there Saturday night. 1t seems that
Higgins and another colored man were
fighting, when Dickson ordered them to
desist, but Higgins paid no attention TO
him: Dickson then drew his pistol and
fired, with fatal results. The killing is
considered nnisstiiable, as Higgins was
reputed to be peaceable man.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The strike of
workmen in the Williamsburg sugar refin-
cries has doomed prices, and the consumers
of sugar are paying the fiddler for the dance
of the strikers. Granulated sugar was
quoted at 6l4c on Saturday last; yeSter-
day it reached 7jIc. II is said that prices
are sure to advance still higher. The stock
of refined sugar on hand amounts TO prac-
tically nothing. Business has been slack
and dealers have been buying sugar in
quantities just sufficient to supply the de-
mand. Now that the Country demand has
increased, the strike has caused prices to
advance out of proportion to the natural
course of trade. Raw sugar was quoted at
5 11-16c on April IA, and yesterday it
was 55sc. This shows a slight advance
in the cost of raw material. which is not
accounted for by the present strike, but
which will account for something of the
advance in the price of refined sugar The
strike, however. has tended to very much
strength in the advance.

omaH, NO. 336 LOrimer street, BROOKLYN.
last night. After the Rev. John It. Wilds
OF the Seventh Presbyterian church of this
city had concluded the marriage ceremony.
one OF the gentlemen present stepped mn
TO the bride and kissed her. He was Fire
man John Rooney of Engine Company No.
81, thls city, and his salutation recalled a
tnrllllng episode i'll the young lady's life.
When, on Feb. 1, 1882, the disastrous fire
IN the old World building broke out. Miss
small was engaged in an Office on the
fourth floor on tie Beekman street side
Inc flames spread with such rapidity that
tney mad almost reached the room in which
the young lady was working before she was
aware OF the fire. Escape by the stairway
was cut OFF, and the only hope of saving
her NE lay IN an exit by the window.
AIter closing the safe door, in doing which
her eyebrows were singed, she crawIed out
OF the window and stood upon the narrow
cap of the window below, the flames licking
the sash and easement. With onIy
slender telephone wire to aid her.
tne young girl stepped from one
window cap to the other, while the crowds
IN the street below looked on with awe.
FOR time the tiremen were unable to aid
her, as she was above the reach of the lad
ders. Finally they raised ladder to their
shoulders and held it while John Rooney
who was then connected with Hook and
Ladder company No. 10, went to her rescue
and took her safely to the sidewalk. while
the spectators shouted themselves hoarse.
This is why Mr.. Rooney kissed her last
night. After the festivities the happy
couple started for Washington, and on their
return will take up their residence in this
city, o
