BRAVE BRITISH SOLDIERS.

Courageous Acts Performed at the
Burning Of the London Barracks.
The Wellington barracks Of the guards in
London were destroyed by fire yesterday. The
fire originated on a stair case in the quarters
of the married soldiers. The inmates were
rescued by means Of ladders. There wero in
the barracks q number Of children suffering
from measles. who were wrapped in blankets
and carried out and put to bed in another build
ing Two children we're missing and it was
feared that they persisted.
When it was found that two children were
missing soldier bravely re-entered the burn
ing pile TO search for them. Hearing screams
issuing from the rafters on the top floor he dis
jointed an iron bedstead and with piece Of
the iron broke away the ceiling until he found
the children, when he rescued them unhurt.
In trying to escape by trap door in the
roof they had lost themselves between the
rafters and the tiles. The onlookers cheered
the rescuers wildly. The children were slightly
injured and these are the only casualties re-
ported.
On the breaking out Of the fire the troops
responded promptly to the bugle call for fire
parade and they worked the hand apparatus
with will, the officers cheering them on.
The fire was attended by many exciting in
cidents. Several heroic rescues were made
and some painful scenes were witnessed. The
women and children in the building implored
wildly for help.
Capt. shaw Of the fire brigade and number
OF aristoeratc officers were present. One de-
clared that large building like the barracks
with only one exit was veritable death trap.
and that if the fire had occurred at night fully
one-half Of the sixteen families in the building
would have persisted.

STORMS vs.. TORNADOES.
The Wife of Lieut.. Finley Talks About
THAR Ralafixa Desfrnctiuonasa

Their Relative Destructiveness.
SALT LAKE, UTAH. Nov. 1a-Mrs. Finley, the
wife Of Lieu. John P. Finley, U. 8. A., the
noted expert on tornadoes, is visiting Salt Lake
City. In an interview in regard to statements
in Gen. Greely's report claiming that thunder
storms are more destructive Of life and prop
erty than tornadoes Mrs. Finley said:
II can give you some statistics from my hus-
bands Official report on tornadoes. Their
number 90 far AZ observed within the last
seventeen years was !, 1866. With the sole excep-
ton of the Rocky mountain region, no part of
the United States is exempt from their ravages.
No season Of the year is wholly proof against
destructive, as, for instance, the Grinnell tor
nado on June II, 1882, by which a large section
Of central Iowa was desolated and the town
itself nearly swept from the earth and 100
human souls dashed into eternity in less time
than it takes to relate 1t. In Mansfield, No.,
over 100 people were killed. and in 1885
tornado passed over Maryland, Della
ware and New Jersey, and over two mil
lions worth Of property we're lost In April
IA, 1885, st. Cloud and Sank Rapids, Mimi,
were visited by the monster, resulting in a loss
of over $500, 900 and nearly 100 lives. Among
the severest OF recent times is the terrible ex-
perience Of February 10, 1884, when the states
Of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky
we're scourged BY sixty tornadoes, all occurring
in one fatal day between the hours of 10 a. m.
and midnight. by which nearly "a, 600, 900 worth
Of property was destroyed, 800 people were
killed, 2, 500 wounded and fully Is, 900 persons
rendered destitute over 10000 buildings were
destroyed.

ENDING IN DIVORCE.
Clandestine Marriage That Startled
New York Last Winter.

New York Last Winter.
New York society was somewhat startled last
February when it read in the daily papers of
the marriage of Miss Lizzie Hastings, daughter
o. the late Chas. c. Hastings, to DIR. Fraser C.
Fuller. The doctor was a young and rather
well-known physician, but his worldly posses
sions did not rank with those of his wife, who
was worth round million. Miss Hastings
resided with her guardian, VIM. H. Phillips
The young physician met his future wife at
reception at the house of q wealthy lady of the
semi-literary set. who lives not far from 5th
avenue. The young lady, who is a rather pretty
brunette, tall and slender in figure, was de-
cidedly vivacious and interested the doctor.
During the winter they frequently met at social
affairs and before long they were engaged.
The marriage was performed by the Rev. Or.
Vincent Of the Union Theological Seminary at
his residence, where the young couple pre-
sented themselves on the night before Wash
ington's birthday, accompanied by friend of
the prospective groom.
THEIR MARRIED LIFE.
After the marriage they hired an expensive
suite OF apartments in the high-priced Dakota
fiat, and there in April held their rather tardy
marriage reception. The reception was de-
cidedly swell affair. and was attended by some
200 or 300 friends of the young married couple.
No one seems to know just how the first
meeting between Leicester Holme, Mayor
Grants private secretary, and Mrs. Fuller
came about, but it is said that he first
met Mrs. Fuller at reception at her home,
and that they were introduced by DIR. Fuller him.
self. The acquaintance thus formed speedily
ripened into an improper acquaintance. Dr.
Fuller found on: Mr.. Holmes alleged perfidy

arated some time in August and Mrs. Fuller
left the city and went to San Francisco, where
she is now.

from the superior court an order for the service

an action for absolute divorce

BERTHA GETS HER MONEY.

A Housemaid Follows Delinquent En-.
ployer to This Country From Germany.
In 1880 Carl Buntabuert was q householder
in Germany and employed Bertha Kaling as
housemaid She worked for him two years and
half, during which time he paid her nothing.
and Bertha figured that he owed her about
800. Then he departed for America, promis-
ing to send her the money.
Two years later Bertha learned he had set
tied in Port Huron, Mich, and she came to
America to collect that debt Still Buntabuert
put her of with promises, and all the while
he was making and saving money. Bertha
last week brought suit against him for her SIO0
and eight years interest.
The case was tried yesterday, and it took the
jury but tive minutes to give verdict for the
full sum with interest, and as Bertha had gar
n1sheed Buntabuert's bank account, and tied up
$1,000. she will get her money. The case
created considerable local interest owing to the
fact that Buntabuert is a successful builder and
Bertha came to this country for no other rea-
son than to collect her dues, and has supported
herself by Homework while waiting for him to
fulfill his promises.

republican and democratic Congressman who
won their seats through the Knights Of Labor

their pledges were obtained Twenty-three
Congressman were elected, he says, on purely
independent tickets.
"The movement" said Mr.. Trevellick,
"caught like wild fire in the west. For in

in the third Congressional district Of Nebraska.
He is a farmer without money. Dorsey, rich
banker, was his opponent on the republican

His Mysterious Correspondent and Their
Queer Meeting.
The most curious episode in Mr.. Disraeli's
life, says the London DAILY Ne,os. occurred in
the year of the great exhibition, when Mrs
Bridges Willyams, then living widowed at Tor
quay, wrote to him protesting admiration and
asking advice He did not answer and she wrote
again. Meeting a Devonshire man at Monckton
Mines he asked him if ne knew a mad
woman at Torquay named Willyams, and
was assured that Mrs. Willyams was not
mad. Still he did not reply and she wrote
asking him to meet her near the fountain
in the exhibition. He did not 90, and
she wrote again, naming another hour. His
friends advised him to keep the appointment
and he did so. He found an old lady who
might have sat for the figure OF fairy god
mother. She told him long story and gave
him an envelope containing a statement on
which she wanted an opinion. DisraeN put it
in his pocket and forgot it. Weeks afterward
he put on the same coat and there was the en-
velope, containing bank note for a thousand
pounds for his election expenses and the legal
case, which was not absurd. He got lawyers
opinion for her and sent it. That was the be-
ginning Of long correspondence. When she
died she left him her fortune, and was buried
at Hughenden.

poverty gave her 81 ,000 This she confidingly
gave to her artist husband.
Her idol was rudely shattered at the end Of a

THE PATENT SYSTEM.
Early History az the Present Bureau

Early History Of the Present Bureau
which Protects American lnventors.
The centennial Of the establishment Of the
present pstent system In this country, which Il
10 proposed 70 celebrate next April, dates from
the passage Of the first patent Law, which re-
ceived the Presidents signature April 10, 1850
1t was not, however, until July 81. 1870, that
the first patent was issued. The name Of the
inventor was Samuel Hopkins and his inven-
ton was method for making pot and pearl
ashea The date Of the application il not
known, a. the records Of tho patent Office were
destroyed In the fire Of 1887. Its probable
that the inventor had not very long to wait for
action upon his application, although in the
early years very rigid scrutiny was main
tanned. This was due to Mr.. Jefferson and his
great interest IN all exhibitions Of inventive
skill
JEFFERSON THE FArHER OF THE SYSTEM
He has been called the father Of the patent
system. BY the terms Of the first patent law
the examination of applications and the issue
Of patents was intrusted to the Secretary Of
State, who acted in connection with the Secre-
tary OF War and the Attorney General. Tradi-
lion has it that these three distinguished
othciais gave critical examination to each ap-
plication. The result was that during the first
year o majority Of the applications failed to
pass the ordeal and only three patents were
granted. Mr.. Jefferson, who was at that time
Secretary Of State, regarded the granting of a
patent as matter of no ordinary importance,
and he gave careful attention to the details.
THREE PATENTS ISSUED THE FIRST YEAR.
While there were only three patents issued in
1880, the next year thirty-three inventors re-
ceivedIetters patent Among the patents granted
during the first ten years were q number that
contained the germs of ideas which subse-
quently were developed into important inven-
tons. There was, for example, patent issued
to William Thompson for q machine for thrash
ing wheat; 70 John Fitch, propelIing boats by
cotton; to Benjamin Taylor, for q mode for
preventing the progress Of fires; to Eli Terry,
for telegraph, and to James McCalmont, for
an improvement in clocks, watches and time
keepers. The number Of patents increased each
year, and in 1886 723 patents were granted.
Now the annual issue Of patents has reached
the large number of about %, 900.

ton and the matter was smoothed over Presi-
dent Gage assuming the chair.
The trouble arose over what he regarded as
breach OF faith with the national commits
sion The ultra advocates of the claim Of the

by far the lions share Of the displays and that
without any consultation with the national
commission. The resolution in addition to
this was worded in way that was justly often
