SAVED HIS GRANDMOTHER.
Young Hero who >RIsl<ed His Life
RescuiEg Her.

Young Hero who NRIsked His Life
RescuiEg Her.
Had it not been for the heroic efforts
of 15-year-oid Roger Barry his invalid
grandmother, 60 years old, would have
burned to death when her home was de-
stroyed in Gilbertsville. n. V, the other
morning, says the New York Herald.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Tanning and
young Barry, their grandson, lived to-
gether in humble home a mile from
Dexter Center and quite distance from
any other dwelling. One morning dur
ing the temporary absence of the grand
father from home the house caught fire
and before the grandmother was aware
of the fact was n mass of flames. Young
Barry was in the barn when he heard the
cid lady scream for help and, looking
toward the house, saw flames leaping
from the windows.
When the boy reached the door the
cries ceased and it appeared impossible
for him to reach his grandmother alive.
He brayed the flames and smoke, how
ever, and reached the room where the
helpless old lady was sitting in her
chair, almost suffocated from smoke.
At first young Barry attempted to pull
the chair toward the door, but, finding
this impossible, summoned all his
strength, and, picking up his grand
mother in his arms, pushed through the
fire and smoke to the open air.
Then, looking down the road, young
Barry saw his grandfather fastening
toward him and exclaimed: Never
mind, grandpa, if the house has gone;
grandma and l are safe!"
God bless you, Roger" said the aged
man, as he clasped the child in his arms;
"are either of you injured?"
Grandma isn't burned particle"
said the boy; "and 1 will be all right in
a few days; only few blisters on my
hands" The aged grandmother was
speedily cared for by neighbors, and it
is believed will incur no serious harm
from the shock

COUGHS UP THE BULLET.
Wounded Girl AccOmplishes What
Surgeons Could Not.

Surgeons Could Not,
Amelia Franks, aged nine, who was
shot by her father at Philadelphia ten
days ago, and who has been lowering
between life and death ever since, has
coughed up the bullet fired into her
body, and thereby saved her life.
The coughing spell accomplished
what science failed to do Although all
the skill of the surgeons at the hos
pital was given to the little sufferer, it
was thought for a time that the bullet
lodged in the little ones throat would
cause her death.
The wound from which Amelia suf-
fered is regarded by the medical fra
ternity as a most peculiar one. The
bullet entered at the middle of the chin
and passed under the child's tongue,
landing in the muscles near the wind
pipe. Probing was resorted to, but the
missile was far out of reach, and the
physicians were compelled to desist for
fear of endangering the child's life.
The exact location of the bullet was
unknown until Tuesday last, when the
surgeons called in an expert dentist to
make a plaster cast of the girls mouth.
The cast indicated that the ball had
lodged near the root of the tongue. The
physicians deemed it dangerous and
useless to probe further, but it was de-
cided that unless the bullet was re-
moved the child would die.
The girl was resting quietly, when
she was suddenly seized with a violent
fit of coughing. After a few minutes
she expectorated the bullet. Immedi-
ately after coughing up the bullet
Amelia began to mend rapidly and prob
ably win recover.

coNvIcT'S STRANGE DEATH.
Current of Lightning Passes Through
Ten Men Before Proving Fatal.

Current of LiRhtnin G Passes Through
Ten Men Before Proving Fatal.
A freal1y flash of lightning, after
passing directly through ten men at
Waynesboro, Ga, the other night, killed
Frank Dent, who was the eleventh in q
row of that mary men. Dent was a
convict and was strung on chain with
ten companions, when death came sud-
denly, without any warning. So quick
ly was his life snapped that his asso-
ciates, through whom the death-dealing
current ran, knew nothing of their dan
ger until they observed Dents lifeless
form upon the ground beside them.
The batch of II convicts was working
in field late in the evening when a
severe storm came up. The guard
quickly strung the gang upon a long
chain and. hustled them toward tree.
Dent was at one end of the chain, while
the other end was made fast about the
tree, thus securing the crowd. A bright
flash came and in an instant the tree
was in splinters. The current leaped
from the tree along the links of the
chain, making u cracking noise as it
went. The flash blinded the gang, and
long before the sulphuric smell passed
away the convicts awoke from the
shock to find Dent, ON whom the cur
rent stopped, dead and two others badly
burned.
