strap on the end. opened the door, and
dashed through the flames. ran through

breath. Then I came to the stairs, which
were burning. / leaped down and struck
safely on the floor. Then I ran along the
hall through heat and smoke. and when I
came to the entrance found it so full of
fire could not 90 down. then ran along
another long hall to the ladies' entrance.
and reached It only to find it in flames. That
was my last chance. had dropped my trunk,
and had nothing to retard me so leaped
through the flames saeain, landed safely on the
floor below, and ran into the street, dressed
in very short shirt and my plug hat. I
had put my hat ON to save my hair from
burning, but did not have time to put on
my pants. Some other fellow who was
dressed caught up nv trunk when drop

A TRIBUTE TO A GooD-HEARTED MAN
Editors of the Dispatch: In relating the
names Of those noble men who, on the
morning of the 25th, rendered generous
and disinterested service to the sufferers by
the Spotswood fire, you unintentionally do
Injustice by omission to one whose eXer-
tions in that line were untiring, and, be-
lieve, purely unselfsh.
As one of the sufferers who rushed from
the flames in its later stages hatless, coat
less, bootless, and moneyless, desire to
thank him for his humane and generous at
tentions to me, even to the taking off OF his
coat from his own back and placing it upon
mine, l know that his attentions to others
were equally generous and valuable.
I refer to MIR. Griffith, of the Grectan
Bend Saloon, on Sth street.
Truly, SUFFERER.

There is an old saying, ait never rains but thal
1t poursn; and to judge by the continued bad
weather that we have been blessed with, the
proyerb would seem to be verified. still. "good

weather and slippery pavement deferred the ladies
from making their usual shopping, there was
temporary lull iu the Of business at the 'old

ANOTHER FLYING MACHINE "NEARLY
COMPLETED BY SAN FRANCISCO MAN.
[From the san Francisco Bulletin, Dec. III
A few months since j. 3. Morrow, citizen
of this place and practical engineer, COM
menced work on the model of a flying ma
chine. which he has since carried nearly TO
completion. To-day it was set In motion at
a shop on the corner Of Fremont and Mar
ket streets, and the results were entirely
satisfactory. AS yet Inc liltinS ana sus.1lai-
ing uower is not wholly supplied, but that
has been a demonstration for centuries
past. The model which we saw is designed
to exhibit the propelling and guiding
forces. The. balloon has attached be-
meath it a light but strong frame
work for the support OF the machlnery
and passengers. At the top of this frame
work, and just under the balloon, is an
arm and shaft, and at either END ot the
shaft are propetlers, or fans, winch are re,
yersible, and easily adjusted TO any required
position by means of pulleys. BY these tne
engineer may turn the VeSsel, reverse iIs
rofIrse. or give it an upward or downward
inclination; the supply OF gas remaining
always the same in the balloon. The pro-
heller shaft is worked by double upright
engine, set within the framework, and
driven by boiler of peculiar c0nstruc-
tion, combining the forces of steam ana air,
90 that ten gallons of water will, If is calcu-
lated. drive a ten-borse power engine ave
hours. On a level with the boiler is the
frame on which the saloon for passengers is
to be constructed.
The engine of the model works smooth
10 and reyolyes the fans with great velo-
city. The inventor intends to have bal.
Ioon manufactured in few days. When IL
is is completed he will give the machine I, fal5 III
trial. Several scientific men have examined nee
it. and expressed their conviction thas ;. MT; r.
Morrow NJ has made important discoveries Id

was made by turning off the gas at the me-

his belief confirmed by the brilliant display
of phosphorus previously dashed upon the
walls. This scheme was splendidly concoct-
ed and carried out, and there are few men
in this world that would not have been as
much or more frightened than Sheriff Num-
ger, 1t would take stout heart, indeed,
TO stav in room well enough lighted to
see any object, and to witness and hear all
that he saw and heard, unappalled.
AS up to this time Mir. Munger has had

in relieving him of his present anxiety and
perturbation of mind, but he owes that
turnkey one practical joke if ever one man
