A Narrow Escape.
ALMOST ANOTHER DROWNING
CAsE-A BOY SAVED BY TWO
OF AID Com IONS.
THEIR HEROIC CONDUCT

A thrilling scene occurred on the Scott
NJ. e sudAy School excursion yester-
day which, had 1t not been for the heroic
cond uct of two boys, would have re.
sulted In another case of drowning.
A boy named William Galigna, 18
years OF age, residing at Sixth and Pine
streets, this city, dived into the water
from one Of the piers, and striking his
head, sank 20 rise no more. As soon
rs he disappeared, the cry was raised
that boy was drowned. The great.
est excite ment prevail ed, and while
some ran to and fro In search Of help
George Smith A., the son of crier Smith,
of the Court House, plunged in, but
found that he could not lit the boy,
who was lying on the bottom.
hold him with his feet to keep him from
being carried out with the tide. With
one foot on each side Of the body, young
Smith manfuliy held on to him, and
called for assistance. Asher Logan,
Ianother boy, who was further up the
lbeach, hurried down TO see what was
1.-The matter, and as soon as he learned
THAT q hoy Was drowning FASTENED u
assist Smith In rescuing him. By theil
united efforts they succeeded in getting
the body to the beach, and DR.. Unger
', who fortunately happened to be on the
excursion, was hastily summoned.
immediately after he WAS brought II
/, the shore, and before the doctor arrived
, at the scene, some men started to rol
the b ody ON q barrel, but as soon as tn
ply sician arrived he stopped that mod
iof procedure, and directed q couple O
men to take hold OF the boys arms an
Iwork them like pump handles. II
then had him lifted by the feet, wit
. his head down. and the water pOure
out of his mouth and nose In streams
For some time IL seemed that 1t woul
be impossible to restore him, but th
u ply sician preserved and finally the bo
commenced to show signs of returnin
consciousness, and in o little time b
Recovery was assured.
Too much praise cannot be awarde
? George Smith and Asher Logal
:, neither of whom are over IL years
oaRe, for had it not been for thei
= heroism and presence of mind. Galign
y would undoubtedly have been drowned
10 DIR. Unger is also entitled TO gre
praise for his untiring and perseveriT
efforts to restore the boy, for even aft
Smith and Logan had rescued hi
u from the water, he was still In gre
D. danger, and would have died had
y, nor been for the physician. When II
excursion returned last evening he W
removed TO his home, and this mornil
was doing as well as could be expecte
\. ~ but was quite weak and debili tatei.

GLADSTONE RESTOkED
|TO MOB. POPULARITY

LONDON, June 16,-There was q
spnsmodic renewal OF police excitement
ibis Afternoon, caused by the re-assem-
bling Of the House of Commons. The
scenes Of lsst Friday were again ro-
peatsd, the Westminster District again
being thronged with people, waiting'te
catch glimpses Of the prominent mem-
Premier, whom the "wild mob's mil.'
lion feet" kicked out Of Office just q
week aso on question of nine pence q
barrel on beer, is still, and more than
ever, the idol of the mob.
Troubles multiply on the hands OF
the Conservative Cabinet makers. Lord
Salisbury Is cropping his way along In D.
halting, hesitating manner. and ts ap.
parently pleased with any pretext for
pOstponing action. Now 1t 10 the COM
ing Of the Queen which Is awaited.
Her Maj esty is expected at Windsor
Castle next Wednesday, when she Will
Stafford NoIthcote, and the names OF
the new Ministry will probably be an
nounoed at the re.assembling Of the
House next Friday.
THE CONSERVATIVE DISsENsIONs.=
The internal dissensions OF the party
are still the cause of the half hearted,
vacillating conduct of the Conservative.
leaders. Even as late as this afte ternOon
many prominent Conservatives were
begging Lord Salisbury to Decline
Office.
