WolseIey's Campaign I'm the SOu1au.

1t was of infinite importance that be-
fore any body of English troops were
cooped up in the neighborhood Of Ber-
Der or Khartoum the entire Nile valley
between those points and Cairo should
be secured Of enemies and its condition
well understood by the general in charge
of the campaign.
With the close Of the battle Of Brit

work, in the judgment of Wolseley.
has been pretty thoroughly done, and
if the campaign in the future is to he
an aggressive one the evident intention
is to open one OF two routes from Sua-
kim to Berber, making these routes the
means of speedy transportation OF
troops to the Khartoum region, and
with Berber or some near point on the
Nile as a base of operations to pound the
Mahdi and the Soudan into gradual sub
mission to British rule.
People who abuse WOlseley for choos-
ING the Nile route should bear this larger
fact in mind and they should also re-
member that Gordon constantly assert
ed that be could hold out in Khartoum
for AN indefinite length Of time.
So il was not crack-brained haste
that appeared to be needed, but a care
full clearing of the Nile valley to begin
with. and then such large and thorough
work by way of Suakim and the short
desert route to Berber as in due time
would end the entire uprising. This
scheme is now being executed with all
possible speed, and if the concensus OF
England justiiics the war it will be a
very complete undertaking inside OF
another wear.

ATheatre-Usher's Bravery.
New York Times.I


A cheap eating-house at No. 1873 west
Twenty-third street is kept by Theo-
dore Lichtwitz, who accommodates
transient guests with lodging on the
top floor. Thursday night three per-
sons slept there besides Julia Rajkin
and Mary Favre, servants. The girls
retired late, forgetting to extinguish
kerosene lamp which was on an arm at
tached to a wall-bracket.
At o'clock yesterday morning Julia
heard the lamp explode, and seeing
that the burning oil had set fire to the
bed they slept on, she aroused Mary
and ran to the hallway and shouted to
the three dodgers to save themselves.
Mary remained in the room to save
some of her property, and one Of the
dodgers, Louis S. Grenner. a theatre
usher. who is a member of the New
York Theatrical Attaches Association
and Camp Ours, |. o. r., ran in his
night dress to the aid of the girls, and
entered their room. Just then Mary
rushed out and the door was slammed.
II had no inner knob. and Grenner and
Julia were Gagged. and their fate ap-
peared certain.
Julia crOuched near window over
looking the yard, and the brave man
called encouragingly to her while he
fumbled at the door couple of feet
from the burning bed. His shirt caught
fire. and, becoming desperate. he got on
the foot of the bed so that the flames
enveloped his legs, and tried to open the
transom window. Ii was nailed up,
and breaking the glass with his hands,
he crawled through, decorating and
cutting himself shockingly. He fell
head first into the corridor, but
did not forget Julia, and opened
the door. She ran down stairs.
while he went to his room and took an
armful of clothes. He fell exhausted
when he reached the second-Story land
ing, and was taken to the New York
Hospital. He was alive last evening,
but his injuries are considered fatal.
The girls were not burned.
The fire Quilted the top floor and
damaged part Of the third. llchtwitz'S
loss is about $500, and the damage to
the building and frescOcs is from 500
to $500.

Miraculous Escape from Destruction
OF West.ShOre Passenger Train.

A Nyack-Turnpike special says The
HuGson-Riyer express train on the west
Shore road this morning miraculously
escaped calamity. As it was on the
high till which crosses the swamp near
this station. running thirty miles an
hour, the tire of one of the driving
wheels came off and became entangled
in the under works of the tender. The
ashpan Of the engine dropped and also
became cntangled, derailing the rear
truck of the tender and the front truck
of the mail-car. Thus crippled, the
train ploughed over the llackensack-
Creek bridge. stopping 800 yards be-
low the station.
The accident is singular on account
Of the escape of the passengers from
serious casualties. a. the aSphan while
being dragged along tore switch
guard rail from its chairs, and after car
rying il about four rail-lengths threw 1t
in the ditch on the outside of the track.
This Just happened in time to prevent
that most dreadful of possible acct
dents. running snake or
turning rail up into the train.
Engineer Fisher stood by his
post. although the connectlng-rodS
were bent and displaced and the supply
pipe OH one side of his engine was torn
off. The fireman, Stoutenbergh, OF
KINGSTON. fearing the result if the fill
was reached, jumped and fell, sustain
ing fracture of the hip. The pasSen-
gers were brought to the city by an On
tario and Western train. They knew
nothing of the danger until it had pass

Conductor Fuller and the brakeman.
