REWARDS FUR HEROES
Carnegie Commission Distributes
 Medals and Money.
BRAVERY AT NIAGARA NOTED
Two Bremen Who Snatched Deranged Man From cataract's Grasp Get Cash to Lift Mortgages From Homes--Aid For Courageous Clerks Widow.

Pittsburg, May 21.-The Carnegie be- TO fund commission announced awards in thirty more cases of heroism. Med als or money. in most cases both, are freely scattered from Missouri to New York city.
 Perhaps the most interesting case is that of two Niagara Falls firemen, Thomas Conroy and J. H. Batts, who are each awarded a silver medal and $1 900 to liquidate mortgages on their property. The case in which the two firemen figured is considered by the commission as one of the best that has yet come under its observation.
 According to the report made by the hero commission, Conroy and Batts or the night of June 5, 1906, saved man from drowning while he was within fifteen feet of the brink of Niagara falls. The man was Amos Schweitzer, a Canadian, who had become deranged through trouble and shortly after mid night threw himself into the water about 500 yards above the falls at Prospect point. He floated down the river to almost the brink of the falls, where the water was shallow and run ming fourteen feet second, and there he stuck, thirty feet from shore. The fire department of Niagara Falls was called out, and Conroy and Butts, who were members of the department, showed such bravery in the work of rescue that their case was dilated on to the extent of 1000 word report by the commission.
 Help For Brave Clerks Widow.
 Mrs. Mary A. Eaton of New York and her family of five children have been taken care of by the commission. She is the widow of William H. Eaton, a postoffice clerk of New York city, who on Sept. 21, 1907, lost his life sav- ing Johnnie Shook, aged twelve, and George c. Maloney, aged eleven years, from drowning in the East river.
 The commission took much account of the fact that Eaton, who was light and very sickly man, had just returned to work after an attack of rheumatism, and his jumping into the water to save the two boys, each or whom was almost as heavy as him. self, was considered heroic. He was drowned. but both the boys were saved. Mrs. Eaton is given silver medal and $25 month for life or un- til she remarries and is allowed So additional for each of her five children until they reach the age of sixteen years --F~
 To Thomas Mullins of Jersey City IS awarded bronze medal for saving the life of Harry B. Teetsel of New York city, deputy jail warden, from drowning at the Cortlandt street ferry slip on Sept. 20, 1906. The rescue is said to have been attended with great est danger. as Teetsel was temporari- ly deranged from a debauch and had jumped from the boat Newark, trying to commit suicide, shouting that he ..wanted to go to mother" his mother having died a short time before.

Settled by ErecutiUe Committee.

The executive committee OF the Republican staic
Committee yesterday settled the question OF ,he
representation of the various counties In the 4oth
senat. District It decided that Cayuga County
should have twelve votes in the Senate convention
and that Seneca and Cortland counties should have

the case for the other counties. The decision OF
the committee may mean deadlock in the con-

the other counties will be opposed to his renomina-
