of tho great French

acrid debate, tho decision of the speaker was
sustained.
Washington, Jan. 30. Thosenate listened
to speeches by Senators Vance and Hampton
on the race question. Mr, Vance's speech
took a humorous turn and was frequently
applauded. He said that for the sake of the
negro we are today threatened notonly with
political aflliction but with a servile war,
whose weapons shall be the midnight torch
and the assassin's dagger, and whose victims
shall bo sleeping women and children. He
criticised Mr, Iugall's remarks as pyrotoch
nice, concealing paucity of ideas. Thore was
plenty of room for the negro In the northern
and western states. "If," said he, "the
negro la a good thing, let us divide him."
Mr. Hampton addressed the senate at
BOino length. He denied tho statement ot
the senator from Kansas (Mr, Ingalls) basal
on a uowspapar extract, that be was In
favor of the extermination of the negro.
Ho favored no such horrible policy, He
turned the tables against Mr, Ingalls by
quoting from the Atlanta Constitution the
following extract: "Unlet history is a false
teacher, it is not possible for two distinct
races, not homogeneous, to exist on terms of
political equality under tho same govern'
meat. Oue or the other must go to the
wall." "And that," said Mr. Hamptou, "Ii
signed 'J, J, Ingalls.'"
At the conclusion of Mr. Hampton's speech
the bill went over without action.

Nearly Half 11 Million Missing Who
Has the Money?
New York, Jan. 31. A most startling
condition of affairs has been brought to
light by United States Bank Commissioner
A. B. Hepburn, who took possession of the
Sixth National bank at Thirty-fourth stroet
and Broadway, and was busy examining Its
accounts nil day. It has been discovered
that tho now president of the bank, P. J.
Classen, who went Into office only two days
ago, has since attempted to dispose of (022,
000 of the bank's securities, consisting of
gilt edged bonds of a market value of over
8OO,0O0. All but 12,50,(100 of these bonds
have been sold, and whore the money has
gone is yet unknown. Mr. Classen repre
sents the syndicate which last week liought
out tbo interest of Charles H. Leland, the
former president of tho bank, and assumed
control 011 1 uesday.
A Significant Notice.
In tho morning the bank was closed and
the following notice written on a sheet ol
note paper was tacked to tho door:
I hare taken possession of this bank as United
States bank examiner In helinlf of the controller
of the currency nt Yashlugton, 1). 0., w ho n III
give such rurther orders as may be necessary. A
careful examination Is befug made of the assets
and liabilities. A. II. Ilci'Dunx,
United States Hank Commissioner.
The doors of tho bank wore surrounded by
n crowd of panic stricken depositors all the
morning, and very little Information could
be gleaned from the bank commissioner and
his assistants, who wcro at work insido, as to
tho actual situation. At 11:30 o'clock Com
missioner Hepburn Issued the following pre
liminary statement:
Kxniiiluer Hepburn's Statement.
"Mr. Leland sold 1,035 shares of stock, a
controlling interest, to the parties at present
In control ot the bank, at U50, and gave them
possession Jan. 22. On Jan. 23, 1022,000 par
value of high priced bonds belonging to the
bank were delivered to Pell, Wallace & Co.,
and a receipt token reading as follows:
"It.-coived, New York, Jan. Si, lb90. of
the Sixth National bank of Now York, tho
following named bonds, to bo sold for ac
count ot said bank and accounted for to its
president as ho may demand.'
I hero wns no entry on tho books of the
bank to show nny disposition of tho bonds.
the stock book called for tho original
amount I found tho $022,000 bonds gone
and demanded their restoration, or funds to
represent their market value. I went with
the president, P. J. Classen, to Pell, Wal
laco & Co., who said that about $400,000 of
the bonds had been sold and checks sent to
the bank, and that tho remaining bonds
wero with different brokers for sale, and
that thoy would get and return thorn.
Nipped 111 the ltuil.
They brought to me $201,000 of tho
bonds. Tbo checks offered for tho balance
could not bo accepted. The above, together
with other matters atfectlng the bank, ren
dered tho temporary closing of the bank
imperative. If the gentlemen lu charge
carry out the promises or assurances given
the controller will undoubtedly reopen tho
bank. 1 do not think depositors will loso
anything. The object in taking possession
was to iusore that Gentlemen, that Is all."
In addition to this Mr. Hepburn stated
that the sltuatiou was further complicated
by the inct that not one ot tho new directors
had yet qualified by taking the oath of office
as required by law.
History of the llnnk.
The Sixth National bank was organized in
1S64, and last week Mr. Leland, thu presi
dent, disposed of hi Interest to the syndi
cate which has been In control for the last
two days. Tho now board consists of P. J.
Classen, a stock broker, ot No. 45 Broad
way; D. M. Ripley, president of the Kings
County Elevated road; J. Kenneth Watson
aud II. T. Cutter, who recently bought out
the drug store of Alexander Hudnut in
Broadway. The bank was regarded as one
of the bouudest financial concerns In thu
city, aud had a very large surplus, accord
ing to its last re;ort. IU stock very re
cently sold as high as $350 a share in the
market.
Discovered by the Cashier.
Andrew D, Colson, who has been cashier
of tbo bank for twonty-two years, was the
llrst to discover that any Irregularities bad
been going on, his suspicions being nronsed
by seeing tho receipt which is mentioned lu
Commissioner Hepburn's statement Ho at
ouco notified the commissioner.
They Were Audacious Hank Wreckers.
Commissioner Hepburn stated last night
that thus far tho missing bonds, par valuo
$421,000, market value $482,400, are still
missing. There are loans of $160,000, for
which tho security on hand is very dubious
There are also $88,000 of protested notes of
Broker George 11, Poll, who issaidbysomo
to have schemed the wholo transaction. The
other assets seem to be all right Mr. Hop-
burn's report to tbo controller of the cur
rency will be ready to-night, and the ap
pointment of a receiver will sjiecdily follow.
lie says It was the most audacious caso ot
bank wrecking In tho history of this city.
The Lenox Hill Hunk I'ulls.
The new directory of tbo Sixth National
bank is interested lu tho Lenox Hill bank at
1,248 Third avenuo. In consequence of tho
trouble nt tho former bank the Lenox Hill
has failed. The president of the Lenox Hill
bank is Charles E. Wallack, a son of the
late Lester Wallack. He went In with tho
new board of directors on Dec 19. There
was $40,000 cash on hand when the bank
opened lu the morning. By great effort
i 20,000 more was procured. The entire $00,
000 had been paid out to depositors by noon
aud the cashier closed the doors.
The Hunk's Condition.
The financial condition ot the bank is
about as follows: Deposits, $270,000; capital
paid in, $100,000; loans aud discounts, $.'300,.
000; amount due other banks, $50,000. Tho
directors are liable for twice the amount of
their shares. It Is stated that at tho same
time the Lenox Hill bank changed hands a
syndicate acquired control of four institu
tions the Lenox Hill, Sixth National, Equi
table and St Nicholas banks. J, A. Sim
mons, who obtained a controlling Interest lu
the Lexon Hill bank, was a prime mover In
the syndicate.
"Another Ives-Stayuer Case."
Frederick D. Tappan, president of the
Gallatin National bank and a member of
the clearing house committee, says that the
proceeds of the sale ot stocks and securities
belonging to the Sixth National bank wore
used to pay the certified checks which had
been given to Mr. Leland, tho former presi
dent, for his 1,0:!5 shares of stock. These
checks were drawn upon several banks, in
cluding the Lenox Hill and Equitable. Mr.
Tappan denounce-! the transaction as "an
other Ives-Staynv case." Ho explained
that the purchasers were given possession
of the bank on payment of the certified
checks, and then eold tho securities they
found In the vaults, and deposited the pro
ceeds in the clearing house to meet the cer
tified checks. Mr, Tappen added that
counsel for Mr. Leland has announced that
any deficit in the assets will bo paid by Mr,
Leland In full.
Mr. Tappan further stated that In his
opinion the price paid to Mr, Leland for bu
ttock was excessive.
