A TERRIBLE tfOliOCAUST Six Members of a Family Meet Death In Jersey City. FATHER SACRIFICED HIS LIFE! Had Escaped Frrm His Burning Home, But Went Back to Rescue His Loved Ones. Two sons Eicipd, on Far haps Fatally Ewnod. Jersey City, Jan. 3. Six members of one family were killed by Humes and smoke In u Hie that occurred early yeit terdny morning in this city. The dead are: Adoljih Heidi, 42 years old, the father; Kmma llelch, 42 years old, tho mother; Tlllle Itclch, 22 years old; Ida llelch, 15 years old; Albert llelch, 14 years old; Gustav Itelc-h, 8 years old. Several others were Injured, and It may be that another member o- the Ill fated family will die. He Is the 19-year-old son, and his body is covered with burns. John Conwuy, chief of the Jersey City fire department, was badly cut and burned. He fell through a burning floor and was rescued with difficulty. Henry A. Helen, 17 years old, man aged to make his escape from the house with bad burns on the neck, face and hands, but he Is not seriously Injured. Adolph Reich's home was at 317 Ger manla avenue, nenr the Hudson county boulevard, In the Hudson city district. He was a real estate agent, and well to do, living In a pleasant house of three stories. It Is believed that the fire broke out from a heater In the basement, nnd It worked Its way up to the third floor, where the sleeping apartments of the family -were located. Henry Reich said It was late when the family retired, the evening having been spent in entertaining New Year's callers. ISarly In the morning he was awakened by bhouts. Running Into the hall he saw the smoke and the flames In tho lower hall. Ills father was there, and they managed to get out of tho house together In their night clothes. Young Reich then ran down one of the streets and gave the alarm. When he returned his father was no where to be seen, but one of his broth ers, SlEismund, was there, but badly burned. Ho was taken to a neighboring house, where ho said that some one had awakened him and that he had Jumped through the blinding smoke and flame down the staircase; and out Into the open air. Several engine companies responded promptly to the alarm, and ten minutes later the Are was out. Then began the search of tho house. The ravs from the firemens' lanterns disclosed three chTirred' bodies against the wall at the foot of the stairs. They were the bodies of Adolph Reich, his daughter Tlllle nnd little Gustave. They lay on the remnants of a burned blcyole. The father had fallen unon the daughter, and his son was In his arms. They were burned almost beyond recognition. The father had rushed back Into the burning house in a desire to save his loved ones, and had forfeited his life In the effort. In the basement of the house the searching party stumbled over some thing nt the foot of the stairs. Two blnekened cm psi s, with arms entwined, lay there. They viere the remains of Ida and Albert. Portions of the limbs had been entirely burned away, and tho faces were horribly distorted. They searched then for the mother. Her body was found In the dlnlnjr room. She was but sllehtlv burned. Her face showed no look of pain. She undoubtedly died from suffocation. At dawn the bodies were rolled In blankets and sent to the morgue. LONDON'S STARTLING SENSATION Itonnrt That HrltMi Ailtnlrnl Fired on a llUK-tuu Vur-.lili. London, Jan. 3. A sensation has been caused by a rumor from Plymouth that the English admiral has fired on a Russian man-of-war in Chinese waters. Nothing Is known as to the matter at the foreign ofllce or the admiralty. Tho morning papers publish also the statement that Unglnnd Is prosslng China to declare Port Arthur a free port. It Is Mipposed that the presence of Rrltlsh warships there Is Intended to Insure freedom of access for trading vessels. The Dally Graphic claims to have authority for the assertion that no agreement exists between Russia and Germany with regard to China; that Germnny occupied Klao-Chau without Russia's cognizance, and th.Ttxtho oc cupation annoyed the advisers of tho czar.
