During a small tenement fire on the

full of smoke.

a bundle, tightly clasped to her bos-

Quickly the people in the yard below
saw the woman. Great clouds of
smoke whirled about her head in suf-
locating volumes, and the crowd called
upon her to jump.
She hesitated, but extended the
bundle at arms length, from which at
that moment there came faint cry.
1t was baby's voice.
"Saye my child" implored the wo-
man.
Instantly blanket was procured
aud strong men held its corners.
"Drop it, they shouted.
With her face averted, the agonized
and imperiled mother let the baby
fall. Down the little one fluttered
like white-wingcd wounded bird.

Mitted by Justice Rartiett.
There were two very dangerous
looking specimens Of the tramp gender
arraigned before Justice Bartlett, Sat
urday afternoon, charged with break
ing 4 lock and attempting Is enter tie
shoe store Of MI. Boehm, on North
Queen street. Early On Friday even
ing, two men accompanied by small
boy, went into Nj. George w. Schill's
place. ate some oysters and drank
some beer. They insisted on having
some beer for the boy, and Mr.. Schill
positively declined to give it to him.
Afterward, one Of the men offered to
sell ring, and had some words with
some Of Mr.. Schill's customers about
it. The latter told them that they
would have to preserve order or
leave the place. Later il became
necessary for Mr.. Schill to deputize
two men TO arrest them, but they
begged off and were permitted to 60.
About midnight they were seen in the
neighborhood Of Mr.. Schill's place,
acting in a very suspicious manner.
Soon afterward, Messrs. VIM. Nickel
vey and Richard Palmer, who were
standing near the watch box at the b.
a Q. crossing, heard the men attempt
ing to force an entrance into the shoe
store. It was found that one Of the
men had broken the lock with coup
ling pin, and the other was in the act
Of forcing the door open. Mr.. Nickel
vey grappled, and had right lively
tussle with one Of the men, who at
tempted to hit him with the coupling
pin. He, however, obtained and re-
tanned control Of him until the officers,
Rhodes and Weddell, came TO his as
sistance. In the meantime the other
man ran away, but was captured after
ward in box car at Dry Run, BY
officer Rhodes. The names that they
give are Thomas Dwyer and Thomas
Ryan, and on the testimony given BY
VIM. McKelvey, Henry Buckalman
and Richard Palmer, Justice Bartlett
committed them for appearance before
the grand jury, in january.

distributedamong our home merchants.
Parents are enabled to keeptheir girls
at home instead Of having them 90

~ fFNNAt-t
VIENNA, November 80. The details
of a most horrible attempt at suicide
have been made public to-day. It is
without doubt a case that never had
its parallel in this city, and the most
remarkable feature about it is that the
would-be-smcide is, at last reports,
still alive. The doctors are particu-
larry interested in the case, as showing
how the brain may be terribly injured
and yet not cause death. The case in
point is that Of septuagenarian, who
was admitted to a hospital here to-day.
1t is said that the man was recently
attacked with religious mania, and
became impressed with the idea that
he was called upon to make d sacrifice.
He therefore procured seven nails,
each three inches long, and hammered
them into his skull. When he was
taken to the hospital the blood was
pouring from his head, and he pre-
sented most dreadful appearance.
Everything possible was done to re-
lieve the terrible agony from which he
suffered and to make his death easy.
The hospital doctors, Of course, do not
entertain the slightest hope Of his re-
covery.
