From Burning Bed.
There were cries and a strong smell of
smoke coming from the fourth story back
room of No. l03 avenue A, New York, ON
Thurday night as Mr.. Gergengack, one of the
tenants, went up stairs. She ran down to the
street and called for help. Two men, named
Frank Albertus and Samuel Finer re-
sponded. They found the door of the
back room locked, but hearing yells of terror
within they kicked in the panels, only to be
almost blinded by the smoke that came
pouring out AS soon as they could the
men crawled through the broken door. A
large bed in the middle of the room was
in fames, and near it was a young
a baby she had snatched up from catching fire,
while in a corner stood little girl four years
old with her hair in blaze. One man paid
attention to the bed, while the other took
care of the little girl. In few minutes all
the flames were extinguished. The room is
occupied by the family of August Breihof,
which consists of himself, wife and two
children--Katie, aged four years, and Henry,
an infant. The young woman was Jenny

to give the alarm at first, but the girl says
she smelled the smoke and ran in to
them. She did not hesitate to rush
into the flames and grab both little
ones. The servant was found after the
police arrived to have been terribly burned.
Her face, handsand arms were almost roasted
in spots, and there were several large burns
upon her body. She was removed in an am
bslance to Bellevue hospital in very dan
gerous condition. The surgeons did not
think that she could survive. The rescued
children were less seriously injured. The
little girls scalp was badly blistcred, but the
baby escaped almost unharmed. Both will
soon recover.

young woman's marriage. These prophecies
are now recalled by Mrs. John butcher, OF

drcn were born to her, and then three of
them died. Last week, in the thirtieth year
of her marriage, she gave birth to the four
