A Very Mean SWindler,

In certain Troy church on Sunday,
says the Times of that city, ayoung man
who occupied seat near the pulpit was
evidently greatly embarrassed when the
collection was taken up. His pew was
about the first into which the basket was
thrust, and he plunged his hand into his
pocket, kept the collector waiting mo-
lnent, and then quickly thrust bill
evidently the first he could get out OF his
wallet-into the basket.
After the service the young man
fingered, ana, when the congregation
had retired, approached the gentleman
who had charge Of the collection, and
who was counting it at the time, and re-
marked that he was q stranger in the
city, that he was poor young man, and
had, in the hurry Of the moment, put
$40 bill into the collection basket by mis-
take for 81 bill. He inquired modestly
if it would be unfair to ask for the return
of SO to him. The collector, appreciatine
the strangers evident frankness and
| modesty, looked over the collection, and,
| finding the $40 bill, offered to return it.
Tie stranger declined, saying ne meant
| to contribute 81, and that, as he had NJ
! small CO oange, ne would be satisfied If >,
were refunded to him. This was proc

New YORK, Dec. IA fire occurred
yesterday in the large five-story tene-
ment, No. 20 Thomas street, commencing
in the basement and filling the building
with q dense volume of smoke that al
most suffocated the firemen who at
tempted to enter 1t. The stairs were
quickly devoured by the flames, thus
cutting of all escape to the crowd of
sbrieking women and children In the
building. They fiocked to the windows,
screaming for aid. Several tiremen
bravely entered the burning building
from the house adjoining, and rescued
all in the house, chiefly women and chill
dren, from death which appeared in
evitable. Several were rescued in an
unconscious condition, owing to the
dense smoke and choking heat of the
fire. Had the fire occurred at night the
loss OF life must have been terrible. The
loss by fire will not exceed 10000.
