tenement HOUSE BURNS
Mrs. Knowles Carried Out
Senseless, the Crowd Cheer
Starts From a Gas Radi-
ator.

An overheated gas radiator caused a
destructive fire at No. 113 Manning ave-
nue. this morning which almost resulted
in the death of two women and caused
several thousand dollars damage.
The house is three-story frame tene-
ment, known as double decker" and
was occupied by six families, including
the owner, Patrick McGrath, in whose
apartment on the first floor the fire
originated.
Shortly before half-past eleven a citi-
zen passing by saw smoke coming from
window and, running to fire box No.
GAL, at Florence street and Fairmount
avenue, turned in an alarm. The de-
partment arrived promptly, but the
flames had made considerable headway,
the halls being choked with dense black
smoke. School was in session and many
of the tenants children were not at
home.
WOMEN CRY HELP.
The women, thoroughly frightened,
leaned from windows in their apart
ments, some with babes in their arms,
and screamed for help, while heavy col
umns of dense black smoke rolled out,
enveloping their figures. The street was
filed with terror stricken people, who
thought the tenants were doomed to a
horrible death.
The police reserves from the Fourth
Precinct station house, and the first
five companies arrived simultaneously.
Together they entered the house and led
out the frightened tenants. One woman,
on sick bed, carried from the building
by fireman and policeman, was taken
to the home Of friend nearby.
The entire interior of the building by
this time was in flames. Some one in
the crowd on the opposite sidewalk asked
for Mr.. Knowles, tenant, and she was
then for the first time missed Batta-
lion Fire Chief Hague and Patrolman
Kelly went into the house and found her
unconscious at the head of the stairs
on the second floor.
BRAVE RESCUE.
The smoke in the hall was so sitting
that the two brave rescuers decided to
take her out of the window.
Mrs. Knowles. who is very heavy, was
carried to front room, an extension
ladder was quickly placed against it, and
she was carried to the street by the fire
chief and the police officer. Both re-
ceived rousing cheers from the crowd
The fire was under control after an
hours hard fight, but the last company
did not leave the house until almost one
o'clock this afternoon.

GAMING SMALL BOYS.
Mayor Pagan Doesn't Want Thorn
Chased Out Of Public Parks.

Complaint was made to Mayor Pagan
yesterday that the keeper of the city
parks at the corner of Washington and
Grand streets has a bad habit of chasing
small boys out of the public grounds with
heavy cane. His Honor called the at
tention of Clerk Bouton, of the Street
and Water Board, to the alleged strenu-
Gus efforts of the keeper to make the
small boys behave themselves. Mr..
Bouton said he would investigate.
The Mayor says the parks are for the
children as well as grown folks, and he
believes that boys should not be caned as
long as they behave themselves.

RUM VS.. CRAZE.
Officer Nolan, who arrested Grady,
and Chief of Police Murphy testified that
the prisoner appeared to be under the in
fuence of liquor.
DIR. John w. Dougherty testified this
morning that Gradys general appearance
indicated an abnormal mind. His short,
broad, squatty face, he said, indicated a
person insane or disposed to insanity.
The doctor thought that the prisoner was
at present and has been for some time
ON the verge of insanity.
DR.. John D. McGill testified for the
State that he had examined Grady in the
Jail and had watched him during the
progress of the trial. Nothing that he
could find indicated disordered mind.

BRAIN.FooD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad ha
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
pelled the silly notion that one kind
OF food Is needed for BRAIN. another
for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not not
nourish n particular part Of the body
but II viii sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may
be its nutfiment Is destroyed by in
digestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses OF Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine Of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids diges-
tion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes
you feel bouyant and vigorous. You

Another Jail Delivery.

For the second time within the last
three months, the alarm was raised
about dark last Tuesday evening that
the prisoners in the Colfax Jail had
escaped. Investigation developed
the fact that, taking advantage Of
the few minutes freedom of the Jail
just prior to being locked up in the
cells for the night, 4. j. Tut, Jesse
Capps, W. +. Leonard and Pat Grand
staff had broken the lock on the inner
basket door of the Jail and made a
break for liberty. The outer steel
door had been left open for ventila-
ton on account of the great heat.
Scouts were sent in all directions, and
in few minutes Grandstaff was cap
tured while attempting to board the
down Valley train, which came along
about that time. The Others got
away in the dark, and have not since
been heard from.
