the people of the country, which cOmbina-
lions are known as associations, trusts, pools
and like names, but are not Incorporated

Many Crippled Children in Danger
All Saved by Prompt Action.

There was fire the other evening in the
Hospital for Ruptured and Crippled Chill
dren, at Lexington avenue and Forty
second street, New York, which threat
ened to end III great loss of life The
calamity was averted by the courage and
GOODNESS of the doctors and nurses in charge
of the little cripples and the ready help given
by the police, tiremen, and many citi-
Zens attracted to the scene by the
fire The 1S5 children were all
carried out in safety, and found shelter in
hotel and in several private houses in the
neighbOrhOod, whose occupants threw open
their doors and were proud to have the
privilege of sheltering and caring for the
little unfortunateS.
The only casualty was the suffocation ofMary
Donnelly, the head cook of the hospital who,
when the fire broke out, was asleep in her room
on the top floor of the building and who, APP
parently forgotten in the excitement, was
suffocated by the dense smoke which filled
the stairway, which was her only means Of
escape.

HER LAST LULLABY.
A Mother Falls Dead While Lu1linS
Her Babies to Sleep.

MrsJulia Sophia Walker died at her home
in San Francisco the other night under pecul-
lar circumstances. She was a handsome,
vigorous woman. not yet thirty years old,
and the mother of two children, one baby
and the other about four years old. Save for
their company she alone at home in the
evening. She was busy with her household
cares, and the children climbed about her
until shortly after o'clock, when it came
their bedtime. She tucked them IN their
cribs by the fire, and kissing them goodnight
turned down the light that they might sleep
the better. Going into the parlor adjoining
she left the door ajar, and sitting at the piano
PLAYED for time in a soft strain lullaby.
Alter time the music ceased abruptly, and
the elder child was aroused by a sound
from the parlor like Il heavy fall Calling
its mamma repeatedly and receiving no re-
ply, the little one arose, went into the parlor,
and there, by the piano, on the floor. Just as
she had fallen from toe stool, lay the mother,
dead. Mr.. Walker reached home within
few minutes thereafter and was over
whelmed at the spectacle which greeted his
entrance. His wife lay dead and his children
were crying with fright. The Coroner was
informed, but, as death plainly resulted from
heart disease, no inquest was held.

FATAL SNOW SLIDES.
Loss of Life on the Canadian Pacific
Railroad.

A Winnipeg Manitoba) dispatch says that
the latest reports from the mountains indi-
cate that there has been great loss Of life on
the Canadian Pacific owing to snow slides.
Strong chinook winds have been prevailing
for week. and all along the line from
Donald to Glacier snow has been coming down
on the track in tremendous quantities. Near
Palliser station British Columbia, several
men were caught in q slide. Only one was
dug out alive. and he was so badly bruised
and injured that he is not expected to re-
cover The mild Gather has put an efectual
stop to all through Canadian Pacific trains,
and as the mountain streams are consider
ably swollen, it may be some time before
traffic is resumed.

bound to stand by the resnlt. And what
was the result? In favor of division by
nearly 5000 majority.
Ii Mr.. Johnson Was o good democrat
he would submit to this verdict. But he
does not. and hence forfeits his right to
be called democrat. In fact his course
in this matter is IN keeping with his past
political record. Up to very recent
date Mr.. johnson was an active republic
can. When the territorial republican
convention assembled at Pierre in 1884,
he was heading the republican delega-
tion from Brown county and assisted in
nominating Judge Clifford. tho present
republican delegate. and in the same
Year he was a prominent member OF the
territorial convention which met IN
Huron to select delegates to the national
republican convention at Chicago. If
he has since been converted to demo-
cracy his acts do not prove it.
The plain truth is, large majority of
the democrats OF this territory are now
and have always have been, in favor of
division. And the Democrat is getting
pretty tired OF having man with the
political record Of Mir. johnson assuming
to represent and refeetcAthe sentiments
Of the democracy OF Dakota.
