 Were Badly Burned

One of the Policemen Saved Woman
 and Then uccumbed-Crazed by
 His Burns He Had to Be Placed in a
 Straight Jacket-He May Not Live
 Two Other Policemen Will Be Dis
 figured for Life s% New York, May 26-Prompt and heroic work by three policemen, one of whom was so badly burned that he is crazed by the pain, saved the lives of several women and children, who had been caught in a burning building in Fulton street, Brooklyn, at an early hour to-day. When the police and fire- men reached the scene, women and children were at the windows of the building calling for help. Policeman James E. Haven entered the building and on the top floor found Mrs How ard Murray unconscious. He carried her to window and then succumbed, having been burned about the face and hands. The pain from the burns craz- ed him and he had to be placed in a straight jacket at the hospital. In the meantime policemen and firemen had rescued the other women and children, who were asleep when the fire broke out.
 At the hospital it was said Haven could not live. Policemen McAuley and Cook were also seriously burned and will probably be disfigured for life.

RATSEY SAILS ON THE RELIANCE.

A triangular course was decided up- on with legs of five miles each. The course was fifteen mikes, to be sailed over twice. The Reliance crossed the starting line first at 12:15:O3, Columbia 12:15:0S, Constitution 12:15:2S. The wind was blowing twelve knots an hour.
 On the first leg the Reliance beat the Constitution less than one half minute. The boats had a strong wind all the way and the showing of the new boat was something of a disappointment The Reliance turned the second mark at :14;07, the Constitution at 1:15:01, and che Columbia one and one-half miles astern. The Columbia turned the second mark at 1:23:5S. As the boats ran down to the second. mark the wind shifted a little to the east ward and dropped a trifle. This slack ness affected the Columbia first and she dropped behind very fast. On the way from the second mark the Reli- ance seemed to gain and turned the home stake at 1:44:2S, the Constitution following at 1:47:30.
 Both boats were badly handicapped Dy two long UOWSs one OI WHICH cdIIleu away the home stake and hindered both boats from turning. The Colum- bia was still away astern.
 On the run to the first mark for the second trip over the course the Consti- tuition gained twenty seconds on the Reliance, due in some degree to getting plenty of breezes. The boats turned the mark as follows: Reliance 2:12:35, Constitution 2:15:2O, with the Colum bfa still away astern.

 Soldiers During the War.


 Soldiers During the War. New York, May 26.-Dr Octavius A. White, a famous yellow fever expert, Is dead at his home in this city, in the 18th year of his age.
 While a surgeon in the confederate army Dr White was sent into the union lines at Goldsborough, N. O., to treat northern soldiers afflicted with yellow fever, and in the confederate prison at Florence, s. O., he won the love of many union men by his kindness dur ing a similar pestilence.
 He was born in Charleston, S. O., on February 8, 1926, and was graduated by the College of Charleston in 1S46, and by the South Carolina Medical col 1ege two years later. He began and continued his practice with success un- til the opening of the civil war, when he received the commission of surgeon in the confederate army. At the close of the war he moved to New York, where he lived until his death. Dr White made several important medical inventions.

The Story About Central Labor
 Union Printed This Morning
PRESS COMMITTEES DENIAL

There Are No Dissensions in the Ranks
 of Labor-Answer Made to a Paper
 Which Has Harrassed and Embar-
 rassed Representatives of Labor
 Public and Friends of Labor Warned
 Aagainst Exaggerated Stories.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-The day after the local trolley strike was inaugurated the Wa terbury Republican in it's editorial col umns loudly extolled the benefits of ar bitration when wisely applied to such conditions and even went so far as to name a list of citizens from which to select the arbitrators. And whilst one party to the controversy has been con- stantly appealing for such a tribunal, the other party to the contest has thus far repudiated the idea. The Repub- lican. that clamored for arbitration in the beginning, has turned about face, and not content with supporting cor porate interests has constantly ma ligned and misrepresented those who cling to the principle the Republican so ably championed for one lone day.
 So constantly and consistently has this paper harrassed and embarrassed the representatives of labor during the unfortunate controversy it was thought best to treat it's utterances with con- tempt, as too much time would be used in contradicting its falsehoods. The time has arrived, however, when to remain silent would be criminal, as such silence would impliedly admit the truthfulness of some of the assertions found in its columns.
 The article in this mornings issue ycleped report of the doings at last nights meeting of the Central Labor union was admittedly gathered in frag- mentary form and was undoubtedly put in shape in conformity with the positive anti-labor attitude of the pa per during the past four months.
 The Central Labor union would warn the public against such gross and ex- aggerated accounts of labor bodies "Dissension' was not rampant in the Central body" neither were the bar tenders or butchers jumped on to beat the band" On the contrary 1t is confidently expected that from last nights meeting will spring renewed activity in behalf of those battling against great odds, and that the plans llaid will mark an epoch in this memor. able event. The aspersiOn cast upon the Carpenters union in the al legged report is wholly unjust. No un- ion was more prompt in manfully talk ing up the burden and sustaining il than the carpenters and joiners until their own strike was inaugurated and

THE WOMANS CLUB OF BlSBEE
 CONCLUDES ITS YEARS WORK

the success of club functions.
 I would like to see a livelier inter est in the Club House. Have you ever thought who picks up the pa pers which you have earelessly dropped? Has it occurred to you that many services are done here which were not done by the custodi- an? There are those in the club who have swept and dusted, arranged chairs, washed dishes and carried things from home for the meetings. They have seen that the windows were closed, the rug brought in, the door locked, and a thousand other little things. not because they were appointed to do them, for in many cases they were not but because they feel a live interest in the House. believe that this interest should be shared by all. alike. Many hands make light work and now that we have our building let us keep it up as nothing else in Bisbee is kept up
 And now in retiring from the chair I thank the club collectively and in- dividually for it's hearty cooperation and for the forbearance which has been exercised in cases of mistakes. spirit is a great help and greatly as- sists in the progress and welfare of the club. If there have been times when it has been unjust I do not wish to recall them and bespeak for my successor always a lienient spirit, and charitable interpretation of her efforts in your behalf.
 In closing I will say that I am am proud to have pcrn yous I'rCsi- dent, and to have been permitted to be the first to preside in the new 1 building.
