THE PRIZE TRlPLETS.

rhey Have Laid Claim 60 Superiority Over
the bennington Three.
Mr.. q. Mayes writes to us from Hal
stead to call attention to the fact that
the Whitmarsh- bennington
triplets are not the only ones which have
lived to celebrate their majority. At
Edinburgh one morning in August,
1868, the wife of Mr.. q. Mayes, watch
maker and jeweler, surprised her hus-
band by presenting him with triplets
two sons and one daughter feat
for which she was rewarded by duly re-
ceiving the royal bounty. When the
youngsters came Of age in 1884, the
proud father commemorated, the event
by having photograph of the three
taken and sending copy to the queen,
in acknowledgment Of her former kind
ness. Her majesty replied to Mr..
Mayes' letter, expressing a hope that
the triplets were well and prospecting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayes-the latter of
whom was the mother of five children
in Is months--are still well and hearty,
and on the Sd of January they propose
celebrating their golden wedding. Mr..
Mayes tells as that the triplets all enjoy
good health. We are all three mar
ried--two boys and one girl--and two
of us-myself and sister-have children
of our own, my sister three and myself
one. We have attained on. thirtieth
year, and so outstrip the case near
bennington. Westminster Gazette.

FIVE PERISHED.
Terrible Results of o Strong Gale
in the Harbor ut Baltimore,
Maryland.
Eight Men in Small Boat Thrown
Into the Watcr--Only Three
Escaped.
Fire i'm o Milwaukee Hotel Causes
Panic - One Fatally
Burned.

BALTIMORE, Jan. l3.-The strong gale
on the coast has cost certainly five and
probably six lives, and gave the crew of
the police boat. Lannan, chance to
make one of the bravest rescues in the
annals Of Baltimore harbor.
While the whitecaps were running 80
high that the steamer could hardly re-
sist them, signal OF distress was heard
and the searchlight revealed three men
struggling in the freezing water. They
were. all who were left of party of
eight sailors who, accompanied by q
ferryman, left the foot of Broadway to
cross over to Locust Point. Their boat
was swamped before they had gone
500 yards, and five of the sailors,
and 1t is supposed the ferry
man sank before the Lannon could reach
them. The other three were taken to
thecity hospital, where the doctors after
several hours, succeeded in restoring
animation. The names of the five lost
men are: Neal Finlayson, William I'll.
Nelson, Robert j. Wilson, John Hughes,
Peter Safranski. One OF the sailors
names has not yet been learned. The
drowned men, except, the ferryman,
were from England, and the crew Of
Mareca, and had been ON shore leave
The rescued say the boat was small
one, and that the nine men loaded her
down until the gunwales were almost
even with the water.

MADISON. SOUTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1s 1894
WON BY A CHiLD'S PLEA.

A Sad Case That Touched the Judges
Heart In the Christmas Season.
When the dispossess case of Jacob
korn against David Sanlyin was called
In the Fifth judicial district court yes
terday morning, girl 10 years old,
with a torn shawl about her head and
shoulders, advanced tremblingly to the
rail and handed letter to Justice
ioldfogle.
She represented Samkin, the tenant
who owed Korn for the rent of three
rooms on the second floor Of the tene-
ment at 80 Attorney street. This is tht
letter:
Judge Goldfogold:
Please EXCUSE me bacause came my father
is sick and he Ia laying in bed my mother got
born little baby it Is 2 weeks and she does not
feel well. Andshe can't come to the tril.e We
have nothing to eat and nothing to burn and
50 we can't pay no rend. My father has no
work for or months. We are for children,
| am 10 years on the II; my sister is years
On the and my brother is years and my lit
tie sister is weeks. We 4 children we beg you
and please take care of us and not mock us out
In the street my father tries for us very much
and he can't help us bacause II is bad time now
5acause he can't pay the rend and can't give us
10 eat he Is sick.
The girl wept copiously while JUS
tice Goldfogle struggled with this COM
,nunication, but when he questioned
her she answered with keen intelli-
gence. She was sure she had written
the letter herself and explained that her
parents formerly lived in Cherry street,
and that she knew the location Of the
court because she used to pass it daily
on her way to school.
Justice Goldfogle turned to Agent
Boltz, who represented Landlord Korn,
| and suggested that as the case was a
very distressing one Mr.. Korn could
lind no better opportunity for the exer-
else of leniency.
You may see from this letter" the
| justice said, "how pitiable the plight of
this family is. The gir, says they have
neither food nor fuel, that her mother
and father are i'll and helpless end have
no means of sustenance 1t is the

The agent held mp both hands in pro-
test against the supposition that Mr..
Korn might do anything of the kind.
- am only the agent, he said, land
am doing no more than my duty.
They have not paid the rent. can
not help il.
The justice looked at the child who
had come through the storm to plead
for few days mure under the rooi
where there was neither food nor fire.
''Go home. " he said. "and tell yon1
mother she may have until Wednesday
night to pay the rent.
The girl was gone in an instant.
| If il is the last thing 10 ON earth, "
Justice Goldfogle continued. IN see to
1t that this family has Christmas
dinner.
The agent was keenly affected by the
girls story and offered no opposition tc

Hose Turned ON Two Pugilists Mt Livings-
ton, Mon.
HELENA. Mon, Jan. 1.-two plug
uglies were advertised to fight 20 rounds
at Livingston for purse and side bet
Before the contest it leaked out that it
was to be a rank fake, and arrangements
were made to give it fitting reception.
As soon as the principals entered the
ring section of the city hose was
coupled on to hydrant near by. By the
time the third round was called
the full force of the water was turned
into the ring. The first shot struck Kid
Hansen in the small of the back, result
ing in a knock ont blow. Both princi-
pals rushed from the ring and the water
was turned on the spectators, thoroughly
drenching them. The men who had
superintended the affair then rushed
into the hall, and while everyone was
shouting and laughing over the matter
someone turned the water on again, and
many who had taken part in the first
affair were thoroughly saturated.

SAVED BY THE BABY.
The Crying OF q Child Aroused the Father
and Saved the Family From Cremation.

The Crying OF q Child Aroused the Father
and Saved the Family From Cremation.
A 22-month-old baby saved the lives of
six people early yesterday morning and
aroused the neighbors and saved the
property of her father from destruction
by fire. William Holdsworth and his
son have wheelwright and wagon
works at Fifteenth street and Fairmount
avenue. The second story of the factory
is occupied by William Holdsworth, Jr..
and his family, and in the third story
George Gaskin, his brother-in-law. and
Edna Klund have rooms.
At o'clock in the morning Mr.. Holds
worth, Jr., was awakened by the cries OF
his child, and smelling smoke he aroused
his wife. The child was swinging in g
hammock in the kitchen, and when Mr..
Holdsworth went into the room he found
flames eating up the woodwork.
The smoke was SO thick that the fe-
ther found his child with difficulty. BY
this time Mrs. Holdsworth had rushed
into the room, and wrapping the bed
clothing around the baby and an older
child tried to effect an escape. In her
haste she almost ran into the fire. Mr..
Holdsworth saw his wife's peril and
grabbed her before she was burned.
He groped his way down stairs, fol-
lowed by Mrs. Holdsworth and the chill
dren, and knocked on the door leading
from the shop to his fathers house, 1929
Fairmount avenue The occupants of
the third floor had been awakened in the
meantime, and all were safe in Holds
worth, Sr.'s, house.
An officer of the thdistrict saw the
blaze and turned in an alarm. In q
half hour the fire was under control
Mr.. Holdsworth said last night that
when he heard the child crying and went
into the kitchen the flames were close 10
the hammock where the infant had been
asleep. He was sound asleep himself,
and if the baby had not cried he is sure
that all in the house would have been
burned to death.-Philadelphia Press

Fear That Anarchists May Try to Blow
Up . Paris Prison.
PARIS, Jan. l3.>-The number of
guards around the prison of La
Roquette, where Valiant, the com
demned anarchist, is confined, has been
doubled In consequence of threatening
letters which have been received by the
authorities, and which lead them to be-
lieve that anarchists may attempt to
cause an explosion in or about the prison
mentioned
At meeting of the anarchists, con-
nected with what is known as the Free
man group, letters were sent containing
threats to the jurors who took part in
the Valiant trial. 1t is added
that jurors referred to have decided to
petition President Carnot to grant Vail
liant pardon. 1t is also said that this
petition will be presented to President
Carnot.
AT Meeting of 1000 anarchists in q
night refuge at Marseilles, protest was
made against the sentence imposed upon
Valiant and resolutions of an inflam-
matory nature were adopted.
