A TERRIBLE SCARE.
Women and Children Flung From High
Windows at n New York Fire.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The inmates of the
four story tenement, No. 2195 Second
avenue, were aroused early this morning
by an alarm of fire. The flames broke out
in the basement, and communicating with
the dumb waiter and air shafts as well as
the stairway, reached every floor, and filed
the whole house with dense clouds of
smoke. The building was without fire
escapes. The windows in the front of
the house appeared the only means of
escape. The wife of James, Morris, who
lived on the third floor, leaped from the
window to the awning and rolled into
the street, receiving severe inju-
ries. Her husband threw the
baby after her. 1t was caught by a
neighbor as it dropped from the avn
ing and was uninjured. Morris himself
made his way down in safety. John Nc
Mahon, who lives on the top floor, attempt
ed to lower his wife and baby from the
window by means of sheets tied together,
but the fabric gave way and the woman
and child came crashing down upon the
awning which broke beneath their weight.
Mrs. McMahon fell upon the sidewalk and
was picked up unconscious, her skull frac-
severe internal injuries. The infant lodged
upon an awning and was unhurt. McMa>
hon clambered down from window to wins
dow. Louis Landon and his wife, who oc>
cupied the rear rooms on the second hoor,
jumped from the window into the yard be-
low. Mrs. Landon fell upon some stone
steps and had her left arm broken. Jacob
Betz, a butcher, wrapped his baby up in q
blanket and dropped it from the third
story window into the arms OF a man stand
ing in the yard. The child's head struck
the shoulder of the man and was knocked
out of shape. Betz and his wife escaped
by means of ladder provided by neigh
bors.

RKRLIN, July 12.-Many prominent news
hApers in Germany are urging the Govern
snent to recall DIR. Koch, SO that he may be
at hand to advise his own people in the
hour of peril. DIR. Koch remains firm in
his already expressed opinion that the
cholera scourge must spread throughout
Europe. 1t has taken so firm a hold IN
such large centers of communication as
Marseilles and Toulon, that he believes it
must run its course during the summer
throughout Continental Europe. He says
that America, If great vigilance is exer-
cised In quarantine precautions, will prob
ao!y escape, but holds out no hope for
countries isolated simply by technical
frontier lines.
MARsEILLEs, July 12-Thirty deaths
from cholera here last evening, and eight
between nine o'clock and noon to>day.
There were sixty-five deaths from the dis.
ease here In the past twenty-four hours.
1he panic Is extreme. The railway sta
lions were crowded early this morning
with fugitives who fought for tickets,
which the agents could not is
sue fast enough. It is estimated that
one hundred and twenty thousand people
have left Marseilles since the outbreak, and
the distress consequent upon such an abb
normal exodus from that city and Toulon,
particularly in the outlying districts,
which depended almost solely for existence
ON their urban trade, is pitiful.
TouLoN, July 12.-Seventeen deaths from
cholera last evening. Five deaths from
cholers since ten this morning. Isolated
cases of cholera are reported among
Toulonese refugees at Laseyne and Pig,
mans.
the cases of cholera reported yesterday to
be sporadic.
LYONS, July 12.-Oae death from cholera

MODERN MAZEPPA.
A Young Englishman Stripped, Tied to
a Wild Broncho and Started Over
the Plains.


OMAHA, NEB., July I'm. Boussaud,
wealthy cattle owner, whose herds range
in the unorganized territory Of Northwest
ern Nebraska, has just returned from the
annual ''round up" in that region, and re.
lates tale of the plains that Is in some re-
spects counterpart OF the orthodox Mazep-
pa. When Boussaud reached his ranch,
about the middle of June, he found his
cowboys nursing young man whom they
had rescued from the back of q broncho.
When discovered the modern Mazeppa was
lashed to the horse, entirely naked and
unconscious. The animal was about broken
down, as If from long running, and was
easily lassoed by the cowboys, who cut the
thongs and released the strange captive.
This happened about two weeks before
Boussand's arrival, and. during all that
time the stranger had lain in a stupor. A
few days before Boussaud left on
his return journey to Omaha,
having little medical knowl.
edge, he succeeded in restoring the
patient to consciousness, and his recovery
was rapid. When able to talk he said his
name was Henry Burbank. He was an Eng
lishman, and thirty,four years of age.
About three years ago, at Falmouth, Eng
land, he formed partnership with a
friend named Thos. Wilson, some years his
senior, and with him came to America to
eiuOaTk III bn6 cdtGle DuSiucSSss 1Acy CdSt
about for awhile, and finally settled
in Northwestern Nebraska, where the
range was unlimited and herders few
and far apart. They built comfortable
ranch by little stream, where Wilson's
wife reigned as housekeeper, attended by
two or three female domestics. Burbank
being q dashing young gallant, the jealousy
of Wilson was soon aroused. One day in
May cowboy who had grievance against
Burbank, surprised Burbank paying too
much attention to the woman, and reported
the matter to the husband. That night
Burbank was captured while asleep in bed
by Wilson and three of his men and bound
before he had chance to make any re-
sistance. Wilson had him stripped of every
bit of clothing and bound to the back of a
wild broncho, which was started of by a
vigorous lashing before morning. Burbank
became unconscious, and was, therefore,
unable to tell anything about his terrible
strip. He thinks that the outrage was
committed on the night of May q, and he
was rescued on the morning of June 8,
which would make seven days that he had
been travelling about the plains on tine
horses back, without food or drink, and
exposed to the sun and wind. Wilson's
ranch is about two hundred miles from the
spot where Burbank was found, but it is
hardly possible that the broncho took a
direct course, and therefore must have GOV.
cred many more miles in his wild journey.

Save the Mother-1e en- Buildings Burned.

BRADFORD, Pa, July ia fire started
at an early hour this morning in the bakery
of Mrs. Charles Reibley, and in a few min>
utes the building was O mass of flames
Early arrivals found man named Thomas
CLARK standing upon ladder which rested
against window of the Reibley dwelling.
He was begging for some one to come to his
aid, and cried, "For Gods sake throw some
water up here; I've got woman by the
arm" The scene was thrilling one.
The fire was roaring upward and kissing
out through the windows, presenting a
perfect hell of fame, and seemingly de-
fant of the mad efforts of the heroic
Clark to save human life. At this moment
two women jumped out of a rear story
window, and for moment the crowd or
spectators were paralyzed, many turning
their heads away from the appalling sight
in an agony of fear and trembling. Just
then the noble Clark succeeded in bring
ing to the window-sill the form of a woman
blackened, bruised and bleeding. 1t was
found to be the unfortunate Mrs. Reibleys
who, with all the instincts Of maternity,
held back and struggled with her noble
rescuer, as If she was determined to die
with her babes, who at that time were
burned to a crisp. At last Clark succeeded
ladder, and ready hands were there to help
him in his daring and self-sacrifcing deed of
heroism. The poor woman was taken
across the street, and laid upon the side
walk, breathing her last. Mrs. Reibley's
two children, age two and six years, re.
spectively, and Swedish servant girl,
perished in the flames. The dead are Mrs.
Reibley, Mary and Lizzie Reibley and
Helen Podoski. John Holden, barber,
who roomed in the house, was SO terribly
burned that he died tonight. Lena Gar
| witz, Mary Touhey and II, Garwick are
| badly burned. Miss Touhey leaped from
a second-story window breaking four ribs
in the fall. Her injuries are probably
| fatal. Mrs. Garwitz also jumped, and re-
ceived bad injuries. Her recovery is
doubtful. Thos. Clark, who rescued
Mrs. Reibley, is from Denver, Col.
He was stopping at Reibley's and
heard the first alarm. He sprang out of
| the rear entrance with his coat and
vest in his hand. He knew of the presence
of the other dodgers in the building, and at
once set about his work of rescue. He
| placed the ladder against the window, and,
| notwithstanding the seething flames which
| almost surrounded him, he caught hold of
Mrs. Reibley's arm, and, trying to pull her
out, the cuticle of the arm stripped off like
| a stocking, and he was obliged to lean on
| the window to secure fresh hold. ALI
the time he was being drenched with water,
| and he thinks if the poor woman had not
| pulled back he could have saved her life.
| The flames spread on both sides, consuming
ten buildings and an oil well.

MEXICAN VETERANS.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 11.-At meeting OF
the Mexican veterans here last night it
was decided to hold an International Con.

other prominent Mexican Government
officials, and they have promised to send
fifty prominent veterans of the Mexican
war to the convention. The committee ap-
pointed to take charge of the matter will
issue Invitations and make all necessary
preparations for the convention. 1t is ex
pected that this meeting will have a marked
effect in allaying whatever bad feeling the
Mexicans may have for Americans and do
much toward esta tablishing cordial goodwill
between the two republics.

3HOvER CLEN EllAND, OF new 1OEks
Grover Cleveland, the nominee of the DEM
ocratic Convention, has attained that dis
tinction in spite of perhaps the most deter
mined opposition ever made to a candidate
from his own State.
He was born in Caldwell, New Jer-
sey, March 10, 1887. At eighteen years
of age he arrived in Buffalo, as hs de.
scribes it, "friendless, unknown and poor,o
and was received by his uncle, who gave
him Q situation as clerk to support him
while studying law. After admission to the
bar he was appointed assistant district
attorney, and in 1868 elected sheriff,
In which office he developed his powers as
reformer to the disgust of the rings. He
was next called on to purify the Mayors
office, and did his work well and conscien-
tiously, succeeding admirably. The same
reason was given him to enter the canvass
for Governor of New York, resulting in
his triumphing over Folger by 200, 600 ma
jority, and now his work as reformer
meets national recognition in the fact that
he is called upon by great party to intro
duce similar reforms in the national ad.
