i ii of irons 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 and H. S.
