death from freezing, makes his case the
more pitlable, his services the more
noble. Al an early hour Tuesday
morning Fernisa was sent to flag q
TRAIN, his own train having been laid
out In dangerous cut near Otterville, Mo.
The fear that the fast mail. which was fol-
lowing the freight, would dash into it
and cause fearful wreck, in which many
hves might be lost. led Conductor Wheeler,
VINO was In charge of the freight, to send the
young brakeman .back. The engine had
broken down aud the damage had TO be re-
paired before the train could proceed. After
Fernisa went back on his mission the repairs
ON the engine were completed, and after
sounding .1 the proper signals The engineer pro-
ceeded ON his way. The wind was blowing
perfect gale and Fernisa did not hear the
signals. 1t Is presumed that the engineer
supposed he had returned to his train and
pulled out, but the brakeman was left behind
and remained faithfully at his post.
For three and a half hours the poor fellow
remained out on the track, miles from a
station, with the thermometer at II degrees
below zero, running back and forth in order
TO keep his blood in circulation and TO pre-
vent being frozen to death. Finally nature
suecumbed to tina inevitable, and he fell

the unfortunate man kept his senses about

out. lie raised the lantern, which he still
held in his hand; then he could hear the puff
ing OF the engine and soon all was
still save the bowling of the wind. He
thought the train had passed him, and he
gave up all hope, but in another moment
friends we're at his side. He was carried to
the train and placed on board. 1t was the
last mail, whose coming he had awaited so
long.
The mail train was going west, and Fer
niSa was taken to Sedalia. When picked
up both his feet were so badly frozen that
he could not walk, both ears were frozen
and badly swollen. and both hands were
frozen hard and stiff. In his right hand he
carried his lanterns. and these were frozen
in his hands. The trainmen rubbed the
frozen members vigorously with snow and
when the train reached Sedalia the sufferer
was taken TO the hospital, where he received
excellent medical ate ton. He was kept
at the hospital there one day and then sent
to this city and taken TO the home of his
sister on Poplar street Dr. Halbrowe is

pressed q fear that the patients left ear and
one or TWO fingers would have to be ampu-
tated and that probably enc Of his feet

A COSTLY BLAZE.
About 500, goo Licked Up in South San
Francisco.

About $50, 600 Licked Up in South San
Francisco.
4 fire broke out in the wool glue and
oil factory belonging to +. c. Anderson Oil
Fifth avenue and NJ street, South San Fran
cisco, about 30 o'clock last night and de.
stroyed about 100000 worth of property
before it spent itself. 1t caught in the WOOL
room on the second floor Of the factory, but
how is a most profound mystery to all con-
cerned. There was nothing in that apart
ment so far as known that could have taken
fire spontaneously, and otherwise there is
10 way TO account for 1t except careless
ness or incendiarism.
Tie building was valued at $4,000 and
the contents $4,000. ali Of which was q total
loss.
The fire spread to the stable of F. Mood
ing and destroyed that also; loss 500.
Then It licked up the tTipe factory of John
Laroche at a loss Of $500.
The clearinghouse of j. b. Carerra. around
the corner on Fifth avenue, was the next
victim, and the site only. covered with ashes,
remains to mark the spot The building
was valued at $4,000 and the contents $500.
The dwelling and saloon of the proprietor.
right near, was damaged slightly, and the
contents suffered about $500 in moving.
The boneh0use of John Bayler was wiped
out, though only a small loss, about $500.
The first great difficulty in fighting the
ugly blaze was the want of water. Only
two hydrants are located in that vicinity.
and ii was fully 10 minutes before any water
could be drawn out of them. They are fed,
it seems, from the private supply Of Vista
ton Valley, aud for some unknown reason
just at the time when it was most needed
there was none to be had. So the fire had
full sweep for period quite long enough to
make extinguishing it quite out of the Ques-
ton so far as that immediate locality was
concerned
The sky was cloudy when the blaze broke
out, and the extra combustibe nature of the
fuel caused a tremendous blaze and so
lighted the surroundings that IT looked from
a distance as though all South San Fran
cisco was burning.

Kelly Says That He Asks Only for a
Fair show.
There is likely to be a fight in the
Tweniy-eighth District over the selection
Of j. II. Lennon TO act as inspector at the
Republican primaries. He was at one
time foreman in Kelly's junkshop on Mis-
sion street, and with the Third-stTeet boss
was indicted for frauds in the Street De-
partment. This is the chief objection
which has been offered to him, and Com
1nitteemaT Ives OF the committee of % is
inclined to lay for him with a club. As he
was named by Vice President Robbins,
however, it is probable that he will be sup
planted with some man who is equally sub
serYient TO Kelly.
1t is also claimed Felix Dugan in the
Thirty-third District will be ousted and
some one put in his place who is not tied up
with Crimmins.
Martin Kelly is inclined to smile at the
whole sQuabble and says he asks for no
advantage at the polls.
I'VE are willing" said Kelly yesterday,
TO give every ore a fair show and take
our chances. The people on the other side
have been bowling for long time for clean
politics. and now when we offer it to them
they do not seem inclined to accept. This
is why doubt their sincerity and am in-
cflned 10 question their motives"

mold and delicacy enhanced the beauty of
the flowers they contained. Indeed, every
leaf and blossom seemed TO have been
chosen with special reference to their per-
fections.
This was especially the fact with the
clusters of lovely butterfly orchids at the
door of the tabernacle, shading gradually
away from fairest white TO the highest of
pink and violet with here and there a
blossom of more pronounced color to give
tone to their arrangement.
In the center of the platform, at the foot
OF the altar, rested a magnificent crystal
epefgne of long-stemmed st. Joseph lilies,
fanked by two great jardinieres of La
France roses and madenbair. Here and
there were baskets and cushions of fragrant
buds, floral representation Of the Sacred

smiling rosebuds and monster candelabra

The bar of Philadelphia is famous for the
erudtiOn Of its mem ers, but it is doub tful
if in all its history it has had more inter-
esting question to solve than one which
will soon be brought before William H.
Shields, Register Of Wills. The curious
fact has already been published in the local
papers that the late Miss Susan Gorgas of
Roxborough left $1,000 as fund, the inter-
est of which was to be devoted to the sup
port of her old horse, and fund of $1,000.

glass on the sides was blackened by smoke
and SCOT. so that the rays Of light had
struggle 10 get through.
This was so noticeable that once or twice
some careful housewife caused the glass TO
be wiped clean and then the light given out
was not so feeble. But this never lasted
long. for in few days the condition OF the
lamp would be as before.
About O'Clock yesterday morning citi-
zen residing directly opposite the lamp In
question, unable TO sleep, aroSs TO smoke a
cigar. He no sooner threw up the window
than he heard the sound Of rapid footsteps,
and caught glimpse OF mans figure re-
treating down the street. This looked sus-
picious, and the resident, DOMINIC his smOk-
ing jacket, proceeded TO Investigate.
AS he stepped outside the other man was
now here in sight, but his own n0strls were
greeted with the pungent odor OF boiling
coffee which hung in the air. lie looked
around and in an instant the deep mystery
was solved Resting over the gas jet OF the
street-lamp was neat continuance in the
shape OF a wire framework upon which
rested cup in which some coffee was boil
ing merrily. At the base OF the lamp on the
ground was adiminutlve frying pan contain
ing couple of eggs TO be fried and another
cup in which were other eatables 10 be
cooked. Amazed at such a novel plan by
which meal could be PREPARED at the city's
expense the resident left the utensils I'M
touched aud returned to bed.
Then il was that Notary McElroy, Plumber
Williamson, Printer Sawyer and others iv-
ing in the neighborhood knew why it was
that so often at an early hour in the morn-
ing the air was so heavily laden with the
odor of Irish stew, ham and eggs, etc.
The man who caused so much surmlsing
in the minds of the staid residents of Chat
tsnooga street was later found to be old
Robert Casey, a hermit who resides in the
vicinity and sleeps in q tumble-dOwn shanty.
When accused of the act Casey strenuously
denied it, but his teltale cooking outfit was
found In the shanty under some blankets.

the same method of cooking for long time
past as there are many street-lamps ia the
city where he could follow up his scheme

Judges Deadly, Gilbert and McKenna oc-
cupied the bench in the United States Cir

occupied the attention Of the court; one of
these was the action brought by Francisco
Leyba de Martin against James Phelan.

Quently finding that it was worth $4,000
commenced suit for redemption, alleging
that + htlan, who held mortgage on the

ises. The Circuit Court decided in Phelan's
favor and the appeal court took the case un-
der adyisement.

der Amusement, was that of Horatio r.
