Flights of Stairs With Them.

NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-At the risk of
her life Mrs. John Adler crawled on her
hands and knees through Railways filed

sleeping room and rescued her two boys
Ernest. aged four. and Walter. six-from
death in a fire which completely Quilted
her home at No. 80 Oak Street, Mount
Vernon. late Thursday night.
The mother found her children over
come by smoke and flames burning their
bedclothes.
Mrs. Adler was awakened by the crack
ling of flames. Mr.. Adler tried to reach
the room occupied by the boys, but was
driven back by the smoke. and ran out
to give the alarm.
Mrs. Adler made two attempts to reach
her sons. The second time she managed
to crawl into the room, and found Ernest
lying on the floor unconscious, while
Walter lay en- the bed.
Undaunted by the flames which singed
her hair and almost stihed her. she
wrapped blankets around the lads and,
placing one under each arm, groDed her
way down the front stairway and fin
ally reached the lower floor, where she
fell into the arms of Mrs. J. F. keenan,,
a neighbor.
The mother and her sons were attended
by DR.. W II. Purdy, president of the
board of health. He worked for more
than an hour over the boys. He said

EGGS ARE STILL A LUXURY.
Prices somewhat Lower, but S,iI!
Above the Normal.

The hens of the East have formed an
egg trust is the way in which one of the
local commission merchants accounts for
the prevailing prices in that commodity
Fer over two weeks past eggs have
brought anywhere from - to "a cents q
dozen. and unless the weather mOderates
in the near future there seems to be no
relief in sight.
The condition of the market is a mys-
terry TO the merchants. They cannot az
count for the high prices any more than
the supply. although tho former is not
very heavy. The usual price for eggs at
this time Of year is about IS to % cents
a dozen. and under ordinary condi~ ms
this latter price should not be exceeded.
kilograms have been received during
the past week from Baltimore, Philadel
phia. and New York asking that eggs be
sent from here to relieve the stringency.
This fact shows that the scarcity Of eggs
is universal throughout the East, from
Norfolk to New York.
As result of the high prices the cor:-
mission merchants report that numbers
OF restaurants have ceased to purchase
eggs. and that private buyers are not taxi
ing their usual quantities. The prevail
ing price yesterday was "a cents a dozen.
This is the lowest they have brought in
some days. yesterday the price was
30 cents, and week ago twelve eggs
commanded ~ cents.

peared TO him that the flight had been

STREET CLEANING
ACCELERATED BY RAIN
Army of 900 Had Been Called
for to Remove Snow.
Brisk Work Planned for To-day. to
Coming: of the Prince Tomorrow.

The Department CT Street Cleaning
five men clearing the cutters of ice and
snow in order that the water everywhere
choked up by tons of slush might be
permitted to flow and make walking less
resemble the wading which the condi-
tons or the morning made necessary. IL
had been intended to put on 4 much
larger force, but owing TO the fact that
it was a legal hoiidaly only the number
OF men mentioned could be engaged.
Twelve Hours to Remove Snow.
Under the law it becomes the duty of
the Commissioners of the District to clear
the cutters and the crossings of SHOW and
slush within twelve hours after the fall
OF snow 1t was on this basis that the
recent extra appropriation OF 50. 600 was
made for the purpose, and according to
the ruling of the District Auditor no part
OF the money can be used for carting away
the snow 1t must be left on the sides OF
the roadways TO melt or to be removed
by operations of nature.
Several Gangs Organized.
Several gangs were organized and efforts
directed first to clear the cross walks
around the deDo,s. along Pennsylvania
Avenue and the principal downtown seq
ton. The Street Cleaning Department
was ordered by Commissioner Ross to
bend every energy to the clearing of
Pennsylvania Avenue and the spaces
about the White House and State De-
partment. in anticipation of the visit of
Prince Henry. Commissioner Ross also
called attention TO the necessity for
clearing away the slush around the Ger
man Legation and the Willard Hotel,
which will be centres of activity during
the stay of the prince in the city.
Ordered 800 Men Put to Work.
Mr.. Ross went 70 the District Building
at II o'clock and gave orders to the
Street Cleaning Department to advertise
for and hire 500 men to work at the snow
today. AS an inducement he directed that
they be offered $3.50 day for their labor
MIR. Ross stated that each man should
bring q shovel and report at the District
Building at 7:3O O'Clock. or should attach
himself 10 one of the gangs on the street
snow Disappearing Fast.
Yesterdays rain, however, made short
work of the snow heaps. and it was
thought that, barring another freeze. the
streets could be put in presentable shape
with comparatively little manual labor
All efforts will be directed to accom-
plishing the best possible results by to-
night, when it is hoped to have every
thing ship-shape.
Mr.. Warner Stutler. the Superintendent
of Street Cleaning. being quarantined at
his home, on New Jersey Avenue on ac-
count of the case OF smallpox which de-
yelcped there a few days ago, the opera
tions of the department are in the hands
of Mr.. Mercer. chief inspector of the de-
partment. He stated Yesterday that all
desiring work on the streets would be
employed today. S=EEs -
