SAVED BY VAPOR.

TFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.1
By the timely prevention of a strange
law of nature little known save to
scientific men, one of the wOrkmen at
Baldwin's Locomotive works escaped
yesterday afternoon from what, under
ordinary circumstances, would have
been absolutely certain death. The pud-
ding room of this factory contains a
large number of immense caldrOns, IN
which the iron is melted and purlhed-
The labOrer wheels his barrow contain
ing the ore up an inclined plane to
their open mouth, a height of three
feet from the floor, and then emptles
the barrow into the caldrCn.
Joseph COnnOr, one Of the puddlerS,
was totally unclOthed from his waits
upward He had been at work scarcely
five minutes yesterday when one of his
fellow WOrkmen gave a cry which di-
rected the attention of the entire force
at work to the awful situation into
which COnnOr had got himself. Bending
over the molten liquid, his head and
chest completely immersed in its depths
he was holding by his hands to the
edge and trying, apparently, to draw
back from the terrible position into
which he had fallen. 1t was at once
evident that COnnOr had somehow
missed his footing and fallen partially
into the boiling metal
Fellow WOrkmen at once rushed to the
spot and he was hastily dragged out.
Everyone expected to find his face and
chest a hideOusly charred mass and
some of the men had already turned
away their eyes rather than gaze on the
terrible sight they expected would be
presented. But to the amazement of
his rescuers, save for the loss of his
hair COnnOr was absolutely uninjUred-
Not a Disagreement, not burn, not
even a blister was to be seen. The work
men were badly scared by the seeming
marvel Later the Pudding manager
explained the matter to the men,

said: 1t is a pity that the United

bracing the greater part of the taxable
