Manager Jervis this morning .-dated that the first intimatiou he had that such action would be taken by tbe telephone company was when he was informed that the wire had been cut. He »ays the step was taken at the instance of the Western Union Telegraph Company, which virtually controls the telephone com pany, aud because of the increase In the business of the Mutual company. The same thing had been done in Ohio and In Newark, N. J., where Injunctions had been procured and the Mutual people allowed the use of the boxes. The managers of the i'ompany had been notified ami no doubt soma action would be taken within a few hours. W.T. Westbrook, manager of the tele phone exchange, stated iu reply to the questions of a reporter, that he had notified Manager Jervis several times that he was violating one ot the terms of the contract upou which the telephones are leased, but trouble was not obviated.

SOENEß OF H0EB0R IN A HOTEL. Particular» of the Burnln;; of tbe Newball House, Milwaukee—Exact Loss of Life Not Yet Known. Additional particulars of tbe burning of the NcWhall House, Milwaukee, received tbi* morning, tell a story of horror exceed ing even that of the burning of tbe South ern Hotel In St. Louis. In the building at the time was the Minnie Palmer troupe and Genera] Tom Thumb and his wife, both of whom made narrow escapes. Mrs. John Gilbert, only married two days, was burned to death. tier husband, a member of the Palmer troupe, Is thought to be dying. Many acts ot bravery are reported. The firemen bad great difficulty in raising ladders, owing to the network of tel« wires around the building. John F. AutUdel, principal proprietor,has gone crazy over tbe terrible affair. He ran up and down Michigan ntreet moaning and and crying, "Oh, oh? My God, who set that '•fire!*' Over his head was a black cloth. Whpn he came to tbe mangled body of one of his guests, his ravings were pitiful In the extreme; all efforts to soothe him failed. His sou und partner, James Antisdei, stood, on the street silent and undemonstrative during the fire, as If paralyzed by tUb horror. * THE OlilOIN OF THE FIRE. their egraph Shortly before 4 o'clock three alarms ol fire were sounded iu rapid succession. One was from box 439, corner of Viick and Eighteenth street«; another was a telephone alarm and then followed the ominous sig nal from box 15, this time signaliug that the Newball House was ou fire. When the firemen arrived on the scene it was fourni (hat the fire broke out in the South end of he huge six story building in either the fourth or fifth floor, starting from the South east corner ol the structure, It spread with lightning rapidity, and in It* deadly path human life vanished and dosen* of chirred Inxlie« marked its progress. Iu the twinkle of a moment the whole fire de partment, except tbe chemical engine, which was left to fight the fire on Eighteenth street, was called to the scene. A scene of the utmost terror prevailed. Tbe corridor* were filled with «ieuse «moke and half stupe fied persons were lying across the hallways, while the shriek» of women and the groan* of men filled the air. Those few who* ap peared on the scene did all they could to rescue the bewildered guests, and a great many were ta a' en out entrance and from running along the <»f the the small Broadway front of the building. The fire men went heroically, to work,but it was soon t PPM reut to all that efforts to save the build ing would be fruitless. Attention was then •iirectcd to getting the inmates out of tho building, but how unsuccessful they proved is shown by the appalling death-list. The "jumping'' cloth proved of little assistance. Abouta dozen unfortunates attempted to jump, but rebounded from the telegraph wires, a perfect mass of which surrouuded the two fronts of the building. Meantime the whole building had become enveloped in fiâmes, and terrific volumes of tire and smoke shot with lightning-like rapidity through tho roof and high up into the morning olr. The fire had started in the barement of the building near the eleva tor shaft, through which it had spread from floor to floor, ho that fiâmes were issuing from ail parts of the building at once. At 5 o'clock the hotel was a mass of roaring (lames, and before the relief engines from Chicago arrived ..he fire had spent its force and was under control. Regarding the origin of the fire Mr. An tisdcl said : The night watchman saw the fire first, but before be could do anything the flames shot up the elevator igniting every door. I was awakened by the noise and rushed out be lore the building filled with fiâmes and smoke and people flying lor their lives. After saving my wife i tried to 6ave othera. I met my father aud mother in their night clothes and tried to get them to leave the buildiinr, but father was apparently out of hi« head- He sold he was bound to go into th«* flames to save the building, hut by orce I got him into the street, and being afraid that If I let him go he would again enter the the flames, conducted him by force dowu Michigan street. When near the alley some fell from the upper floor to the ground i few feet away and caused him to bPtetne frenzied. front oklcony THE DEAD AND WOUN'DXD.
