CROKER FELL THROUGH FLOOR, t{iflmmadiately Thereafter He =- Rushed Up a Ladder and Saved Lives of Two of His Mekn. (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Sept. 80.-Nearly a quarter of a million dollars loss was caused early today by a fire in the big block of meat packing houses and refrigerating plants in Tenth avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. Starting late last evening the fire burned throughout the night, des- pite the efforts of the big array of fire- men and appatatus. In the forenoon it was believed that the progress of the flames had been checked, but the fire- men still remained on duty. Chief Croker was injured and narrow- ly escaped death in falling through a floor weakened by the flames, Into a cellar under the building. He was rescued by two firemen, A few mo- ments later the chief rushed up a lad- der and rescued two firemen who had been overcome by the ammonia fumes, In time to prevent their falling to the Aground. . -H. Mam the Cud .# (0 ZONE OF DEADLY GAS. i Bursting ammonia pipes and tanks, «used in the refrigerating apparatus, masses of soft coal which caught fire and sent forth choking gases and buildings that went up like tinder boxes made the fire one of the worst with which the firemen have had to contend . in a long timé. Nearly two score fire- men were overcome by the fumes, but , yl} t were afterward able to return to eir worl . The heaviest loss and the worst part of the fire to fight was in the three story building occupied by the Cuddhy Packing Company, 'the T,. A,. Wheeler Company and Conron Bros., dealers in poultry, 'The fire also damaged or practically digstmyed. the Ralnes Law s y Company reach $125,000 and that to all. the oth- ers betwaen $75,000 and $100,000, _ LIEDT.-60V, RIGGING NERE O8 Way T0 NEW YORK, If Elected Governor He Will Aa Recommend Repeal of Law Taxing Surplus of Saving Banks. Hon. Frank W. Higgins of Olean, Re- publican candidate for Governor, came to Buffalo unannounced at 8% o'clock last evening and at once went to & room at the Iroquois Hotel. He left @n the 11:20 train of the New York Central for New York City, where, It is expected, he will confer with the State leaders regarding the campaign. Mr. Higgins declined to anticipate his speech of acceptance by discussing the campaign issues, further than to ray that If elected he would recommend to the next Legislature the repeal of the law taxing aurplus in the savings banks. The State platform made no mention of this, but Mr. Higgins will make it an himself. In discussing the matter he «aid: \When the savings bank tax was en- acted It appeared to be necessary, but the very large revenues secured through the lHquor tax and other Indirect tax laws seem to be ample to meet all the needs of the State without imposing any tax whatever on the surplus in the ravings bank. While it is true that the eaving« bank tax is exceedingly slight, nevertheless I am heartlly in favor of Its repeal. It is no longer necessary and I am opposed to the unnecessary taxation of the savings of the people.\ ~-<«AIVINGSTON COUNTY W. C. T. U. CLOSED.

Since the man's sensational dash for liberty scores of detectives in Buffalo, Dunkirk and surrounding towns have carried on a diligent searoh for him,. but so far no trace of the fugitive has been found. Solomon and Fleld left Buffalo sev- eral days ago to go to St. Louis after Whiteman. His arrest was effected in that city about a week ago. He start- ed out willingly to accompany the two officers back to Buffalo, making no fight against extradition. . All along he has held that the charges against him were untrue and that he would have no difficulty in proving his in- DISAPPEARED I~ Mr. Cady opened the discussion by ALONZO J.

Representatives of the Board of Fire Underwriters appeared before the Al- dermanic Committee on Fire last night and argued the city should build the Pearl street pipe line without delay. Among the insurance men in the dele- gation were F. L A. Cady, chalrman of the board,; E. S. Hawley and James AceGampbellh ~- ese neon. C * stating the committee appeared to show the Interest the underwriters take in the pipe line project and to urge the importance of immediate ac- tion, Chairman Haffa in reply stated a conference had been held with the Mayor, Corporation Counsel and Com- missioner of Public Works to map out a way by which the pipe line can be obtained. \It resolves itself Into a question of finance,\ said he. \I think ne will ar- rive at a satisfactory conclusion. It is only a question of devising ways and means now. The whole Common Coun- cll favors the construction of the line.\ \Is there any prospect of it being built before the severe weather sets in ?\ usked Mr. Cady. \Yeq a very good prospect,\ said Mr. Haffa. Mr. Cady sald the Glenny fire, which caused a loss of $400,000, had demon- strated the need of the line. A DANGEROUS CONOITION. \That fire.\ said Mr. Cady, \broke out in the middle of the day, about 4 P. M.. and the building and its con- tents became a total loss, not a dollar nocence when the case came to trial. As the Lake Shore train on which the three men were riding pulled into Dun- kirk last evening, Solomon and Fleld took their prisoner out on the platform of the station. He walked up and down with the two officers until the warning signal was given for the train to start. Then the detectives led their man back had been gecurely handcuffed tn Solo- mon. As he stepped inside the train Solomon unlocked the handcuffe and rllowed Whiteman to presede him Into the car. SLaMMED DOOR INX DETECTIVE'S PACP. As they were passing the stateroom. a door suddenly slammed in Seiomen's face. Although Whiteman was on the other side of the door Solomon never thought of the possibility of the pris- oner attempting to escape. When he opened the stateroom door. however, he found the place empty and one of the windows had been broken cut. Solomon ind Fleld at once gave the alarm. The train was running about 30 mlles an hour at that time, and as the conductor refused to stop, there was nothing else for the officers to do but to go on to Silver (Creek. From that place theywired the fact of thorities so that when they returned to the latter place Chief of Police Brady had naiready begun the search for the fugitive.
