ff 7 At 8 o'clock another fatal tire was raging In
m V. A.Mena Co.'s wholesalo candy anu fancy
i goods house, a square above tbe Boone Paper
W Co. '3 building. 'I ho origin is a mystery.
m Forty girls were at work wrapping candy on
cj (bo fourth floor and all were not able to
m escaoc.
W Tho fire was out at 11 o'clock and tbe work
If of taking out the bodlos began. The bodies
I of six girls have already been taken out,
burned beyond Identification.
a. T. Menn, brother of tho senior member
ot the firm, Is supposed to have been burned
to death. 1 be lire cut off escape by tbo
stairway leading to the fourth floor, where
the glrla were at work.
Many Jumped from tbo windows to a second-story
projection and escaped with broken
limbs and bruised bodies, others got out un-
" i hurt.
IV i cnixr BCaiiKS hurt.
To add to the casualties and the confusion
I Major Hughes, Chief of tho Klre Department,
I ' was so badly hurt lu an accident early this
rl morning that he may not recover.
I He and Henry Weatherwood, the Chief's
1 assistant, started up market street to what
J seemed a big Are. Thoy bappened to get on
J -tho wrong side of the street, as Major Hughe i
I ' ? htmwlf states.
I, ' Tho salvage corps wagon ran into their
r buggy as they wero rapidly driving up the
II north side of the street and almust literally
II ran over them. Tbo buggy was smashed and
l the horses trampled on both Chief Hughes
f, and Weatherford.
U Tho lattcr's wrist was badly hurt, but whon
f tbo inlet called out tor help and that be was
1 badly hurt, Weatherford was unable to go to
I bis assistance. Major Hughes was taken to
I I bis bed, and the doctors fear trouble on oc-
i count of erysipelas. Weatherford, with a
V badly damaged and much bandaged hand,
1 was able to be at the 8 o'clock fire.
Going to the fire the No. 13 engine ran Into
, thepavemotit at Twelfth street and Droad-
Jl I way, throwing off Engineer Jim Nuttall,
ri hurting bis back and probably crippling him
I I tor life.
I 1 Pat shea, a member ot the No. 1 nook and
I i Ladder Company, was at work on the bulld-
lng occupied by Frank A. Menn Co. He
Tf ' started to fall, but grabbed at the broken
It skylight. He Baved himself from probably a
(il fatal plunge, but nearly sovered bis hand
m from his arm at tbe wrist.

Member on Utiles.
BT ASSACtATXD VBtM.1
WAttmxriTOX, Dec o. In the Houso to-day,
after the approval of the Journal of ye tter
day's proceedings, tbe Committee appointed
to wait upon tbe President, through Its
chairman, Mr. Blount, of Georgia, Informed
the speaker that It had performed tbe duty
Imposed upon It, and that tbe President
would send a communication In writing this
morning.
A recess was taken tor fifteen minutes.
Alter the recess Doorkeeper Turner per
formed his first public duty In bis new Held
of labor, by announcing the presence of Mr.
I'ruden, one ot the President's secretaries.
Mr. I'ruden delivered tbe annual Message of
tbe President which was Immediately read
by the Clerk.
The reading ot the annual Message In tbe
House never received much attention, and
this one proved no exception to the general
rule. Many ot tho members left the hall, and
thoso who remained attended to their corre
spondence or engaged In merry and at times
hilarious conversation.
The only men who showed any Interest
were Messrs. Herbert, of Alabama; Miller, or
Wisconsin, and Otis and Simpson, of Kansas.
On tbo completion of the roadlng the mes
sage was, on motion of Mr. Outhwolte, ot
Ohio, referred to tho Committee ot the Whole
and ordered printed.
Mr. Miller, ot Wisconsin, ottered a resolu
tion requesting the Speaker In appointing
tho committees to apportion the same among
the several states and Territories according
to population ana to appoint at least a chair
man from each state and Territory.
Mr. MUllkcn, ot Maine, sarcastically ex
pressed the hope that the Speaker would not
be embarrassed by any new rules.
On motion ot Mr. Holman tho resolution
was referred to Committee on Rules when
appointed.
On motion of Mr. Holman tho Mouse then
adlourned until Saturday, with tho under
standing that a further adjournment should
be then taken until Wednesday.
IN THE SENATX.
In the Senate, immediately after tho read
ing ot the Journal, Mr. Sherman, from the Joint
committee to wait on the President and inform
him that Congress was ready to receive any
communication be might choose to make, re
ported that tho committee had performed
that duty, and had been informed that tho
President would send a communication in
writing.
Ten minutes afterwards tbe annual mes
sage of tho President was presented by Mr.
Pruden, one of his secretaries, was laid be
fore tho Senate and was read by Mr. Mccook,
Its Secretary.
Tho reading of tbe message closed at 1.4R,
having consumed exactly an hour and a halt.
It was listened to throughout with close In
terest and attention by Senators and by a
small audlonco In tho galleries, comprising
flo gentlemen who occupied seats In tho
Diplomatic Gallery and who left as soon as
the message began to treat of exclusively do
mestic matters.
The messago was ordered to bo laid on tho
table and printed, and then the Senate ad
journed until to-morrow.
Gossip About Committees.
IrrrriAL to thk woRt.n.t
Washington, Dec o Talk about tho prob
able formation ot Speaker Crisp's Committees
has been moie full ot immediate Interest here
than tbe President's Message, the reading of
which absorbed tho attention of both Houses
to-day.
Tho Commlttoe on Ilulcs Is the first to be
named, and It Is likely that Springer or Hol
man will be chairman, with McMUUn or Mills
as the second Democrat and ex-Speaker
Reed as the Republican member.
As to tbe Ways and Means Cotnmltteo
earlier gossip all had It that Mr. Mills would
return to the Chairmanship which he held In
tbe Fiftieth Congress.
There is to-day, however, heard the expres
sion ot an Idea tbat the conservative Crisp
will not be willing to trust tbe Texas man to
lead tho Houso on the tariff question. It Is
hinted tbat Mr. MeMUIln may be deemed tho
safer man for this Important post- .
Judge Holman Is mentioned In connection
with tbe Appropriations chairmanship.
As tor tbe Colnago Committee, It Is Insisted
on one band that it will again be beaded by
Bland. On tbe other that that gentleman
has cut himself out by bis own course In the
late struggle.
other speculations Include tbe following
chairmanships ot leading House Committees:
Agriculture, Mr. Hatch, ot Missouri; Post
offices and Post-ltoads, Mr.Blount.of Georgia;
Rivers and Harbors, Mr. Blancbard, of Louisi

It Is not credited.
Mr. Mills refuses to notice It one way or the
other. He Is bitterly disappointed becauso of
his failure In the Speakership race, and being
an Impulslvo man ho may conclude to retire
from tho Houso at once. He has not, how
ever, so far as can be learned, confided such

AS A HUMAN SHIELD.
Olork Laidlaw Claims Sago Used
H'ni for That Purpose
Was He Dragged Between the
Broker and the Dynamiter?
Mr. SntfO Emphatically Denies that
Ho Wna The Itomb-Thrower
Not .1. II. Phillips.
A queir story of some of tho circumstances
attending the bomb explosion in Russell
Sage'i office Is told by W. H. Laidlaw, the
clci k for John Ilkxxlgood & Co., who Is still at
St. Vincent's Hospital under treatment tor
tho Injuries which ho received on tbat occa
sion. According to Mr. Laidlaw, the banker only j
escaped serious Injury, and perhaps death,
by shoving blm (Laidlaw), between himself
and the bomb-thrower at the Instant tbe ex
plosion l ok place.
In other words, RukscII Sage Is accused of
having made the pour clerk a sort of n buffer
to protect himself against the threatened as
sault ut the cra?y d) nnmiter.
Mr. Sago was talking to tho man, Laidlaw
say, when ho entered the onice. The banker
bcemed to bo very nmous and scared, and
was pale and trembling.
As soon as he saw Laidlaw, according to
the latter, bo grasped him by tbe hand and
shook It warmly, tolling him he was delighted
to Bee blm, and asking him to walk right Into
his private ofnee.
As Mr. Sago bad never before even deigned
to notice the humble broker's clerk, tbo latter
was dumfouuded by tbls exhibition of
cordiality.
rsmi Tnn clerk' as a sniELP.
Tho banker bad grabbed Laidlaw 's hand so
tightly tbat It hurt, and the latter tried to
wrench It away. .Mr. Wage began to go back
ward towards the entrance of hlsprlvato
office, dragging Laidlaw with htm and keep
lug him between himself and tho bomb
thrower. It was at tbls moment, Mr. Laidlaw Is re
ported as saying, that the explosion took
place, and the clerk received the full forco ot
the thock In his back and hide, while Mr.
Sage escaped with a tow scratches about tho
bead and face.
The Injuries received by Laidlaw, tbe hos
pital surgeon sajs, aro all on his back and
side, showing that he stood with his back to
the bomb-thrower when the explosion took
place.
HU8SF.U. BAOF DENIES IT.
Mr. Sago denies this story, and says that
when he had handed back the typo-written
document which tho dynamiter presented to
blm be stepped backward to his office, when
Mr. Laidlaw camo forward to hand a messago
to blm.
He says be did not take Laldlaw's hand, or
even receive tho paper which ho extended to
blm, lor tbo explosion came so suddenly tbat
be cad no tlmo to say or do anything.
BATS LAIDLAW WASN'T BETWKEN T71EM.
Ho also says tbat Laidlaw did not stand be
tween himself and tbe bomb-thrower, al
though tho clerk bad his back turned to the
latter at that mommt.
Mr. Sage himself was blown full ot pieces
of glass and splinters, and Dr. Munn spent
two or three hours afterwards lu picking
the bits out ot his body.
The Identity of tho bomb-thrower, whoo
head Is still on exhibition at the Morgue, has
not yet been established, although seienil
more persons bavo declared tbat they bavo
recognized him.
THE UVNAUITXR'S IDENTITY.
An attempt was made last night to Identify
tho head as that of John Herbert Phillips,
formerly it bookkeeper In tbe Hanover Na
tional Bank In this city, who was delected In
some petty peculations about two years aao,
and who lied to the West.
Seu'ralnt tho clerks In tho Hanover Bank
thought they recognized In the nowspaperl
portraits ot the djuauilter a resemblance to
Phillips.
Mr. Massey, who was a clerk In the bank at
tho samu time with Phillips, and knew him
well, went to the Morgue last night, uut
failed to Identity the beau.
The photograph of Phillips does not at nil
resemble the bomb-thrower. Phillips's mother
is said to be demented. He has not been seen
in this city slnco he went WeBttwo years ago.
" THE IVENINO WOltl D'S " riCTl'KE A HOOD
LIEENESS.
Mrs. Russoll Sage said to a reporter who
called at her homo that her husband bad re
marked that Tut livtNiNO World's picture
ol the head of the bomb-thrower was the best
likeness of the man he had seen, and alsotbat
be denied having positively Identified a pho
tograph of Phillips as that of tbe dynamiter.
He bad detected a Blight luclal resemblanco,
but tnat was all.
col. siocum lso Btatod that Tux Evknino
World's picture was an accurate likeness of
tbo dead dvnamlter. 'J here Is no resemblanco
In that picture to the photograph of Phillips.
E. L. wehton, a broker who had called at
tho house to ask about Mr. sage's condition,
declared thu Phillips was not the man.
" I think 1 can judge," he addLd, " becauso I
sat alongsld ) of the fellow In Mr. Sagu's big
ofilco Just before the explosion.
"The man had a narrow, hatchet-shaped
toco, and he (truck me as being an American."

and said ho camo from Halifax, appeared In
that city last September, and tola a number
ot people that Russell baguowed blm more
than a million dollars.
He laid be would only hau to ask Sage for
this money and ho would get It. This sum,

Examinations for Polico Surgeon
Bhips Suddenly Postponed.
Said to Be Because of a ''Deal"
by Big Politicians.
Denials by Commissioner Ollroy and
Secretary Lee 1'hllllpt.
A story alleging Interference by the leaders
of Tammany Hall with tho workings of tho
Clill-Servlce law In this city is going tho
rounds to-day, and It Is said that there arc
not ii few physicians In tho city who would
freo their minds with vigorous words It they
dared.
'I hero aro now four vacant police surgeon
ships at an annual salary of t'J.'JaO each, and
110 pbyslclms sent In their applications
when tho Chll service Commission adver
tised that an examination was about to be
held.
Tbo 110 physicians wero notified Dec. 1
that the cxamlnat on was set down for Tucs.
da) at 0 a. i , and Secretary lee Phillips, ut
tho Clill-Serilco Hoard, was reported to haio
everything tn readiness for It at the rooms In
Cooper I'nlon.
To their great surprise, however. In the
last mill delliery Monday night each candi
date received a postal card nutlf)lng blm
that the xamluallou had been postponed
until Doc l.".
These notices wero signed, Lee Phillips,
Chief Examlnor.
As the story goes Public Works Commis
sioner Thomas I. Gllroy called upon Chief
Examine: Phillips Monday and told Mm to
postpone the examination.
" By whose authority ?" Mr. Phillips 1 said
to have asked.
A table (rum Mayor Grant," was Mr. Gll
roy's nllegcd answer.
h), Mayor C.nnt has benn on the ocean
five da)s," Mr. Phillips is alleged to haxo
exclaimed.
' Never mind, you must postpono the ex
amination," Mr. t.llroy credited with
answering.
Then thostorv goes on to say that the ex
amination was postponed becauso of a deal by
which tho illg Four of Tommany was to
evade tho Clvll-scnlec law and divide tho
pollco surgeon appointments between thctn-
EClC!.
Secroiory Phillips was seen at tbe Civil
Servlco Hoard's rooms In Cooper Union.
"In the first place," said he, "thero are
only three pollie surgeons to be appointed,
and Instead of ono hundred and forty thero
aro about an even hundred candidates.
11 It Is true we had called an examination
for Tuesday, but tbo examination papers
were not all ready, and I had received an In
timation that Mayor Grant would prefer tbat
the examinations be not held until alter his
return. So I sent out notices postponing tho
examination, which Is not at all an unusual
proceeding.
"There was nothing said about a cable from
Mayor Gront or about bis having been on tbe
ocean five days. That part ot the story Is
untrue."
" Who conveyed the Intimation that Mayor
Grant desired the pool postponement! Was It
Commissioner Gllroy ?"
"That I would rather not say, but every
thing was as straight as a string. When tbat
Intimation was couvejed to me I remembered
that mere than a year ago we held an exami
nation for pollco surgeons, and the list of
ellglbles lapsed because thero was no requisi
tion for names.
"At that tlmo Mayor Grant said It was
useless expense, and casually remarked tbat
beforo we called another examination of such
Importance ho would prefer that I should
consult with him.
"I had forgotten this conversation and
when a requisition w as mado for the names of
three physicians I called an examination.
"Only two or three physicians, who did not
happen to be borne when their nottco ot post
ponement arrived, came yesterday to lake
the examinations, but I guess they are all
satisfied."
" They aro not In a position to mako any
complaint, are tbey t"
"Well, they might not consider It wise, as
they are applicants for Important arpolnt
mcuts." "You are dependent upon the Mayor for the
position you bold yourself, are you nutl"
" Yes, my commission can be revoked at
bis pleasure. But I want to say thai Mayor
Grant has always Impressed upon me the
necessity ot this ofilce carrying out not only
the letter, but tbo spirit of tho law, and Mr.
Gllroy and other lammany leaders have also
shown the tamo desire to have the conduct
of this office above reproach.
" Thero Is no chanco for fraud In these ex
aminations. The host men always go nl tho
head oi the list, veterans ot tbo war having
I he preft renco of course, and thero Is nothing
to be gatned b) the postponement."
" If the list ol ellglbles Is not eatlsfactory
to tbe Tammany leaders, howcui, tne) can
wait a year until the list lapses, when an-
i othtr examination will be necessary and iho
' men they want may then come to the lop,
may the) not?"
Will, j is, but that is not a practicable
proceeding."
