for the plan of building a jail away from
the vicinity of the present structure is
from every point of view an extraordi-

STORIES OF THE STREET.

In frame stable on Jackson street
early yesterday morning were performed
some exploits that are encouraging to
those who have feared there was a
decadence of the heroic in man. Half a
hundred horses were confined in this
stable, from which flames were pouring
as 1T seemed at every orifice. For a time
the horses could be heard paving the
floors of their stalls, but the roar Of
the flames drowned the sound and they
were given up for dead.
Meantime the ffremen had gone to wosk
to overcome the flames. In half an hour
the DANES were driven back of the rum
way, through which the horses found
their way in and out of the cellar, and
the smoke had been to some extent
cleared out of the lower floors, although
the fire was still blazing fiercely in the
rear of the building, and even on the
upper floor near the front.
And while one detachment of firerlen
kept the flames back. another went down
into the cellar among the frenzied ami
mails
There was nothing of the spectacular
about this work of rescue, no carrying Of
fainting women or children down flaming
ladders. Down in the dark, hafters had
to be united or cut, dumb brutes, stu
pefied by smoke and nearly dead from
the drenehing they had received, had to
be routed by force ouE of their quarters,
and saved in spite of themselves.
Was it to save property all this? Yes,
but no.
Other property more costly lay more
accessible, but here were living, breathing
beings. dumb and net able to express any
gratitude they might feel. But they
lived, and it was to them thar men turned
their attention.
''There comes one," shouted a by
stander, as ore of the frightened ami
mails, led by a fireman, stood in the barn
door. Two more came soon after Vof>
uEteers hurried III to assist in the work.
By tWes and threes They came, out Of
la black depths, scarcely more alive
than dead, the crowd in front following
the count with the deepest interest.
Twenty 1t was nearly half of the
stable "'Twenty-one, twenty-five, twen>
ty-three,' but the twenty third horse
was more spirited than those which had
preceded him, and when he came to the
door, and saw the shower of sparks from
the fire engines heard the shouts of ths
crowd he, very horse-iike, SHE'D, kicked
his rescuer, and backed into the barn
again. But he was saved in spite OF him
self and when, after brief but spirited
struggle, the fireman, with a stable en-
ploye, marched the obstreperous animal
out into the street, the pent up feelings
of the crowd found vent in a long round
Of hand-clapping-
Finally, after nearly an hours impris>
onment in a death trap. thirty-three
horses were saved from the names, at
least, much of the fire of their own
natures taken out Of them. but never

horses. even for army use.
