wall suspended only by The finger
tips. And then he saw something
whica caused such a revulsion of feel
ing that lie was within an ace of re-
laXihg his hold and being dashed to
rags in the street below.
Gradually, however, his muscles stiff
fened again, and he drew himself up
and fell faint and trembling on tine
board floor of his bedroom. Screwed
to the jamb of the window was stout
eyebolt; fastened to this was Il long
coil OF rope. These things are the
ordinary accompaniment of American
hotel bedrooms anywhere above the
first floor, and Carr had seen them
scores Of times before. Nothing but
the excitement and the scare under
which he was laboring could have al
lowed him to forget them on leaving
his bed at the first alarm. Still feel
ing sick and dizzy, Carr gathered him
self up from the floor, and with tremb-
ling fingers set about casting he rope
from its coil. The stuff tangled, and
in his hasty clumsiness he tied it into
hard knots. Time was wasted.
At last, however, the long snaky
length of rope was flung out OF win
dow; and gripping it with his hands
and legs, the fugitive started his de
scent. He was no practised climber,
aud the rough hemp ate the skin from
his hands as it passed through them :;
but such an Inconvenience was only OF
slight moment. A far greater danger
encompassed him. During his delay
the fire had gained in strength aud
tiercenesS, and torrents Of yellow blaze
were pouring from dozens of the win
dows.
He had to pass through two of these.
and emerged nj each lower side stihed
and bluckened. But the rope re
manned, hanging like a thin black snake
in the heart OF the licking tongues of
fire, getting deeper and deeper charred
every moment. How long would it
continue to hold him?
Fully conscious of his new peril. he
let che cord slip past him still more
rapidly, till it felt rs though his hlnds
were being cut through to the very
bone by red-hot saw; and then-it
broke.
he felt numbing rush through the
air, Earring thud rs of ten thousand
earthquakes, suns shooting before his
eyes-and that was all. Oblivion held
him entirely.

Later on the doctor presented the
patient, over whom there had been
some controversy, with paper which
contained n lengthy account of the
fire, and the patient marvelled mt the
inventive powers of Chicago journal
lists. When, however, he came to the
list of the killed, about which there
could not well be any sentimental ro-
mRnclng, he put the paper do VII with
start. For awhile he lay still with
eyes fixed on the ceiling. Then his
glance descended again and roved
round the ward rather guilty. Find
ing that no one was noticing him. he
once more picked up the paper. Yes,
there it was, in incorporating black
and white, the third in the list OF the

ford, England" Curiosity made him
search further among the columns,
and he found the method Of his death
described with gruesome adiectives
and lurld headlines. This last owned
to being imaginative, rs it mentioned
that he had never been seen alive after
retiring for the night.
Yet it was bad conjecture of what
might have occurred to man who
was slowly suiIocated to death.
Again the paper huttered to the
floor. and again Carr's eyes sought the
ceiling. He was thinking very hard
indeed, and couldn't quito make up
his mind to something. \ course
seemed open before him, course
which had some drawbacks, but Il null

New York, Dec. 31.-President James
]. Martin, of the police department, will
resign his office within a few days. Mr.
Martin himself made the announce
ment.
He said: my friends know that
have been anxious to retire from the
police department for some time. This
place has never been congenial to me,
and now that the investigation of the
department by the LeXOw committee
has concluded. / intend to resign. l did
not resign under fire. My resignation
will be in the hands of Mayor Strong in
q few days. Concerning the testimony
given by Mr.. Byrnes before the Lexow
committee ] have this to say: AS presi-
dent of this department don't wish to
enter into controversy with the super
irtendent or anyone else. But L en-
phatically deny that the board or
personally have ever done anything to
interfere with the superintendent in
the proper discharge of his duties"
The one topic of discussion around
police headquarters today and in police
circles generally was Superintendent
Byrnes action in placing his applica-
tion for retirement from the force in the
hands of Mayor-elect Strong. In police
circles the universal impression is that
Mr.. Byrnes will be at the head of the
1'e-organiZed police force.
The question has been raised as to
whether or not the police board would
retire Mr.. Byrnes in the event that
Mayor-elect Strong should decide to
forward his application to the commits
sioners. The board has refused to re-
tire able-bodied officers. Under the
twenty-year law Mr.. Byrnes is entitled
to pension of s., 900 per annum.

Great MAXWELL BREAKER
An Ideal Coal Plant Will Soon Be in
Operation at Ashley.
THE NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS
For Screening and Cleaning
Coal That VIII Do Away with the Ser.
vices Of the Breaker Doy-TO
Cheaper Price of Coal.
By the limited Press.

BY the United Press.
Wilkes Barre, Pa, Dec. 31.-The great
Maxwell breaker, recently completed at
Ashley, WILL in q sort time be started
up for regular work. The tests made a
day or two ago show beyond doubt that
this is nearer the ideal coal plant than
any structure of it's use and purpose in
the entire anthracite region. The ca
pacity of 'the breaker is far greater, and
the machinery is notable improve
ment over any that has ever been put
inside of breaker.
The most notable feature, however, is
one that gives as much disquietude to
the miner as it gives satisfaction to the
coal operators. The machinery for
screening and cleaning the coal has
patent contrivances 50 arranged that
the slate and the bony coal will drop
into receptacles by force of gravity, al
lowing the good coal on to the crusher.
These appliances have never before
been used in the anthracite region, but
recent and thorough tests have uemon-
strated that they will do all that is eX-
pected of them.
The Breaker Boy Doomed.
The result of all this will be that the
breaker boy who is so important a
figure in the coal trade, will disappear
from it. A breaker like the new Max
well would employ 200 or 800 of these
boys, and their earnings go far towards
helping out the scanty pittance that the
father earns inside the mine. The ap-
piiance will cheaper the price of pro-
duction of a ton of coal and thus, while
1t will work distress to q few poor
families in the coal region, it will inure
to the advantage of the average poor
consumer of coal.
Another significant Improvement in
the new breaker is directly in line with
the exhaustive research of coal men for
the past half dozen years, and that Is
the almost complete saving of the small
er sizes of coal. This has been the
principle subject of discussion at all the
great gatherings of coal men, and the
successful solving of the problem will
mean revolution in some branches of
the coal industry. The breaker con-
tains 100000 feet of lumber and cost
$lJ0,000.

BYRNES ALL RIGHT,

~ tHS Chitca 1IeSS
New York, Dec. 31.-Senator Lexow
was asked today what he thought of
some Of the criticisms of the committee
and more particularly with reference to
some Of the sharp things which have
been said regarding the explanation of
Superintendent Byrnes.
We'll" said he, I'VE expected We
would be criticised whether we had
Byrnes on the stand or not. And If
we are criticised adversely it will not
only be unfair, but unjust. Byrnes
was asked to account for his wealth
and he did so. >,
There was not bit of evidence to
show that he was guilty of corruption,
and now, as matter of fact. this city,
this state, almost every State in the
union, was scraped with fine tooth
comb in order to get some evidence
against him, but it could not be found.
Byrnes, as matter of fact, challenged
any one inside or outside the depart
ment to show that he was ever guilty
of single wrong act"
Senator LeXow characterized as a
"lie' the statement that Byrnes had an
agreement with the committee that he
should be let down easy on the stand.
