ing that he might not die.
Late that night sharp thunder
storm swept over the city, bringing
| healing in it's cool myers. Mrs. Hunt
and the doctor were watching the sicl
mans face keenly, for the crisis haC
arrived. Blanche, on the other side
held her fathers hand while the nurse
stood back awaiting developments
There came a flash Of lightning as il
the sky were torn asunder from west
to east, and clap of thunder shook the
house. Mr.. Hunt opened his eyes.
Harriet" he said in faint whisper
sand Blanche, papa" his daughter
said bending over him.
''Swallow this" said Doctor Hamp-
ton, slipping his arm under the help
less head and placing a spoon at the
parched lips.
The potion was swallowed, the eyes
closed, and sleep, refreshing and life
giving, descended at last upon the Wea
ry eyelids.
Too weak to stand, Mrs. Hunt was
helped to her room by the doctor and
nurse. Presently Blanche slipped
away, and the nurse took charge of the
convalescent man.
"He will live Doctor Hampton
said, and utterly broken down, Mrs
Hunt could do nothing but say
'Thank God' and lie back helpless or
her pillows.
She was confined to her bed several
DAYS, and Blanche divided her time be-
tween the two sick rooms. 1t was
forty-eght hours before Mr.. Hunt was
strong enough to ask questions, but
after that he improved rapidly. 1t was
September, however, before he was
able to drive out, and all the fashion
able world was home again before he
could go to his office.
His partner had lost the Ellsworth
case, but Harvey Hunt thought tina
what he had gained in the society anc
tender love Of his wife and daughter
was cheaply bought.
Mrs. Hunt stays at home in the
summer now. This happened quite {
number OF years ago, and Blanche, who
has been a happy wife several years
follows her mothers example. Some
times they run away for a week, never
longer, and occasionally the husband;
steal a few weeks from business, anc
they go away together. But the dreary
tenant1ess house in town, and the
scorching weeks spent in Loneliness
and discomfort, are not known to the
heads of these households
Strangely enough during her hus
bands illness, Mrs. Hunt discovered
that with money and common sense, E
woman can keep her house cool, ever
in the city, and she devotes a gooC
deal of her time and energy to accom-
plishing this desirable result Fashion
able friends condole with her at times
over what she misses, but she laughs
at them, and having broken away from
at least one of the chains Of fashion
she is happier, and quite as handsome
as when she kissed her husband

lightly, developed fund Of common
sense and energy when brought. face
to face with an emergency. Stopping
only to press a swift kiss on the hot
forehead of the sick man, she flew to
the telephone. DR.. Hampton, her
family physician, was soon aroused.
Few words told him all that was neces-
sary, and fifteen minutes later Mrs.
Hunt let him in at the front door
Harvey Hunt tossed back and forth
on his bed, muttering incoherently.
Mrs. Hunt could give the doctor no
information as to his conditions.
SHE did not write," she said. 81
could not find him by telegraph, and [
became frightened and came home"
"1e has probably been unconscious
since yesterday some time" the doctor
said, 'and I tell you plainly Mrs Hunt,
his condition is critical. Where is the
telephone?"
The lady showed him, and he tele-
phoned for trained nurse, who ar
rived speedily. He then left, return
ing in an hour with another doctor,
and so the struggle for life began.
By persistent telephoning and Wig
orous messenger service, Mrs. Hunt
found her cook and house maid, who
fastened to her relief, cheerfully cut
ting their own vacations short. The
services Of other servants were dis
pensed with for the time being, and in
few hours the sick man was sur-
rounded with everything needful. The
refused absolutely to leave her hus-
band, and the doctors, finding that love
and anxiety made her a model nurse,
allowed her to have her way.
''Heat and overwork," was Doctor
Hampton's verdict. But he said to
his brother physician, IF he hadn't
been left alone to look after himself,
as half the business men in the City are
left in the summer, he would probably
have been all right. Wives do not re-
alize what they have to answer for by
yielding to this abominable fashion of
neglecting hard working husband
through the hot summer months"
Three days passed; no change; doc
tors and nurse looked grave, and Mrs.
Hunt said suddenly
Doctor, I shall cable Blanche to
come home" And so she did Twen
ty-four hours later the answer came.
Sail today. City of Rome
The City of Rome broke her record
that trip, and it was barely week later
when Blanche was admitted to the 81
lent house where her father lay at
deaths door.
The girl fell weeping into her moth
er's arms.
"'Blanche," Mrs. Hunt said, ''hush!
You cannot see your father at all I'm

never recognized anyone, and the doc
tors think your presence may help him

A BRAKEMAN's TERRIBLE FATE.
Foot Held in n Frog and the Cnrs
Hacked Over Him.

New York, May 23.-Caught like a fox in
a spring trap, James McNamee awaited
death while a slow moving freight train
backed down on him at st. George, Staten
Island. yesterday. A fox caught in trap
has chewed off his leg and SO escaped; the
man, McNamee. could not extricate him
self
McNamee is freight brakeman. forty
years old. In the yards of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad he was running ahead
to turn a switch for train of a dozen
cars that was backing. The heel of his
right foot caught in the frog of the switch
and halted him, pinned him there.
He could not release his boot from the
clutch OF the iron; ne could not withdraw
his leg from the boot. While he struggled
with all his strength to escape the train
slowly, slowly approached, but it seemed
to him it was gushing on him with light
ming speed. His yells for help, his cries
to the engineer so far away at the head
of the train were drowned by the rattle
and banging of the cars.
The last car struck McNamee relentless
ly, pushed him over, for its impact was
not forcible enough to hurl him to the
of and the grinding wheels injured him in
ternally. He was taken to the Smith In
firmary. New Brighton. There is little
hope that he will survive. He is married
and his home Is at Tower HILL

A CoWARDLY ASSAULT.
An InoGensive Man Killed by II
Georgia Mob.

Fayetteville Ga, May pa body of
masked men or boys went to the house
of Tom Hinton, negro tenant on James
H HeImers' plantation at Camp Creek, a
small station six miles north of here, burst
his door open with an ak and then shot
the negro twice. once in his abdomen with
a shotgun and once with pistol, the ball
striking him in his left side near his
heart.
The negro had two pistols in the bed
where he and his wife were sleeping. 1t is
supposed he opened fire on the mob. as
there were several places in the yard in
the direction that the crowd left which
shows that he made a desperate effort to
defend himself. The negro's wife started
to run, and he followed her, but fell in
about twenty feet of the house and died.
There were several negroes whipped that
night in the community and it is possible
that the same mob that did the whipping
killed Tom Hinton.
1t is generally believed that the mob in
tended TO carry him out and whip him,
but he made it too warm for them with
the two pistols, he shooting in se!f-de-
fence Hinton was an inonensive negro.
He lived within his income. 1t is feared
that the affair, if it is ever solved, and it
probably will be from the evidence viii

the following additional facts regarding the
Dawson City fire. II started in the ROOMS
of Helen Holden from an oyerturning of a
coal oil lamp, the result of drunken row.
These rooms were situated over the Bodega
saloon on the water front. The fremen
answered promptly. but the fire engine
would not work and the bucket brigade
could do nothing. One hundred and eleven
houses were destroyed, the following be-
ing partial list:

During the fire hysterical women went
screaming through the streets and the
hoarse voices of hurrying men and the
roar OF the flames made mad melody Of
sounds never to be forgotten. Owing TO so
many saloons being burned barrels were
piled high in the street and the cutters
ran whiskey from smashed kegs. Whisky
was handed out by the dipperful free for
everybody A wild orgy followed the
dreadful fire when gamblers. disreputable
women, and saloon men danced and rolled
around the big heaps Of miscellaneous fur
niture bedding. gambling tables, saloon
fixtures, and barrels of liquor piled out in

woman, is seriously i'll. She has b-en ali!
ing for some time past, and at times she
almost believes the close of all is nsar.
In accordance with her order, all her
manuscripts have been burned. Into the
fire went material that might have proved
of great value to a biographer-unpublish
ed writings, essays. poems, lectures-the
fruit of u busy lifetime was reduced to
ashes. The manuscripts included six score
poems in Mrs. Livermores own handwrit-
ing.
Mrs. Liyermore stated to an intimate
friend who called: 1T is true that | have
burned all my accumulation of manu-
scripts-a bushel of it or more. but did
not care TO leave it behind me when the
end should come
Although her friends demonstrated Wig
orously with her when they learned of
Mrs. Livermore's intention to consign her
work to the furnace, even her scrap books,
filled with comments upon the books she
had read during many years, have been
ruthlessly consigned to the flames. In
many instances these comments rivaled
the books themselves in interest, or.gi-
nality. and witty turns of thought and ex-
preston.
While Mrs. Livermore feels at times
that her end is very near. her friends hope
for the best and send letters OF. encourage

Cabin John Bridge Sunday. and supposed
to have been dead since Friday night. vas
identified yesterday as that of Edward
Thompson, thirty-three years Old, former
ly clerk of the city court of Baltimore.
The Identification was made by John C.
Roth, proprietor of the hotel at 2s3O East
Fayette Street Baltimore, who arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon and proceeded
at once to Glen Echo. where the body was
held awaiting a claimant. Mr. Roth en-
gagged the services of Undertaken George
c. Wise. and the body was brought TO this
city and prepared for burial. Further ar
rangements were made to have the remains
shipped 10 Baltimore.
The credit for the Identification of the
body is due TO a Baltimore woman, who re-
fused to give her name. She read the de-
scription of the suicide in The Times. and,
thinking il was a friend, she iournayed
quietly to this city in the hope Of identi-
flying the body. Her suspicious were not
verified and being Of an investigating
frame of mind she asked to see the effects
Z taken from the clothes of the dead man.
( Among them was an empty pocketbook.
which bore in faint letters the inscription.

acquainted with the proprietor of the ho-
4 TEL she called him up over the long
! distance telephone and informed him of
what she had learned. Mr.. Roth had
{ distributed but a limited number Of the
pocketbooks to immediate friends. and de-
I cided that he must know the holder of the
/ one mentioned by the unknown woman.

( and on arrival here went to Glen Echo.
with the result above stated.
Mr. Roth stated yesterday evening that
he could assign no cause for the suicide Of
Mr. Thompson other than dependency,
and he was surprised that such a
condition had existed. Mr.. Thompson was
formerly clerk of the city court, as as
stated. and was deprived of his Office after
the recent change in the political admin
istration of the city government. He was
a Republican and naturally had to give
! way to the Democratic candidate for the
Office He was unmarried and lived with
his aged mother. His father died several
years ago The funeral of Mr.. Thompson

under glass case. and many animals,
reptiles, fish. and other curiosities Ham
rick's secret for preserving butter was
much sought, as was also the secret for
preserving fresh meat. a quarter of beef
was put through the process and hung in
the sun for a long period. Some months
after it was put through the process it
was tested by responsible persons, who
pronounced it excellent food. Hamrick
