To Get Help.

Troy, n. Y, Jan. 16.-Merchants and
citizens of the town plan a substantial
remembrance in gold for Miss Beth
Nealon, the heroine in the big fire of
Jan. 3, when the entire business sec
ton of Granville, a nearby town, was
wiped out by fire with loss of $780,
600.
Miss Nealon is the night operator
in the telephone exchange. She called
up the chief of the fire department and
an alarm was sent in The firemen
were unable to check the progress OF
the flames and word was telephoned
to adjoining towns for help. Although
the flames were within 200 feet of the
building in which the exchange was
located, Miss Nealon stuck to her post
and continued to send appeals for as
sistance. 1t was nearly three hours
before the firemen from nearby towns
arrived.
Granville is situated on the banks ol
the Hudson River and has a popula'
tion of about 4,5O0 Its chief industry
is slate mining, and it is a popular
summer resort.
