a Baptism of Burning OF.


Mr.. and Mrs Samuel Schwab. well
known in Kingston, New York, had a
very narrow escape from losing their lives
at the fire at the Standard OH Works, at
Greenpont. Captain Schwab's boat was
lying at the docks with load of coal for
the works and was partly unloadcd, when,
at about O'Clock Sunday afternoon, a
terrible explosion wus heard and il was
discovered that one of the oil tanks was on
fire and there was great danger OF others
exploding, and the captain, seeing the dam
ger he was in, cast off his Lines from the
OIL scow alongside of linn, as the scow was
loaded with cans full Of oil. But lust as
he was about pushing of another tank ex-
ploded, scattering tho OIL in all directions.
All at once the flames and oil came roar
ing from under the dock and tho oil scow
caught fire and the cans exploded.
In the meantime, Captain Sch wab and
wife were on their boat, not twenty feet
away. TO escape to tho dock was I'M
possible, as the whole place was on fire,
and the wind blowing IN the opposite d.
rectlon blew his boat toward the flames.
To jump overheard was impossible, as the
whole creek was one blaze of fire. A third
tank exploded, throwing timbcrs and iron
over their heads and in all directions for a
quarter of mile around. Their own boat
was also burning fast When the fire on
the water seemed to be cxtngulshcd, Mr..
Schwab jumped overheard aud he called
to his wife To jump also, which she did.
They clnng to the burning boat for fifteen
minutes. A man named David Sutton
picked them uD.in small boat. Mr..
Schwab's hands were badly burnt. fIis
wife's hands arc burnt severely. Two
fingers on one hand and one on the other
were burnt to the bone, where she had
been holding on piece Of no, iron where
the wood had already been burned off
They were Immediately taken to a place
and cared for.

1t became necessary recently for DR..
Townsend, the physician in charge of the
Paterson, New Jersey, smallpox hospital
end his five assistants, to take oath to their
accounts In order that the bills might be
presented to The meeting OF the aldermen.
1t was thought imprudcnt to allow them
TO 60 Gown through the city to the re-
coldcr's office, and on the other hand Re-
corder Greaves did not care TO 90 to the
hospital TO administer the oath. After
pondcring over the matter he decided to
send Assistant City Physician Hurd to the
hospital with the bills as his proxy. The
doctor got the hospital physician and his
assistants to sign the ailiiavIts on the end
OF their bills, and then hunted up d Bible.
When all had put their hands or the
book, DR.. Hurd went TO the telephone in

''Thcy havcS" answered the recorder
in surprise. "Why, didn't hear it. Let

The kisses were repeated wit. an energy
that sent the reports vibrating over the
wire vigorously enough to be reproduced
on the metallic disk al the receiving end.

short time afterwards DR.. Hurd drove
up TO the station house and laid the atllda-
WITS before the recorder, all properly Sign

These bills went in with the other

Boar Hunting by Royalty.

Tho chief sporting paper of Vienna
has published the description OF a bear
hunt in Transylvanla which is gene
rally attributed to tho pen of the Grown
Prince Rudolph, and is perused with
great interest. After relating the inci-
dents OF tho first unsuccessful day,
during which several bears were met
with and wounded, but not q single one
killed, the Grown Prince contiLues:-
"On the 27th September we still hunted
III the forest, but close to its edge,
| where titled fields and houses would be
likely to prevent tho boar from escaping
out OF the wood. Tho drivers first
| trail was in vain--no bear showed itself;
but their second march through tho
wood was moro successful. The row of
hunters stood III deep trench in which
grew splendid old pines (each hunter
has his treuchmnn and several Young
forcstcrs behind him, who load the rifles
and present thom to tho huntcr). After
waiting for some time powerful owl
flew by me, and Immediately afterwards
came two-ycar old brown bear. who
tfottcd down the mountain side, making
Tor the space between Count NJ. and
Baron j. just rs he was reaching Tho
plain the Baron shot him in the slloul-

and ran away at great speed, so that the

rifle, slipped and fell, 80 that his trench-
man WAS obliged to send shot after the
animal which caused it to fall and roll
forward, Another shot from the trench

life. after he had risen from the ground,
and made Il few PAGES moro. Tho bear
was borne home in Triumph" On the
Z)th OF September the Crown Prince
hnd an active share in the hunt, which
he describes us follows 1--WE had

pearcd Il second time L consolod my
self with the idea that when tho drivers

sorry to say my wish was not fulfilled.
We did not soc him again. Very soon

the low OF hunters beforo him, turned
round, and escaped by throwing down n

candidly owns that he did not kin II

which the noble hunters pursued the
