SHE SAVED HER CHILD.
Mrs. J. Levy Had a Thrilling Exper-
ience at Her Home iu For.
est Court Last Night.

Mrs. ]. Lcvy's 6-ycar-old son awak-
cned very suddenly at 1870 o'clock
last night and as the room where the
little boy sleeps on the second floor of
the double dwelling in Forest court
was dark he could not find his way
and began crying for his mamma.
Mrs. Levy was in a room down
stairs. She heard the moving about in
the room over her and she heard the
little boy calling. The mother fearing
that her son would fall down the stairs
hastily grasped lamp and speeded
to his rescue When she reached the
top of the stairs she stumbled and the
lighted lamp went spinning from her
hand.
That is what caused the fire alarm
from box 11G, corner of Olive street
and Wyoming avenue at 1910 o'clock
last night.
After the lighted lamp struck the
aoor the chimney was shattered and
Mrs. Levy saw a tongue of flame start
up from the carpet She only thought
of her son. Rushing over the burn
ing carpet at great danger to herself
Mrs. Levy grasped the boy and the
mother and son escaped through the
rapidly rising flames.
When she got outside Mrs. Levy
went to the Hotel Terrace office on
Olive street around the corner from
Forest court and the clerk sent in the
alarm, Nay Aug and Phoenix COM
panes responded and in twenty min
utes afterWard all the excitement was
over.

reach the fire. The company has two
new horses, furnished by Frank Cobb
on thirty days trial. At meeting
of the joint fire committee Tuesday
it was decided to reject the horses, the

easily hitched to the wagon. The 9TH

CRAWFORD FIRE ESCAPE.
II Was Tested Yesterday at Wyoming
and IackaWanna Avenues.

"
The Crawford fire escape was tested
yesterday afternoon at the corner Of
Wyoming and Lackawanna avenues.
Vale Melherg, a young man, jumped a
score of times from an electric light
pole into the big basket arrangements
which is intended by its inventor, JON
athan S. Crawford, of West Scranton,
to catch people who find it necessary
to escape by the air route from burn
ing buildings
The escape" has been the subject Of
detailed mention in The Tribune. 1t
was also seen on the tail end of the
last Firemen's day parade.
Yesterday Mr.. Crawford had his ap-
paratus on a wagon. At the corner
the test began at o'clock.
Explanatory canvass on the wagon
told what was going to happen. When
a crowd of from fifty to one hundred
persons had collected the wagon was
stationed close to the curb on the Wyo-
ming avenue corner Of the new de-
paTtment store. An electric light pole
was selected and Melberg, after maxi
ing a serious bow to the crowd, climbed
up to q point about thirty feet from
the ground. He took good aim at the
matrcsscd-b basket under him then he
dropped like an apple from a tree. His
body struck square in the opening,
bounced back about two feet and then
settled down 20 final repose.
This was repeated at intervals, Mel
berg getting more at ease every trip.
The crowd at one time was very pre-
tcntiOus, and some applause was heard.
Melberg got $40 for his services.
The test was made at the sugges-
tion of Chief of the Fire Department
i. j. Hickey. The inventor, Mr.. Craw-
ford, will now try to have his machine
adopted by the local department.
