FATAL FLA3IES.

A TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. Eighteen Persona Burned in a Brooklyn Charity Home. , THE SICKENING SCENE. IMPRISON MKST WITHIN BRICK WALLS WITH OUT AST MEANS OF ESCAPE HEROIC CON DUCT OF THK "LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR" A SORROWFUL SEARCH FOR THE BODIES OF THK DEAD. The New York Sun of Wednesday givea this graphic pen pkture of the fire in the Brooklyn Charity Home: At twenty min utes to 4 o'clock yesterday morning an early riser in East Brooklyn eaw smoke arising from the east wing of the Home for the Aged, conducted by the Little Sis-t:-rj of the Poor, in Bush wick avenue, near De Kalb place. Soon a knot or men were banging at tbe gate of tbe yard of the building tot awake th6 Sisters. Tbe gate was chained and bolted tight. One man scaled the fence nd Dulled vigorously at the aoor-Deu un til the sintere, who were sleeping in tbe frame building apart from tbe Home, were awakened. Sister Mary of the Apostles aroused the other sisters. In tbe far wing of the building were 73 men asleep. Be tween tbia wlDg, which is an extension 70 feet long, and the part oi tbe Duiiding usei for old women, is a chapel, constructed with tbe IJome. and intended to divide the two departments. Tbe entire buildlrjg is of brick, and is about 150 feet long by 50 feet wide, and it is three stories hieb. The first floor of the male wing, excluding me cnapei, was made up ef a dining room tbe whole width of tbe building, a smoking room and a shoe snop in irons oi me jar.nesi room, and a men's sleeplpg room In tbe rear of these two. On tbe second floor was a sleeping room with an adjoining Infirmary, and on the third floor was a corresponding sleeping room, with a smaller room corresponding to tbe infirmary, which was used aa the sleeping room for the more decrepit. The chapel runs to tbe roo', and beyond it are the sleeping APARTMENTS OF THE FEMALE LNMATK8. Behind the- gallery of the chapel was a small sleeping room, occupied by two of the Sisters who are appointed to watch tbe sick in the infirmary. There were 188 in mates in tbe home, all of them over sixty years of age. Of tbeeetever-tj-three were mer. The fire was first seen shooting up bv tbo smoking room, both inside and out of the brick walls. There were eight men sleeping on the first floor near tbe fire, lit teen were up stair, paralyzed, sick and diseased, in the infirmary, and there were fifty others on tbe second and third floors, and in tbe room on tbe third floor corresponding to tbe infirmary. All of these were sleeping in ignorance oi the fire when the sisters rushed through the building. Sisters Gregory and Maxlande were asleep in tbe room close by the Infirmary when Sister Gatienne knocked at their door and screamed fire. It was twenty minutes past four before the fire engines turned on tbe Btreams. Tbe alarm had been sent into police headquarters, and in re.elegrapbing signal "4" was made "42," and this made delay. The firemen bad gone right to work without learning that there were filly odd old men msiae ot the Duiiuing. EFFORTS TO RESCUE THE IS MATES. Sister Gutlenne, who had distanced those who hurrlod with her, called to Sis ter Dougherty in the chapel bedroom, and darting through the gallery of the chapel, unlocked tbe door and cried to the men, "Come this way." The smoke was filling the room, but she could see tbe moping forms of tbe old men trying to help tnem selves. An old blind man was at tbe foot of tbe steps. She, with another sister, led him out through the chapel ' gallery into the female wards. The other sisters, with almost unaccountable strength, took from. their beds tbe helpless and paralyzed men, carrying tbem into the dormitories. As soon as tbe last sick man was safely out tbe sisters ran up another flight of stairs to tbe corresponding sleeping room and besan to show the men out of tbem. A tew stopped to dress and turned to go Into tbe large sleep ing room. They were lost. The men on the first floor were the first to get' out side, but two who were feeblest and who stopped to put on their clothes were over come by smoke, lney Duriea tneir isces in the bed clothing to avoid suffocation, and never raised them again. On tbe second floor a soou as tbe men were aroused they helped each other out of bed, and hurried down the siairway partly dressed. One of the sister had unlocked the outside door, and there was none who reached the st airs who were not able to get out. In the third floor the men were not awakened until tbe smoke had filled the rooms. Then they heard the crackling fire and were afraid to venture our. Two climbed up to the roof, and one was so terrified that he seemed unable to do anything but stand still and screech. His companion palled him along until they reached tbe west end of the building, where THE FIREMEN CAME TO THEIR RESCUE. Michael Cummings, an Irishman, 78 years old, stopped to put on Ms clothes, and when he was leady the lower part of the stairs had burned. He went to the rear window and pitifully screamed, "Save me, for the love of God save me, or I'll burn up." A Mr. Donohue placed a ladder against tbe wall, but its top reached only to within lour leet of Cuminings when he lowered himself by his arms. The men below cried to him to get a sheet and let himself down to the ladder, but his strength was too far gone. His hold re laxed, and he fell Into the stone area below with a heavy thud. He was picked up dead. There was tbe mingled noise ot the rush and splash of tbe streams of water and the deep groans of the dying men. The flames were climbing up the front and the side of the building, driving heat and smoke into tbe sleeping rooms. Those Inside of tbe prison ot flra ooald only bary their faces in their hands a ad die. The most tbe firemen could do for those who bad not escaped was to deluge the top floor with water to keep some from being burned. Around tbe building the old men were standing or lying on tbe grass, watching the flames, and sobbing as they beard the moans of their dying compan ions. No sight could bo more pitiful tnan the picture they presented. Soma rocked their bodies to and fro, .muttering prayers; others wrappel what clothing they had about tbem and lay down ss if to die: mere hobbled tremblingly around the building, watching the windows with anxious looks to see if tbeir companions were in sight.

As the police marched them off to neighboring families, they seemed loth to go. A HALF HOUR'S TERRIBLE WORK. In a half hour the groans ceas9d, and all was quiet, except tbe crackling fire and tbe splashing water. The flames burned straight to the roof, and as the ratters and burned bodies fell, tbe lall was signalled by a shooting shower of sparks. Then tbe flames were driven down by degrees, and at half past five o'clock there was nothing but smouldering wood In the cellar, and blackened rafters linked the walls together. At six tbe engines went away. The gate to tbe borne had been thrown open, and the women and men flocked Into tbe streets. The police, under Sergeant Dunn, took the Infirm to the houses near by. At one residence the poor were not slowed to cross the threshold because they were Catholics. Sixteen were sent to St. John's College, and 28 women were sent to the Orphan Atylum. As soon as men con Id venture within the walls, search for tbe dead was begun. On the first floor lay the charred remain 9 of two men who had died face down on their beds. The clothing was burned off each one, tbe features were obliterated, and pieces of tbe husks from tbe Distresses were BAKED WITH THE FLESH. In pulling over tbe debris of tbe cellar two more dead bodies were found, blackened beyond recognition. One body fell in pieces when it was taken up. Tbe remains were laid in a row in tbe yard, and as fast as they were dragged out tbe Sisters brought armsful of sheets to wrap

tbem In. On the second floor were lour bodies. One was Bitting upright in a chair. Another was on the floor with tbe facedown, the distorted limbs revealing the agony of death. Two others were across the iron bedsteads, where they had evlflentiv thrown themselves. They were all bnrned to a black coal. On tbe top floor nine bodies were found, and only one of them was recognizable. One old man Conrad Rand man. aged seventy-eight, staid to put on his boots and ail ot his clothing. He lived the longest, and being near the rear of the building had thrown himself on bis face in a corner. His clothing was partly burned, but his features were untouched. The bodies were low ered by ropes from tbe third floor. GAPEN'S GAME. A WABASH AND ERIE MUDDLE. CANAL HOW AN EASTERN POOL TRIES TO SET THINGS UP AND THE SCHEME IS SWAMPED BY LOCAL COMMON SENSE. A fresh chaDter of that serial story en titled, "The State's Elephact; or, the Wa bash & Erie Canal," is now ready for publication. I'd riles wishing copies will please send in their orders at once to this office. Tbe individual who has risen to prominence in transacting the aöalrs of the Eastern holders or this canal stock, and has always been regarded as the highest trump in the Jack, is Jonathan K. Gapen. Brother onathsn has been tbe unselfish means oi securing the payment by legislature of 60, 000 worth of interest on canal script, and for years has guarded tbe well being ot bis constituents. When the sale was sdverelsad Mr. Gapen was on band. Nobody else dared to come in competition with the august representative of so much EASTERN STOCK IN THE ELEPHANT. Mr. Gapen bid on the canal land. Ue bid fS5,900 for the lot and he took it in. Everybody knew this money was bid by an Eastern pool but the combination was too strong to be resisted. Tbe pur chase was made on these ter nit: One-tenth was to be paid in cash when the sale should be confirmed by the District Court, the balance to be paid in a term of years with interest, secured ot course by mortgage on the lands. The sale had no soooer been enacted than Mr. Gapen made It known to alleged speculators along the line of tbe course that he would be pleaded to have a conference with them in n s city on the 7th day oi March, and tn Hotel Bates was mentioned as tbe rendez vous. it was pretty wen known mac ne had some scheme to propose relative to a sale of tbe elephant. In answer to the summons quite a number of possible buy era were on hand yester day from Lojjansport, Terre Haute, iron wayne and other points, in an aooui a dozen. Tbey were approached by Mr, Garen with the offer to sell tbe elepht.nl lor fllo.ooo, lust 530,000 above the price at which he had made the purchase. The proposition was not received, as it were, with cheers, uniidren am not cry lor it with any alarming degree of gusto. It was conceded on tbe first ballot that the East ern pool was altogether too extravagant and nonsensical in Its demand. Mr. Gapen TRIED TO GREASE THE WHEEL to the best of bis ability, but before evening he retired to the privacy of his room with a pain in his head, and refused to be comforted. The gentlemen who came In answer to his call were willing lo pay reasonable price lor the lands, even a fair bonus on tbe purchase rate to tbe E istern pool, but they very properly re carded this proposition as i palpable attempt to bleed tbem and refused to negotiate. As the matter now stands. Mr. Gapen holds the elephant with the prospect ot paying the cash par tial payment when the connrmauon is announced, and the prospective purchasers have nearly all returned home, determined to have no dealings with the pool till the i at 93 were cut down.

PIRATES.

New York Bay Freebooters Come ! to Grief. HOW IT HAPPENED. TOO MUCH BEER AND A LAVISH SHOW OF MONET GAVE A CLUE FOB A SHARP PIECE OF DETECTIVE WORK IDENTIFTINO THE OUTLAWS. The pirates who have, for a long time, plied tbeir nefarious vocation in New York bay and vicinity, have at last got Into tbe bands of tbe officers of tto law. The Sun of Wednesday says: Captain Wtl lis dd s of the Oak street police, has captured three of tbe p rates who bad robbed five schooners In tbe bay cn Saturday morning, and they are in the Tombs awaiting trial. Tbe arrests were brilLantly achieved, and followed one an other so rapidly that it is thought not one of the desperadoes can escape. Tbe first tblng taat attracted Captain Wil liam's eye. on opening tbe Sun on Sunday morning, was tbe account of tbe piratical exploits or a gng or robbers in the harbor on the preceding morning. The fact Instantly flashed into his -mind that several well known river thieves bsd been seen In the liquor ea'oons of his precinct on Satuiday suspiciously flush with money, and that they were known to fcave disposed ot clothing and other articles corresponding to what had been stolen from tie schooners. That was sufflcitat clew, and Immediately Capt. Williams set to work. Tue river thieves who had baen so free with tbeir money on Saturday were John L)wery, Charlie Mjers, alias Jim Ward, alias Waddy, and Matty Ryan. Ryan is a common thief, who is supposed to have bsen chosen by THE LEADERS OF THE GANG, who wanted help, as a man who could be trusted by them, altbough not one of their regular pals. The- otbets belonged to the notorious gang of robbers and murderers that formerly hd its headquaitsrs at James slip and Water street, known as Slaughter House Point. Saul and Howlitt, who were hanged on Bedloe's Island some years ago for piracy and murder committed on board a schooner anchored off Staten Island, wera members ot the same deparat9 gang, and Lowery was one ot tbeir partners. Waddy bad served a term of ten years in state's prisor. for burglary In For Ibaoi. He has been out ol prison only about six months. Lowery has served two term in state's prison one for robbery, and ths other for piracy. He was a pal of "Putsij" Conroy and Larry Grifllo, the n.asked burglars o! Catsklll, who were Bent to fcUts's prison some tune ago. Bvan has been three years in state's pr'sia for tUbbinga man ARRESTING THE MEN. Knowing the desperate characterof tbe men he sougnr, especially Liowery ana S Waddy, who, he say, ard two of tbe worst criminals in New York, Capt. Williams felt sure that he was on the right track. The search began on Sunday morning, and at half past two o'clock in tbe afternoon Waddy was round at rse. y Elizabeth street, n John KODinson's liquor saloon, and was arrested by Captain W illiams and Officers Muszrave and Kennelly.- ibree hours later Lowery was arrested at No, 16 Bata via street, where be was witn nis nr stress. and at 7 o'clock Kyan was cap lured in liauor saloon at No. 99 James street. .The men made no resistance when arrested, but appeared t3 be much disconcerted. Tney were taken to the Oak street police station and confronted with some of the oiucers and crews of the schooners that had been robbed. In order ts Becura tbeir identification beyond a doubt, Captain Williams masked their faces with a handkerchief in the manner in which the pirates had been maskee When this was done tbe prisoners showed considerable trepidation, and trembled, apparently from tear of being discovered Captain Benjamin Wood, of the schooner Highlands. Identified .Lowery as the man who had awed h'm with a pistol while tbe robbery was going on in his vessel. He also identified a large, rusty, five-cbam bered Colt revolver found on Liowery as the weapon whose muzzle, staring him In the face, had frightened him into submis sion. Captain Wood also Identified Low ery as the man who had taken the light from tbe rigging of the Highlands and brought it Into the cabin to enable the pirates to see to do tbeir work. IDENTIFICATION MADE CERTAIN. Alfred Wilson, tbe steward of tbe schooner Samuel Wood, positively idea tilled Waddy. or Myers, who was also identified by Capt. Booye of the schooner Chamberlain as tbe man who had stolen his coat. This was found In possession ot Cornelius Mack, a "tülor," of 39 Baxter street, to whom Waddy hard sold It on Saturday, and who was locked up on bus plcion ot being an accomplice oi the pirates. Waddy has scars and a large wen on his neck which served to identiiy bim. aod the ends or his long blonde moutsache hung below the handkerchief used as mask lust as they are alleged to have done od the night ot tbe robbery. John Bronanda, tbe first officer of tbe schooner Samuel wood, identified Kyan ts the man who climbed Into his bunk and searched It. Captain Charles D. Alley of the schooner Ceres, also identified Kyaa as one ot tbe pirates who boarded bis vessel two weeks ago, Besides tbe coat belonging to Capt. Booye the overcoat stolen from Capt. Darby, aod a pair ot pantaloons belonging to the rrut9 of the schooner Aieinea were iounu traced to the prisoners, and Identified by their owners. The boat used by th pirates was also hunted up. Itisanordi nary working skill 19Jeet long, and Cap Williams says it would not seat comion ably more than six men. He feels confl dent that there were not more than five robbers in it. besides the boatman, and that no other boat was used. It was hired by the pirates at about 3 A. m. on Satur day, at pier 4, North river. Tbey pre tended that tbey wished to visit Com man paw on business, bat after getting out into tbe bay far enough to be In no danger from an outcry tbey coerced tee boatman by threats into becoming thei unwilling accomplice. WADDI'S CONDUCT. Waddv is believed to be the man who appeared to be the leader of the pirates and who was called by them "Captain Jim." His conduct on the schooners is described av particularly atrocious. He repeatedly struck the captain of the Aiethea without provocation, and wanted to kill him. He also threatened to kill ttie keeper of tbe powder boat Sally aad Sophy, but was prevented from doing so the keeper said, by a "nice little lellow. This merciful pirate Is supposed to have been Kyao, is rather small and trimly built, and only 23 years old. Waadv is 35 vears old. and ol Irish parentage, which corresponds with the assertion of the pow

der boat keeper, made to the detective!, that the larte man talked like au

rlsbman. Waddy left his overcoat In ths cabin of the Aletbea, when the approach of daylight cacssd bim and bis comranons to beat a hasty retreat. Capt. Wil liams is confided of being a hie to capture tbe other members of tbe gang very soon. His detectives were on their track yettsrday, but up tb a late honr last night tbey had made no arres'sv Tbe - prisoner will have an examination in tbe Tombs at 2 p M. to-day. Klyer thieves on Saturday morning boarded the sloop Thomas Ad ams, belonging to Mr. Fitcb, of Klngtt n, which was laid up for tbe winter at Mott Maven, and fiudiDg it unguarded, broke pen tbe cabin door and carried away cordage and other property to the value of 1150. It is thought possible that tbe t hives may have been connected with tbe piratical gang that attacked tbe schooners in tbe bay on the same night. DOWN TO DEATH. A Baltimore & Ohio Train Precipi tated Through a Shenandoah Valley Bridge FRIGHTFUL FATALITY. ELEVEN PASSENOERS KILLED AND M ANT WOUNDED -FULL LIST OF THE SUFFER E RS THE RAILROAD DENOUNCED. The Baltimore special of the Chicago Times gives these additional details of tbe terrible railroad wreck on tbe Baltimore A Ohio line near there: Last night about 11 o'clock a horrible railroad accident, resulting in the death of 11 persons and the maiming ot several more, occurred on tbe Harper's Ferry tranch of the Balti more a umo railroad, about sixty miles from tbis city. A way-freight with a passenger car at ached was on its ay north, and when crossing the bridge over the Shenandoah valley, at a narrow passage, tbe bridge gave way, the whole train rushing itti tbe river beow. Tbe bridge was a wooden structure, built since tbe war, and which tbe company had Intended to replace with an iron oha during this spring. The following is a LIST OF THE KILLED AND WOUNDED: Killed F. Donovan, engineer, Sandy Hook; W. Chapman and F. Jeffer son, brakemen, Winchester; W. A. Wightman, Edinburgh; C. L. Noel and R. E. Hammond, Mount Jackson; R. L. Wood, Alexandria. Va.; C. d. Hodgson, Berke ey Spring, a member of the west Vir ginia legislature; J. A. Baldwin, Balti more; W illiam uaus, Winchester, va.; A. C. Bowers, Baltimor ine wounded, as far as learned, are J. aelbert, New Market; J. Houn, Woodfctock; M. Bld, Mount JacksoD; H. C. Baker, Baltimore; Ber nard Hughes. Wisconsin; J. Kussell and T. Cumming. PHYSICIANS AND NURSES WERE SUMMONED to the scene of tbe accident by the authori ties of the company, and did everything in their power to relieve the suffering. Such an accident has not occurred on tbe Balti more A Ohio tor some time.' and tbe greatest excitement prevails in the city. The lists of tbe dead and woonded are nosted from the newspaper offices, and friends of tbe unfortunates are gathered In crowds about tbem. Those living In tbe city were all of tbem drum mer lor large nouses, on iceir way home. The scene of tbe accident has been visited oy crowos to-aay. a num ber of tbe cars had telescoped in toe ais aster, and were piled np together at the bottom of the vaiiey. i ne oooies oi tnose llvlnz here were brought to Camden sta tion this morninz. The others were taken to Winchester. Va.. to await tbe arrival of friends. Tbe BO-ca!ied bridge was a tres tiework over a branch of tbe Shenandoah river, where tbe stream was through a deep ravine, the structure being 132 feet in height and about 200 feet long. It is said tbat it was condemned about two years since, and at the time of tbe accident was undereoioe repairs. The location was about 63 miles south of Harper's Ferry. Wben tbe accident occurred tte passengers were all asleep. Mr. Henry C. Baker, the onlv Ralilmorean who escaped with his life, was a brother ot William Baker, and City councilman irom the Fifteenth and sixteenth wards oi this city. He was brousht to the city, arriving at 10:40 to-night, lie says tbe first sensa tions were those of a horrible nightmare; the sensation of falling, awaking from a deeD sleeo. seemed as hours to him. Then a terrible shock, and a long period of un consciousness; then AWAKINQ TO THK TKRRIBLK REALITY with a broken thigh and a dislocated shoulder. Dr. Carter, of Washingtan, was detailed by the railroad company to ac csnrpany tbe remains to Baltimore. As soon as tbe information was receivsd that the bodies of Mr. Baldwin and Bover, of this city, were to be brought on, crowds of curioeity-seekera and relations of tbe deceased flocked to tbe depot, and wben the train arrived the crowd was so great and excitement so Intense tbat it was with difficulty tbat tbe in in red man could be removed from tbe train. The bodies ot Bild win and Bover were taken charge of by tbeir frienda. and removed to tbeir late reel dence. Mr. Baker was ramoved to bis borne. No. 228 Barre street, and attended bv two physicians, who were retained by the family; sIbo by tbe company's physician, Dr. Claegett, ot tbis city. Tbe eager populace tbronged the street wit tin a luuareof the residence of the injured man. and many gained access to tbe house, which bad to be cleared by the police. At the house tbe scene was most impressive. Tbe family, wbo bad only a partial knowl edge of tbe injuries, were aöected to tears, and tbe agony ot the injured man became so great tbat the physicians ordered their removal. ORB AT INDIGNATION PREVAILS among members of the press at tbe gin gerly manner in which the account of the ac cident was dealt out to tbem by the railroad officials. When tbe information reached the reporters they repaired tD Camden sta tion and. crxeatly to their surprise, found what thev called tbe facts of the case. Drenared in manifold form, for each of the city papers; but it was impossible to procure any particulars, and wnen tne train bearing the dead and wounded ar rived, an official authorized a police officer to allow no reporters to enter tbe car containing Mr. Baker, the injured man. The news of tbe accident caused intens? excitement throughout tbe city, aod free expressions, not very com plimentaryto the company,!were indulged in by a great number of the cltiz9ns. A prominent minister stated to-day that be had traveled over this piece ot-tbe road, and it was always with great misgivings that he crossed the bridge. There were 18 cars in the train, of which all bat the last were loaded with stock. All of the can

fell through the work, a distance of feet. The stock was all killed. All their bodies lay in heaps at tbe bottom ot tbe ravine. The conductor, W. C. Bussel, was also among those instantly killed.

This is part ol a sermon by a preacher In -Colorado. The boys understood It: "Bojs you'll find this life like a game of sevenup. You want to save your tens and look out for game, an never beg when you hold a good band. Also, recollect in the long run low counts as much as high, if it is only a trump. The devil hfs stocked tbe cards, but iat play 'em bones and wben it comes your deal yer boun' to eet a wlnnln' band every time, and old f nlitboot will jUt have to jump tbe game and look after a softer snap.
