thirteen people died for the
REVENGE OF ONE.
CAUSE OF NEW YORK’S LATEST FIRE
Destruction of Andrews’ and Adams’
Residences Fired to Encompass the
Death of Servant.
A New York special says: Despite
reticence on the part of the police,
facts became public Saturday which
make it appear that the fire which last
Friday destroyed thirteen persons was
of incendiary origin. It transpired
that a few hours before the flames were
seen a policeman was sent for from tho
Andrews house, and was mysteriously
dismissed by a servant, who said he
was not wanted.
Letters threatening the lives of the
Andrews family and the children of
Mrs. St. John were found. It is be¬
lieved that the motive for incendiarism
was revenge, and that the affair arose
out of a quarrel between the servants.
Foley, the butler in the Andrews fam¬
ily. is under surveillance, and the
police are hard at work investigating
the clews, which chiefly rest upon the
anonymous letters.
Mary Flaunagan, the dead maid
servant, seems to have been a central
figure in this alleged plot, and the
chief object of the supposed perpe¬
trator’s hate. The police have given
out three scurrilous, threatening an-
onymous letters which had been sent
to members of the Andrews? house¬
hold. One was addressed to the serv-
ant, Mary Flannagau.
The letters made charges against
Mary Flaunagan and the butler. In a
letter addressed’ to Mrs. St. John, the
writer said:
‘T hope von and Mrs. Andrews
don’t think for one moment that I am
reconciled with Mary Flaunagan, for,
indeed, I am not, and what is further, I
will not be until I get my revenge. I
feel that I have given warning enough-,
and I am going to fix her life, and be-
cause you and Mrs. Andrews did not
give heed to warning, I am going to
fix you too. I am going to make
some one throw something in your
nurse’s and children’s faces that will
disfigure them and eat all the flesh off
the bones. This I will do for spite,
because you did not let Mary go—as I
told you to do. You had just as well
let her go first as last. You will have
no girl alive when I get through with
her.”
Funeral of the Victims.
The funeral services over the re¬
mains of the members of the family of
Wallace C. Andrews and G. C. St.
John, who perished in the terrible
fire, were held at the Fifth avenue
home of the Andrews family Sunday
afternoon.
None but the very intimate friends
and relatives of the family were in at¬
tendance. The funeral oration was
delivered by Professor Felix Adler, of
the Ethical Cultuie Society.
There were no ceremonies save the
oration delivered by Professor Adler.
Nor was there any music. All was
plain and simple, in accordance with
the wishes of Mr. St. John.
The pallbearers were: Russell Sage,
Gen. Burnett, Colonel Robert G. Jn-
gersoll, James W. Hawes, W. J. Hitch¬
cock, C. E. Orvis, Mr. Williams, Sen¬
ator T. C. Platt, Horace A. Hutchins
