bell on the roof of the building. When the
ladder is being unWound the bell rings auto
matically and the inmates of the building
are aroused This device found favor for
use ON buildings of moderate height, but
would be of little value on the Immense
structures now finding favor with the enter
prSing citizens of Chicago.
The objection urged against all external
means of escape is that it is sometimes i'm
possible for inmates of burning building
to reach the part of the structure where the
fre-escape is situated.
The problem of e-escapes of various
kinds IS of course, most important in great
cities. Some years ago the city of London
was divided into five districts. and each dis
trict was provided with an escape and life
saving corps. who rushed to fires as we now
see the fre-engine rushing through the
streets. The corps was maintained by vol
untary subscription, and for time proved
very successful.
The permanent fire-escapes mostly con-
sist of iron ladders attached to the build
ing,
The inefficiency of these devices has been
frequently demonstrated. In the fatal fire
by which the Minneapolis Tribune Build
ing was destroyed and several valuable lives
lost, the iron ladder hrc-escape was within
ten feet of the place where tho men were
burned to crisp. Iron ladders. especially
in winter, are extremely dangerous.
Chief Swenie of the Chicago Fire Depart
ment, the most perfect and perhaps the best
equipped in the world, said: II cannot say
that | could point to a perfect fire-escape.
All methods that have been invented, if
they save life are good. This department
adopts anything and everything that is
likely TO be OF any practical value in saving
life at fires.
The lifeline gun is an addition to the
other appliances, aud is certainly useful in
many cases where no other means of escape
can be found In high buildings it is es-
pecally valuable, as by that means line
can be carried to many otherwise inacces-
sible points on burning building. AS |
said, l believe anything good that will save
a life, If 1t is only shoe-string. "-Chicago

STALLS BENEFIT.
Gymnastic Exhibition and Ball
at Verein Hall.

The turn section of the Verein Entracht
gave a gymnastic exhibition and ball at
Neren Hall, $40 Post street, last evening
for the benefit Of their teacher, II. G. +.
StahL
There was liberal response on the part
OF patrons and pupils alike, and the ticket
taker was kept busy half an hour before the
entertainment commenced. The platform
at the rear of the hall was decorated with
two large national banners, covering the
entire width. and the up per end of the au-
ditorium was set apart for the gymnastic
exercises. The galleries were crowded.
Music was furnished by G. HOge's orchestra.
The first number on the programme was
an overture by the orchestra, after which
seventy-two boys from to u years Of age
gave exhibitions of long-pole exercises.
The singing section of the Verein Eintracht
followed with q song and then Henry Neu-
man, champion of the Pacihc Coast, dis
played his mastery OF the art OF club
swinging.
The girls class. prettily attired in blue
gymnasium suits. then took possession oil the
floor, and demonstrated the work of their
teacher to great advantage in marching,
callSthenlcs and groupings. The boys, at
tired in white shirts and blue knickerbock-
ers with red facings, followed with club
swinging, dump-bell exercises and group
ings. The junior class gave a fencing ex-
hibition, and the programme concluded
with exercises on the parallel bars, weight
lifting and pyramids. In the latter George
Dahmke was leader, and the otner partici-
pants were c. ElenbergeI, G. Hauser, P.
Knaek. w. Jentzsch, NJ. Lehman, G. Berbet
l.. Winters. F. Schreegass, T. Schmidt and
W. Hoistmeyer. In the exercises on the
parallel bars the performers were George
Dahmke, c. Krause, p. Knack, w. Jentzsch,
g. Beret and ID. Friederichs.
The hall was then cleared for dancing,
which was kept up with spirit till midnight.

The Csmelias Easily Defeat the Lur-
lines in Tug-of- War.
The Camelia and Lurlne clubs gave a
very successful ''tug- of-war" party at Bersa-
glieri Hall last evening. The Juggling con-
test occurred few minutes after 10 o'clock
and was quite exciting while it lasted,
which was not very long.
S. CapurTo was captain of the Camelia
team. composed Of: G. Thomas. }. Sand
thron, G. Mitchell, A. Griffith. j. Heffern,
F. Clark. Z. Ratio, c. Mitchell and j.
Spohn. the aggregate weight OF whom was
1875 pounds.
l.. Pellegrini was captain of the Lurline
team, composed Of n. Gallagher. T. Pelle-
GRIM. d. Barkley, }. Mannix, III. Wolfe,
j: Gleason. NJ. Mallenay, G. Brown and
W. Sullivan. the aggregate weight Of whom
was 1899 pounds, just six pounds less than
the Camelias
William Grotheer and J. Cavagnaro were
the judges for the Lurilnes and Camelias,
respectively, with o. Nj. Ratio as referee.
When tho teams had fixed themselves sat-
isfaetorily on both sides OF the 1-iDch rope,
with the white mark for the center line, the
word was given, and in an instant the rope
appeared to have become solid bar. For
few moments the white marker remained
In its original position, while the veins in
the tnggers' heads began to swell under the
strain. The Lurline's anchor man COM
menced TO stretch himself little, and the
mark slowly advanced to the Lurlines' side
The Camelias were. however, not I'M
neryed by this and steadled themselves !;
then. with supreme effort they tried to dig
their heels into the cheated board and COM
meuced to pull with vim. The white marker
commenced to 20 back to the Canelia's side
On trot, and only the confined quarters
prevented the Lurlines from being pulled
off the earth.
The spectators cheered the winners to the
echo and the dancing was again resumed.
The trophy was silver water pitcher.
The contest lasted two and half min
utes.
The winners are to tug against the Eola

BAILEY'S BRIBER.
Another Case for the Grand Jury
to Investigate.

State Senator Bailey's frankness during
the progress of the Rea libel suit in San
Jose is likely TO lead into further Legisla-
tive inquiry by the Grand Jury.
The legislator, when examined by Attorney
George A. Knight admitted that he had re-
ceived on one occasion $500 for his vote for
United States Senator, and a second time
lie was paid another amount of $500. also
for his vote in the Senatorial contest.
As soon as these facts had been developed
Attorney Knight generously suggested that
d. NJ. Delmas, the opposing counsel, should
ask the witness by whom he was bribed
This Mr.. Delmas considerably declined
doing and there the developments ceased.
Inquiry yesterday in the city ELECTED the
statement by a gentleman whose name is
withheld that the first amount of 500 had
been paid Bailey at the time of the general
election for the defraying Of his election ex-
penSeS, and that the second amount had
been earned when Bailey changed his vote
from N. N. Estee to Charles y. FELTON,.
Attorney General w. Ii. Ii. Hart stated
yesterday that he thought the counsel in the
case should have developed the identity of
the briber. which course he would have
considered it his duty to take if engaged on
either side. During the last Legislature he
had always considered Bailey an honest
man, but added that in view Of the latter's
statements on the witness-stand lie should
as Attorney General bring the matter 10 the
attention of the Grand Jury forthwith,

the Face Of the Earth-Tug-of-War
Becoming Epidemic.

Judging from the size of the crowd that
witnessed the contest at GermanIa Gardens
yesterday. tie tug-of-war craze is suffering
from marasmas. There were but 700 or 300
people around the cleated platform when
the teams composed of "Irish-Americaps"
and Italians arranged themselves along the
big rope, fully an hour after the time au-
nounced for the opening OF the contest.
The italian team WAS composed of E.

the italians we're several who had partici-
patei in the tournament at the Pavilion.
They wore red shirts and were apparently
better trained than their opponents. A
majority of the members Of the Irish team
were not Irish.
Early in the afternoon a young man with
a violently red cravat mounted a platform
and asked for bets. He said be wanted his
auditors to win Thanksgiving turkeys, and
in order that they should do so he beseeched
them to wager on the result. His remarks

until the end, yet added nothing to his as

As the shadows of the trees began to
lengthen and the bar-keeper began to pine
for solitude, the teams took their places.
The band played "Garibaldfs Hymn" and
THE Wearing of the Green" The rope
became rigid. 1t moved toward Ireland,
and the faces of the Italians around the
platform were overcast; then it wobbled
little and set cut for Rome. 1t stayed there.
and at the end of five minutes was declared

The Irishmen took their defeat with Sc
renity and retired to their dressng-room.
Half an hour later the teams took their
places Oh the platform again, for the prize
Of $3.50 was to be given to the team that won
two out OF three pulls. The pull lasted %
minutes and was won by the Irish team,
whereupon certain ill-bred spectators began
TO talk about the sin of taking. and asked
each other what the penalty should be for

in the tournament at the Pavilion sought
out the manager and offered TO pull the ten
best men OF the two teams with six men
three from the German and three from the
Danish team that tugged in the Pavilion for
$50. The offer was not accepted.
The shades Of night were falling fast
when the teams took the platform for the
third and final tug. IL was of very short
duration. In minutes and seconds the
Irish team was defeated. its anchor was
pulled out OF place and all was over. The
defeated men said they had been paid S12 80
apiece for their services and did not appear
downcasf. and the children of sunny Italy
made merry with the wine, women and song
which were at their command.

and hurled it into the water. She. too,
would have jumped in after it, but was
frightened away by the startled cries
of two young men who happened
to be bathing beneath the bridge. The
baby's wrappings must have saved its
lie, for when one of these young men,
Harry Conovan. rescued it from the
water it was still living. 1t was hastily
restored and placed for shelter in the
home of Mrs. John Hooking. The nearly
PROSTATE mother was hunted out and identi-
fed. Breaking completely down, she con-
fessed her crime and begged for her baby
again. This was refused, and she was put,
weeping bitterly, into Jail. A trial ensued.
but the jury WAS touched by her misfortune
and she was acquitted. Mary then went TO

to her babe, the little one was placed in her
arms, and she has cared Tor ii ever since.

rested pityingly on the mother and babe
yesterday as he stood beside the font, and
very tenderly, indeed, did ne perform the
rite of christening the little one so dramati-
cally saved. In the midst OF the interest
ing ceremony the baby turned and looked
at the minister solemny pronouncing the
service. giving it the name Ellen Hooking.

A CHINESE BOODLER.
Arrest of Wong Yuen San Francisco
III In.

Requisition.
A telegram was yesterday morning re-
ceived from the Chief of Police at San Fran
cisco asking Chief Sheppard of this city
to have a look out Tor Wong Yuen, 80
years of age; small. slight built; feet 2
inches; left per Oregon express train for
the North. Think he'll try to get to your
place. Should have $40, 900 with him." says
the Victoria Colonist OF November 18th.
The Chief handed the message to Sergeant
LAWN, who watched the boats, ami on board
the Victoria found his man. When Wong
1uen was approached he seemed to be OH
the alert and at once offered the officer a
bride. Producing Satcnel he rendered the
Sergeant 5000 to allow him to and and
meet his friends in Chinatown. But the
Sergeant was not to be tempted even by this
munificent bride and made the Celestial a
prisoner.
When brought to the lookup the contents
of the satchel were examined and found to
amount $3.50 was in gold. The whole
amount is said to have been embezzled by
Wong, and his guilt is half admitted by his
action in trying to bride the officer. A
spark vas at once sent to San Francisco
announcing tie arrest, and back flashed the
message to detain him. An officer is ex-
pected tomorrow to take the prisoner bac k
with his DO die. The Chinanan claims con-

Line Gun and Its Uses.

Who will construct the perfect frees
cape? That is a question of great interest
to that great contingent of American people
whose lives are spent in large cities. where
lofty buildings and monster factories
abound. The red glare in the sky and the
rattle of the engines in the street seem to
become more familiar daily in spite of the
construction and reconstruction of fire-proof
buildings and the general use of what is re-
garded as fire. proof material.
The d-piercing structures that are
now being erected in all the great cities. but
especially In Chicago, invest the subject of
fre-escapes with new and abiding inter-
est. Common as fires are and common as
fatal fires have been during the last ten
years, there has been little advance made in
the last half-century in the method of es-
Gaping the dangers that beset the unfortu-
nate inmates of a burning building.
Ii society is indebted to the progressive
spirit of the age for what are called mod
ern conveniences," it certainly is not yet a
debtor for any methods which guarant ee in
demnity against fatal calamities by fire.
History furnishes an interesting chapter
of uncomfortable fires IN cities. This is
caused in a measure by the fact that i'm
provements in the methods of extinguish-
ing fires and the means of escaping from the
