Being injure by Jumping From Windows. New York.—Eleven persons were killed, more than a dozen injured, and thirty more escaped death by the narrowest margain in an incendiary fire which wrecked a tenement house early Monday. That a deliberate attempt was made to destroy the house and its oceupants as well, the police and firemen do not doubt. Three barrels stuffed with rubbish soaked with oi] were blazing fiercely in the lower hall, eutting off the escape of the fifty or more persons who were sleeping on the upper floors. Some of these died in their beds, overcome by smoke and then caught by the flames. Others who had been aroused too late fell unconscious before they could reach a window and were burned to death scarcely an arm’s length from safety Many were injured by jumping from upper windows to the street or by being crushed as they fought for positions of safety on the choked fire escapes, Mothers and fathers with children in their arms amd the smoke pouring out of the windows behind them and the cracking of the flames in their cars became panic stricken and tossed their children to friends in the street. Fully a dozen children were tossed from the second and third floors, and were caught by men standing in the street. The men and women were later carried down by firemen on ladders. BULGARIAN INDEPENDENCE, Proclaims Her Independence of Tur key and Trouble May Follow. Sofia, Pulgaria—Bulgaria, a tributary principality under the suzerainty of the sultan of Turkey, on Monday proclaimed her independence of Turkey. ‘This action was taken at Tirnovo by Prince Ferdinand, who was elected prince of Bulgaria in 1887. The Bulgarian cabinet was present with the princes, having met him Sunday at the frontier and journeyed with him to Tirnovo. The party reached Tirnovo Sunday evening. Tiruovo is the ancient capital of the kingdom of Bulgaria, and it was there in the olden days that ihe kings of Bulgaria were crowned. Turkey, caught in a moment of weakness, is the victim of this situation, and while some international animosities have been stirred up, probably no power is willing to make war upon the emaciated Turkey. Reports indicate that the young Turks will swallow this bitter pill as best they can, and if they do, naturally the Bulgarians, while willing and eager for war, will have no cause en which to base the beginning of hostilities. Wife of Slayer of Annis Will Not Aid Husband. New York.—Although counsel for Mrs. Peter C. Hains, Jr., failed on, Monday to file an affidavit of specifications in support of her motion for alimony, counsel fees and the custody of her children, in the suit for absolute divorce brought by her husband shortly before his shooting of William KE.
