In one of the rooms two dining-room
girls were asleep. One of them, whose

ON the glass as she did SO. She dragged
her companion to a place where she

had not been alarmed.
The task of doing this she took upon
herself. Breaking through fastened

hotel, the halls of which were thick
with choking smoke. She could not
walk upright against the smoke; but
getting down on her hands and knees,
her face to the floor, she crept through
the corridors, from room to room,
alarming all in the house.
Everywhere she left a trail of blood
behind her from her bleeding flesh.
When the last guest had opened the
door OF his room in response TO her
calls, he found her lying helpless in a
pool of her own blood.
Though he was himself half.smoth-

cropping his way, reached the street with
her in safety. No life was lost in the
fire; but it is said that several people
would undoubtedly have persisted but

The following incident is said to have
happened on Southern railroad, and is
reported in Harper's Magazine. The
conductor must have been humorist.
A traveller had come to the station to
board the eleven-tifteen train, and much
to his surprise, promptly at eleven-fifteen
the train started.
"Well," he said to the conductor, as
that worthy passed through the car,
they libel you up North when they say
your trains never start on time"
Il guess not" said the conductor.
"They tell the whole truth. We never
got II train off on time yet"
why, this train got of on time. It's
the eIeyen-iifteon, isn't it."

A HORSE WITH aYDROPHoBIA.


CHEsTERTowN, MD, Feb l4.--Mr John
II. Clendaniel lost one of the most valua-
BILE young horses on his farm, near Ken
nedyville, to-day, from hydrophobia. The
horse first showed symptoms last night
when being stabbed, swapping several times
viciously, but nothing was said to Mr..
Clendaniel about it. This morning, when
the stable was opened, the mare was found
loose, and was down in corner with an
other horse, swapping viciously at every
thing which came near.
While being secured she seized Mr.. Glen
daniels hand in her mouth, but fortu-
nately he wore a pair of heavy fur gloves,
and the hand was only painfully bruised
She was finally secured, and kicked and
snapped ut every one and everything
which came near her. Three other horses
i'll the stable were more or less bitten on
the back and neck. After being fastened
the mare bit and tore her own legs. Mr..
Clendaniel had no knowledge of any of his
stock having been bitten, but neigh Dor
had dog attacked with the rabies about
December LIST, and it is supposed that the
mare was bitten by that dog. An ex-
animation was made by DR.. q. Allen
Jarmau, and he pronounced the case
rabies.

The Prussian Minister of the Interior
Refuses the Demand OF the Polish
Deputies.
BERLIN, Feb. 15.-In the lower house of
the Prussian Diet to-day, Herr Won
Koeller, Minister of the Interior, refused
emphatically 10 entertain demand made
by the Polish deputies that the govern
ment should intervene against the work of
the Society for the Promotion of German
ism in the eastern provinces of Prussia.
Herr Won Koeller declared that the acts
of the society were not aggressive, whereas
the Polish press was always stirring up ill
feeling against Germans. Such an attack
upon the German element, he declared, re-
quired to be firmly repealed. National pride
commanded every German to do what was
best to promote Germanism in the eastern
provinces
Herr Won Koeller concluded his remarks
by advising the Poles to unite with the
Germans in peaceful work for the com.
