Little Girl Badly Burned.

The clothes of Annie, the ten year
old daughter Of David Beyis, while
playing around bonfire yesterday az
ternoon, near her home, No. 23l0
West Eighteenth Street, were ignit-
ed by spark, when she ran scream
ing toward the store Of Frank Law,
who with his son Herbert were stand
ing on the porch, and both ran to her
rescue, The young Law, being light
of foot was the first to reach Ter, and
throwing his coat over her tore the
burning garments from her body, and
thus saved her life, although in doing
so one OF his hands was burned to
blister. Immediately afterward his
father, Mr.. Law, approached with a
blanket and threw IL over her. PO-
liceman McAteer also came up and
assisted to convey her to her home.
Had they been but two minutes later,
she would probably have been fatally
burned, instead of her back being
slightly burned and her hips little
scorched. DR.. Palmer was called in
and afforded the necessary medical
aid. This lie the second child Of the
same family whose life young Law
has saved, the clothes of one Of them
having caught on fire about year

TUESDAY. MAY 7. 1901.

THEY say the reason DR.. Fahey
is backing DR.. J. Harvey Spruance
for mayor on the Democratic ticket
is that, in case he should be elected
his would appoint him (Fahey) one
of the Water Commissioners In the
place OF VIM. II. Swift. who was
appointed to serve until the end Of
MIR. Porter's term, which will be
UP in July. The new mayor ap-
points to fill the vacancy. BY APP
pointing DR.. Fahey one of the Wa.
ter Commissioners it would make
that body Democratic for a certain
ty and there would besuch a shak-
ing up OF that Department as it has
not seen for years. We know that
this is the program mapped out If
certain contingencies exist after
the June election. The Water De-
part.nent is to he made part Of The
Democratic m achIne tor. the purpose
OF giving places to numerous hun

DR.. Fahey is lighting Peter J. Ford
who was the one man OF all others
who brought Fahey out for Mayor
and elected him 10 that office when
there did not appear to be the re.
hottest idea that Fahcy could be
s'ected. now these two men are
fighting each other and both have
candidates in the field. J. Harvey
Whiteman, attorney.at-law, is back
ed by Peter ]. Ford aud DR.. Harvey
Spruance is backed by DR.. Fancy.
The Democr this time, have
three candidates in the field icr
Mayor, each backed by different
men. Daniel ". Hughes. one Of
the best known men III the city, is
backed by men who don t often take
an interest in politics, and they say
Hughes will capture the nomination
and if there is any dlssenslon IN
