This IS the free use of ice, internally,
If 1t can be swallowed, which is rarely
the case, and its free and persistent
use externally. Whoever finds a pa
tlent thus affected should carry him
into an airy room, strip him of his
clothing, and, placing a man at each
extremity, get him to rub him from
head to foot with large pieces of ice.
The purpose and effect of this is to re-
duce as rapidly as possible the tenn
perature, or in other words, to put out
the fire which is consuming him, and
II this be promptly done, recovery will
take place even in cases apparently of
the most desperate character.
But this rubbing with ice must be
thoroughly done, with large pieces of
ice, and persisted in until conscious
ness and natural breathing be restored.
If ice cannot be obtained. cOpiOuS eff
fusions of cold water may be substi-
tuted. Of course, various auxiliary
measures may be adopted by an intel

are for immediate adoption in mala-
dy which, if not promptly treated,
may prove fatal before the physician
arrives; but in all cases a slillful ply
stefan should of course be sent for

a Famous BattIe-Tayern.

The tavern received its name from
huge catamOunt which had carried off
calf belonging to John Warner, a
man living in the vicinity. One stormy
winter night Warner was awakened
by the beating of the calf. and on 90
ing to the log pen where it had been
| confined found the creature gone. with
clear evidence at hand that the depra-
datOr had been catamOunt. Warner
who was an expert hunter, followed
the animal to the Green Mountains.
where he found it with the calf on the
limb of a tree. He killed the cata-
Mount, which measured nine feet from
tip of nose to tip of tail. The skin
was stuffed and placed upon the sign
post of the old tavern. The landlord
of the famous tavern (Which. at first.
was known as the Green Mountain
TaTern), was Capt. Stephen Fay, who
settled in Bennington in 1866. and who
was the father of an influential fam
lily. Five of his sons We're in the bat

instantly killed by a shot through the
head. Theodore 5. Fay, our late Min

An anecdOte of landlord Fay in con-
nection with this battle is related as
follows: While the families of some of
the men engaged in the battle left the
vicinity in anticipation of the defeat of
our troops, Stephen Fay stood by his
tavern. He had received note from
Col. Baum, the British commander, the
day previous, which announced, with
characteristic GOODNESS and self-confi-
dence, my officers and myself will
dine with you on the 10th; please have
dinner ready" Baum himself fell in
the field, but late in the afternoon Of
the day many Of his officers and men
marched through the village under
guard as prisoners of war AS they
passed the tavern Mr.. Fay stepped out
into the porch at the front door, and

a profound bow, said: Gentlemen, |

Burning of the Philadelphia
ShOddy Mill.

a PHILADELPHIA special telegram
to the Chicago Times gives the follow
ing particulars of the loss of life by the
recent fire in Philadelphia:
Five of the women were at work in
the fourth story sorting rags; one wo-
man was in the third story or storage
room, and the remaining woman, Ell
len Hoover, with the three men were
in the ground store, where the carding
was done. The employees had been at
work about three quarters Of an hour
when the fire broke out in the picker
room. Some iron substance struck the
revolving machinery used to reduce
the rags to particles, and by spark
ignited the mass of rags. The greasy
rags and floors soaked with oil fed the
flames at lightning speed, and inside of
five minutes the entire building was in
blaze. The only escape, the stairs,
were quickly destroyed, but not before
Ellen had rushed up to the third and
fourth stairs and sounded the alarm
an act of heroism that cost her life
The women hurried down to the second
story, only to find themselves in a sea of
fire; four of the women (Matty Haven,
Cornelia Peterson, Maggie Sheridan
and Maggie Sweeney ran through the
flames to the second-StOry window,
and by means of an old shed reached
the ground in safety, although each
received a bad scorching. The other
women, Ellen Hoover, Ann Patterson
and Maria Hoover tried to follow their
companions, but the fierce flames
drove them back. Step by step the
fire drove them back to the fourth
story, they all the time utter
ing frantic cries for help. An
excited crowd had collected in front of
the building and shouted. to the poor
women, now driven to the upper win
doWs by the heat: " Jump, jump, or
you will get burned to deathp' The
crowd of lOOkerS-On seemed demented,
and while some placed bales of rags
and shOddy beneath the windows, 9TH
ers insanely dragged them away to
save the worthless stuff from the
flames. Ann Patterson, at the ex-
IRENE northern window in the fourth
story, first made the leap for life. She
struck the hard pavement with q thud
that Wrung a cry of agony from the
terror-stricken crowd. She came down
almost head foremost, and rebounded
several feet in the air. She was so
escaped from her lips. Then Ellen
Hooper, who died to save her compan-
ions, made the fatal leap. Though she
did not strike the pavement with as
much force as did Miss Patterson, the
shock was terrible. She moaned pit
eOusly, but was unable to speak. Maria,
by means Of a rope, greatly lessened
the height of the leap, and escaped
with slight bruises, although she was
badly burned. Ellen Hoover died
while being placed in wagon to be
moved to hospital. The brave
woman was thirty-three years of age,
married, and the mother and support
of seven children, her husband, tan
ner, having been for a time incapable
for work Ann Patterson was re-
moved to St. Mary's hospital, where
she died about noon in great agony.
She was an unmarried woman Of thir-
ty-one years. Maria Hoover was
taken to st. Mary's hospital, and it is
feared that her terrible injuries by fire
will prove fatal.
