lively contest. The fire spread through the
loft into the l., but was confined to the south
side OF the structure and did not get above
the third floor. The second floor got ablaze,
but In short time the flremCn had the
flames under control.

In n suit just brought In supreme Court,
Mrs. Mary Talbot charges Col. 8. Van Rens-

her to sign was renewal OF lease, when In
fact It was a release or quitclaim. Her story
Is very circumstantial.

to her, which she supposed was the new

The Prediction Was Verified.

Many a true word, the saying goes, is
often spoken in JEST but no more striking
example is at hand than that furnished by
a recent news item from Connecticut. At
an excursion of New Britain people few
days ago jolly German, Christopher Dahl,
joked with Mr.. Curtin. to whom he had
been introduced that day.
Are you Mr.. Curtin the grocer or Mr..
Curtin the undertaken" asked Dahl jocu-
larly. "You know there are two Curtins
in New Britain"
Yes, know there are," replied Curtin;
''but Pm Curtin the undertaken"
Every well" replied Dahl seriously, and
shaking hands with Mr.. Curtin, he added:
Then you will be my undertaken very
soon"
His prediction was verified within three
hours. Dahl was instantly killed and hor-
ribly mutilated by the excursion train in
returning to New Britain. Curtin was his

Every available foot on the Hudson river
front between Twentieth and Sixtieth
streets was covered with gezers, and so
were all the housetops and the points on
the Jersey shore, when at S:15 p. m. the
flagship Chicago gave the signal and turned
on her two lights of 3,700 candle power
each, and each set in the focus of the most
powerful reflector known. All the other
vessels set their lights in order, and then
the ''search light sweep" began, guided by
the Chcago's signals. Thirteen broad
bands or streams of pure white light
spouted into the clouds from the anchored
fleet-a sight so awfully grand that not
cheer arose from the 100000 or more people
who witnessed it, but a convulsive wavy
motion and general a-h-h showed the ex-
citement.
Then the streams of light began to turn
this way and that. One fell on small
boat two miles away and every motion OF
its occupants could be seen as plainly as at
noon. Another struck group a mile and
quarter away and they could read fine
print in the pure cold light. Far up the
river every outline of the rocks was shown
and the sails Of yachts in the distant bay
were made luminous. The spray and
steam Of ferryboats showed rainbows and
the expression on faces a mile distant was
discernible through the ships glasses 1t
was certain demonstration that no hos
tile vessel could get within shooting dis
tance unseen even in the darkest night.
