SAVED BY A CAT.
"A Family Narrowly Escape Being
Roasted In Their Sleep.


Roasted in Their sleep.
BINGHAM, Mass, Feb. 19.-The residence
of Frederick Reed was mysteriously fired
last night and burned to the ground and his
family consisting of five persons owe their
lives to a cat. Miss Lillian was suddenly
awakened at 1 o'clock this morning by the
meow, meow of Tabby, whose feline instinct
appraised her of the terrible danger menacing
the imperilled family. AS she became thor
oughly awakened the girl heard the cracking
of flames and saw the ruddy light flashing
into the room. Retreat from the rear stairs
being cut off by the fire she aroused her
brother and flying down the front stairs
cried, Mother, mother, the house is on fire. %
Mrs Reed, but partially awakened and mis-
experimenting the announcement, inquired
"Where is it?" I'm the house, was the re-
sponse. This answer thoroughly awakened
Mrs. Reed and brought her to a realizing
sense of the danger. Accusing her husband
they sprang from the bed and Selling a
blanket from the couch and throwing it
around the babe hastily fed from the build
ing out into the snow and frost in their night
clothes. Charlie had become awakened by
the turmoil and he'd escaped. The flames,
which had burned through from the porch
to the kitchen and were just commencing to
eat their way through the dividing wall be-
tween the kitchen and sitting room, made
rapid progress and in few moments envel-
oped the whole building. In leaving the
house Mrs Reed fell upon the ice and re-
ceived severe confusion of the spine from
which she is suffering to day. Help soon
arrived, the neighbors getting the alarm and
the shivering, suffering family were re-
moved to the house OF the nearest neighbor
where kind hands administered to their
yS11fc rbo1 how io11
of his feet while the other members of the
family suffered intensely from the bitter cold
in their semi-nude condition, the thermome-
ter being six degrees below zero.

way of final rejoinder said he never INDUCED
| in remarks unworthy of the Senate, though
| in this respect he might find examples set by
the Senator from Kentucky.
At this point the personal heat of the dis
cussion gradually simmered down and a vote
was called on Mr.. Sherman's amendment,
which was lost
The bill FORGETTING the lands granted to the
Texas Pacific railroad was then passed, Sc to
2, Messrs Blair and Bowen.
The only amendments incorporated in the
bill by the Senate were those by the Senate
Committee on Public Lands.
The Senate at 6:35 p. m. adjourned, the
chair having first laid before the Senate the
next special order, which is the Galveston
harbor bill.
HoUsE.-In continuance of yesterdays ses-
sion the House upon assembling to-day at
once went into Committee of the Whole on
the river and harbor bill The entire bill,
with the exception of that portion including
the Hennepin canal and the lower Mississippi
river improvement, was read through without
material change when the House adjourned
and was again called to order for to days ses-
sion.
Bills were passed for public buildings at
Key West, Fla, 100000, and at Auburn,
N. Y, $50,
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the river and harbor bill Mr.
hlScoCk OHoreu an amendment tAat the pro-
posed recti6cation of the mouths of the trib-
utaries of the Mississippi river should not be
based upon the levee system.
Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana, offered a substi-
tute to the effect that 1evees should not be
constructed to reclaim lands and to protect
private properly, but might be constructed
to carry out the plans of the commission;
adopted, 101 to So.
Various amendments to the Mississippi i'm
provement clause were offered by those hos
tile to that plan of improvement, but they
were voted down.
Without further progress and in accord
ance with the understanding with the APP
preparations committee, the committee at
$3.50 rose. At this time Mr.. Carlisle ap
peared and took the chair as Speaker His
return to the chair was greeted by the clap
ping of hands on the Republican equally
with the Democratic side and even the gal
leries joined in the welcome.
The House at 1875 went into committee on
the naval appropriation bill. The first read
ing of the bill was dispensed with. It was
agreed to go on with the bill by paragraphs
for amendment under the five minutes rule
until the provision for a new navy was
reached when two hours on each shall be al
lowed for debate thereon. There was long
controversy over proposition by Mr..
Keifer to strike out the item of $500, 600 for
the completion of the New York, wooden
vessel begun in 1865. After running de-
bate of two hours the motion to strike out
was rejected, % to 80.
The first section of the bill covering the
naval appropriation proper was read through,
when the committee rose and at 8 O'Clock
the House took recess until 10 O'Clock to-
morrow.

lore the fremen arrived there was great ex-
element in the neighborhood and the cry
of fire" was shouted down the street. Mr.
Balls of the firm of J. Fl. Ellington and Mr..
Biddle of the firm of Biddle & Weisse pro-
cured half a dozen hand grenades With
these they reached the stairs of 1876 and went
to the floor above where the fire was making
rapid Roadway. They piled on the grenades,
but they had no effect on the fire and Mr..
B1ddle had narrow escape through second
story window. The flames are now believed
to be under control, though many of the
buildings are still on fire.
The fire was confined within the bounda-
ries described and the flames were extin-
gulshed late this afternoon. The total loss
on buildings and contents is estimated at
100000, insurance $3.50, 900.

the building, will aggregate 5000, 900; COW
cred by insurance The ladies of the "Dsv-
IFS Auction" troupe stopping in the hotel
adjoining the burning building were panic
stricken when the fire broke out about 8
o'clock and rushed for the street endesha-
billie, making picture more sensational than
anything presented on the stage. The hotel
was uninjured and the girls were soon pre-
vailed on to return to their rooms. After the
fire two men were found in an unoccupied
room in the Everitt House near the Union
depot. The bed and furniture were destroy
ed, a loss of 5000. The intruders, George
Lucas and Thomas Handrigan, were arrested
and charged with suspicion of arson. They
were released on their own recognizance to ap-
pear February 81. The accused men claim
they were getting extinguishers upstairs and
removing furniture.
An Elegant Block RI uined at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-At O'Clock tonight
fire broke out in the upper story of the fine
Grannis block on Dearborn street. The
building contains three banks, the National
bank of Illinois, E. L. Brewster & Co.. bank
ers, and the Continental National bank The
upper stories were occupied by some
forty law and other offices. Notwithstand-
ing the building considered fire-proof,
the upper stories are Quilted and the lower
ones flooded. An explosion of gas in the
vault of the Bank of Illinois wrecked por-
tions of the lower walls, but it is thought the
valuables and records are safe. Steamers
are still playing on the building at midnight.
The loss will reach from $125, 900 to $780,,
600. The block was purchased by Sheppard
Brooks, of Boston, for $175, 900 few months
since and it's rental amounted to $40, 900 an
nually.

CLEVELAND,S CABINET,
Men Whom the Prophets Have Def
niteIy Selected.

ALBANY, Feb. 19.-It is generally conced-
ed that Bayard, Manning and Garland will
receive Cabinet positions. Attorney General
O'Brien said to-day that while he was conf
dent that Mr.. Manning would be taken into
the Cabinet, he did not think he would &C
cept the Treasury portfolio as it would neces-
state severing his connection with the bank
of which he is president, which would entail
serious financial loss. He thought the Post
master Generalship was the most probable
position he would accept.
Matters were very quiet about the Presi-
dent-elect's mansion to-day. He refused all
callers and was busily engaged on his inaug-
ural address He finds that it will be almost
impossible to keep within the compass he
originally intended, as the range of subjects
to be touched on is 80 extensive.
The address, however, will not be long
for such paper and will give
a clear outline of the policy of the new adj
ministration. No more distinguished states
men have signified their intention of visiting
Mr.. Cleveland, and it is stated that none is
expected. The statement that Senator
Lamar was expected here is not corroborated,
and while he may come no notice of his in
tention has been received as yet. All calls
of courtesy are for the present necessarily
declined
