TWO TENEMEN rs BURNED.

Tie FiTemen Have a Long Run in the
Southern Section.
A few minutes before o'clock yesterday
morning the tiremen, who we're just about
getting to sleep after their hard work at the
Cohen fire, were called out by an alarm
from Box 63 at Burroughs and Wallbure
streets. The fire burned one-story frame
double tenement structure at Burroughs and
Fifth streets.
The tenement was owned by A. Y.
Hunter, who occupied one h 1use. the other
being vacant Hunter saved a portion of
bis household goods. The loss is about
Sl,2o0 and is covered by insurance with IF.
Prendegast. One house across the street
from the fire was slightly damaged.
Inc run was long one for the horses
through the heavy sand, and when the de-
partment reached the scene the fire had
gained such Roadway in the tenements that
II was impossible to save them. Assistant
Chief Mouro and his men, however. did
good work in saving adjoining property.

Hall Street Might Have Been Opened
After All.
Alderman Bailey thinks his brother
members of council acted a little hastily
and unwisely at the last meeting in voting
down his resolution for a conference with
the captains OF the military companies to
endeavor to get their permission to OPEN
Hall street through the parade ground.
The conference, Alderman Bailey says,
would most certainly not have done any
harm, and he believes it would have re-
suited In the permission being granted
This opinion he bases on what he has been
told, that some Of the captains have said
they saw no harm in the opening of Hall
street.
Alderman Bailey believes all tho captains
might have been won over after being
| shown in conference the great conven-
fence the opening of the street would be to
the public. He says In view Of the manner
| in which his resolution was received by the
council he will not press the matter fur
Their, although the adverse action does not
in the slightest shake his opinion as to his
being right on the question.

Re SWALLOWS LIVE FROGS.
John Stowe of Con Says They
Are as Nutritious as Oysters.
From the Philadelphia Netgs

John Stowe of Connec. lieut. Says They
Are as Nutritious as Oysters.
From the Philadelphia Netgs.
A man with one of the most curions pro-
pensities lives in Shelton.
He has acquired an appetite for five bull
frogs, and swallows them with the same
ease he would swallow the most dainty
morsel that ever was cooked.
The mans name is Johu Stowe, and he is
employed by Austin Harris.
Stowe has been a re,ident of this place
only few years, but it was not until re-
Gently that his appetite for bull-frogs be-
came known.
One day within the week he laid wager
that he could swallow frog alive, and was
at once taken up.
On Wednesday Of last week the test was
made on a bet of 81, FIVE parties being
present.
The first one that was brought to him was
too large to work down his throat and he
selected one from a creek on the Harris farm
small enough to go down.
He placed the frog head first In his mouth,
showed the remainder in with his fingers,
and in an instant the amphibiouS animal
was out of sight and probably jumping
around his stomach.
The story Of the feat at once spread, and
within few days there were a number of
doubling ThOmasss who, not outstanding
the undouhted integrity of the witnesses, did
not believe that Stowe could swallow live
frog Of their selection.
Stowe was willing to try the thing again,
and winking, 50 Co speak, TO his friend, took
another bet aud appointed the day.
On Monday the second frog was swal-
lowed, ard the witnesses present were again
astounded- Stowe IS ready at any time to
swallow a frog on e bet. and, as the frogs
are numerous at present. he scoops in lots
Of dollars from workmen with whom he
comes in contact. He says he does not feel
any bad effects, as they are dead shortly
after landing in the stomach.
The food, he says, is excellent, and people
eat much worse thugs every day. They are
just as cd as live 0 sters or live clans, or
even live scallops.
To physicians Stowe is q puzzle. They
cannot understand how tho stomach viii
retain the foreign matter aud are skeptical.
They know that similar things have been
taken into the stomach, but usually it is
followed by violent pains, and cramps,
which continue uatil it is removed, but
stoves stomach apparently retains frogs
and digests them, too, which is still more
astonishing.
Stowe is married and is about 40 years
old. His health is very good.

Nairgo.
Yes, replied Miss Pepperton; 'tell me 20
