Miss Fannie Florence, she, who so
gracefully displayed herself with

"Femsle Forty Thieves" was
in Bridgeport with her liege lord, PAUL
Allen, who manipulated the bones.
There they absorbed more or less lager

ME succumbed, to such sn extent as to
cause her bone rafting partner to blush.

Fannie was heard to call to her PAUL TO

the heavy villain IN the play, Paul
kicked, he would not notice her, ard her
appeal passed by uuheeded. Then Fannie
became wrathy; she threatened dire ven
geance, and swore by the "hOly hill O.
howth" that she'd jump Oft the bridge.
SutiRg the action to the word, the
female placed her hands on the railing,
and was about to precIptste herself into
the "seething" waters below; but the
writer calling to her, and recommending
that she sHght into the torrent head
foremost, so as to make sure work and
afford sensation, caused her to take a
second sober thought, and much to the
regret of suffering public, she took not
the fatal leap. But such Is life, and the

The latest report in regard to young

believe to be reliable is, that he loved
"nOt wisely but too wei" and affairs
coming TO a crisis he sought safety in
flight We state the rumor as it has been
told to US without expressing any opin-
ion rs To whether 1t is true or false. 1t is
said that fortune-teller has, after con-
sulting the oraCles, announced that he
is hid in board.pie with his throat cut.
1t is to be regretted that the wiseacre
did not locate the particular pile, as it
would be considerable trouble to over

then fEd no corpse. The subject has

girl is at the bottom of the whole business.

Almost an Accident.

An elderly man, whose name was not
ascertsined, was saved from q horrible
death yesterday afternoon through the
presence of mind displayed by John
Reister, one of the nailers at the Bel
mont mill. The man was walking on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
was entirely unaware that one Of the
freight engines, No. 864, was gaining on
him very rapidly. When within ten
yards of the man, his dsnger was OBJ
served by Mr.. Reister, who, by calm
loudly to him, succeeded in alarming
him sufficiently to cause him 10 make Il
quick retreat. The engine bell was ring
ing st the time, but the noise Of the ms
chinery in the mill prevented It's being
beard. The nearly victim was heartily
grateful to Mr.. Reister for his successful
efforts to save him.

MIL Items,

One of the most interesting evidences
of good management that we have wit
messed took place st the Belmont mill
Yesterday. 1t was simple in itself, but it
awoke train Of thoughts which culmi-
mated in the belief that for careful look
ing after the small as well as the great
things, nail factory is the place. The
work referred to was the breaking of
worn out rolls, preparatory to their manu-
facture into nails. This wss done by
building under, around and on top OF the
rolls a huge fire and heating them to a
red heat, both inside and out. When the
proper degree OF heat had been attained
all obstacles were removed and the mass
was rolled by heavy bars in the hands Of
strong men into the river, where the sud
den cooling caused them to break into a
hundred pieces-In sizes weighing from
five to five hundred pounds. They will
remain IN the water until the river falls
wuen they will be taken to the mill for
final disposal.
