ing into the house and carrying them | to safety. Two of the children were 1 in cradles and none would have been ! able to get out alone.
 Had the children, who are all for eigners, remained in the house longer they would have been victims of suf- location. Shortly before o'clock the fire broke out in the building which was a combination barn and gara ge. It was noticed by someone in Shur- berg's office who telephoned to cen- tral fire headquarters and Deputy Chief Noble and Engine Company No. l went to the scene.
 By this time the fire was burning lively An alarm was immediately turned in from Box 412 at the corner of Seymour and Elm streets and En- zine companies No. 2. and rushed to the scene. Ip the middle of the barn was about a ton of baled hay i and in adjoining sections were five horses and several wagons and auto mobiles
 As the building faced the railroad tracks on the south. it was almost impossible to get the hose around to that section. Fighting the blaze from the Franklin street side the
 
 through the yard and into the barn. The tircmcn had to cut away a small building in which the fire is believed to have started in order to get at the barn proper. The flames kept away from the automobile section of the barn. The only damage in that sec ! tion was the blowing up of an auto mobile tank, probably caused by the intense heat. Water was poured on the roofs of nearby houses. keeping the flames away from them.
 The four children who were saved by Deputy Chief Noble, were in a ! house located only ten feet away from the barn: When Noble and his as- sistants arrived on the scene the smoke was curling against the win dows and the flames blowing towards the house. Rushing into the house to warn the occupants to get out, he found the four small children. He picked them tip and rushed through the smoke and flames, bringing them safely into the yard.
 Believing that the house was ! doomed, one tenant piled his furniture , in his front yard. Shurberg was .un- able to estimate the damage or how much was covered by insurance last evening.
 One of the neighbors stated that a bonfire was built near the buildings about 5:30 yesterday afternoon. In ! calling the fire department by tele- phone, poor judgment was used. If bell alarm had been sounded four companies would have responded at once and the blaze would have not ..;ired such a headway.

crime, DiVanzo became reconciled to his fate, and to his spiritual confessor stated at 10 o'clock that he was re- signed and was ready to meet his Maker.
 At no time since the conviction of the men has there been any change in their story of the crime being committed to avenge the death of Di- Vanzo's uncle in Italy, 20 years ago. for which Simonelli was held respon- sible. DiVanzo placed some blame on New York relative for prompting him to commit the crime, and the part taken by Dugone was due to their friendship for each other. Dur ing the final days in the prison, rel atives of DiVanzo visited him.
 Dugonc Expected Reprieve.
 With Dugone, however, 1t was diff ferent. The accused possessed of seemingly steel nerves, held out hope until the final minutes of the last day that the governor would reprieve him and life Imprisonment would be his toll for his part in the staying. In his talks with his spiritual ad- visors, Dugone conversed at length re- garding the right of the state to claim the forfeiture of a mans life for murder In all his talks, he spoke of the law of his native land, which inn prisons a man for a certain period, life at the most. Just before leaving for the death chamber, Dugone plead ed with Father Bonforti, to do all in his power to have capital punishment abolished. His only comment was Do this Father. My life doesn't count"
 Friends of DiVanzo and Dugone appealed to Governor Holcomb last night for a postponment of the hang ing on the ground that DiVanzo's uncle in New York was the real cul- prit having instigated Simonelli':s murder. Prosecuting Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn objected to the stay of execution. and Governor Holcomb re- fused to permit the postponement.

T. A. DALY'S LECTURE.
POct-HumOrist Speaks Before Large
 Audience at Grammar School

T. A. Daily of Philadelphia, poet, lecturer and philosopher, delivered a lecture last evening at Grammar school hall under the auspices of St. Mary's Sodality before large audi ence which showed it's appreciation of his subtle Celtic wit.
 MT. Daily is known the nation over as the writer Of Irish and Italian dia- lect verse and the greater part of his lecture was composed of recitations of these short poems. which reveal so truly his understanding of human na- ture. He frequently interjected ex- temporaneous witticisms, which pro- voked unbounded mirth. If it is true that the man who can make people laugh is an asset to the earth, Mr. Daly can be said to have won his place in the sun.
