Saturday night Mrs. E. NJ. Bush had very
narrow escape from being burned to death, and
that she is now living is due to the prompt action
and presence of mind of her husband. They
have recently moved into a new house on North
Elm street, and had just got fairly settled in the
handsome little residence. Saturday night they
went up town and did not return home until the
evening was we'll advanced. The front parlor
was lighted by hanging lamp. suspended over a
center-table. Mrs. Bush drew it down for the
purpose of extinguishing it. when the chain
broke, which with the additional strain given in
pulling it down for extinguishment, caused it to
be dashed into fragments as it struck the table,
scattering the burning oil in all directions. In
an instant her clothing was in flames, and in her
extreme fright she rushed for the door in an at
tempt to escape into the open air. Her husband
was in an adjacent room, and her screams brought
him to her rescue instantly. With great pres
ence of mind he seized and threw her upon the
floor. tearing portiere from its fastenings. with
which he enveloped her person. and extinguish-
ed the flames. But in that short space of time
she was terribly burned. and lin another minute
would have been beyond human aid. The right
side of her face and neck. and both arms were
badly burned, but most fortunately. the flames
reached no vital part. She was taken to the
residence of Walter Fletcher, few doors away.
and medical assistance summoned. After her
wounds were dressed she was carried to the home
of her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. I. NJ. Kelley. South
Meridian street. Her many friends will be pleas
ed to learn that she is doing nicely, and though
| it may be month or six weeks before her entire
recovery. her condition is not such as to occasion
alarm.
Her screams aroused the entire neighborhood.
and in the excitement an alarm of fire was sound
ed. but before the department could reach the
place. Mr.. Bush. with the assistance of neigh
Dor. threw the ignited table and its contents into
the yard. and extinguished the fire which had
communicated to the carpet. The property loss
was trihing in amount.

Last Friday Mr.. Timothy Taylor, who lives
near Pepin Lake. took a load of wool to the
Gledhill factory, on Cleveland Avenue There
were about 20 teams in line and while the one
in front of him was being unloaded, he stood on
the ground beside his wagon. Suddenly the
team in front of him commenced backing. and
before he could realize his danger he was
iammed into the wheel against which he was
leaning, squeezing him tearfully. For few
minutes it was feared that his injuries would
prove fatal, but he is now considered out of all
danger, although very badly hurt.

most wholesome one.

bow in the theatrical arena last night at

about ten. and about twenty people were on
the stage. Seated on a raised platform in

will do better. They did not create a pro-

Judge Flcfscher Decides a Case Where He
Passes on the Question of Price.


Passes on the Question Of Price.
Judge Flelscher yesterday decided that
G. s. Kennedy owed Il. H. Beckwith $61.5O
as a balance due on certain Photographic,
and a crayon Of some mining property
which the former owned. The %photogra-
piers bill was for $126.5O, Of which $72
was for nine negatives at $S apiece, and an
India ink picture at $40, the remainder be-
ing for frame and copies. Kennedy paid
S25 at one time and $40 at another, and
claimed that the former sum was in full for
the Photographic views, and that the other
was all that he agreed to pay for the crayon.
The only disagreement was as to the price
of the negatives. Kennedy said the 1875 was
accepted in full. Beckwith denied it. The
Judge decided that the bill was a just one,
and that Kennedy should pay the balance
due.
