A DOG SAVES SIX LIVES.
He Alarms the Occupants Of a
Burning Building.

A big Newfoundland dog has saved six
lives in Allegheny City, Penn. The dog
belonged to F. D. King, and was asleep
in one of the kitchens in the rear Of
the Boyle business block. King was
awakened by the animals barking. Repeat
ed efforts to quiet the brnte failed, and
looking out Of the window, King discovered
that the Boyle building was in flames.
He gave the alarm, and Henry Arnfeld, the
janitor, heard it. Then the men started to
arouse the families on the third and fourth
floors. Thomas Graham and wife, Mrs.
Ritchey and daughter, and Janitor Arm
fields wife were gotten out of the already
smoking rooms in the nick Of time. They
were hustled into the bitter cold night
in their night clothes just as the fremeu
rushed up stairs with the hose. The dog had
ssved six lives and to-day was the hero Of

Herself.

Postmaster Mclean, Of Warsaw, Mimi,
got out of bed early in the morning to build
a fire in the kitchen, and while he was gone
his wife bolted the bedroom door, and tax
ing a revolver from bureau drawer shot
three of her children. Two of them died

TWENTY-FIVE feet, Whlch is leIC uncovered
by the sea; the lighthouse tower is
therefore the realm in which the keepers
must live and move and have their being.
The structure is divided into five stories,
with a sixth compartment directly under
the lantern, constituting the keepers
rooms, store rooms, etc., and the entire
cost of this light was $500, 900.
Such structures are likely to be super
sededby towers of iron instead ofmasonry,
as being lighter and especially adapted to
sites, where altitude and lightness of
weig ght are both indispensable. The two
representative ones of this order are those
n the Fowey Rocks and American Shoals,
Florida, and which rest on iron piles
driven into foundation of coral rock.
The first of these fine structures built at
Fowey Rocks, at the northern extremity
of Florida Reefs, was begun in the spring
of 1867, and completed on June Is,
1878, the whole sum expended being
but S175, 900.
Lighthouses are divided into various
orders, from first to sixth, according to
the strength of lens apparatus. They are
placed on capes, rocks and headlands, and
vary from eighteen to twenty-seven nau-
tical miles in the carrying power of their
lights. Second and third order lights
are employed to mark islands, reefs,
sandbars, ETC., while the lights of an in
ferior order are used at the entrances to
harbors and channels. The river lights
are very simple in their arrangements,
consisting of pole with an arm at its
top to support q lantern, or sometimes an
iron spindle inserted into the rock in the

whether that court will coincide with

o,shea Divorce Case opensd.

q.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-The trial of the
O'Shes divorce case opened this morn
ing. A large audience was present.
Parnell, correspondent as not present.
Mr.. Coulard briefly opened the ca SO for
the petitioner. He said that as he IN
derstood the case respondent denied she
has committed adultry, as did also the
correspondent. The respondent, he
said, additional to her denial, further
alleged that petitioner had connived at
her adultery, had wilfully separated
himself from her, and was guilty of I'M
reasonable delay in bringing action
against her.
Mr.. Lockwood, for respondent, stated
that he did not intend to examine any of
the witnesses called for the petitioner
He would not call any witness on behalf
of Mrs. O'Shea, nor take any part of
proceedings of council, for Captain
O'Shea said that Lockwood's announce
ment had seriously altered the position,
now that neither Parnel nor Mrs. O'Shsa
would take any part in the case.
Justice Butt here remarked "that the
situation is quite new to me,'' aud
asked, 'Does any one appear for Par
uell?''
81 have inquired, responded
Clarke, "but find that no one ap-
pears for him. It is therefore an unde-
Tended case.' Continuing, he said that
in the interests OF his client and in view
of the remarkable pleadings it would be
necessary to prove petitioners case by
sufficient evidence. The petition for d.
vorce, he said, was filed in December
last Mr.. Parnell had then put in a
simple denial OF the charge of adultery.
Mrs. Dishes did not content herself with
DENIAL, but mads counter charges against
her husband, alleging that he had COM
mitted adultery with a number of differ
Ont persons, including her own sister.

A CITY HALL.
The Recommendation of Mayor Smith Ex-
presses the VIII and Wish Of the
People of Fort Worth.

Editor Gazette:
l note with pleasure that Mayor Smith
recommends the building of city hall
to cost SIPS, 900 and the issue of bonds to
pay therefor. Mayor Smith stands iu
this city as the embodiment of the pro-
gressiveness of Fort Worth. He was
sought out and made mayor for that
very reason. He represents the whole
people of Fort Worth IN the councils of
this city. He is fully trusted by all, and
his reco mmendation ia conclusive that
the city not only needs a city hall but Is
abundantly able to pay for it. Fort
Worth wants no obstructionists in the
council and will tolerate none. This city
must progress on we'll defined llnes with
out extravaganza, but also with
out niggardlluess. The tax payers
have elected Col. Smith mayor because
they knew he would not recommend the
squanderiug Of their money, and that he
would not recommend anything that wes
not for the best interests of this city.
The statement of any mau controverting
Mayor Smiths position will not stand.
The people do not propose to have any
man or set of men stand in the way Of
progress or to bring about the unseemly
condition OF affairs which existed when
portion of the council we're fighting the
mayor recently in office. Mayor Smith
has said We need a city hall he has said
we have the funds IN sight TO pay for a
city hall, aud the city council should
now build city hall. Who says differ
emily? FORT WORTH.

is found necessary to add percentage Of

Coke made in this way can be aud Is
used for all purposes for which other
coke Is suited; and in Germany it is used

COMPARISON OF GERMAN AND TEXAS
LIGNIrEs.
After careful comparison Of the
qualities Of the liSinites of Texas and
Germany, as shown by numbers OF
analysis that we have Of each, il is
clearly evident that those of Texas are
of considerably better grade than those
of Germany. The German contain u
much larger percentage of water than
the Texan, aud in consequence the
amount of fixed carbon in correspond
ingly lower IN the former. Indeed, in
the greater number of Texas lIginItes
that have come under our notice the
amount of water Is within the amount to
which the German must be reduced by
evaporation before they ars ready for
manufacture. This in itself il great
for the drying of the Ignite
is one of the most particular and risky
operations Of the entire manufacture.
Whether the Texas lignites can be COM
pressed without the aid of cementing
material IS as yet uncertain, but there is
no doubt whatever as 20 their availability
as fuel in the form of briquettes. This
has been proved by actual experiment.

feat VIII Mako Him Governor OF Ohio.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-Congressman
Bootbman of Ohio, who is great ad-
mirer of Mckinley, said tonight to your
correspondent that the defeat of Nc
Kinley was fortunate in one thing,
and that was in this: 1t would make
him the next governor of Ohio, and then,
continued MIR. Boothman, the author
presidential nomination in 1892. Mt.

I was won by the Democrats on the tariff
issue. He doesn't belieye the result
against the Mckinley bill permanent,
but thinks that il will be to intensity the
issue two years hence. He expressed his
opinion that the contest for speakership
would narrow down to Mills and Crisp,

Mrs. Steele. She also charged him with
cruelty, and with having connived at her
adultery for q period extending over u
series OF years. The plea almost
amounted to q confession of adultery.
The husband was cruelty annoyed by
defendant charges. but he (Clarke)
would be able 10 absolutely disprove
every suggestion against him. He could
show that the charge of connivance was
groundless; that when O'Shea first heard
of the intimacy between his wits and
Psrnell he challenged Pernell to fight
duel on the continent; that continuous
acts of adultery had been committed by
respondent and correspondent would be
proved beyond a doubt. Witnesses would
prove that while respondent was visiting
in Bedford square she was visited by
Parnell, who went under the name of
Smith. At another house he visited her
us Mr.. Stuart. On one occasion he had
to escape by the balcony TO avoid detec-
ton by O'Shea. Respondent and Mr..
Parnell had actually lived together ut
East Bourne and Brockley. Parnell, he
said, could not face the evidence. He
allowed judgment to go by default be-
cause he dared not go into the witness
box. The criminal law had terrors for
some people Wn0m the moral law could
not bind He did not wonder at Par
nell g refusal to answer the charge of
faithlessness and falsehood and betrayal
of friendship of man who was trusting
him. Capt. O'Shea stood for pariin-
nent in 1880. He was then introduced
to Parnell, who dined with him
and his wife. Mrs. Steele being
one of the party. Nothing excited
O'Shea's suspicion until 1881. when
Parnsli visited respondent at Ethan.
His annoyance over Parnell S approaches
to his wife led O'Shea to send a chal-
lenge to Parusil. Mrs. Steele saw Par
nell, who assured her that there was no
ground for jealous suspicious. O'Shea
wrote to Parnell, and the latter replied
that he had answered through the assur-
ance he had given Mrs. Steele. After
wards affectlonate relations between
O'Shes and his wife were continued, and
Parnen was again invited to Ethan. In
1882, after PaTnell had been released
from jail, he renewed his visits to-
Ethan, and almost habitually slept
there. Psrnsll used to drive from par
Lament to Ethan, and Mrs. O'Shea
would come down stairs to m eet him
when he arrived. Some times she slept
away from home when Parnell was not
there. Capt. O'Shea wrote to his wife
demonstrating against these visits, and
declaring his intention Of vaca;ing his
