MIR. w. w. Davis Rescucs child Mt Occo-
ousn, and Charlie IxaIbfus Saves Tw~
Men at Cape May.
An exhibition of heroism, which sustains
ono's faith in humanity for its unselish and
modest galantry. occurred at Occoquan
Yesterday. A number of people went down
on tho Mary Washington TO that place. Mr.
W. w. Davis, of the War department, with
his wife, and Mr.. j. r. Clements wero walk
ing on the lock above the old mill when Mrs.
Davis proposed to go down the bank to gather
ferns. She had hardly started when Maude
Sterling, the twelve-year-old daughter Of Mr..
Henry II. Sterling, Of tho paymaster
generals office fell from rock
on which she was seated into n
pool at its base, where the water is twelve to
fourteen feot deep. Mr.. Davis instantly
spraug to tho rescue, lcapcd down the slip
perry and precipitous rocks and plunged into
the basin. Mr.. James A. Savoy, the we'll
known barber at 337 Pennsylvania avenue,
also started to tho rescue. Tho little girl
went down twice, when Mr. Davis caught
her, and brought her to the edge of the rock,
which was slippery with moss. Here Mr..
Savoy, who had just reached tho edge of tho
pool, caught her, and helped them
both out. Tho child was insensible
when taken out of the water, but was soon
resusctated. Mr.. Davis was instantly sur
rounded by the entire party, each one proffer-
ing congratulations on his successful heroism.
He, however, modestly repelled the attentions
of tho party, saying it was only what any
man would have done. "Why," said he,
"Savoy was Just behind me, and If I had been
second later he would have jumped in and
brought her out"
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Savoy both deserve the
warmest commendation for their gallant
action.

A VICTIM OF YELLOW FEVER.
Death OF DIR. A. Nj. owen, OF tho Navy, Al
Pensacola Yesterday.


DR.. A. NJ. Owen, United States surgeon,
died yesterday at p. m. of yellow fever, at
Pensacola navy yard. His little son had
been attacked by the fever on Monday, and
fears are entertained that his case is fatal.
DIR. Owen was made assistant surgeon May
90 1869. His record has been one of contin-
uous service, he being everywhere regarded
as an Industrious hard working, and Jealous
officer. He was on June 8, 1869, ordered to
duty at Mare Island, CAL; in April, 1870, re-
ported. on board the Ossipee, flagship of the
North Pacific squadron June 6, 1871,
was transferred to sloop st. Ma
rys, and cruised among the South
Sea islands and in Australian waters. In
August, 1873, was ordered to marine rendez-
vous at Philadelphia, and in October of same
year to the Philadelphia navy yard, and in
November to recruiting duty at Detroit; Jan.
s, 1874, was assigned to duty at Philadelphia,
and March 8, 1874, promoted passed assistant
surgeon; Dec. IL, 1874, was ordered to frigate
Brooklyn, of the south Atlantic station. The
yellow fever occurred on this frigate, and DIR.
Owen was indefatigable in combating it,.
Luckily, he escaped it himself. July
A, 1876, he was ordered to receiv-
ing ship Worcester at Norfolk, and
March 2, 1877, was transferred to frigate
Franklin. June s. 1877, he was sent to ma
rine headquarters at Washington, and thence
to Pensacola. He was in charge of the navy
yard at that place last summer when the
yellow fever devastated the town, and kept
it out of the navy yard. ......-.
DIR. owen was beloved by all who knew
him. His skill rs n physician was everywhere
recognized and his efficiency appreciated. He
married anieCe of Capt Queen, of the United
