necessary laws, which had been perfected

stories below him was the street and the

waved one of his hands to the crowd below.

Binns now made his ladder fast to
sixth story window and quickly reached it.
From there it was but the work Of mo-
ment to scale to the window, where just be-
fore the boy had stood awaiting his coming.
But Louis had disappeared. Overcome
by the hot smoke that poured out of the
windows, Louis fell fainting upon the floor.
Binns did not stop to think of the danger
before him, but into the room he leaped
and crawled through the sitting smoke an
til he found the boy. Binns arms were
about him in an instant, and he was car
ried to a window, where he revived.
"Be cool, boy, you are safe. The danger
is passed" said Binns, as the boy opened
his eyes and recognized the uniform Of the
fireman. Cheers from the crowd below rent
the air as Binns passed the boy down to Life
Saver McAvoy, who was below on the sixth
Story, by whom he was passed down to
others, and finally safely placed upon the
street The other tenants, who had been
cut off, having escaped to an adjoining roof,
the work of the life savers was ended.

PHILADELPHIA, March S.-When Doctor
Goerson was hanged yesterday, two convicts
confined in the prison were terribly effected
by the knowledge of what was going on.
Joseph Barrett, Fifty. five years old, confined
in cell near the gallows, showed intense
interest in the hanging, but information
was denied him. His cell was sealed during
the execution, but Barrett must have heard
the footsteps of the solemn procession on its
way to the gallows. When his cell was
opened he was found dead His death is
attributed to fright. The other man, Joseph
TAYLOR, under sentence of death for mur-
der, became delirioas with fear. He heard
the noise as he sat in his CELL The echo Of
the falling doors had hardly died away
when the murderer was found writhing in
commissions.
