FATAL FIRE IN LONDON.
Six Lives Lost Which Might Have
Been Saved by Fire Escapes.

Fire destroyed a four-story building on
Middle street, London, England, occupied
by Rowley & Brock, manufacturers of hats,
caps and helmets, and government contrac-
tors for military headgear. Six persons lost
their lives by being burned to death and
thirteen were severely injured
The fire started in the workshop on the up
per floor at o'clock. At the time there were
thirty persons in the building. Within two
minutes from the time the fire was discovered
the building was wrapped in flames, which
spread so rapidly that the employees found
every avenue Of escape except the windows
shut off. Through these number of them
Jumped to the street. Five of the women
employed by the firm we're killed in trying
to effect an escape in this manner.
Several of the persons confined in the
upper rooms of the burning building tied
sheeting together, and in number of cases
successfully descended to the street. In some
instances, however, the material gave way.
and the unfortunates fell to the pavement
and we're more or less seriously injured
These fatalities have drawn public atten-
ton to the lack of fire escapes on London
buildings Ali the lives sacrificed at this fire
could have been saved if the building had
been provided with external means of exit.
Fire escapes are practically unknown in
London,

Sketch OF His Career

Samuel Freeman Miller was born in Rich
mond, Ky, April 5, 1916. In spite of his
judicial mind, which must have shown itself
at an early age, the future light of American
Jurisprudence, when he had become young
man, determined to study medicine and he
Was graduated as NJ. D. at the Pennsylvania
University, Kentucky. He acquired good
reputation as a doctor, but he afterward said
that there was too much guesswork in the
practice for him. In short time he re-
inIuished medicine for the law, where his
great powers of ratiocinatlon had full play,
and in solving whose difficulties his intellect
ce:olced like giant refreshed for the battle.
Kentucky was a slave State, but Mr.. Mil
Ter steadfastly and courageously advocated
emancipation to the detriment of his world
II prospects. So unpopular did he become
that in 1850 he deemed it best to remove
to Iowa, then State four years old,
and rapidly growing : under the IN
auence of free institutions. He became one

a leader in the State. He refused all nom1-
nations for/public Office, however preferring

andt his professional ability. and in 1869 he ap-
pointed him to the Bench of the United States
Suplrenle Court. This was just the
blade for him, and he gladly accepted it, to
bis ,bwn glory and the lasting benefit of the
coulhtry. Thereafter for twenty-eight
minister justice according to law
and equity He was lawyer
whclse mind was never warped by the techni-
calities of his profession, although he was
master of them all. He used them to good
endI and never let them turn him aside from
Justice to bad ends
Itlisa curious fact that going on to the
Bench Republican, the most famous decis-
ions he has shared in Of late years have
a6orted Democratic constructions Of the Con-
gtitut;cn. notably the decisions in the civil
rights cases, which practically annulled the
dfteq tn amendment. He was not central
izatiN ist, but believed in maintaining the
righN of the States unmutilated and intact.
His reputation was that Of the best all round
laDvaT, on the Bench. He could have retired
on a pension of full pay several years ago,
but lie preferred to work, and he died liter
ally in the harness.
