RESCUED WITH DIFFICULTY
Five Lives Endangered by Fire
in the Division.
Firemen and Policemen Got the In
mates Out-The Blaze Did Little
Material Damage

An exciting fire occurred In the Division

and Warren.
The smoke from the burning building first
attracted their attention, but they sup
posed it came from the chimney OF thepower
house. In few minutes, however, they
detected the fire in the grocery store, ana
Williams ran to the box and sent in an
alarm, while Warren hurried TO the house TO
arouse the inmates. The building was fun
of smoke and the fire well under way when
he reached the house. The Italian was al
most saffocated, and had to be carried from
the burning building by the policeman.
In n few minutes No. engine conpanyre
spunded TO the alarm. and the flrst pre-
Cinct reserve appeared. The lower part or
the building was in flames, and those in-
mates on the upper floors were in great
danger. 4 ladder was placed against the
building and Fireman Richard Smith burst
In a window and rescued Mrs. Tippctt and
her week-old baby, bringing them down the
ladder. In the meantime Policeman Orr
ami had entered the building, and succeed
ell in arousing old Mrs. Tippctt and two more
children all of whom he helped out in safety.
An oyer-beatcd stove was the cause OF the
fire The building and furniture were dam
aged TO the extent of about $500. The
premises were owned by Frank z. Burke,
and were fully insured.

Placards calling attention to the law pro

ciety committee. of which Mrs. Mary K.
Knowlton is chairman.
The purpose OF these warnings is to di

with their legs tied and heads down. Mrs.
Knowltou says:
THE abuse is still rife in our streets,
and consideration for public health, If not
humanity, requires some action restricting

carrying live fowls about the streets. Each
member OF the Humane Society could aid
greatly in this reform by refusing to buy
fowls carried about with their legs tied
and heads down, at the same time explain
ing the rea son for SO doing. Such concerted
gaction upon the part OF two or three hun
dred people would eventually produce good
xesulta.v

with his storage battery boat, the Cosira.
Mr.. Astor built a 46-foot boat, which he

suited Charles d. Mosher, ana last week
placed an order with Nyack firm for
the construction of the largest, finest and
most completely equipped electric auNil-

OF Which Amount All but Nine
Million Bushels Will Be
for Expert.

CHICAGO, June 23.-After many
vicisSitude> during the period of growth
the Star" Of Kansas has rrodueed an
eminently satisfactory crop Of wheat.
From returns furnished from every
county ii the state in answer to i'll
Quries by The Post. the total yield is
found TO amount to about $4,000. coo
bushels That is almost double the
quantity produced i'll the same state the
year previous. 1t also exceeds the
average yield of the last five
years, which include the phenomenal
heavy crop of 1892. 1t is 9,0O0,O ,O0c
bushels more than was received during
the year 1S94-95 at the four principal
winter wheat markets, and $1,000, 900
bushels in excess of the.quantity report
ed at the same four principal winter
wheat markets since July /, almost a
year ago, to the present date. AS the
requirements of the people of Kansas
for bread and seed are not to exceed
5000, 900 bushels per annum, it follows
that from her 5000 900 bushels crop of
the present year she can export to com.
munities outside of her own borders
"a ,OOO, 900 bushels, or about 10000, ,OOC
bushels more than the total production
of Argentine last year, according to the
latest estimates.

Mrs. Nettie Craven Likely to Ignore a
Probate Courts Order.
SAN Francisco, June 23.-Charles L.
Fair and his attorneys may have q
merry chase to catch a glimpse of the
two deeds conveying over 100000
worth of his fathers property to Mrs.
Nettie r. Craven, which We're recorded
on Friday last 1t is in the range of
possibilities that Mrs. Craven will re-
fuse to obey the order of Judge Stack to
show these documents in court. To be-
gin with. her attorneys doubt very seri-
ously the power Judge Stack has to
compel the production of these instru-
ments, on the ground that they were
executed prior to the date of the Fair
will, and consequently not material to
the contest now going on. In the sec
ond place, the deeds have dropped out
of sight for the time being and it is a
question if any of the four people upon
whom the order of the court was served
have them now in their possession.
