LITTLE CRIPPLEs HUT HEROES. Many Lives saved by the Presence of
 Mind of Two Children.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The hospital for the ruptured and crippled at Lexington avenue and Forty-second street and the 163 crippled children under treatment were probably saved from destruction this evening by the presence of mind and heroism of two of the little inmates. Louisa Felig, aged twelve years, and Mary Greedy, ten, started for bed about 6:45 o'clock and on reaching the sec ond floor were enveloped in cloud of smoke. They quietly proceeded to the third floor and told Nurse Ellen Dougherty the building was on fire. She sent word to Matron Webber, who notified Dr. Gibney and sent out an alarm. The doctor, nurses, police and fire men got the children out of the building and the guests of the Vanderbilt Hotel gave up their rooms to the little ones. The fire was put out at a loss of $2,500.- Mary Donnelly, 8 cook forty five years old, was suffocated in her room on the fifth floor while asleep. During the fire Michael Mo- Carthy, the elevator boy, was overcome He was discovered by Miss Jennie Stranger, waitress, who dragged, him out into the air where he revived. Miss Stranger also saved the life of James O'Brien, ,one of the engineers of the hospital. He was asleep in his room and was already unconscious when she arous- ed him. Ten year old Max Schwartz, who is suffering from hip disease, tried to carry out Johnny Burke, deaf and dumb cripple, but the burden was beyond his strength. Then he dragged Johnny out to the hallway where policeman found them and carried both down stairs. There were many other in- stances of heroic and unsel6sh behavior on the part of the little cripples.

A CHURCH DEBT TO BE PAID.
Progress of the Movement at she How-
 ard Avenue M. E. Church.

Progress of the Movement at the How-
 ard Avenue M. E. Church.
 The Rev. Nathan Hubbell, pastor oSthe Howard avenue Methodist Episcopal church Oyster PoinD, has secured nearly $1, 300 in subscriptions toward lifting the mortgage re- mainiug the property. He is hopeful of securing the remainder before April. when by the law of his church he will be assigned to another field of labor, three years having expired, the pastoral limitation. From April, 1874, to April, 1877, he was pastor of the same church.
 The entire debt amounts to $2,770. Bonds are taken by subscribers for $35. payable in semi annual instsllments in five years, which wipe out the debt and accruing interest. As $3. 50 is merely a nominal sum to pay within period of six months, doubtless his per sonal friends and those of the church in other organizations will secure bond and thus free the property from all incumbrance. Debt paying among the Methodists of New Haven is the order of the day, Trinity First church, St. John street, George street, Haven Memorial, East Pearl street and other socie- ties of the denomination notably being en- gagged in the movement.
 Among the subscribers for the bonds Pas~ tor Hubbell has tte signatures of the follow ing persons: James W. Hopper, Charles W. Hulse, James B. Munson, Nathan Hubbell, Henry A. Barnes, Edgar H. Pedrick, Samuel s. Sands, Edwin A. Lampson, James N. Jackson, Edwin E. Gale, John E. Cary, Richard ". Law, jr., Jotham Orr, Wash- ington NJ. Rowland, Arthur E. Lincoln, George H. Smith, Joseph Thomas, Sidney F. Smith, Riley T. Smith, Joshua Chappell, Cecilia H. Hubbell, Catherine E. Gerard, Sarah L. Smith, Laura Hopper, Carrie H. Johnson, Mary I. Davis. Mary 0. Eaton, Esther L. Stevens, Alice Huntley and Mabel E. Cane.
 The Ladies' Aid society has taken four bonds, the Sunday school board two and the following classes of the Sunday school one each: Nos. 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, II, IA, 16, IT, IS and 19. A conditional pledge has also been made by business man, provided the whole nulnber of bonds, one hundred, are taken. Persons willing to take bond will receive call from the pastor by sending 8 postal card to Rev. N. Hubbell, 75 Fourth street. New Haven.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 29.-As James F. Rule, city editor of the Knoxville Journal, was entering St. Johns Episcopal church &C., companied by his wife this morning he was accosted by John and William West and a man named Goodwin. He walked to the op- posite side of the street with them where all four stood talking about communication which appeared in the morning Journal re- fecting upon Dr. F. A. West, city physician, and father of John and William. Rule refused to give the name of the writer of the article or any particulars concerning it. John West then struck Rule and attempted to bear him to the ground. Rule drew re- volver and shot West through the body. William West immediately fired on Rule, the ball passing through Rules wrist. John cut Rule in the back seven times. William West placed his revolver at Rules forehead and fired, but Rule knocked the pistol up, receiving only @ scalp wound. Rule then fired two more shots, one taking effect in the shoulder of Goodwin. A number of men rushed from the church and stopped the bloody fight.
