VlHKLAKD, if. J., Feb. IS. Two lives
were lost and a score placed In Imminent
peril by a Are which consumtd a portion
of the Statu Horn for Feeble Minded chil
dren at this place ytsterday. Tha victims
were J. II. Rare, the tnginttr of the In
... . . . " .
In the morning In the bmsnt f thai
handsome three story brlok structure
tage," which was rtuently ertottd at a
eost of M5.000, It spread with almost In
redlble rapidity, owing to the nigh wind
and scarcity of water, and before help
eould ba summoned tha sntlr building
was filled with smoke and flames.
Sixteen helpless and well nigh ldtotto
children slept on the lewcr floors, and for
a time it siemed as If nothing short of a
miracle could possibly save them. The I
little ones, all uuawaro of tha terrible fato
which threatened them slept the sleep of 1
tho Innocent, while the deadly flames and
stifling smoke crept nearer and nearer to '
them. In the upper floors were about the .
same number of adults, all of whom wero
inllkodauKer. Just at the critical moment
help came, and a doion brave men, headed
by Augustus Speer, a statre driver, broke ,
down the doors and rushed Into tho burn
ing building, rescuing the children at tho
Imminent risk of their own lives, and car
rying to a place of safety through the bit
ter cold winds the women who had slept
In the upper floors.
It was thought that all had been saved
when the white and terror strloken faces
of Snge nnd his wife appeared at a window
iu the third floor, and their voices wero
heard crying plteously for help. Answer- j
lug shouts trom'below bade them remain
where ther were until a ladder eould bo
procured, but they were too much frights
ened to obey. Just as help was about to
eome, and at a time when It seemed as It
they would surely be saved, both disap
peared from the window and were seen no
more. The flames swept on, completely
gutting the building.
In the afternoon the bodies or the unfor
tunates were found at the foot of the stair
way burned to a erlsp, indicating that
thoy bad tried that means of escape, only
to rush to certain death. They were for
merly residents of Philadelphia, and had
been here hut six weeks, The loss on the
building will reach $1S,000, half of It cov
ered by Insurance. The origin of the lire
is a mystery.

Maekaye itemed to be retting easier. Ho

done all they eould for him. Mr. Mncknyo
leaves a widow aud six children, five boys
and out girl, all grown. The remains wero

Steele Maekure wa lorn nt Fort Por

While slowly eonvaleseing in France ho
occupied himself with painting and mod
eling. At the breaking out of the war of
the rebellion be returned to his native
country and enlisted as n common soldier,
and befote the war was over ho was ga
zetted.
Returning to France at the close of tho
war he resumedhis artistic studies, resolv
lug to apply himself to dramatic art. Ho
was a pupil of Cornier, and Inter of l'ran
cais Delsarte. Returning to America by
way of England ho was persuaded by
Tom Taylor, in London, to ussumo the
title role of Hamlet in a grand revival of
that play, which was to be given at the
Crystal Palace under the direction of that
distinguitbod dramatist. The success of
Mr. Alackayt's interpretation of Hamlet
was so great that the engagement was
prolonged far beyond that originally do-
elded upon.
Probably nothing but another of the
strlout lllnerras which have marked crises
in Mr. Mackaye'a carter diverted him
from a lifetime of Ehakei-perean interpre
tation!. Recovering, he produced, In
collaboratiou with Tom Taylor, two plays
In London with marked success, "Ark
wrlght's Wife" and "Clancarty." With
Charles Rsadi he tollaboratrd a piny en
tltled "Jeslouty." In 1873, while nt work
with George Xlllott upon a dramatization
ef "Silas Jdarner," he was recalled to
America upon important business, where
ho has livtd tTtr since, working incess
antly for the stage, as teacher, lecturer,
inventor, manager, playwright and actor.
Following is a list of his production in
America: "Marriage," "Rose Mitchell,"
"Quean and 'Woman," "Won at Last,"
"Through the Dark," "An Iron Will,"
"Hzl Kirke," "A Fool's Errand," "Da
