FATE OF A HEROINE.
Nay Porter Perishes in the Flames
After Saving Nineteen Pupils.

NUNDA, N. Y, Nov. ia heroine died
yesterday, when May Porter, a teacher,
persisted by fire in the Coopersville school
house. Miss Porter braved death in most
horrible form to save her pupils, and it was
in making a hopeless effort to rescue Will
lard Johnson, the last one in the building,
that she lost her life. There were twenty
children in the school. After the noon re-
cess the building was discovered in flames.
The house was a frame structure, lightly
built, and the fire spread with awful rapid-
ity. So sudden was the outbreak that the
teacher was for a moment paralyzed with
fear. She recovered her presence of mind
quickly, however, and began to fight her
way to the door, around which the flames
were already creeping. AS she reached it
she saw that escape by that direction was
impossible. The only way to save the chill
dren was to drop them out of the windows.
Two of the biggest boys, Malvin and
Charles Chambers, dropped out Of the win
dow, and to them Miss Porter passed the
children, one by one. All the time the flames
ragged about her, and the room was black
with smoke, which almost stified her. She
could easily have abandoned her pupils and
saved her own life by jumping out of the
window, but she herolcally remained inside
until all had been passed out except the
boy Johnson.
AS Miss Porter stepped back to pick him
up she was surrounded by fire, and flames
were leaping from the window, through
which she had already passed seventeen
children Malvin Chambers clambored upon
the window sill to help her, but was driven
back by the flames. He saw her with the
Johnson boy in her arms. He climbed up
again and saw her take a step forward. A
great whirl of fire swept around her, and
she stumbled. She made one more effort,
and as the flames drove the boy back from
the window he saw her fall. with the john
son boy in her arms, into the very heart of
the fire, and the children stood there and
saw the school house reduced to ashes.
When the news of the fire got started 1t
Travelled rapidly. and in a short time the
gathered at the spot, nearly mad with anxi-
ETY.. Willing hands tore away the ruins, and
i'm a few hours the bodies of Miss Porter
and the Johnson boy were found within a
yard OF where the window was. They were
burned beyond recognition, but the body OF
the brave woman held close in it's black
ened arms that of a little child.

TROLLEYS FOR CANAL BOATS.
First Application of Electricity to Pro-
pei Vessels of Commerce.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-An official test of
the efficiency of electricity in the propulsion
of canal boats upon the Erie canal will be
made at Pittsford on Friday. Governor
Flower will accompany the party from here.
After the test at Pottsford a special train
will carry the party to Niagara Falls, where
an inspection of the great hydraulic tun-
mel and wheel pits just completed at a cost
of $780, coo and the electrical subways will
be made.
This will be the first application OF cleo
trical power to the propulsion Of commercial
vessels, electricity having been used hereto
fore only upon pleasure boats. The method
Of application is by means of trolley wires
suspended upon either side of the center of
the waterways, there being both positive
and negative wires suspended from the span
wires. attached to a pole line. The current
is applied to the motor in the stern of the
boat by means of flexible wires attached TO
overhead travellers which move on the upper
side of the trolley. The flexible wire is
placed on an automatic reel upon the deck
of the boat, and by paying out therefrom
the lateral motion of the boat is provided
for. The motor is attached directly to the
propeller shaft. The equipment is furnished
by the Westinghouse company, and will be
subject to a preliminary test to-day.

OUT OF DEBT.
National Ball League in a Prosperous
COndition-DirectOrs Elected.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The board of d.
rectors OF the National Baseball League
met at the Fifth-avenue Hotel at n.30 this
forenoon and began the work of outlining
a programme for next year. A meeting of
the directors always precedes the regular
annual meeting of the League. The board
Of directors consists Of Messrs. Hart, Soden,
Won Der Abe, Won Der Horst, Talcott and
Brush. The matters with which they had
to do were chiefly routine-awarding the
championship and reporting in financial
matters We're the principal things. The
former was, of course, but a formality, as
everybody knows the Boston boys were
the pen-nant-winners. President Young had
in his satchel all notes Of the National
League, given when the League fought out
and assumed the obligations Of the Ameri-
can Association, two years ago. The notes
were Cancelled, showing that the League
had entirely paid off the debt accrued in
this transaction, and also showing that the
league had had a prosperous season.
The regular annual meeting or the League
began at $3.50 p. III. Considerable business
was disposed of, the first of which was the
report OF the board Of directors, which was
received and adopted. Much time was taken
up with additions TO the bylaws or the
championship rules. Penalties were at
tached to Sections "A and AZ. Mr.. Robinson
offered an amendment disciplining players
for drunkenness or disorderiy conduct, and
it was referred to the committee on rules.
Propositions for an amendment on coach
ing rules was referred to the same COM
mittee. All clubs are invited TO forward
suggestions to the committee, also SuggeS
tons as TO any of the playing rules. Pres
ident Young will appoint the committee.
The following directors were elected: N.
e. Young, chairman; A. II. Soden, A. u.
Talcott, C. II. Byrne, James A. Hart, w.
w. Kerr and John Il. Brush. This makes
three representatives on both the Western
and Eastern sections. President Young was
appointed a committee of one TO prepare a
schedule for 1894. a. II. Soden, G. II.
Byrne and n. i. Young were elected men,
bers OF the national board of arbitration.
The following, submitted by Mr.. Young,
was adopted in the form OF a resolution:
The question of the financial condition Of
the League and Association being called
for, the treasurer has announced, much TO
the qualification of all the clubs, that the
obligations assumed at the consolidation Of
the League and American Association at In
dianapolis, in 1891, amounting to $4,000,
have all been paid and determined, and
that he has in his possession all such obli-
cations. This enables the League TO start
the next year free from all debt"
The fight of the meeting, namely, the
settlement OF the tangle over the Phila-
delphia. clubs financial settlement with
other clubs, did not come up, but will to-
morrow. This trouble is concerning the
25-cent and 5G-cent rate. At Philadelphia
the team only gave visiting CLUBS their
share of q 25-cent admission and settled
outside on the 50-cent admission basis.

NATIONAL GRANGE.
Secretary of Agriculture Norton Criti-
cised by Worthy Master Bingham.

SYRACUSE, y. Y, Nov. 1.-THE twenty
seventh annual session OF the National
Grange. Patrons of Husbsndry, opened in
this city to-day. Three hundred delegates
from various States are present, and more
are expected tomorrow. Worthy Master
j. III. Bingham presides- In his annual ad-
dress he said that it had been demonstrated
that the order was not born to die. Dur
ing 1893 it had not only added largely to
its numerical strength, but in some States
there were large additions; in others small
losses. The gains were made where the
order was strong and the losses where IL
was weak. The master urged the farmers
should insist upon their rights and a fair
share OF profits. They should be well rep
resented in legislative bodies. He said the
present Secretary OF Agriculture was a dis
appointment 10 farmers. unsuited for the
position and not a true friend OF the farm
er. He also spoke for higher education,
which, he said, would LEAD 10 other good
things.

TOPICS OF REFORMERS.
The Average City Politician a Menace
to Good Government"

P~ITTSBURG, Nov. B.-When the Nation
al Reform Association assembled in the
First United Presbyterian Church, Allie
ghey, to-day, for its second session the
large edifice was completely filled with del
egates and their friends. The proceedings
consisted of the reading and discussion
of papers which covered politics, labor,
Chinese exclusion, divorce, Sunday desecra-
ton and the liquor traffic. These subjects
were discussed at great length, and at
times the debate was decidedly animated.
In his address On Moral Problems in
National Life DIR Calkins said: THE
average city politician is a standing men
ace to good government. Said some one,
1 don't know who it was, but / believe
it true, that OF our representa-
tives in Albany, Harrisburg, Springfield
and other State capitals, four-fifths can al
ways be counted upon TO vote on the wrong
side of every question. Moral facts lie at
the bottom of il all. 1t is the worst eie-
ments in our lower wards that elect our
rulers. It is no wonder we have so much
vicious legislation, because from men of
vicious minds what else can We expect?'
