that a brewery was about to be started
in Stroudsburg, Penn, a Methodist minis

prayed that the building be shattered by
lightning, and not long afterward it was
actually damaged by lightning. THIS not

OF all these prayers the brewery has been
started and has plenty OF orders to keep

BOY SWALLOWS A LIVE FISH

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE three
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver w.
Hubbard had a remarkable experience
yesterday. He took from small glass
aquarium catfish and put the fish In mas
mouth When his mother discovered nm
the chiids face was livid. She raised MIN
in her arms and fransicaily sought for the
cause of his condition. Her cries for he.p
brought Mr.. Hubbard. He opened the
ch.ld's mouth and was astonished to see
the tail. OF a fish wriggling far down the
boys throat. He caught the tail pc
tween his fingers and strove to remove
the fish. Its twisting and wriSSlins
could be plainly felt. But the scales aud
fins clurg to the boys throat when the
fish was drawn back, and Mr.. Hubbard
instantly appreciated that his efforts 70
remove it were futile.
DE-. A. E. Payne was summoned by
messenger. He found the boy near.y
unconscious from exhaustion, as the nsh
prevented breathing. Nearly two hours
we're spent in trying various means To
withdraw the fish. All failed. f1naiiy
the boy was placed under the influence Oh
chloroforp and the fish was moved 1ar
enough to one side of his throat to aiio"
him TO breathe. AS the boys struggles
ceased the fish was observed to be slowly
slipping down, and az last it was swat
lowed.
The patients condition was Improving
last night and he will recover.

FAILURE STARTS RUMOR
ASSIGNMENT OF GRANT BROS, NEW

Is Followed by an Unconfrmed Report
that the Firm Had Lost Money
by DefaIcatiOn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The firm of Grant
ment to-day to e. G.. Steadman, and the
assignment was made the basis of a lot of
rumors which in substance were to the
effect that the stoppage of the firms BUSH
ness was due 10 a defalcation. The amount
of the defalcation was placed at from $780,
0oa to $4,000, but up to the present no one
connected with the firm will admit or deny
the rumors that are flying around and just
where they started is not known. The firm
was prominent on the Stock Exchange
some years ago. but of late has been mac
tive. Mr.. Steadman says the liabilities Will
be below 100000, and probably less than
half that sum and that of late the Grants
have been winding up their affairs.
Mr.. Steadman, when seen at his residence
tonight, was asked for a statement con-
corning the firm, inasmuch as the after
noon papers had published columns Of
the affair and had made certain imputa-
tions concerning persons. He said: IT
shall not make any report until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning and then / will give
this report to all the newspapers at my
office. / know that certain imputations
have been made against certain persons,
but / advise all to be careful and 80 slow

myself. 1t is impossible for me to make

pose TO give out the statement of the firm S
condition tomorrow"
Asked If 1T was true that he called on
Captain McClusky, of the detective bureau
at police Headquarters. in connection with
the case, Mr.. Steadman said: II did NOT
call on Captain McClusky or any other
member of the police department in con-
will do so. That is all / care to say

REPORT OF 8. 1. KIMBALL, SUPER
INTENDENT OF THE SERVICE.
From 364 Shipwrecked Vessels, Car
rying 2,656 Persons, 2,6O7 Peo-
pie Were Rescued.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--S. i. Kimball
general superintendent of the life-saving
service. in his annual report to Secretary
Gage, says that at the close OF the fiscal
year the establishment embraced go sta
tons, 1874 being on the Atlantic, fifty-eight
on the lakes, sixteen on the Pacific and
one at the falls of the Ohio at Louisville,
KY.
The number of disasters to documented
vessels within the field Of operations of the
service during the year was 364. There were
on board those vessels 2,655 persons, OF
whom 2,607 were saved and forty-eight lost
Six hundred and seventy-three shipwrecked
persons received succor at the stations, to
whom LAS days relief in the aggregate
were afforded. The estimated value of the
vessels involved in disaster was $6,12I,5OO,
and of their cargoes $3,S42,69O, making a
total value of property Imperfect S,fsV, l5O
OF this amount $7,234,6S0 was saved, and
g. 235, 500 lost. The number OF vessels to-
tally last was sixty-seven. In addition to
the foregoing, there were during the year
S29 casualties to small craft, such as small
yachts. sailboats rowboats. etc, on board
OF which were Isl persons, OF whom hve
were lost. The property involved In these
instances is estimated at S267, 070. of which
s256, 10 was saved and $4,000 lost.
Besides the number of persons saved
from vessels of all kinds there were 595
rescued who had fallen from wharves,
piers and other positions of extreme peril,
many of whom would have persisted with
out the aid of the life-saving crews. Five
hundred and fourteen of these were res
cued from dwelling houses, outbuildings
and other elevated places submerged
wholly or in part by the terrible flood Of
the Brazos river, in Texas, July to IL,
1899.
The crews saved and assisted to save
during the year 81 vessels, valued, with
their cargoes, at $4.004,590, and rendered
assistance of minor Importance TO 6S4 other
vessels in distress, besides warning from
danger 1914 vessels.
The Investigations made into the details
of every shipwreck involving loss of life,
and into the conduct of the life-saving
crew, show that no life was lost through
lack of prompt and faithful efforts on the
part of the life-saving station. More than
one-half of those that persisted were lost
by reason of their unwise attempts TO
reach the shore in their own boats. instead
OF remaining on board the wrecks. The
cost of the maintenance of the service dur
ing the year was s1,535, 1856.
The general superintendent calls atten-
ton to the justice and necessity of an in
crease in the compensation of district SUI
perintendents, who he believes are the
poorest paid servants of the government,
considering the nature and extent OF their
duties and their heavy financial response

behalf.
