daugliten-perished miserably.
The mdher was carried out all but a

badly buned.
Men afil women leaped, and children
were thrwu from windows in their

The firaien and police caught whom
they couh but not all.
One chil at least was ail but killed in
the fail.
Of fiftyme persons in tire house, seven
lie dead otnaimed.
The firetarted at 3:15 o’clock, when
every merioer of the ten families in the
house was'ast asleep.
It was 3*n first from the street simul¬
taneously y three policemen, who gave
alarm.
n five rinutes—before tlie firemen
could get t work—the flames had crept
stealthily tom the cellar up the only
stairway, the ad enveloped the house from
street i the roof.
The tenats were Hebrew- tailors with
their famies, who, to a man, roused
suddenly t confront death in its most
terrible fan, swarmed dowp the fire
escapes onboth sides of the building,
shrieking nd wailing as they called
their dear ties.

New York, March 18.—Some excite¬

Italy, to the effect tliat the orange and
lemon crops have been destroyed by re¬
cent storms.
President Coutencino, of the Italian
chamber of commerce, who, at present,
ie nt Sorrento, Italy, has written a
letter here, in which lie says that
tlie damage to the orange and lem¬
on crops has been enormous, and
the was caused by the gale, which swept *11
leaves off toe trees, leaving the or¬
anges and lemons without protection.
’The crop, he estimates, will be reduced
about 75 per cent. There are from 6(
00(i to 70,000 boxes of winter cut fit
stored there, leaving about an equai
amount on the trees for shipment. Had
it not been for the gale Sorrento would
have shipped during the spring 309,000
boxes of oranges. The lemon crop suf¬
