Various legislatures now 111 session
have been forced to consider bills pre
sented b fresh and ambitious members
prohibiting the acceptance by legisla
tors of passes from railroad corpora-
tions In some few instances members
of law making bodies have ostentatiously
declined such favors As a whole the
members have their pockets stuffed with
passes It is therefore quite a
matter of course that the prohibi
tor bills never become laws The
virtuous members who find a season
pass between their homes and the capi-
tal a great convenience affect to behove
that the courtesy of the railroad is a
favor to the individual not the legisla-
tor though uoue of them can ascertain
b the most rigid examination of his

FATAL riAtirS IA
YORK CITY
New York January 31 Tho lire re-
ported as breaking out in the Times
office originated in the building for-
merly occupied b the New York World
in tho block with the Times building
but seperated from it by nn intervening
building Streumus ellorts were made
to check it but the fire spread rapidly
and it is feared cannot be checked short
of the corner where the Times ollice is
located There is an unverified rumor
of the loss of several lives Ambulances
aroon the spot There is a slight snow
falling but the air is dr and crisp with
a light breeze frrm the north which in-
creases the difficulty of controlling the
fireThe
The block in which the fire is burning
is an irregular shaped one with the
building formorly occupied by the
World on its southeast corner aud the
Times building occupiug the entire
northern angle of the square The
Tribune office is diagonally across
Nassau street from tiie Times building
and the Sun office is on the upper
corner of the same block with the
Tribune
The fire has been burning fiercely and
is now tnking hold on top of the build-
ing sending up large masses of flames
The publisher semis the following note
to the associated press
The New York Observer has been
burned out and this weeks issue will be
clela ved
The Observer office was at No 37
Park Row iu tho old World building
There were a large number of olhces
stores aud advertising agencies in that
and tho adj oiniug house In one of
these offices there were a number of men
emploed and it is reliably asserted oue
woman leaped from the roof over the
adv ertising offices and w as killed There
nro rumors of otherwomen being burned
in the offices but these cant et be v en
fiedThe
The loss bears very heav both on
the buildings and the stocks in the
stores including the wholesale supply
depot of the rubber manufacturing com
pau At 10 oclock the southern end of
the square is a nass of ruins but it is
thought the Times building will be
saveel though the danger is uot entirely
over Tho Times building is saved but con-
siderably damaged The tlames are
confined to the Beekmau street and
Park Bow corner of the block Twent
one lives were lost with that of the
woman nlread referred to
Among the occupants of the burned
building were the Scientific American
the Scottish American Journal the
Turf Field and Farm and Thompsons
Bank Note and Commercial Reporter
The following were advertising agents
S M Pettengill x Co John Phillips
Charles Mercer Co J WalterThomp
son Nicolas Mauithesi R Thomp-
son The fourth floors of
tho burning building were
occupied
weekly newspapers which emploved
women as compositors A woman and
two men are mid n l iw n
The following statement regarding the
origin ot the fire is made by one of the
occupants of the building
I was passing down near the corner
ot Nassau street No 117 Park Row
When near the foot of the stairs the
flames burst through the new elevator
shaft from the basement Nothing ha 1
occurred indicating the danger up to
that moment Tho flames rushed up the
shaft like n Hash ot Iigatumg and almost
as quickly up the stairwas in terrible
torieiits of lire with deii el packed
smoke which mstantl cut off the pos-
sibility of egreos Passing back
through the building and calling
the alarm I came out on the Park
Row side The engine room adjoins the
bottom of the elevator shaft and the lire
must have begun there and gained lU
impetus before an alarm was given I
fear that the rapulit with which the
flames and smoke tilled tho narrow stairs
cut oil escape for man occupauts of
the upper stones An old gentleman
with white hair got out of a fourth
story window on Beekman street ami
stood on the sill for live minutes hold-
ing on to the uanow top piece with his
hands The lames were approaehiug
him but he saw no chance to escape
The firemen raised a ladder but
it oul reached to the stor be-
low him A crowil in the street
got tarpauliu and a score of willing
hands braved the danger of falling de-
bris and cinders aud shouts went up
plaiul heard Old gent jump for
onr life We will save011 But he
looked at the sixt feet distance below
and could not muster up courage to
make the attempt He turned forward
facing the street with his hands behind
him aud stood like a statue braving
death Meanwhile two brave men got a
short ladder wentup the lire ladder and
held it ttn to him nnd steadied it while
he slowly climbed down Just as lie
reached the long ladder the flames
burst through the window where he had
itood but ho reached the sidewalk iu
safety amid the cheers of the crowd
1 ho buildings destroed or damaged
b to das fire comprised the entire tri-
angular block bounded by Park How
Beekman and Nm < wiu streets aud was
one ot the most crowded blocks in tho
cit considenug the space it covered
The upper floors were occupied by
v anous mauufactunng industnes and as
composing rooms for weekl newspapers
a majority of winch emploed female
compositors The fire began m
the old building recently occupied
by the World newspaper andistheprop
erty of exCougressmnu Poller It was
very large extending from Park Row to
Nassau street along Beekman street
with entrances onl on Park Row and
Nassau streets It wis full of wooden
partitions corridors and crooked stair
wavs nnd was regarded by firemen with
npprelieusiou Recentl an elevator
had been put in on the Nassau street
side nnd in this elevator shaft the fire
originated starting in the basement
It flew up the shaft and
filled tho halls and stiirwas so
quickly with flames and smoke that
escape by these means was cut off be-
fore the occupants of the upper floors
suspected the danger Many people
were seen by those 111 the streets below
to appear at the windows of the burning
building with hair nnd garments ablaze
but they soon disappeared One man
who gained the roof and escaped by wav
of the Times building shouted to
the rescuers that several poople
were cut off from escape Some
jumped from windows and were
killed or mortally injured on
the pavements One or two
boys who jumped had legs broken
by striking tho telegraph wires and es
caped with serious injur but one large
heavy man who leaped from a third
story wiudow on Nassau street struck
the network of wires which near cut
him to pieces as he crashed through
them The fire was stopped at the
Times building The heaviest losers in
money are A B Potter owner of the
building aud the New York Belting
nnd Packing company tho latter
claiming their loss to be 51500
000 on stock insuied for
Slf0000 Nothing approaching an
accurate statements of the casualties
can be given as the bodies of the denl
were quid carried away to different
places and tho wounded burned to hos-
pitals Many deeds of heroism were
performed by firemen and citizens and
two colored bo8 excited enthusiasm 111
different localities by their presence of
mind and bravery which resulted 111
one case iu saviug five aud 111 another
ease three workmen whose escape
1 seemed hopeless
