SWINGS 70 FEET
IN AIR AND SAVES
SEVEN FROM DEATH
Fireman Hangs from Roof by
Rope and Prevents Family
Jumping to Street.

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-Lowering
himself over the cornice of a f1ve-story
tenement house, and dangling 70 feet
above the sidewalk, Frank Semple, a
fireman, early today, by desperate ef-
forts, prevented David Lynch, his wife
and five children from leaping from the
window to C the flames hat were
creeping up behind them.
All through the night the fire had
smouldered in the building, and when
1t finally burst into flames at dawn.
the stairways were blazing from cellar
to roof, and many families were unable
to reach the street.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene, Lynch and his family were about
to leap to the street. Semple seized a
rope and reached the roof through the
adjoining tenement.
Fastening the rope to a chimney he
lowered himself Just in time to keer
the panic-stricken family from leaping
to their death. Later they were taken
in safety from the burning building By
means of ladders. The other tenants
many of whom were sleeping and were
awakened by the police throwing stones
through the windows, were all rescued
without injury, but the building was
badly damaged.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The worst fog
which his section has experienced in
twenty-five years, and which has pre-
vailed since Monday, was as bad as
ever today. Traffic on land and water
is practically paralyzed. Many ocean
liners are outside of the Hook, unable
to get into the harbor, because Of the
fog, and there Is a constantly increas-
ing feet OF ships in the bay, which have
been unable to leave. Many sound
steamers are tied up at their piers, re-
fusing to take chances in the fog.
New Jersey commuters have been the
worst sufferers in the fog, ferryboats
being unable to maintain anything like
schedule time and many of the boats
being out of commission because of the
danger TO navigation. The Jersey City
tunnels have been damned to suffoca-
ton with commuters who nave forsaken
the ferries.
Liners Fos-Bound.
1t was estimated today that fully
5000 people were on board the steam
ships which are anchored inside and
outside of the Hook, unable to make
or leave port. Among the steamships
which are thus blanketed in the fog
are the Adriatic, iceland, Nieuw Am
sterdam, Grosser Kurfurst, George,
Massachusetts,, Carolina, vandalia, City
of Atlanta, Sarnia, Princess Irene and
Orinoco.
The congestion of freight-earrying
trucks in the streets leading to the
steamship and railroad piers has never
been equaled. West street was tangled
and blocked with horses and vehicles
all Of last night, many of the truckmen
having to remain with their trucks all
night because they could not get out of
the tangle.
Railroad tugs were unable to get
floats with empty freight cars to the
New York piers to be loaded, and thou
sands of wagon loaded with freight
to be shipped had to wait for many
hours. Those that were nearest the
piers could not get away because others
lad hen1rned them in.
All over New Eneland.
It is not believed that the steamship
Kronprinzessin Cecilie. which went
down the bay during a lift In the fog
Yesterday afternoon, got away, and
that she is still detained down the bay.
The President Lincoln. which should
have sailed yesterday, was still at her
dock In Hoboken today. None Of the
coastwise steamships dared leave their
docks. When the fog does lift there
will be an unprecedented rush of ves-
sells In and out of the harbor.
Reports from Philadelphia and Bos-
ton say that the heavy fogs there have
greatly interfered with land and water
traffic. Twenty-three steamers and
twenty sailing vessels are fog-bound- In
the Delaware river between Philadel-
phia and Reedy Island.
