Serious Fall.
iitr lujw, iuarca -Tour people
Were killed and two injured j in a fire
which started early yesterday morning in
tne tnree story business and tenement
building at &74 Hudson street: The dead
are: Thomas.Malloy, 25 years did,' a fire
man on the steamship St. Louis, suffo
cated; Archibald Grogan, 35 years old, a
waiter, suffocated; Mary McMahon, sin-pie,-
22 years old, suffocated; Margaret
Ryan, 60 years old, single, died on the way
to the hospital from injuries received by
jumping from - a window. The injured
are: Kate Higgins, leg fractured by falling;-
Edward Walsh, 29 years old, fireman,
internally hurt by falling from: a ladder.
The burned building is one of a row of
three story structures owned by the Trinity
church corporation. The ground floor is
occupied by John H. Eggers, ,& dealer in
confectioners' supplies, and the upper
floors were occupied by several families as
dwellings. The second floor, immediately
over the confectioners' quarters, was oc
cupied for the most part by the family of
Thomas McManus, consisting jof Mr. and
Mrs. McManus. two sons and two daugh
ters. Twelve other rooms on that floor
are used by the family of Mr. ( McManus,
while three rooms' in the rear portion of
the floor were occupied by a Mr. and Mrs.
McMahon and the young man Malloy,
who was boarding with them. On the
third floor were a number of 'families.
It was in the apartments of the Mc
Manus family that the fife originated, so
far as the police and the firemen are able
to determine. Nicholas McManus, one of
the sons, who slept in one . of the back
rooms of the suite, was awakened by the
smell of smoke. He turned in an-alarm
and awakened the tenant. It was ap-
parent that the lives of many were in dan
ger, for the smoke had permeated every
part of the house and the flames were
burning briskly. All of the McManus
family were able to niake their way down
the stairs to tho street before exit in that
direction was cut off by .the-flames? Nich
olas McManus succeeded in helping sev
eral of the people out by leading them
down the stairs through the blinding
smoke in the hallway. K J-
It was among the tenants on the top
floor that the chief danger lay. Some of
them ran to the roof and escaped in that
direction, but others, sought to get down
by the stairway. Miss Margaret Ryan and
Miss Kate Higgins on being awakened
ran to the front windows on .the third
floor, where they .lived. The firemen had
already arrived, and ladders had been
placed on the front side of the ' house to
help take out the tenants whose lives were
in danger. . )
On one of these ladders was Fireman
Walsh. As he was ascending a burst of
flame and smoke shot out of) one of the
windows, and he was sent reeling to the
street. As Walsh fell Miss, Ryan leaped
from the window to the sidewalk, .and
Miss Higgins, apparently partly overcome
by the smoke iii the rooms above, fell to
the ground at almost the same time. An
ambulance was enti for, but Miss Ryan
was unconscious when placed! in the con-'
veyance, and died before the hospital was
reached. Walsh was taken tO the hospital,
at the same -time. He will probably re
cover. . i '. '
After the flames had been extinguished
a search of he building was made, and
the bodies of Thomas Malloy, Archibald
Grogan and Mary McMahon were found.

1 . Full Confession.
A TESSIBLE TEAGEDY III OHIO,
Pap.is; March 30. The political world :
of France is again in a highly perturbed -condition,
and there are indications go-:
iug to show that the government seeks :
to retrace some of the steps by which it las
bean placed in the position of impotent ;
acquiescence in the dispatch' of an Egyp- j
tian expedition up the Nile and the de- j
fraying of tho expenses of it out of the
Egyptian debt surplus. The government :
will be interpellated in the chamber of
deputies, and the ministers will be under ;
the necessity of making some kind of j
statement in reply. An important debate '
is expected to result, and there is a feeling
in some quarters that far reaching changesL
of, policy may be announced. ;
The air is filled with suspicion, and hu- !
merous rumors are current of great things
that are in contemplation. Among those
which are circumstantially formulated are
that the resignation of M. Berthelot as
minister of foreign affairs, announced on
Suturday, wa connected with the wish of
M. Bourgeois, the premier, to recall Baron
De Courcel, the French ambassador in
London; that France's naval reserve
squadron has been ordered to be placed
upon a war footing, and that France and
Russia will convene a European confer- j
ence to discuss the powers of the Egyptian j
debt commission to act against the vote of j
a minority of the powers guaranteeing the J
debt, and to discuss also the evacuation of
Egypt.
There is a growing feeling among
Frenchmen that the entente between
Great Britain and the dreibund as a whole
is not as cordial as it was believed it was
when the Nile expedition was first announced.-
The signs' of the unreconciled
attitude of Germany toward Great Britain
have been keenly noted in France for two i
weeks past, and the conviction has grown
th at "Germ any, though glad to avail herself
of Great Britain's assistance to her ally,
Italy, will not take a inorop'Tenient view,

ST. PETEUSBUKGr March 33. The) Rus
sian newspapers are unanimous in oppos
ing England's claim to employ the reserve
of the Egyptian debt to pay. the expenses
of the Soudan expedition. ; This is neces
sarily an accurate reflection of the views
of the government, whose understanding
with France on all aspects of the Egyptian
question is most complete. Both govern
ments are 'how seriously considering the
adoption of a common political attitude
in order to formally establish their opposi
tion to a prolonged occupation of Egypt.

N. J., on Friday, was Bessie Weaver,
daughter of a Germantowh physician,
whose youthfulescapad.es and marriage to
Willie Hef c. the son of the wealthy brewer,
from wboiii she was soon divorced, created
a decided sensation in Philadelphia sev
eral years ago.
Philadelphia, March 30. Suspected
murderer John Rech, it is said, yesterday,
made a confession. to the police admitting
that he murdered his wife for the purpose
of enjoying the money left by Dr. Weaver
to his daughter Elizabeth (Bessie). The
authorities refuse to reveal the details of
the confession. It is said, however, that
Rech, in admitting the crime, says .that
the. child is not the offspring of Elizabeth,;
but that it was obtained in this city six
weeks ago as a result of a newspaper ad
vertisement. It seems also that the cou
pl were not lawfully married, although a
ceremony was gone through before a jus
tice of the peace in Jersey City in May,
1895. He is said to have confessed that he
has a wife and daughter living in Cata
saqua, Pa., but whether she obtained di
vorce papers is not known.
It is claimed that he and Elizabeth
Weaver conspired to let him . become the
beneficiary under the will of her father in
case of her death. Under the terms of the
doctor's will Elizabeth had between $30,
000 and 850, 000 left her in trust. Should
she die without issue the money was to go
to charity. As the first step in the con
spiracy the woman made a will leaving
her inheritance to Rach in trust for their
child. They had yet to obtain a child.
When they appeared in Estelville she
began to make it appear they nad a child
In this city. About 6ix weeks ago they are
said to have come here 'arid advertised for
an Infant about ten months old. One was
obtained, which is said to be the illegiti
mate offspring of a prominent society
woman and a NewlYork business man.
"With the child they returned to Estelville.
The resolve to murder the woman, it is
said, entered Rech' s mind suddenly. He
strangled her while she slept, and then
carried her to the grave he had hastily pre
pared. He came here Thursday night and
Friday went to Fox Chase; and on Satur
day to So ruerton, where he stopped at a
hotel. He had previously left the child in
Philadelphia in a "baby farm." On Sat
urday night he-reatjL; tf the discovery of
body, and1 began trembling so that the
hotel proprietor spoke to him. He ad
mitted he was John j Rech, and was then
turned over to the police.

A Masked Man KiSls an Aged Couple and
Knocks Others Senseless.
v Akron. O.. March 80. At a late hour-
Saturday night a masked man entered the
farm house of Alvin! M. Stone, near Tall
madge, a few miles from this city, and in
the. brief space of half an hour committed
a horrible butcheryj When he, took his
departure Stone and his wife, both aged
people, were lying dead in bed, horribly
mutilated, and Ira Stillson, the hired'man,
and Emma Stone;' the eldest of three
daughters, were unconscious from blows'
dealt by the murderer.
The murderer entered . the house by
means of a ladder, wlich he raised to an
upstairs window. Going' quietly down
stairs to the room in which Mr. and Mrs.
. Stone slept he attacked them with ablunt
weapon of some sort, hitting both upon
the head. The fiend then cut olT one of
Stone's ears, slashed him across the face
I- and stabbed him in the back. Then he
laid Mrs. Stone's cheek open with a knife.
After satisfying his fiendish desires downstairs-he
proceeded to the room of Stillson,
upstairs. The hired man heard the in
truder, apparently, for he had arisen, when
he was d'ealc a stunning blow on the head.
Next the murderer turned his attention
to Emma Scone, who slept in a room by
herself. When he I entered her room she
screamed. That awakened the two other
girls who slept across the" hall. Hattie
Stone arose to go to her sister's assistance,
but was felled to the floor by a blow on the
head, but fortunately was not rendered
unconscious. Regaining her feet she ran
to her own room and locked the door.
Throwing h bed quilt about her she leaped
from the window and ran through the
rain and mud to the nearest neighbors, a
quarter of a mile away.
The murderer returned to Emma's room
and struck her on the head, leaving her
unconscious. Then he tried the door to
the room , in which Hattie had left her'
younger sister, Flora, when she jumped
from v the window Finding the door
locked he battered j it down, finding only
Flora in the room, j He asked Flora where
the other girl was, and being told that she
had' gone for help he hastily left the house
and made hi s escape.
. Hattie, with the -blood streaming from
the wound in her head, managed to reach
the neighbor's house, told her story and
then fainted. The neighbor, calling for
help, went to the S:cne house. .The only
person in the house! who was able to speak
was Flora Stone, aged 16, and she was so
