l04 Orange street, Brooklyn, the upper portion
Of which, together with that Of tho building id
joining, in which the Brooklyn Star office is
located, was used by the American Hoop. Skirt
Company as n mandatory Of hoped skirts
Just as the engine company arrived they were
met by Mr.. Wilson, the iAuitor Of the building,
who informed them that his daughter and anoth-
er woman were sleeping in room adjoining the
place where the FIRE broke out, and implored
them to go up and save their lives Mr.. Robert
Barr, member of the company, instantly ran
up stairs to their relief
Nearly opposite the stairway was door lead
ing to the room in which the girls slept, the
extended to the rear of the building. The bed
occupied by the girls was situated nearly in the
centre Of the apartment, and u few other articles
Of furniture were all that the room contained
Next to this room was another Of the same size,
used as paint shop. The FIRE broke out by the
door Of the apartment occupied by the girls, aud
the smoke soon filled the room. The girls,
awakened by the noise and a sense of sutfOcation,
jumped out of bed and ran to the rear windows,
and one of them, Susanna Wilson, the daughter
of the janitor of the building, in her dispair,
jumped from the window to the yard, five stories
below, and was Instantly killed.
The other girl, Damcd Anna Trainor, remained
by the window until she became insensible from
the smoke Mr.. Robert Barr, on gaining the
head Of the stairway, forced his way through
the flames, and, finding the door of the room,
broke in one of the panels, and orept through
then CROPPED his way to the bed, but found nc
persons lit the girls having gone to the window
Mr. Barr, nearly suffocated, was obliged to re-
turn to the outside, to obtain assistance, bat i'm
mediately returned. On making II new search
although he heard the girl breathe, lie did no
succeed in finding her until he had made iiv,
successive attempts, when he discovered he yinl
by the window, in an insensible condition, ant
bore her to the street.
The flames were soon extinguishcd by the fire
men, aud did not extend beyond the place in
which they originated, The damage amounts Il
about $1,000, which is covered by Insurance.

tertained of her recovery. George Albreoht, tn

Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation. Il
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ Il free
from its attacks, nor is there one which It may
not destroy. The serofulous taint IL variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, alth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending /" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed,
il seems to be the rod Of Him who says, III
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from tbs
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul COR
rupdon, which genders in the blood, dspressea
the energies Of life, SO that scrofulous constitl-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint In the
system. Most Of the consumption which de,
climates the human family hns its origin directly
i'll this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from o,
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in.
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse il from the svstel we must refovatt
the blood by an alternative medicine, and In
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise
Such medicine we supply in

the most effectual remedy which the medical
