They will he counted to-night and should two-thirds of the men bo in favor of a strike, the brotherhood. chiefs may order all hands out, and the rnilroud system will probably be tied up.

1900, but it was reversed the Appellate Division and a new trial granted. Justice Woodward, writing the opinion, gives a suecim history of the case. The plaintiff, his Honor says, alleged abandonment on Aug. 17, 1809, and the defendants neglect to provide for the children. Defendant had a friend, Carl Neuen-dorfer, living next door in 147lh street, Manhattan.

Neuendorfer sent his family to Europe in 1804 and, at the time of the decision of the Appellate Division, they had not returned. Dcisler went to Europe in 1897, and Neuendorfer took. his meals at Doislor's house, during his absence. Mrs. Dcisler went to places of amusement with Neuendorfer and had a key to his house, which she Tisited day and night.

She drank with Neuendorfer on her own verandah and on his, and conducted herself so as to excite the comment of the neighbors. Deisicr sued for divorce absolute, hut discontinued the action. Airs. Dcisler denying that there was anything improper be. tween her anil Neuendorffer, and promising that all relations between them should cease.

Justice Woodward in his opinion says that Mrs. Dcisler continued to meet Neuendorffer and this became known to Deisler; nevertheless a compromise was effected. Other derelictions are recounted, and the Court says that Mrs. Deisler did not come into a court of equity with clean hands. Justice Smith has also denied a motion to serve an amended complaint.

The decision of the Appellate Division," said he, in effect terminates the litigation, and it is well for ail parties that the conclusion he accepted at once."

When he went up the third time he found fourteen-year-obl George Carr partly or er-eimr to smoke in the hallway and carried him safely down.

Moore heard that Ella. Carr, ti yearij old. was also in the building, so he made another trip up the semi-human ladder. While he was coming down, the ladder slipped from the shoulders of ene of the men, and the ladder, Moore and the child toppfriMicavily to the ground. With tlie exception of a few bruise, neither the child nor Moore wa injured.

When the firemen arrived it was deemed proper to send in a second alarm. Just before the appearance of the fire-fighters, honerer. tlie lodgers on tlie top floor were in a great quandary. Many of them made attempts to jump and tlie people below tiAd to persuade them to remain quiet and jf ait the Arrival of the hook and ladder inmpanies.

It is feared thnt tha M. Waideck-Rousseau will have to undergo another operatiod.

His health is in most unsatisfactory condition. The "Gaulois" asserts that his resignation is expected and that President Lou-bet has already sliscussed the subject with the Premier. In the event of M. Waldeck-Uousseaud resignation, it is expected that President Loubet will sendfur M. Delcassc, now Minister of Foreign Affaire, and request i him to take the Premiership.

The belief that Waldeck-Rousseau it aimut to resign is gaining credence. The fact that officials, when questioned as to the truth of the report, meet it With silence instead of denial, ia regarded as significant. M. Deleasse is regarded as one of the most eminent of French statesmen nnd remarkably conservative, broad and farsighted. As Minister of Foreign Affair he has had nmeh to do with shaping European policy iu China.

He ha cultivated the Russian alliance, has refused to let France become embroiled in South and has been moderate in tone toward the Vatican, having moved in 1899 for the re-establishment of the credit for an embassy at the Vatican, which motion wa carried. His selection as successor to Rousseau wntld be In accord with President Loubet'a well-known view of public affairs. Young Hnver Say It Was an AeeU dent.

cellar of the throe-story brii tenement al No. 42'i 8 mull street. Mooic landed Mien people from the mirning building and was slightly injured by the falling of a ladder he was descending with a little girl in his arms. Two of the tenant i jumped from the window of the 'hitd Hour to the ground, and another unfort i-1 nnto was found partly suffocated by ihc smoke. These three are in the lio-pitul, nnd it is said there is little ohame of their recovery.

The first floor of the building was occupied by the owner. John Carr, as a saloon, lie lived over the store with hi' family, aonsisting of his wife, his two daughters and two sons. lie also had a tvariler with him named John Fay. The flour oierhead was reserved for lodgers. Directly opposite the saloon is a branch otfo of tlie Brooklin Union Gas Company, for which firm Moore works.

He was at -the nfliee at 4 oclock this morning, when his attention was attracted by of tire, and upon looking in the direction of Carr's place saw that it was on tire. Ilo linrted across the street, climbed up to the top of the shed over the saloon door and then drove his fist through the window of Carr's apnrtments. He rushed inside shouting nnd warning tile people of their danger. He first got John ICa.v to place nf safety, and then carried John Carr, the four-year-old on of the owner, to the street. He immediately returned and took Annie Cnrr, 3 years old, to the street.

While descending the stairs amid flame and smoke with the child she whispered: Please save papa and mamma." Carr soon appeared on the street, and calmed the fears of his little daughter. He escaped from the building by way of the stairway. Moore tried hard to re-enter the buildinfC again, but the Humes and smoke thwarted him. He got ns far as the steps on one occasion, but nas forced to retreat to the street for a breath of air. Finding that another means would have to be employed, to save the rest of the tenartts.

he procured a ladder, but, when this nils placed against the Iioue it was found to be toi( -mall. Several men nho were near by voliniteered to hold the ladder on their shoulders while Moore mounted it. This scheme worked admirably, Moore made four trips up the LAWYERS NOT. TO BE BUNCOED.

without her haviug taken out other letters of administration and in violation of the limited letters. On an ordei to show cause, the, attorneys brought Mrs. Gordon before the Surrogate on the question whether she should not, pay the attorneys what she agreed to pay them for their services? Argument was had before the Surrogate, who decided that the administratrix must take out- full letters of administration by giving a bond in and directed ner to pay the attorneys the amount stipulated in their agreement.
