HOTEL sCORCHED.
Second Avenue Hotel Pretty Badly
Damaged.

A fire broke out in the Second
Avenue hotel, corner of Fifth street
and Second avenue south, at II
o'clock last night, and the panic
stricken guests were compelled to
flee for their lives. Some of the
escapes from the building were mir
aculous. M. c. Kennick, wife and
baby were rescued by a fireman
from Truck No. 1, who threw a
ladder against the rear wall, and
carried Mrs. Kennick and the baby
from the third-story window to the
ground. There were about twenty
live people in the building, most of
whom were women. All of them got
out safely, though compelled to leave
in very scanty attire. The fire orig
mated in the basement, and burned
hole up through the three floors.
The building is owned by State SEN
ator Youmans, of Wisconsin, who
bought it last fall for $500. 1t was
impossible to estimate the damage
last night to the building and it's
contents, but it will probably ex-
coed $4,000. Conroy & Crottys Jew
elry store, Falcomer's laundry and
a restaurant adjoining were consid-
erably damaged by water.

A PROPHECY.
How Man May Make u Terrible
CONFUSION of Nature.

How Man May Make u Terrible
CONFUSION of Nature.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
A number of commercial travellers
were swapping points on theology, sci
ence and philosophy in the Hotel Han
over the other evening, when one of
their number, who had quietly but
closely listened to all the theories adj
vanced, gave utterance to this start
ling belief: 1.-The changes on the sur
face of the earth are due to changed
conditions. Remove the forests and
the soil is washed down the hills to the
river and on to the ocean. Dig the
coal from the bowels of the earth and
villages sink. Now l have been think
ing that calamity will overtake peo-
pie some of these days which they have
not contemplated.
Take any big city like New York, on
Manhattan island. By nature the pres
sure upon the crust of the earth was
slight. But man rends asunder the
mighty rocks of granite in New Eng
land and piles them in heaps twenty
stories high in New York. He takes
ore and coal from the earth at other
places and makes tons of iron which
are heaped in heavy masses in tower
ing structures all over Manhattan ISL
and. Now what will be the effect of
relieving the pressure on certain parts
of the earth and adding enormously to
it at other places? Some day there
will be great upheaval and a CORE
spending depression, and the mighty
cities of the twentieth century will
sink into oblivion
Thanks, don't care II I do" added
the colonel, when he was asked if he
would take something to quiet his
nerves.

BUILT A DAM
And Saved the Fleet From Falling
Into the Enemy's Camp.

And Saved the Fleet From Falling
Into the Enemy's Camp.
New Orleans Times-Democrat
At the time CT Gen. Banks raid into
the Red river valley Commodore Por-
ter, who commanded the gunboat fleet,
was sent up into Red river to co-ope-
rate with Gen. Banks. Porter's fleet
was composed of a number of heavy
gunboats, several tin-clad boats and
transports. On this occasion they as
cended the Red river as far as Logsy
Bayou. AT this point they heard of
the defeat of Banks at Mansfield, and,
as the river was falling at the time,
IN their descent they lost several
transports and one or two gunboats.
upon their arrival at the falls Of Alex
andria it was found that there was not
sufficient water for the heavy gun
boats to pass over, and Gen. Banks,
IN order to fix upon some plan to save
the Porter fleet from falling into the
hands of the Confederates, called his
engineers and officers of the various
vessels together to devise some meana
Tor the boats to cross over the falls.
None of the scientific engineers of
the United States army on board
could, at the time, devise plan, when
an officer of a Wisconsin regiment
named Col. Bailey, who had for many
years been engaged as a raftsman
upon the Wisconsin rivers, suggested
plan similar to the manner in which
logs were fioated out of the Wisconsin
streams. This plan was to build a
dam across the lower falls, and in this
manner increase the water upon the
upper falls. The suggestion was
adopted. Five thousand men were de-
tailed for the work day and night.
Inc building of the dam was by means
OF cribs sixteen feet wide and deem.
and in order to sink them railroad
IRON was procured and sand bags and
Drlcks used. The iron was obtained
Wy tearing up the railroad track from
alexandra to Bayou Boeuf: also. nv
tearing down the Flint sugar house at
.hat point. The river at the time was
nall mile wide at said point.
Inc work was successful. and the
Dam upon the lower falls raised the
water on the upper falls to a sufficient
neight to enable Commodore Porter's
meet to pass down in safety.
COL Bailey was a volunteer at tho
time and during the war, and should
nave been rewarded for this wonderful
suggestion, but as far as is known he
was not. -ie

EMBARRASSING
Predfcament in Which the Church
GOer Found Himself.


Philadelphia Press.
Anybody seeing the major coming
down the middle aisle of Sunday
morning, with his erect form, his semi
military frock coat tightly buttoned,
his rubicund countenance actually
emitting rays of red light, would never
have imagined him to have passed the
meridian of life more than twenty
years ago, and people said, 'he is very
we'll preserved"
But the secret of the majors foun-
tain of youth was his hair. 1t was not
/ his own, but it was so black and
glossy, and so well curled, and looked
so virile that the major thought no
body ever imagined it was wig.
So, as he sat in his pew on this par
tieular Sunday morning, the sunlight
turning his shining locks yellow and
green and purple as it struck through
the colored windows, he was supreme
in the tranquility of his youthful APP
pearance and his deceptive hair. One
by one the elders filed down the aisle
and took up the little collection boxes
with their long handles. OF course
every one has seen these little arrange
ments and how they are lifted from
pew to pew over the heads of the oc-
cupants.
AS the pass was made in the case
of the major, the manipulation miscal-
culated his distance, and, catching it
in the majors hair, passed it on to the
next seat, with the majors wig hang
ing, to- it.
CONSERVATION seized the major, and
hiS canp froid cOmnletalv decartad
him, and a suppressed giggle only
made matters worse. So
Hastily arising, he made grab for
his Vanishing tresses, and with a spas
modic jerk he clapped it on his bald
pate, but wrong end foremost. This
was the last straw, and catching up
his hat he left, with more haste than
grace.
