 Cash and Husband.
 BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 31.-A home for life, a trip to Ireland to visit her mother, whom she had not seen for twelve years, and good sized present in cash is the reward which has fallen to Margaret Sullivan of 13 Tyler street, who saved the life of Philip Allen, the Hix-year-old child of Henry Allen, a publisher of New York.
 Miss Sullivan was coming out of newspaper office in Washington street, where she had been to insert an ad- vertisement for work, when she saw the child fall before the feet of a cab horse She ran into the street and made dive for the child, being in- jured herself by kick from the horse.
 "He is the sweetest thing ever saw" said Miss Sullivan, in referring to the child. ''I love the little fellow He has the prettiest golden curls you ever saw. I do not wonder his moth CT was frantic when she saw him ly- ing on the ground with the horse rear Ing above him. I did not do any more than any one else would have done under the circumstances, and I certainly am not heroine. It was my duty to save the little boy. Most any one would have done the same thing
 '"The boys mother offered me hel watch and diamond ring, but I would not take them for doing such an in significant act. All I want is a posi- tion where I can earn my living, but 1t looks now as if would not have to do much more work although I prefer work to the life of lady''
 So impressed was a MT. Leahy of East Boston with the woman's bravery in saving the childs life that he gave Miss Sullivan his card and offered to marry her. He was an early caller at 13 Tyler street to press his suit, but Miss Sullivan says she is not in the matrimonial market and will not mar " MT Leahy.

should impose upon them only fines
equal to the amounts they had been
paid by Salisbury for their part in the
deal.
EX-Ald. James McCool and Clark n.
Slocum paid their fines of 5000 each
and were released. EX-Ald. Ghysels,

sell and ex-City Clerk LamOreux not
being prepared to pay, they were al
lowed an extension of one week in
which to raise the money. Ghysels
and Blssell must each pay $500 and
Lamoreaux $1,000. those being the
amounts they pleaded guilty to having
accepted from Salisbury.
