 Of Young Lady from Drowning Boy.
 The St. Louis (Mo.) Republic gives tho details of . thrilling rescue from death by two gallant rescuers which was witnessed in that city recently. There was throng of 500 merry ekaters on the Forest park skating, when suddenly the ice cracked and broke. The widest excitement pre- vailed. A girl sank in eight feet of water. After brave work she was saved from an icy grave. The Republic adds:
 Though guarded in his interview, Ar. Greenwood stated that MT. Booghet and he were each engaged in quiet conversation with friends at extreme ends of the lake. They suddenly noticed . great rush and intense excitement bordering upon panic and almost instantly Boogher started from one end and Greenwood from the other end of the lake and, observing that everybody was making for the shore and leaving the drowning girl to her own efforts, they hsstened to her rescue. When they ar rived at the spot where the ice had broken they concluded that it would not be safe to dive. ss they would run the risk of get ting under the ice, 50 they jumped into the water feet first and began their heroic struggle with hugo blocks of ice to reach the imperiled girl. As soon ss they took their way, it tipped and buried their forms beneath watery and icy surface. Aftel several attempts of this kind they finally reached their object, and were 1t not that | she lost consciousness and became numt | and helpless it is probable that there would have been three deaths.
 l As soon as Mr. Boogher reached the girl he placed her arm around his neck an6 | managed to swim with his right hand Both young men had on large gloves an6 skates, and Greenwood became numb witt cold few minutes after he jumped into | the water. Seeing MT. Boogher with thu feared for his own safety when he found the ice breaking before him. A rope wa, ! thrown MT. Boogher, and he and the young lady were drawn ashore, but young Green wood was not 50 fortunate. He could swim no longer, and by this time wal nearly frozsn, so he grsppled for strong piece of ice, only to be moro discouraged. As soon as he would grasp the edge of the Ice large cake would break off and he would go down and come up under it. Four times this occurred, and finally boy came to his rescue with stick. He caught hold of this and partially raised himself low and MT. Charles Gleason hurried to hif assistance and lifted him, completely ex hausted, from the water.
 The young lady and her rsseuers, Nr Boogher and Mir. Greenwood, were carried ! to bathhouse near by and rubbsd and worked on and bundled up in dry clothing Greenwood became blue in the face, and il is said thst each of the plucky boys drank l at least quart of stimulants. Of course | neither of the young gentlemen drank any ! thing strong, but MT. Greenwood said thai they were 30 nearly frozen that quart o1 ! whisky had no effect upon them whatever | young gentlemen were taken in MT. Jess L. Boogher's carriage to 4415 West Piu, boulevard and put to bed.
 The young lady was taken to the resi- 1 dence of Mir. E. 0. Sterling in Westmore land place, where she was kindly cared fo and afterwards removed to her home. l The young gentlemen were both out D doors yesterday; MT.
