III. a M4ANlAG.
There was one man who occupied a
room on the fifth floor Of the Walnut
street front who might easily have found
his way down the halls and by way Of
the ladies' entrance on Fifth street, but
he kept his place for twenty minutes,
until suddenly cloud OF smoke swept
over the roof and down upon him, and
he seemed to become desperate all st
once. He took the sheets from his bed,
and could be plainly seen as he tore
them In strips and tied the ends togeth-
er. Fastening this improvised rope to
the bed and window-sill. and disregard
ing the fact that 1t did not reach more
than twelve feet, he erawled out and let
himself down hand over hand very
slowly. Men below who saw his
position turned away their heads
to avoid witnessing the sicken-
ing event that was inevitable.
Finally he reached the end OF the sheet
and then for the first time he seemed to
realize his position. He stopped, threw
his head back, and swung slowly to and
fro, swayed by the breeze which the
roaring flames above created. His

who swore they had to leave Laurens

views with members of the joint committee
on the electoral count, just after their re-
port was made, Mr.. McCrary, Of Iowa,
was one of the Republican members of
the house committee, and he spoke of
our talented Democratic member from
the Springfield district as follows:
"Mr. McCrary also paid a very high
compliment to his Democratic associates.
He said that he was surprised at their ex-
hibition of patience and real statesman

spoken during the discussions of the com
mittee. He thought Bavard and Thurman
model public men. He also said that
Springer, of the house committee, had
given way more of his prejudicies than any
man in the committee. He had by his
manly concessions shown himself 70 be far
above party considerations. Mr.. McCrary
had acquired a prejudice against Springer
in the debates upon the floor, but here
after he would regard him as one of his
most valued friends.

Although the Republicans failed to car

Braddock aud Green, and they were taken

Edith O'Gorman, who processes 10 be an

Iowa, and the religious orthodox papers
of course are helping Edith along. And
if Edith will only lecture in Davenport we
will help her along. Edith is brick. and
we believe first class fraud as well; in
fact If Edith was not female VS. should
talk rather plain about her, for we do think
she has sold her soul to the devil for a

Times
Edith is an old humbug whose fimsey
stories were exposedin the papers of Pat
erson and Jersey City, several years ago.
The best 'streak of luck" she ever had
was when some over jealous Catholics in
New Jersey, at Newark We think, exasper-
| ated at her abominabe TRADE of lies, dis
turbed her meetings, That was a perfect
godsend to her; it was her capital in trade;
it set her right up in business. Zeke
Pangborn, of Jersey City, took Edith
under bis little wing and for awhile she
drew like poor mans plaster. But she
soon played" in the east. Still there are
good many bigoted Protestants Who's
morbid appetites are whetted by Edith's
played out stories. Let her rip.
