The Short Wnyto Fires.

Baltimore is quite indignant that New
York should lay claim 10 the invention and
Use OF poles in cngiue-hOuses 10 enable
fremen TO reach their apparatus when an
alarm sounds quicker than by stairway.

"Such poles have been in Use in Baltimore

Firemen's Convention in Chicago, in 1876,
they were first seen 10y Chief Engineer John
Vi. Hennick, who was 80 pleased with the
idea that he laid the matter before the Fire
commissioners, and on the 4th OF July,
1877, two poles were erected in No. truck
house, on Harrison street, and shortly after
in all the engine-hOuses in the city except
three. They have remained ever since,
and are great Improvement on the old
stairways. In No. truck-hOuse, through
the aid Of these poles, the men can have
their truck on the street in nine Sec

Of the alarm is given. and frequently
are on the street before the gong has
designated from what box the alarm was
turned in. The men who come down on
the poles can and do reach their stations
before those who descend the staircase have
come down three steps. In other engine
houses the plan works in the same way,
and but few seconds are necessary 10 get
the apparatus, horses. men, and all ready
for duty. The horses need no one 10 lead

How Corpse Came 10 Life.

Shortly before Christmas the long illness
OF Miss Nora Peterson, Young woman,
whose home was at the house Of her half
sister. Mrs. Adam May, Of Haywards, Cali
fornia, apparently ended in death. Prepa-
rations were made for the interment, but
on the day following the supposed death
the body was found 10 be warm. \ sheet
was drawn over the body and the night
watchers, including the physician in the
case. sat in the room. During the night
the girls eyelids were seen twitching. DIR.
GerStenburg applied reStoratives and the
patient recovered so that she could talk.
Several days elapsed and Miss Peterson
could still take medicine. In abouta week
death again seemed to come TO her relief,
but there was some warmth about the
body. san Francisco physicians, who were
summoned, pronounced the case very
singular one. A few days ago il was de-
cided that she was dead, and the interment
took place.
