THE FIRST ALARM.

| AaE C11tSA ALaHM4
The first inttnation Of the fire received at tbt
| nre-aIarm office was from a halfgrown boy
] who rushed in and said: s'Fire in the Post
| Office" Almost at the same moment boxc:
No. 49, corner Monroe aud Dearborn streets
| and No. II, corner OF Adams and Clark streets
were turned in,-one at 3:27 and the other at
3:32. The young man, whose name is Michael
! Nugcut, was employed in the distributing de-
! partment Of the Post t-od1ce, and had been sent
by the :. head Of the department, Mr..
Vierline, to give the alarm. A string
! with key at either end was given
him. One OF the keys fitted the fire-alarm box
No. Il, and the other some door III the building.
Unfortunately, the youth got hold Of the lat
ter, and tried to open the signal-station door
with it. OF course be couldn't do so, but he
persisted in the attempt, it never occurring to
him, in his excitement, that the other one
might fit, and, after lire minutes Of vain effort,
he concluded to run to the central office, abou t
block distant, and tell the operators. The
Fire-Insurance Patrol got an alarm on the me
chanical telegraph, and were the frat to reach
the scene, one Of the men turning in Boz No.

Nos. l, s.; 10, H.. 13, 81, with trucks l, 2,
and G--smoke was issuing from the root,
though there was apparently no fire between it
and the basement, from the Adams street
entrance, to which vast volume Of smoke was
pouring out. AS the structure was firc stories

the latter being beyond the reach OF ground

that more help was needed, and at 3:40 sent in

steamers and five trucks, a1i Of which we're at
work by 5 o'clock, and most OF them we're on
duty the greater part Of the evening.
As NEAR Us can be ascertaincd. the fire broke
out in the basement near the boiler, and spread
thence into the carpcnter-shop. 4 stea1n-flttcr
named Harry Odcnhaugh ran upstairs shouting
fire to alarm. the occupants OF the different
rooms. In very few minutes, however, the
smoke was SO dense in the Railways that escape
by the stalrwa7s was cut off, and about twenty
people, mostly women employed in the bas-re-
pairing room, experienced considerable difficulty
in getting out Of the. upper stories. All, how
ever, were rescued. The smoke drove out the
employees Of the Post-Ot1ice, but not before
those in the tnoney-order office and stamp de-
partments had put their books, papers, money,
etc, into the vaults. The men in the west wing
had to run for their lives. this portion,
though separated from the main building by q
court, filling SO rapidly with smoke that they
could not save anything. The iremen, how
ever, went in and hoistcd the windows, and, the
smoke being driven out BY the wind, the EN-
ployes went to work with will and in very
short time had all the mail in the street, whence

FIVE FEMALE FORMS
Spring Into the Air, Plunge Into the
Water, and Swim q Race.

Five young women in neatly fitting
suits stood timidly upon the float in
front of Raun's swimming baths, at the
foot of East Sixty-ifth street, yester-
day afternoon. They were the Misses
Carrie Ryan, Emma Renner, Clara
Friend, Mary S~teinberg, and Julia Hez-
man, anxiously awaiting the boat that
was to take them out into the middle of
the stream, where they were to swim a
race Of 400 yards. When the craft
came, however, n and all refused to
go, fearing the gaze of the multiudes
that lined the shores, and those who
were padding about in rowboats. Holtz,
their teacher, for whose benefit this
and other races had been arranged, ar
gued with them for a long time, and
finally with some success.
"I'l 60 If you will, Mary" said Miss
Clara Friend to a tall, dark complex
Toned young woman in a pretty blue
costume. The latter hesitated a mo-
ment, looked lntently at the mass of
spectators, and then exclaimed as she
sprang from her seat:
VERY well, Fill go. Come girls, let's
all go!''
The enthusiasm Of the last speaker
q magic effect upon the faltering,
frightened girls. One after another
they sprang into boat and were rowed
out into the stream.
Are you ready?" said Mr.. Holtz,
when they had reached a point midway
the two shores.
Eyes, they answered.
All sprang upon the thwarts and
seats of the boats.
Then go!" said Holtz.
At the word. FIVE symmetrical female
forms sprang into the air, turned half a
somersault, and pierced the smooth wa
tiers like SO many arrows. The tide was
on the first of the ebb, and the current
was running fully six knots an hsur.
In some places the whirling eddies in
dicated the meeting of counter currents.
These were carefully avoided by the
swimmers. Miss Ryan had a touch of
cramp when nearing the first quarter.
She at once turned over on her back
and ioated. Her action and the ex-
preston of pain upon her face was
signal enough for MI. Holtz, who row.
ed alongside and took her aboard. Miss
Ryan is said to be a very plucky swim
mer, and had it not been for this acct
dent would have stood a good chance of
winning the race. Her companions,
with Miss S~teinberg at their head,
struck out sturdily for the stake boat.
Miss Herman tried the hand-over-hand
stroke, and seemed at intervals to al
most spring out Of the water, Miss
Emma Renner, who was just ahead of
her, was swimming with a..graceful side
action, having first one shoulder and
then the other submerged. Toward
the goal, Miss Friend, an exceedingly
graceful swimmer, made a fine effort to
overtake Miss Steinberg, who was lead
ing her by about three lengths. Near
the stake boat the pair, throwing water
from their mouths and shouting like
porpoises, were almost abreast. Then
Miss Steinberg, who had not been do
ing her best, made a dash for the goal,
and touched it about one length ahead.
Time, 1:4Ot. A good medal was given
her.-New York Sun.

Under the heading How Harry D.
Winsor stepped from a prison cell to
fame and fortune, on the strength Of a
Buffalo mans invention" the Buffalo
Ners relates at some length that Mr..
Winsor was once business manager of a
certain ''Flanigan Pavement Com
pany," and was thrust in Jail on a
charge of forgery. The article pro-
ceeds: "While he was confined at Buff
falo a lawyer in Mr.. Buffers interest
called at the Jail and conversed with
him OF the subjects Of his difficulties.
The clever, acute, clear headed and
genial character of the young man i'm
pressed him greatly; and, foreseeing
that the charge against him would not
stand, he offered him the agency for
the Lay torpedo boat, a new invention
which has since demonstrated its zap
acity to annihilate all the ironclad
navies of the world, with a promise
that if he demonstrated his ability in
introducing the machine he would re-
receive a one-fourth interest in the in
vestment. Winsor closed with the pro-
position and after getting through his
Detroit difficulties went into the tor
pedo business. The capabilities Of the
machine being c~onclusively ascertain
ed, it was entered for the great tourna-
ment of torpedo boats at st. Petersburg,
some eighteen months ago. The Rus
sian government offered a prize of $780,
900 and expenses paid for the best tor.
pedo boat, which would comply with
several minimum conditions of speed,
ease and destructiveness. There were
no less than forty-four torpedo boats
entered, the inventors belonging te
nearly every civilized nation, but the
Lay boat bore off the prize. The Lay
invention consists of a boat nineteen
feet in length, thirty inches beam and
eighteen inches hold--a long cigar bear.

Prince in Disguise.

The Prince of Wales is said to have
some skill in the theatrical art OF
'making up" which he acquired from
the late Mr.. Fechter. One day the
prince suddenly presented himself be-
fore his mother attired IS a beggar, his
dress tattered, his face dirty and his
hair-or rather wig-in appropriate dis
order. The queen, not doubling that
by some means a genuine beggar had
got into the palace, flew in great alarm
to a bell. but before the attendants
could reach the room, her son had
thrown off his disguise. He was ex-
ceedingly proud of the fact that the
queen had not recognized him.
