GHASTLY DISCOYEBY BY FIREMEN Relatives Claim the HSaainB The Victim Was Abac lR th Snm and tew Origin oi the Fne la Wholly a Matter of Supposition. At five tnlnutat of on o'clock ysstarday morning the fire klartn bell foandeO alarm "18." The box from wiljeh it was ionndetl is located at the corner of Cherry and Gilbert streets. The greater part of the town was wrapped in slumber, hi tier cold gales were sweeping through the streets, and the alarm did not seem to have much effect upon people living outside the immediate vicinity of the Are and the bell tower. A second alarm followed the. fl ret and it had the de sired effect. People (locked to the scene hy hundreds. The fire was located in a two-story frame structure at the rear of 482 West Cherry street, and in the middle of the lot, which runs baok to Mayberry alley. It evidently started in tho midst of Inflammable material, for when the first of the firemen arrived, and some of them lived In the vicinity, the building was in a blaze. Among thoso who first reached the house wsre William Manley and Patrick Hughes. Seeing that all the doors and windows of the house were closed, and upon being informed that Pat rick Stevens, the solo occupant had not been seen, tho men forced open a door on tho southern side of tho building. It was their intention to enter and rescue Stevens, should they find him inside, but the bursting open of tho door revealed to them a scene llko a roaring furnace and it would have been folly for anyone to enter the place and attempt a rescue. Meanwhile tho fire company put two streams of water and two lines of chemical hose into play on tho flro and in abont ten minutes succeeded in get ting tho flro under control. At the first opportunity, nnd while the upper part of the building was still in flames, a squad of firemen entered the lower part and found the charred Toinalns of Stevens lying upon tho floor of the only room in that part of the house. Tho feet of the corpse were pointed to tho southern entrance and tho head to tho north, and about three feat from a rango. Tho body rested upon a lot of rub bish, evidently the burned remains of bed ding. A half burned bod quilt was found with thorn. While some of the firemen continued putting out the flro others made arrange ments to remove the body, which was in a frightful condition. Tho legs and arms wore burned to a crisp, the trunk was roasted so ns to niako handling dllllault, and the skull was bare nnd white. A door was secured and tho remains were carried on it to the lockup. Tho entire force of police was required to make way for the mon who carriod tho im provised bior. Deputy Coroner Mauloy and Undertaker O'Neill called at tho lockup and the former announced that an Inquest would bo held this evening. Mr. O'Neill took charge of tho remains and after he had prepared them suitably they wero transferred to tho rosidenco of a sister of tho deceased, Mrs. Bridget Coyne, at 7 South Jardin streot, from which place the funeral will take placo to-morrow morning, at 0 o'clock. There will be high mass in the Annunciation church and the remains will bo taken to St. Clair for interment. Tho deceased was 50 years of age and a bachelor. He lived alone and worked in tho mines. The house in which tho fire started, as well as tho ono on tho Cherry street end of the lot was owned by him. The surviving nearest relatives are Mrs. Bridget Coyno, Mrs. Timothy O'Brien, a niece, and Mrs. Ann Scanlan, of Reading, a sister. Tho firemen extinguished tho flro before it communicated with any of the surrounding properties, but the Stevens houso was gutted. Tho origin of the fire is unknown, but It Is quite likely that it was caused by a coal from tbo rango, or ashes from a pipe. Stevens was seen wending his way homeward about an hour before tho alarm was sounded. During tho cold weather the man made his bed in tho room down stairs. Tho bedding was about threo feet from the front of tho range. It is believed by some that the victim fell asleep while smoking and ashes from the pipe set tho bedding on fire. Others think the flames spread too quick for such a source and that the bedding must havo been set on fire by a hot cinder fulling from the grato of tho range. When the firemen entered tho build ing the doors of the rango were open. The positiortj-,5iilvwheii found showed that TtEb victim made altttxl0 heforo death overtook him. The fecrwrei.&"rawn towards the trunk and tho forearms were ai right angles with tho body. Kcndrlck House Froe I.uiic1i. Ojstetn on toast to-night. Hot lunch to-morrow morning.

Her death was found to have been accidental, fot- she fell a victim of the treacherous stairway of th houm. Her husband spent the best part of a day in jail, but Saturday night was liberated. Much sympathy Is now ex pressed for him. His hesitation to explain all the olroumstances of his wiU's death Is accounted for upon the ground that, ba ins; a man of temperate h-iblts himself, he was deeply ashamed that both. himself dud his wife should have takon too muoh liquor In celebration of their wedding.

ALBANY, Jan. 18. "Congress can to a vory large degree solve the problem of ab olition of tho swoating system by passing more stringent emigration laws aud by a tax that wosld force the" workers out of the tenements into shop buildings, where state legislation can reach them." That is the most important paragraph In the eleventh annual report of New York State Factory Inspector O'Leary, and he alleges that the greatest evil labor Is bored with is no more prevalent in New York oity than it is lu Buffalo, Ilochester, Syracuse, Philadelphia, Boston, Chios go, San Franolsoo.IIartford, Newark, St Paul, St Louts and overy other large center of population, and espeolally in cities or lo calities where the manufacture of oloth ing Is carried on to any extent In his report Inspector O'Leary says : 'With knee pants bringing from fifty to seveuty-flvo cents per dozen, vests from $1 to t& per dozen, trousers from twelve aud a half to seventy-five cents per pair, and coats from thirty-two oents to f 1.80 each, with a percentage off these prioes for the 'boss sweaters' and another reduc tion oil for cost of carting whleh tho workman Is obliged to pay we onnnot ex pect to find anything but destitution, suf fering, Intellectual and moral depression existing amongst the unfortuale vlotlms of this pernlolous system. "In Now York olty alone we have about 400 wholesale clothing manufacturers or jobbers, and nearly all of those utilize this kind of labor. There are nearly 150 whole sale cloak houses In the same olty, and only a few of them have suitable shops and workrooms of their own In which to do the work. "Nearly all ready made clothing Is now made up In places of this kind. The con tractors who operate fairly good shops as a rule do not comploto the garments, but parcel out the minor parts to eub-oontrac-tors or families who do the work in tene ment or dwolllng houses at prices which, after long hours of toll, will produce only a fow cents. Tho condition of tho clothing trado In Now York Is worse today than over boforo.
