suddenly the back of the chair struck a
slender stand upon which one of the
lighted fancy lamps stood As the lamp
dropped to the floor Mrs Brady Jumped
up and commenced tearing the carpet off
the floor to use i IN smothering the flames
caused by the lamp, which had not
exploded, but was in the midst of blaz-
ing oil. In tugging at the carpet Mrs.
Brady, who is a woman Of considerable
strength, pulled over a sewing machine,
which fell upon her left leg and fractured
both bones just above the ankle. While
pinned to the floor by the heavy machine
Mrs Brsdy realized the danger that
! threatened her from the flames.
With great effort and in spite of the
pain she suffered from the fractured limb
Mrs. Brady threH aside the sewing ma
chiue, seized the burning lamp and
hobbled 10 the outer door of the kitchen,

Brady in a heap on the kitchen floor.
They extinguished the flames about the
lamp and after a sharp, brief battle put

The assistance arrived none too soon, as
Mrs Brady was in fainting condition

FELL FROM A SECOND STORY.
Little Miss Qusrles's Miraculous Escape
Congregations Alarmed.

congregations Alarmed.
WILSON. N. c.. December 2L-tSpe-
cial)-Saturday evening last a very
strange thing happened. Mrs. Quarles's
little 4-year-od girl fell from the second
story Of the hotel building upon the plat
form Of covered well. Those who ran
TO pick her up expected to find life extinct
or her body frightfully mangled. They
were agreeably surprised, for she was
alive and seemingly not much hurt. A
physician examined her, and found that
no bones were broken. and only a few
bruises could be found. She Is now up,
ready to enjoy the coming OF Santa Claus
tonight.
Yesterday, just as the preachers in the
various pulpits were beginning their dis
courses, the fire-alarm was sounded. and
the congregations became unmanageable.
The services had to be suspended until
the excitement subsidized. The fire was in
Mr.. w. T. Saunderss kitchen, but 1t was
put out before any great damage was
done.
AT HOME.
The school-boys and girls who have
been off to other schools are at home
spending the holidays.
At Mr.. T. j. Hadley's Whitley farm a
few days ago Mr.. Moore, who was
working there, mad his hand and arm
badly cut by gin. He was working
around the gin. when his sleeve was
caught by the machinery and quickly
pulled into the way OF the saw. Before
the gin could be stopped his hand and
forearm were badly lacerated. The bones
OF his hand and wrist were broken TO
pieces and the flesh torn from the joints.
His suffering was very great, but he Is

SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR.

To ace the shameful behavior which has
S.en exhibited 10 the public on the part
of the students Of the Richmond College
for some daya past. The school stands as
one OF the first institutions OF farming
in the state, and such open defance
on the part OF the boys TO the action OF
the trustees OF the college In the appoint-
ment 81 President Boatwright - some
thing which should not be lightly dealt
with, but should be severely punished oy
the college officials. We have been unable
no far 10 ind out upon what the very
great objection 10 President Boatwright
ia based. II seems that no one will ven
