THE ESCAPE.

Just as the first flames broke out the atten-
ton Of the crowd was drawn to five men who
appeared at one Of the open windows Of the
foartn story near the north end, aud be-
gan gesticulating wildly. Little OF their
words could be heard, but it was evident
that they were cut off by the smoke from the
stairway and could not escape. There vas no
fire-escape within reach OF them On that side of
the building no ladder long enough at hand,
aud for nearly fifteen minutes they gazed help
lesslE down at the ever-thlckenfng multitude

Of out Of harms reach, the Captain was nearly
paralyzcd with cold and astonishment at re-

Of q canary aud poll-parrot.
Mr. Kline, OF the Postmaster's Office, was no.
titled of the fire after it had obtained such head
way as to imperil his escape. He went to door
communicating with the elevator aud found
that was cut off from the means Of exit, and that
lie was left to perish unless the interpositton Of
Providence should prevail in his behalf.
After trying every means accessible,
he at last found rope depending
from the roof, and slid into the cold mud salva-
ton By this means. The rope was raised BY
Charles Palmer, OF Truck l, and proved the only
means Of escape for Mcssrs. How1and, Hovey,
Thompson, Baker, and webber, all of whom
came safely down without sustaining any pcrma-
nent injuries.

occupants Of the floor to secure her escape, but
she was deaf to their entreaties. All left her to
an apparently horrible fate, which seemed to
shadow her footsteps, and reached places OF

Stealing the Messng O.

The stealing OF the Presidents mes.
sage and Secretary Sherman's report
and the seating Of Senator Baldwin, O
Michigan, in Zach Chandler's place
recalls an incident when Baldwin was
Governor of that State. He was terri
bly, afraid his annual message would
be stolen and published prematurely
The Detroit Free Press, Tribune and
Post, in order to publish it the morn.
ing after 1t was read to the Legislature,
asked for copies by mail in advance
from Lansing, but 1t was "no CO."
There was then but single telegraph
wire in Detroit, and but an inexperi-
need country operator at the capital,
10 whom a job Of $4,000 words was
next to impossible; but the two Repub-
lican dailies, the Tribune and the Post,
bribed him to try it. 1t cost them $50
bach, and then they got it in horri-
ply mixed-up condition, full of blum
iers. Meanwhile the Free Press repor-
fer, since famous oyer the signature of
M, Quad" by an agreement to pay
fl00 procured an order from the super
ntendent of the railroad from the en-
zine to the first freight train that should
(rrive at Lansing to be despatched and
barry him to Jackson, where he could
aeet a Michigan Central train coming
nto Detroit. The freight train came
ate, and I'M. Quad" just caught the
ther train at Jackson. He reached
be Office at 3 A. NJ, with the pamphlet
his pocket. The printers were all
eady and it was set up at once, beat
lg the other newspapers one hundred

Seriously Hurt.

A narrow escape with life happened
to Mr.. Fredrick Albright at the new
pulp works, now in process of erection
on the Christiana Just above the Whann
Phosphate Mandatory, few minutes
before II O'Clock, yesterday. While
engaged in erecting the piling, one of
over weight proved too much for those
engaged in setting it and in its rapid
descent caught..Mr. Albright under it
and carried him about thirty feet,
fracturing his left leg in two places, and
otherwise bruising it very much. He
was removed to his home where DR..
West reduced and dressed the frac-

The New Methodist Protestant
Church.

An error crept into our article on the
new Church Organization, in yester-
days issue, inasmuch as the parties
starting the movement are not from
the Scott M. L. Church, but are made
up of the late members of the City
Mission, Epworth and other Churches.
Rev. John Gray, James Budd and
others are the prime movers. They
hold their first public services to-mor-
row, at 1880 a. m, and 7.30 p. M,
in Penn Library Hall, Sixth and Penn
streets, to which the public are cordial
ly invited. Rev. Mr.. Potter will preach
in the morning. In the evening there
will be regular services again, after
which the church organization will
doubtless be perfected.

No Dissensien in the Scott Church.

We are informed that so far from any
persons having left Scott Church to Or
ganize Protestant Church as the pa
psrs enormously represented yesterday,
the above church has not been to ap-
pearance In more prosperous state for
a long time than now. The attendance
at worship is good and the Sunday ev
ening congregations especially are
large. Several persons have recently
professed conversion and the revival
spirit seems to be on the increase. Last
night several persons expressed a de-
sire to be saved, by presenting them
selves for prayer. Sunday will be de-
voted to revival work. Bro. David
Dodd, one of the most efficient preachers
of Christ in these parts will assist the
church in its work next week. Those
who have q mind to help on the cause
of God in this period of spiritual dearth
are invited to help in this Great under
taking.

Adjusted at Last.

The mare "May," owned by Mr..
Morrison, of Christiana, Del, is at last
restored to full turf privilege. She had
been suspended by the Galen Driving
Park Association for non-payment of
entrance on the part of her owner. This
fee Mr.. Morrison refused to pay simply
because its payment was conditional
upon his mare winning the race, and
the race was disputed. The Board of
Review, of the National Trotting Assos
citation, at its meeting in New York on
Thursday, removed the penalty of sus-
pension.
