SWENIE NEAR DEATH.
Chicago's Veteran Fire Fighter
Overcome by Smoke in
Burning Factory.

Chicago. ILL.,, Feb 2-Fire Chief Swe-
ME had narrow escape from death early
today in the burning factory of the
Rauch Furniture Manufacturing COM
pany. The veteran head of the depart
ment was overcome by smoke and fell
unconscious in the rear of the Office on
the first floor The members of engine
company No. 5 bore Chief Swenie from
The building just in time to save his life.
The chief had gone into the building
alone and it was several minutes before
his men knew of his peril. The structure,
which is four stories high and covers a
large area, was burning tercely from the
second floor. where the first originated

trated downward to the first floor when
the chief arrived in response to the alarm
that was turned in soon after the fire
was discovered.
of water from leads of hose upon the
blaze. While waiting for the summoned
reinforcements to arrive, Chief Swenle
seized an axe and broke in the front door
Of the factory. He went within almost
unnoticed. After some little time elapsed
and his absence was noted "a number of
fremen went in search of him:
his eyes were closed, his breath was com
ing family, and his arms hung nerveless
by his side when he was carried into the
street. There was excitement and con-
sternation among the firemen.
Never before had the veteran been
overcome and never had there been neces-
sity for rescue of him by his own men.
The group that gathered about, him felt
sure that some serious injury had been
sustained by Chief Swenie, but an exam
nation disclosed that smoke alone had
caused him to lose consciousness.
After few minutes the unconscious
chief was partially revived. He was then
removed to a nearby engine house. A
physician who was called said the chiefs
condition was not serious.
This is the first time III over half Il
century of fire fighting that Swenie had
been compelled to retreat before his foe.
Lately Chief Swenie has been subjected
to fainting spells and it is supposed that
he was seized with one of these when the
cloud of smoke settled down on him.
The damage to the Rauch Manufacture
ing company will reach $4,000.

YEARS TRADE WELL BEGUN.
Eject of Previous Contracts
by Dun and Rradstreet,

by Dun and Rradstreet.
New York, Feb. 3.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review Of trade says:
This year starts with much of the years
business already done, and all conpa risons
will prove misleading il that fact is not
taken into account. With the one eXcap-
ton Of wooden Manufacture, the chief in,
dustrieS have met. less new business in IAN
nary than last year, though deliveries on
previous contracts have been larger than q;
year ago. and, rightly considered, the fact
that new contracts for works already well
supplied are smaller than last year, is not
of itself discoura ging. Wool is rather
weaker in some grades, but stronger in
others. Failures for the week have been
80 in the United States against 224 last
year. and thrty-four in Canada, against
twenty-five last year.
Bradstreet's says:
Weather influences have played no small
part in the general trade situation this
week, and yet some of the unqueSt0nable
improvement in tone can hardly be changed
to the more seasonable weather expert
enced. Whatever the causes, hOwever-and
these have been diverse-the fact remains
that 6 number of staples, no less than specu-
lative securities, have hardened in value
during the week. Wheat, including -four
shipments for the week aggregate 2.724 937
bushels, against 1851 1917 bushels last week
Corn exports for the week aggregate $685.

partment of Sterling, Welch & Co., has
just had most remarkable experience

socket. and in doing so carried the eyelid
in with it. He was blind for the time be-

doubt that the Free State burghers are
becoming tired Of war, and it is rumored

Sothern was Angry.

E. A. Sothern OF "Dundreary" fame
was once dining at Portsmouth at regi-
mental mess After dinner one of the Of
ficers asked Sothern to give. them a reel
tation. Now Sothern would not tolerate
being treated as an entertainer when he
was by way of being treated as gen
tleman. He coldly declined. They
pressed him. He holly declined. Still
they would take no denial. At last he
said, in a manner which showed that
he was netted, but yet yielding: We'll.
if you won't let me off. must. I'll give
You the dinner scene from David Gar

better. They were delighted until,
springing to his feet, he made his wild
tipsy exit, just as he did on the stage.
and dragged the cloth off the table, and
with 1t all the regiments priced dessert
china and decanters and glasses, etc.
Thereupon he calmly resumed his seat,
but thereafter Sothern dined no more
with that regiment.
