With a cry of horror the more fortunate of the companions rushed out of the building, and a moment later returned with axes and hooks and began the work of rescue. Men from the hook and ladder com panies present quickly followed them, and, despite the stihng smoke and heat, went bravely to work to rescue the unfortunates. Fireman Thomas Leddy was the first extri- cated. His face and hands were badly scorched, but notwithstanding he returned to the work of helping to rescue the others. Cavanagh was the next to be taken out. He had almost succeeded in crawling out of the ruins when his strength gave way and he fell back again into the burning mass Roan, Alter, McGrade, COnnors and Aiken were next brought out The last named had been in the burning ruins for some time, and were all more severely burned than either Cava- nagh or Leddy.

SPRINGNIELD, Dec 27.-The New Ravens
are feeling gay tonight to think they defeat
ed the SpringfeIds here tonight 8 to 1: It
is the first game they have won this season
out of town.
The feature of the game was the rushing of
Newcomb and Hill, who tantalized the
Springfelds in great style.
The home team did their best playing in
the FIRST half, but in the latter went all to
pieces and let their opponents walk right
away from them. This was Hills first game
as captains and his CHEEKY voice was heard
throughout in coaching his players. New
comb and he should be given great credit for
the victory.
It took ten minutes of good playing before
the first goal was made, Hill making it on q
hit from the side. Just before the half was
up Phelan distinguished himself by blocking
Roberts, and rushing up the rink made ter
rife drive from center which Riley could not
stop. This left the score 2 too.
Then the visitors sailed in. Newcomb
made New Ravens third goal by back
handed drive on Hills pretty pass. Canavan
accidentally Gagged the ball for New
Haven. Newcomb passed the ball to
Hill in one minute and twenty mine
seconds and the latter Gagged it. Roberts
took this rush, but Hill blocked him, passed
to Newcomb, who passed it back to Hill, and
the ball lay in Sprin6eldIs cage in so Sec

Newcomb was loudly applauded for sending
the ball past Riley in 81 seconds McPeck
saved Springfield shut out. Hill made the

Annual Sc sLectiOn'' at sold Hiram.o
AS usual Hiram lodge members turned out
in large numbers last night to elect officers
for the ensuing year, and had lively time.
Each officer was elected in the round as fol-
lows: Isaac F. Graham, W. master; Albert
S. Preuss, s. warden; David F. Wiser. j.
warden; George E. Frisbie, treasurer; W. A.
Beers, secretary; Henry Ct. Lewis, marshal;
for trustees, James D. Dewell, julius Twiss
and F. NJ. Wiser; standing committee, the
first five officers elected. Ex-Mayor Henry
G. Lewis, on being again elected, made few
very humorous remarks. He did not see
that cold Hiram" had any use for sheriff
or marshal. Although his duties had not
been very arduous in the past he did not
know what they might be in the coming
year. And he was at loss to know whether
to accept it or not, as he had flower garden
that would need his attention largely next
year and he would not like to be called away
from his favorite occupation. Still he was
willing to try the Office to accommodate sold
Hiram" once more.
Next Thursday evening the officers elect
will BIS publicly installed and a grand reeep-
ton be given. Admission will be by tickets,
