Eight people were either burned to death or suffocated In a fire which partly destroyed the three-story and attic frame double tenement house, Nos. 43 and i3' Hester street, early to-day: The dead: SARAH SASS. thirty-six years of ace. SAMUEL. SASS. thirteen. LENA SASS. nine. MORRIS SASS. two. MRS. HOROWITZ, forty-six. ROSA LEWIS, fifty-two. . MENDEL. STRAUSS, sixty: SAMUEL STRAUSS, twenty. Mary Murray, aged forty, was severely burned about the back and was taken to a hospital. The fire was discovered shortly after 1 o'clock by the janitor of the build ings. He ran out Into the hall to find It ablaze. Ills shouts aroused the others in the house, but the flames had already gained fierce headway, and few of those In the building had time to save themselves by the stairs. , On the third floor of No. 43 lived Charles Sass. his wife and four children, his mother-in-law and a Mrs. Horowitz. Sass took the child nearest at hand and rushed to the fire escape. He managed to get down to the balcony in front of the build ing on the second floor, and supposed his wife and the others were following him. Mrs. Horowitz was the only one who fol lowed him, however. She took the child from his arms when she saw their escape cut oft and cried to a policeman below to catch It. The policeman held out his arms, and as the child fell he caught It safely and shouted to her to drop. Sass had al ready hung down and dropped to the ground. Mrs. Horowitz was about to drop, when flames suddenly burst through an awning on the first floor with such fury that she was driven back against the wall and her only escape cut off. So fierce were the flames that burst at the same time from the awning below, from the window behind her and from tho floor of the balcony under her feet that it was impossible for the firemen to rescue her. On the balcony, only a few feet from the ground, but hedged In on all sides by flame, she was burned to death before the eyes of the terrified crowd gathered In the street. Mrs. Sass, with little Morris, was unable to get further than the window, when they were both overcome by smoke and per ished. Lena Sass ran into the hallway and was caught by the flames there and died. Samuel tried to rescue Mrs. Rosa Lewis from the flames, but was unsuccessful, und they perished together. Their bodies were found in the hallway, the lad's arms still clasped about the aged woman's waist, as though he died while trying to drag her out. The front room of the attic was occupied by Mendel Strauss and his son Samuel. Both were suffocated before they could es cape. Mary Murray and Mary Martin, scrubwomen, who lived in a room back of the Strausses. were awakened by the smoke and cries and started down the rear stairway, reaching the ground in safety. On the stairs the Martin woman's dress caught fire, but the flames were beaten out by Mrs. Murray, who was slightly burned In the back. The loss by fire Is estimated at .000. Three Firemen Injured.

Thomas was called to-day on his return from St. Louis to the newspaper reports as to the Rocke feller reaulsltlon. He said: The statements have all come from the other side. The whole thing leaked out In some mysterious way. Early In September last Sheriff John W. Baker, of McLennan county, and myself went to New York with a requisition from Governor Sayers for the Standard Oil trustees. On reaching Al bany we found Governor Roosevelt absent from the State.

In reply I cited him the decisions of the hlshet court in the Statu of New York, bolting that a fugitive fron Justice mount a fugitive from Justk-e of a State rather than a furltlve from it.- territory. 'LearnlriK that the time of his return to New York was Indefinite, I went to St. Loula to lay the matter before (Jovernor Itoosevelt. Governor Roosevelt promised to take action la the matter later, but haa not done so yet. It Is true that the cas4 have been long pending, but the anti-trust law of Texas has been for six years under assault as unconstitutional. These cases have been once to the highest state courts and twice to the Supreme Court of the United States. The law was once held un constitutional by a federal Judge. It was only within the last few months that a decision was had upholding the law. We now propose to spare no efforts to bring these defendants to trial." WANTED IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The body was in a coarse sack strongly sewed at the top and bottom, and was that of a man weighing about 160 pounds. On the body were a dark Jacket and trousers. The head had been severed at the snoul ders and the legs at the knees, and the arms had also been cut off. The police to-night are inclined to the belief that George E.

L. Wilson, president of Washington and Lee University and ex-postmaster general, died suddenly at 9:20 o'clock this morning of congestion of the lungs. He had been fall ing ever since his return from Arizona. His son. Dr. Arthur "Wilson, of Lynchburg, visited him on Sunday and left on Monday. Then came the sudden change. Mr. "Wilson's attending physician did not give up hope of his rallying until late last night. He was confined to the house from Tuesday a week ago, but was thought to be Improved when his son left him. He was conscious until the last. By his bedside were his wife, his daughters.

All duties were suspended to-day in the university. The remains are lying in state at the president's home. William L. Wilson was born in Jeffer son county, Virginia (now West Virginia), May 3, 1843. He was educated at Charles town Academy and at Columbian College, now Columbian University, in the District of Columbia, from which institution he graduated in 1S60, and at the Unlverslay of Virginia. He served as a regimental of ficer in the Confederate army, and for sev eral years was professor of Latin in the Columbian College. On the overthrow of the lawyer's test oath in West Virginia in 1571, Mr. "Wilson resigned his professorship and began the practice of law In Charleston, W. Va. lie left that profession after eleven years of active work. In l&sO he was a delegate to the national Democratic convention at Cin cinnati and was afterward chosen as an elector for the State at large on the Han cock ticket. He was permanent presiding officer of the national Democratic conven tion at Chicago in 1892. In 18S2 Mr. Wilson was selected as pres ident of the University of West Virginia, and began his duties Sept. 6; but on the 20th of the same month he was nominated as a candidate for the Forty-eighth Con gress on the Democratic ticket and was elected. He resigned the presidency of the university In June, 18S3. The same year he was created a doctor of laws by the Columbia College, and three years later was given the same honor by the Hamp-den-Sidney University. He was appointed regent of the Smithsonian Institution at "Washington in 1SS1. and was reappointed in 1SSG, serving two terms of two years each In the position. He was a member of the House of Representatives from 1SS3 to 18)5, but was defeated in the Republican land slide of 1894. Mr. Wilson was chairman of the com mittee on ways and means in the Fifty third Congress, and had charge of tho tariff bill which bore his name. As cham pion of that measure his name was brought very prominently before the people, and In the struggle over the Senate revision, his ability as a leader was further demon strated. He determinedly refused to accept the Senate revision, and in a speech on the floor of the House, about the middle of July, he caused to be read a letter from President Cleveland in which the chief executive denounced in unmistakable terms the measure which had passed the Senate. In this remarkable letter Mr Cleveland declared that the promoters of the Senate revision were dishonorable and traitorous to the Democratic party, but he expressed his approval of the act which had passed the House late in January of that year. It had not been In accordance with prece dent for an American President thus to intervene In the work of Congress, and in tense Indignation was aroused In the Sen ate. It was considered that the letter was meant to personally apply to Mr. Gorman, and that in the remainder of the struggle the question must be settled whether the Maryland senator or the occupant of the White House was to be the real leader of the Democratic party. It soon became evi dent that Senator Gorman and his friends were preparing themselves to carry their revision through in its totality or prevent any tariff legislation at all in that session of Congress. Senator Smith, of New Jer sey, and Senator Vest, of Missouri, also spoke in favor of this policy. The deadlock continuing in the confer ence room. Senator Hill, of New York, finally precipitated a crisis by moving that the Senate demand an immediate report from its conferees and resume possession of the bill. Mr. Wilson and the House ways and means committee had been seek ing to gain time with the hope of finally securing a compromise with the Senate. But matters were fast approaching the point where the Senate was certain to ter minate the conference and either to recon sider and defeat Its own measure or else to postpone the entire tariff question. At this Juncture Speaker Charles F. Crisp as sumed the management in the House, called a caucus of the Democratic members and secured a vote in favor of complete sur render and acceptance of the Senate Gor-man-Brice bill exactly as it had originally gone to the conference committee some live or six weeks previously. The House without delay acted on Speak er Crisp's caucus plan, and the tariff meas ure, which admittedly favored the sugar trust and the whisky trust, lacked only the signature of the President to -make it the law of the land. It was a victory for Mr. Gorman over President Cleveland. The House was compelled to swallow Its prin ciples under the plea of party necessity. Immediately after taking this action the House passed five or six small bills plac ing the products on the free list which the Gorman-Brlce revision had put on the dutiable list. It was a farcical proceed ing, for the bills, which were known as "popgun acts." amounted to nothing. It was in this way that Mr. Wilson saw the bill, which he had been largely In strumental in framing, totally deprived of its essential parts. leaving virtually none of the important provisions which he had so strongly urged. He knew that the Presi dent would not veto the bill, for Mr. Cleve land had intimated In the letter which Mr. YVi!on read before the House that it was perhaps all that could be expected under the circumstances. But In so strongly urging free trade and the passage of the tariff Mil as first reported to the House Mr. Wilson alienated a number of friends among hi3 constituents In West Virginia. so that he was defeatfd a a candidate for re-election in the falj of 1S91. . In February. ISIS, when Postmaster Gen eral BIssell resigned his office President Cleveland Immediately tendered the posi tion to Mr. Wilson, and on March 1 his nomination was confirmed by the Senate. Soon after the expiration of his term of oftio he was offered the presidency of Washington and Jxe University, which position he held until recently, when he retired on account of 111 health.
