TWO THRILLING RESCUES
Roundsman Casey and Pa
trolman Lurvey Go Into
Flames for Helpless
Tenants.

A fire that threatened the destruction of
a row of frame houses broke out in No.
24S Railroad avenue and spread to the
adjoining budding, No. 250. The fire was
discovered at 12:15 A. NJ in the apart
ments of Mrs. McGovern, on the second
floor of the three-story frame tenement,
No. 24S. The house was occupied by sew
eral families, who had retired for the
night. There were several narrow es
capes of people who fled from the burn
ing building.
The flames spread so rapidly that it was
almost impossible for the tenants to dress
themselves. With but little wearing APP
parel, which they snatched up in passing
they hastened from the burning building.
Kind neighbors cared for the homeless
ones during the night, and made hot cof
fee for the firemen.
AS soon as the firemen had the fire un-
der control in the tenement where it or
igfnated, it was discovered that the four
story tenement adjoining was ablaze The
men Immediately turned their efforts to-
wards it.
1t was from this building that two
man Casey and Patrolman Luryey of the
First precinct. When the fire was at it's
height there was loud yelling in front of
the building that an invalid woman and a
cripple were still in the building
Roundsman Casey and Patrolman Lur-
vey, upon hearing this dashed into the
flames They were lost to view for fully
five minutes. The people outside had be-
gun to fear for the safety of the two men
when they emerged each carrying in his
arms a limp figure. The firemen were
themselves half suffocated with smoke
Roundsman Casey rescued Mrs. Beckham,
sixty-five years old, who was sick, and
Patrolman Lurvey brought out Christian
Wild, a cripple The rescued were remov-
ed to the residence of John Clark at No.
25g Railroad avenue. The firemen did
heroic work.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE TWELFTH
Democratic Ward Club is Bestirring
Itself.

The Twelfth Ward Democratic Club
held a very interesting meeting last night.
1t was only recently that the club decided
to take a hand in the matter of securing
improvements for the ward. The Twelfth
Ward Improvement Association has, by
its influence, accomplished much in this
line, and it is said, Is inclined 10 be jealous
Club But as the Improvement Assocla-
ton is desirous of securing improvements,
1t is thought that it will welcome the SER
vices Of the powerful political ward asso-
citation, of which Street and Water Com-
missioner James S. Nolan is at the head.
The Improvement Committee of this as
ISOLATION last night reported the need Of
the following improvements: Iron starr
way from the top Of the cliff at the foot
of Congress street leading down into Ho-
boken; wooden stairway at the foot Of
Bowers street, leading down TO. the Pat
erson Plank Road; new receiving BASIN
at New York avenue and South street,
fixing Of the pavement on Summit avenue
from Manhattan avenue north. The club
will urge these improvements.
Daniel Leddy filed an application for
support as candidate for the IRE de-
partment.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, July 16.-Cotton offer ings were fairly full and we'll assorted and factors were inclined to trade upon an easy basis. But the purchasing ele- ment while willing to treat for desirable lists at slightly lower lever of values, was not disposed to accept the quoted range of prices. Buyers for export are now possessed of large measure of dis erection and just at this juncture they, as class, seem to consider it the better policy to hold off bit and await further developments. Business in spots, there port. Is comparatively light. Sales, 1250 bales. including 500 to arrive. Quotations 1-16 lower.
 The market for contracts was rather quiet today. except for the trading in De- tobers which was fairly brisk. Operators seemed to be uncertain as to the probable definite trend of values and as a result the movement was accompanied by moder- ately rapid. If not overwide fluctuations Liverpool came in lower by 3-32d for spots than yesterdays closing and netted loss for the day on deliveries of 1 64d for the near months and partial 1-64d for the distant positions. On first call the mar ket stood 3@o points below yesterdays closing figures and thereafter fuctuated considerably over a narrow range but with distinct heaviness that carried it down gradually until the close, when net loss of 19d20 points was shown on all positions compared with yeserday's clos ing figures.

WALL STREET REVIEW RISE IN STOCKS CORN CARRY
 ING POOLS. Towards the Close, However, Prices Were Again Depressed-In- huential Buying Holds Up
 Steel Trust Stocks.

NEW YORK. July Is-There was show of strength in the early stock mar ket today. but it was mostly. dissipated before the close. The attention to the crop news and the reports over night of rains was strong influence in the ad- vance Of the corn-carrying roads, which extended from 2 to 2ss in the most prom leading. The sharp rally in the corn market late in. the day and the language or the weekly Government crop report before the close St. Paul fell to a sharp fraction under last night. The Govern ment cotton report was considered favor able and was reflected in the comparative nrmness of some of the Southern lines. The United States Steel stocks were ap- parently begged. ah1 their unyielding support discouraged mere raiding tactics or the present bears. but the insiders who bought stock had to accept a continued stream Of liquidation all the day. There seemed to be influential buying also of the Paciflcs Grangers and South westerns, but 1t consisted in the acceptance of of ferings rather than of active bidding for stocks and not much resistance was of- fereA to the late reaction. The banks show no evidence of a desire to foster re- newed speculation and are asking rather higher rates for time money. Cali loan rates. receded. but without resulting in any actual pressure of money to loan. Sterling exchange was also easier this morning. although it stiffened again be- fore the close. Favorable progress was reported in the London Stock Exchange settlement, the support accorded the United States Steel stocks seeming to re- assure sentiment there. The discount rate at Berlin was easier and the situation there was reported to be sensibly amelio- rated. New York exchange at Chicago rose again to 25c premium from 5c pre- mtum yesterday. The sub-treasury is contributing to the money market and that institutions debit at the clearing house today ran up to $2.6o0, s35 due to heavy pension payments and to the pay ment of check for Kiondike gold de- posted on the Pacific Coast The realiza- ton thus variously indicated of require ments upon the New York money market was the important factor in the firmer and quieter stock market today The headlong liquidation of last week and yesterday morning was thus shown to be unnecessary. There is no disposition, however. to encroach upon the money market supplies. which. 1t is believed, will be certainly needed at an early period in the crop movement Among usually inactive stocks wide advances worthy of notice were in Chicago and Eastern Iili- nois, S&; Texas and Pacific Land Trust 8; General Electric. (afterward lost); La clede Gas. 5: Des Moines and Fort Dodge, A, and North American, 3.
 The railroad bond market was quiet and irregular within a narrow range. Total sales (par value), s1, ,435. .0O0 United States 3s. old 4s and the 5s advanced N and the new As declined < per cent. on the last call.
