Whatever may have been the fail
ures of Edward Payson Weston on the
sawdust ring, he deserves some sort of
credit for covering more ground straight
away than any other pedestrian. His
1,200-mile walk from Portland, Me-, to
Chicago, was virtually the beginning
OF Professionalism in this country. He
has now in England successfully COM
pleted 5000 miles in 100 days, under
the auspices Of the temperance people,
who employed him to disseminate
their principles, and at the same time
to illustrate that physical endurance is
greater when stimulants are not used.

the roofs 1t was with the utmost difficulty
and danger that even this could be done
owing to the rapid spread of the fire. When
the firemen gained the roof horrible spec
tacle met their gaze. Mrs. Gertig and her
son, both terribly burned, were found lying
near the scuttle, through which they had
evidently escaped. A few moments more
and the flames which were already bursting
through the roof, would have ended
their existence. The unfortunate woman
was terribly burned and unconscious
when discovered, and the boy was
almost as badly Off They were removed to
Bellevue hospital, where Mrs. Gertig died
without regaining consciousness. The flesh
was literally burned off portions of her body.

small rear room off this, and leading to the
hall, had another supply of sticks and ex-

No trace of Leo Gertig, the proprietor, could
be found, but it was learned that he has
been respondent of late and was
not successful in business. He had
quarrel with his wife Friday
and went out, remaining all day. He re-
turned at night and took some money, saying
he wanted to pay the beer man. Accounts
differ as to what became of him, but few

house intoxicated, and arrested him on q

had been out on drunk, and knew nothing
about the fire He was taken to the Tomts
