His mother made the fatal jump almost immediately afterward and her dead body was found almost on top of her sou's. While all this was going on in the rear there was a thrilling time for the firemen and the tenants on the front of the house. Mrs. Byrnes and her boarders, Farroll Murray, aged 36 years, and Mary Boas, aged 39, occupied the" fifth floor, front. They had heard the cry of fire and in scanty apparel took to the fire escape for safety.

There was no fire at the front of the house then, and they descended the escape until they reached the ladder that the railroad men had set up. Then, as described, it fell through the bake shep window and there was an outpouring of lost both legs in the war of 1812, and her father, Captain Benjamin Weekes, while in command of. a ship in the merchant service was made prisoner, sent to Halifax, and held until the close of the same war.

The building is one of a row of five the same mold located on the south side of Atlantic avenue, about midway between Boeriirn place and Smith street.

They were forced to ascend again, and the firemen, who had in the meanwhile olaced their own ladders against the building, assisted ihein.

But the two persons named were fix subjects for medical treatment when they finally reached safety and they were taken in an ambulance to Long Island College Hospital. Oscar Thompson, one of the men of Truck Xo. 60, found Mrs. Laura Marshall, aged 44 years, on the front fire escape, preparing to jump. He told her to remain until he could reach her.

and then he guided her at tho risk of his life up the iron escape ladders to the rooms on the fifth floor, front. The east wall of the building, he found, was pierced by a small window to furnish light, and he smashed the. window, in the darkness and smoke, and looked out.

lived on the fourth floor. She went out of her rooms at the time of the first alarm with her son. Together they sought safety by the stairways, but after descending one they found that escape through that means was impossible. "Keep a tight hold of my hnnd, mother," said the son. "and we'll go upstairs again.

I guess we can get out through the roof." The mother held a tight grasp or tho man's hand and they walked upstairs again. They got into the hallway at the top of the house and suddenly the son felt his mother had re leased hoid of his hand. He groped the darkness and smoke for her, but he could not find her. He could not see and the heat was by this time intense. With an instinct of self prescrvatiou, ho retreated, but anxiety for his mother caused him to return.

EARL OP ARRAN DEAD. London, March 14 Arthur Saunders Gore, the afth earl of Arran, died this morning.

DRE SHORE ACRES. BE State Inspector Favors Transfer of Boys to Protectory and Juvenile Asylum. COLER AGREES WITH HIM. Controller Does Not Believe That Catholicism Has Been Taught to Protestant Boys. The abolishment of the Brooklyn Disciplinary School is recommended in the report of State Inspector Henry M.

Lechtrecker to the State Board of Charities, made public today. The report, as foreshadowed in the Eagle a week ago, does not say one good thing about the Disciplinary School, but recounts several Teascras why the school is unsatisfactory. The conclusions reached in Inspector trecker's report are that the children from the Disciplinary School should be divided up between the New York Juvenile Asylum and the Catholic Protectory the Protestants to go to the Asylum and the Catholics to the All of the children are now hoarding at the Protectory in Westchester pending repairs to the Brooklyn school buildings. Eighty nine of the 173 boys are Catholics. 68 are Protestants and 16 Hebrews.

Inspector Lechtrecker believes that those boys cannot be roformed properly unless they are given the right kind of religious training, and he thinks they cannot get this training except in the schools of their respective, faiths. Controller Coler is enthusiastically in favor of the abolishment of the Disciplinary School. He said thi3 afternoon that he indorsed every word of Mr. Lechtrecker's report. The Controller does not believe the brothers at the Catholic Protectory have tried to teach their faith to the Protestant boys from the Brooklyn Disciplinary School.

'There is nothing in those charges," said the Controller. "I know that Brother Leon tine, the rector at the Protectory, is anxious to get the Protestant boys away from the Protectory. He has been here to this office and told me he wanted to get rid of them. "The boys in the Disciplinary School ought to be taught religious principles, however, and the Catholic boys should be in the Protectory of their own faith, while the Protestants should be sent to the Juvenile Asylum." Inspector Lechtrecker's report follows in part: Epidemic of Typhoid and Abandonment of Premises. "The last report of inspection called attention to the unsanitary conditions, unsafeen eral state, and the poorly planned and inadequate quarters.

An outbreak of typhoid fever, resulting in one death, the following October, attributable to the general unsanitary condition of plumbing and premises, resulted in the closing of the entire premises October 25, 1900, by the local Board of Health. The disastrous Are of March, 1899, left the. buildings in a badly damaged condition. In November, 1900, a special appropriation of $30,000 was mde by a transfer of certain city funds available. The main walls, which were reported in last inspection as badly settled, and on each floor parted from the ceiling, have been jacked up and some of the apertures in the foundation fitted with slate wedges.

The buildings, even when repaired and altered, will not be suitable for the purposes of a disciplinary school for boys. The structures are old and not strong. "The capacity of the institution, when last visited, April, 1900, was 113. With the added floor space in dormitory, about forty more beds might safely be added, thus making tho total capacity, when completed, about 153. Ac present there are 17,1 in the population temporarily boarded at the New York Catholic Protectory.

These figures show that twenty of the present population cannot be provided for when the repaired buildings are ready to be occupied. A defect in the present plan is the absence of provision for quarantine isolation and hospital quarters. It is contemplated that the repairs and alterations will be so far under way by July or August next as to permit of occupancy, and until then the population will continue as boarders at the New York Catholic Protectory. In tho meantime, new comers are accepted and forwarded to the protectory, from which latter institution I learn thai less than half a. dozen such have been received.

A large payroll Is maintained at full rates at the present time, and has been so maintained since the transfer of the boys to the Catholic protectory. It amounts to $11,850. Religious Training of tite Boys. "On March 2 the boys were reviewed at the New York Catholic Protectory, and all accounted for. It was found that of the 173 present, 89 were Roman Catholics, GS were Protestants and 16 were Hebrews.

The Roman Catholic boys attend the religious instruction ar the Protectory; the Hebrew boys are visited weekly by a Rabbi who instructs them in their religion; but the Protestant boys hava had no religious instruction since arriving hereV The brothers in charge of the Protectory inform me that they some delicacy in the matter, and not wishing to give offense nor the appearance of proselyting, they have delegated specially one of their number to accompany the Protestant boys outdoors during chapel hours. "It is conceded hy all right Siinded people that in the reformation of the wayward, and the strengthening of the weak, morally, a large element of success is chargeable to religious training. What the character or the creed may he is not for inspector to comment upon, but the fact remains that religious instruction of some kind should be given of these boys. In looking over the record of these boys at the Protectory, I find that the letter of transfer from the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School simply mentioned the name of the boy, and gave no information as to his religion. This the brothers at the Protectory had to ascertain.

"A careful study of the situation inclines one to the bcMef that the best interests of the municipality and of these children would he better served if they were permanently transferred according to religious division, to the New York Catholic Protectory and the New York Juvenile Asylum."

Gas Drip Bard ARRESTS SAID TO BE IMPORTANT Police Believe Men HaW Been Operating in the Eastern District" for Some Time.

An exciting burglar chase, during which the pursuing policeman was compelled to dis charge his revolver, occurred early tnis morning in Penn street. AS a result the entire neighborhood was aroused. The alleged burglars at the time of their discovery were engaged in cutting out all the lead pipe and gas fixtures in the unoccupied house at 75 Penn street. Their arrest was made by Roundsmen Munday and Monahan of the Lee avenue station. Shortly after daylight the policemen started out to patrol the vicinity in search burglars who had made visits of a similar character to houses In the neighborhood.

While walking through Penn street their attention was attracted to tho house in which the burglars were at work by a small pushcart standing; at the edge of the sidewalk. They approached the house cautiously and Roundsman Munday ran into the building through the basement, the door being slightly open. As he entered there was a scramble of feet and a man dashed through the rear door leading into the yard. Munday was close behind him, but the alleged burglar showed remarkable agility in scaling fences and was outstripping the pursuing policemen when the latter drew his revolver and discharged one shot, which lodged in the top Of a fence within a few inches of the burglar's head. The close proximity of the bullet took all the courage out of the man and he remained perched on the fence top until Slunday reached him.

The sound of the shot brought many heads to the windows of the houses in the vicinity and several men were armed with revolvers which they flourished and assisted the policeman in the capture by covering tho burglar with their revolvers. Munday escorted the prisoner back to the house, where it was found that all the lead pipe and gas fixtures had been removed and damage to tho extent of $400 done to the building. In the meantime Roundsman Monahan had a lively chase after the second burglar, who darted out the front way and was pursued to Hewes street and Wythe avene, whore he was captured. He was also taken back to the house. 'The men at the time the police men appeared were packing the lead and gas' fixtures ready for removal in tho hand cart.

They were taken to the station house, where they described themselves as John Miller, 16 years old, of 148 Gwinnett street, and John Morgan, 21 years old, of 69 Montrose avenue. They were arraigned later before Magistrate Kramer in the Lee avenue court, on a charge of burglary, and were remanded for examination. Police Captain Toole of the Lee avenue station is of the opinion that the prisoners are the burglars who have been engaged in robbing the other vacant houses, removing all the plumb'lng and doing considerable damage. Seven Boys Charged With. Burglary.

Seven boys of assorted ages and sizes sat in Captain Miles O'Reilly's private room at the Butler stroet station house to day, awaiting an examination before Magistrate Bristow in the Butler street court. The boys were charged with burglary "in entering the house, 18 First place, on February '26 and stealing silver plated ware and household goods valued in the aggregate at $75.

The boys were arT rested yesterday by Detectives Roberts and Reynolds and taken before Captain O'Reilly, who made a thorough investigation of the case. He learned previous to this, however, that Patrolman Joseph Moran, while covering his beat on discovered that tho basement door of 18 First place was open, and on making a slight examination of the premises ascertained that burglars had been in the house. Thero were evidences of a general ransacking in one of the upper rooms of the house and of a desire on the part of the intruders to get away as fast as possible. He reported the matter at the station house and Detectives Roberts and Reyn'olds ere assigned to the case.

They found out that the property was represented by Miss Sarah Franks of the Hotel St. George. There the Detectives called and informed Miss Franks of the visit of the burglars. Miss Franks went to the house. 18 First place on March 6 and made a careful examination of the premises.
