ley and just In the rear Of the house
which is owned by Mr.. James T. Bradley
is the home of Mary Green, a colored
woman, whose thin, kinklng hair was
already grizzled when the war came on.
Some one saw the fame soon after 1t
started and turned in the alarm. The
response of the department was quick,
and a small stream soon put aside all
possibility Of a conhagration. So far.
all was happy enough, but by some chance
the old woman had been locked in the
house, and her screams to be let out
when this fact dawned on her were en-
phatic and distressing. Response on the
part Of the firemen was quick here, too.

dropped their weighty selves against the
door, and open 1t came.

Maurice yesterday morning charged with
fast driving in the street The Mayor
