way or manner , or for any other purpose'
explain or qualify the word "charged" used
above and ccm Inserted for the purpose of
nepallvInK the construction sought to bo
inc-'l upon the language.
Of course , the above discussion has ijono
on the presumption that the money con
verted was public money. This is denied by
the defendant. In this matter too court Is
of the opinion that the tloatrlno of estopp.il
should or ilnarlly havu the same application
In criminal law that It has In civil law and
that In this cJsc the dffondant should bo
estopped to deny that the money received
was i ho money of the state. Kor years In-
Btiranco cotr.pnnles have paid i hcse fees ui
tae auditor. In' this coao they have. It
would be lnen.itltabl < ! upon the part of the
Btato after taey had received their certlll-
cates to deny them thc > Ir privileges p.ild for ,
nnd on ' .ho other hand the utatc Is entitled to
the consideration coming to It. llesldes this ,
there Is a law , -whether constitutional or not ,
dlrectlnR the payment to the auditor. Ho
was treated with as auditor and bavins re
ceived J .c money under and by virtue of
the premises , It dees not llo In his mouth for
the Ilrot time to UIKO that the l.i'.v ' was tin-
constitutional. The law nnd the olllco which
Is good enough to cnablo him to collect the
money Is good enough to make It his du.y
to account for It to the state.
Ab'.o ten-J elaborate arguments have been
inado to showihat the moneys collected by
line auditor were collected by virtue of his
oincc , and thai' therefore ho was c'lartjcd In
every sense of the term with the duty of ac
counting for It. Holding as I do on the
above , question , It Is not necessary for me to
consider the case In this particular.
In addition I wish to s.iy that the court
believe * that this1 matter was bc-foro him aM
an original eiuesilon an 1 hopns that ho has
nntMjcen Inllueneed In his decision by the
argument that the > rr will be no hardship em
the accused because he > would be able to FC-
cure ball upon < ni'pin3lon of senience pend
ing D'ppellnto ' prreeedlnes , or that the state
would lese Its right to prosecute further It
the motion herein should be sustained. I
hope I have prop ? r reverence for the prece
dent and that 1 may ne > vr-r as a Judge elo
anything tending toward merely construc
tive crime , I am aware that the public Is
not as ready to sustain a court In preserving
to an accused person 1'ils legal rights as
formerly wi' the case. IJut In this case
there was probably room for criticism on
both sides. Plevis merely technical In their
nm urc have too ofte'ii been made with sue.

LINCOLN , Nov. 29. ( Special. ) When ths
legislature met Inst winter the state was
threatened with a datwago suit by Mrs , Mary
Nowmcyer of Hastings , bccauso of the sewer
Jrom the asylum , which emptied out In a
little draw on her farm. A committee was
sent there to Investigate , and on Its return
reported that there was no other direction
In which the sewage could bo sent mid that
the best way for the state to avoid a damage
suit was to buy the farm. The committee
had figured on the value of the place and
recommended that the price paid be $37.150
an acre. The report was adopted nnd nn
ngreomcnt having been reached with the
owner of the farm a special appropriation
of $0,000 was made for the purpose of buy
ing the farm. Since then nothing has been
done about the matter , and Mrs. Nowmcyer
was becoming very anxious to cither have
the deal closiel up or go ahead with her
damage suit. Today the Board of Public-
Lands and Buildings held a meeting and
rr.ttfled the contract , whereby the state gets
the farm for $3,437.GO , fifteen ncres btlng
figured out because of the fact that two rail
roads cross the place.
REFUSES THE CHARTER.
The state auditor today refused the appli
cation of W. M. Qulwlts and others for thn
chartering of o. now fraternal Insurance com
pany to bo known as the "Royal Oaks. "
The reasons given for the refusal are that the
constitution of the new order does not pro
vide for a representative form of govern
ment and would permit of some of tbo offi
cers holding olllco perpetually. For Instance ,
a council of six Is provided for , and a pre
siding officer known ns the chancellor. The
chancellor could bo removed from ofllco only
by vote of flvo-slxths ot the council , three
members of which are appointed by him
self. In the organization of this fraternal
company the promoters seem to have had a
stormy time from the beginning. Associated
with Mr. Gufwlts In the scheme was Dr. S.
D. Mercer , and on account of some differ
ence between them Dr. Mercer drew out and
announced that ho would organize a company
of his own. A short time ago ho presented
papers to the auditor ; and asked for'a ' char
ter for his now company , also known , as
the "Royal Oaks , " but was refused because
of the fact that his petition did not contain
the number of names required by law. In
regard to the defects In the constitution pre
sented by Mr. Gulwlts , the auditor says
that there are n number of other companies
In the state against which practically the
same complaint could bo made and that they
will bo called upon to make the necessary
chanscs.

Hit- \Vln.l.-i.
When John II. Inman died wo supposed
ho left an estate of about ? T,000,000. For
years ho had been classed among the very
rich men of this city , says a writer In the
Now York Press. I hear now , .by way of
Atlanta , that he left practically nothing ;
that his fortune was diminished enormously
lu elfsastrous speculation In the two years
Immediately preceding his death. Sam In
man , the head of the 'big ' cotton house in
Atlanta , complalncel two years ago that he
done all for John that ho could alford to do ;
that ho had sent him $200,000 , and didn't
Intend to put up any : nore. The Inrnana
have handled as many as COO.OOO bales of
cotton annually.
It Is the ? talk In Atlanta that Inman com
mitted suicide. People no longer speak of
It In whispers , but openly. He was the most
omnivorous of men and thought he had the
stomach of an ostrich. Lilto Brignoll. he
could rat a dozen chops at a sitting and re
peat the performance within an hour. Not
withstanding his prodigious capacity for
food , ho never waa obliged to wear an ab
dominal supporter. His physlejue elld not
run toward embonpoint. Hevas In no sen/50
a .bon-vlvunt ; simply a gastronome an Apl-
clus. If required to answer the old ques
tion. "Do you live to eat or eat to live ? " ho
would have said. "I live to cat. " He Uxe < ]
his stomach to the utmost , destroyed the
mechanism and died at the early ago of 52.
Are the great fortunes of our plutocrats
dwindling ? Are wo not giving thorn too high
a rating ? Wo thought Ogden Goelet worth
atthe very leant $100.000,000. The most con
servative incis placed his fortune
at ? 50,000 -
000 ; yet It dwindled to less than $10,000.000.
The $30,000,000 of "Splto-houso" Richardson
dropped $500,000 as scon as It struck the
court house. George M. Pullman was sup
posed to be worth every cent of $50,000,000.
Immediately after his death $25 000 000 was
nnnnnn"1"0' but tllc Iatcst reports name $7-
000,000 as the value of the estate. How la

A now star of the first magnitude is now
BCCII In the polltlcil skies ot China. So vast
has his power become , so perfect his net
work of commanding Influence In court and
commercial circles , tlmt hohas already cast
the great LI Hung-Chang Into partial ccllpao.
This formidable luminary la doubly Intoreat-
ln , says a writer In Harper's Weekly. Not
only la hla wonderful career full of peculiar
and dramatic features , that never could be
duplicated outsldo of China , but ho stands
today at the very forefront ot China's march
to the goal ot modem enterprise nnd devel
opment.
This remarkable leader Is Shcng Ta-Jcn ,
who la bettor known In his own land as
Sheng Taotol , because for many years ho
held the position of Taotol , or governor ot
customa at the great city ot Tlcn-atln. Curi
ously enough , too , the name of Shcng has
been closely linked during his whole career
with the name of LI Hung-Chang , whom ho
now menaces with his prestige. During the
Tal-ping rebellion , when LI Hung-Chang
[ i was go vet nor of Soo-chow , and commanded
, Its military forces , ho was materially aided
! i In a financial way by a wealthy banker of
j that city named Shcng. Some time later ,
I when LI was advanced to the powerful post
i of Satrap of Tltui-tsln , and became grand
| secretary and premier of the empire , ho
I ' gratefully remembered his Soo-chow benefac
I tor , nnd took the banker's eon , now knowu
j an Shcng Ta-Jcn , imdor his protecting wing.
! ' The young man was eniick , competent , am
bitious , not hca ' | | y handicapped with scru
ples , and rose rapidly through the lower
, grades of public llfo until , twelvn years ago ,
ho captured the- lucrative post of Tnotol ot
the province of Chec-foo. All these positions
In China go to the highest bidder , und It Is
, . generally understood that Ledy LI In this
I emergency befriended Shcng by n handsome
j , loan , which ho soon repaid. No oooner was
! i ho safely Intrenched as Tnotol than ho began
i to extend his power at a rapid gait. Ho
sent his deputies forth to relieve dlatress
during a famine , paying little attentlou to
the boundaries of his own section In Ills
practical benevolence. He bettered the sani
tary 'conditions by clearing out streams that
paralleled the Yellow river , nud pursued
such a general crusade on now lines that
rivals looked upon him with alarm and
hatred , the more so because the poworiul LI
Hung-Chang was known to be his backer.
undismayed by enemies , the young reformer
extended his lines of power In commercial
directions. Ho boughi a silk factory , rose to
the head of the Imperial Tocgrapli company ,
next to LI himself , and the death of Tong
King-Sing placed him in the management
of that influential leaver the China Merchants'
Steamship company ! Then ho rose to the
s'.lll richer postVpf 'euafqnia ' Taotol In Tien
tsin , grow rapIJlyj as tlfe favored protege of
the great chancellor , and came Into close re
lations with the 'foreign affairs of the em
pire. Foreign diplomats liked him , for Sheng
was alwajs brilliant , adroit , obliging In maa-

UNDER TEliPOIlAHY CLOUD.
It was thouslH' ' jicug had surely reached
a fatal crislsMulils career during the
calamitous war wlm 'Japan. Power drifted
temporarily from -the hands of LI Hung-
Chang , nnj his close friends and allies were
regarded as dpomexl to go down In the
crash. Hut the enemy reckoned without a
knowledge of Sheng's versatile power to
"hcJgo" and feather his nest. Despite gome *
tatner malodorouSjiimlUary speculations In
the matter of gu&s anil ammunition , whicli
the censors -traced/to / Sheng's olHce door , the
agile diplomat weathqred the storm 'in ' a
most mysterious way : His wonderful luck
remained a riddle- Until it was learned that
ho ha"d two powerful Strings to his ofllclal
bow. While KO ally of LI Hung-Chang , ho
had also worked Into the gooJ graces of Li's
formidable rival , Wlng-Tung-Ho. This august
personage was formerly tutor of the em
peror , and 'Is ' now , the mcs-t powerful Influence
at court. Wong -and Sheng were natives of
the Eame city , Sbo-chow
- , and to tnls con
venient friendship Shcng owed his political
salvation In Uioso cloudy days. Finding It
extremely profitable M "make unto himself
friends of the mammon" ot Ll'a old adversa
ries , Shcng proceeded next to carry favor
with another of L/l's long-standing rivals , the
great Viceroy Chang Chlh-Tung , to whom
all the development of central China Is
chiefly due. This granite fortress was cap
tured by Sheng's adroit methods of approach
Ho seems by Instinct to know the weak
points In every big Chinaman's armor und
alms with a keen pair of oyes.
It so happened that Chang Chlh-Tung had
a troublesome elephant on his vice regal
bands in the shape of some iron mines and a
luuimiy iimr IIUII-KUW. no wanted to un
load , and here was the seam In his armor.
The oroortune moment for Sheng to play his
cards at that game arrived while Li Huag
Chang was on his lileasuro Junket around the
globe. Ho went to .Chang and magnanimously
offered to buy the Iron elephant at a fat
sum and the only slight favor ho had to ash
by way of return was that Chang would
recommend him to the director general of
all the rallrcads of China Included In the now
schemes of development , Sheng was artistic
ally diplomatic in accepting Chang's well
known views about- railroad building , such as
exclusive Chinese shares aud no foreign money
except by way of leans. The comract was
made. With the warm aurfiort of the im
perial tutor and the powerful patronage of
the influential vlcioy , Slicog lost no time in
besieging the court nt Poking. He went , ho
saw , he conquered. Obstacles melted away
before the magic of his combination of
diplomacy nnd cash. Ho raptured the di
rector genoralsh'i. ) prize , was advanced to a
position where ho can memorialize the throne
direct , secured sanction for starting an Im-
oorlal bank and obtained 'the fullest author
ity to raise fluids for the great railroad plans ,
chiefly from Chinese.
A CIIINKSK TALLEYRAND.
Sheng Ta-Jcn therefore , now firmly In
trenched In power , In the prlmo of life , about
50 years old , -rich , keen , fiercely ambitious
and a Talleyrand .In hla methods , Is the em
bodiment of China's ( regressive policy. Ab
solutely In control ' of the empire's telegraph
and steamship ll'pcs , ho'now becomes autocrat
of Its rallrcad eh&tlny'as well. He confronts
the problem of railway construction under
conditions that ( would ' dishearten any man of
leas herculean uerve'and ; self-assurance. Ho
was obliged to 'prorfflso the emperor that he
would build tha'-jUaq-kow road with Chinese
money and Chinese-labor , orovldod the gov
ernment would dyftcipg 10,000,000 taols. In
order to understand this peculiar Chinese
puzzln it will bo necessary to first take a
brief glance at the railroad program and then
mention the unique conditions under which
She-Ill ! has thin iiiltufrln tn norfnrm.
The Ilrst railway Chins over saw was a
short ono of eighteen miles from Shanghai
to the port of Woo-Ming. It was the work of
Englishmen , wlyySQf tired of lightering tholr
cargoes to Sha ghdt over the Yang-tso bar
at an expense grfcftw than the cost of trans
portation from jIAniilnn or Now York. They
asked no chartw tiullt the road In 187C , and
ran It without eovurnment leave. It was
short-lived. A\'ffy powerful Influence In
Chlrn Is exercised -by the fung-shuy. or
spirits of the dead , and that abominable now
railroad , It W B discovered by the natives , in
terfered seriously" with the movements and
freedom ofbosti. \ worthy spirits. The
authorities were notified of this sacrilege on
the part of the English residents , and the
rails were torn up. Just what sort of com
promise was madq with the spirits of the
dead Is not known , but the spirit of modern
Ideas Is creeping Into power now , and under
a recent proclamation by the viceroy of the
Llang-klang povlnces , this old railroad be
tween Shanghai and Woo-sutvs Is to bo re
built , and the natives are solemnly enjoined
to place no obstruction In the way.
IUILHOAD SVSTBM PROJECTED.
The railways now In operation In the vast
Celestial empire are three In number , and all
short. One , seventy miles In length , runs
from Tlen-tslu to thecc-al mineral Shanghal-
huan , near the point where the great wall
dips Into the Yellow sea , nnd on lo Klrln- ;
another , about eighteen miles long , runs to
Han-kow from the only Iron mine In the
huKe domain ; while the third , now nearly
dono. will connect Poking and Tlon-tsln , n
distance ) of about 120 miles. This Is the
modest og-R from which Shrnit has under
taken to hitch a modern railroad system for
the kingdom. The plans under Immediate
consideration Involve the construction of a
road from Peking , the capital , to Han-kow ,
about SOO miles. From that polint ns a
center n line will be extended to Canton ,
some 1,500 miles , and duo east to Hang-chow
nud the sc-a , while another line Is planned ft/
run from Shanghai northwest through
Nankin to a Junction with the line south
from Peking nt Knl-fong. These finished ,
connectlcns will bo made , along the cxtre mo
southern bolt of the empire , with the
Bangkok railroad ot Slam , at Uhamo , on the
border of 'Mandalny. '
These roads will pass through rich , allu
vial country , densely populous , producing
silk , tea nnd other staples. There Is really
no limit apparent to the productive capacity
of this Immense region when labor , now
chiefly Idle , can have ready markets at com
mand and easy access to the great ports of
shipment. The transformation , when com
pleted , will mould China Into totally now In
dustrial nnd commercial forms. Side by sldct ,
toe ) , with these monster Innovations , China's
northern holt of provinces will bo awakened
'
'by the branch of the great Siberian railway
through Manchuria , under construction by
the czar. The camel routes by which tea ,
sllka , and other products of the empire now
reach Hussla , Persia , Turkey and all Interior
states will ho superseded by rail transporta
tion , offcctlng n development ot unlimited
sccpo and value.
COLOSSAL UNDERTAKING.
The railway tank upon which China Is en
tering would bo thought colosml enough fern
n country equipped with the most complete
modern appliances and alert public spirit ,
but to a man with Shcng Tn-Jen's local and
Industrial handicaps It will provo appalling ,
almost certainly impossible unless methods
and systems nro radically changed. Already
this resourceful Chinaman finds himself
floundering In a bog. It Is financial. The
money for his great designs must conio from
foreign countries , or China Itself , or both.
The government distrusts all foreigners ,
whllo all natives distrust the government.
Investors are not scrambling for shares. Cap
ital from other countries cannot bo secured ,
It senms , because China Insists on complete
Chinese control and management of the
roaels , foreign money to be a silent partner
nt the mercy of mildewed mandarin methods ,
which nro not notoriously honest nt best.
For example , China never selects ofllclnls for
any special qualification. The man recently
chosen to develop the mineral resources of
the empire never saw a mlno In his life. The
personage picked out to manage the Imperial
Bank and provide a currency system has
never been out of rural Manchuria. The
florco mariner who commanded the naval
fleet In the war with Jupan got the appoint
ment not bccauso ho was n known expert In
navigation nnd navil warfare , but because
ho passed the top notch examination In the
maxims of Confi'.clus. Even at the present
tlmo Sheng has a Gorman architect
locating the railway from Shanghai to Woo-
sung , on the tame principle which led Chacig
Chlh-Tung to employ a doctor to build an
arsenal , a successful contractor to run a
man-of-war and a school teacher to erect
blast furnaces. Foreign Investors will fight
shy of Chinese rallraads If tholr manage
ment is to bo absolutely In charge of men
with no earthly qualification for their duties.
Even the great StiEcig himself , director gen
eral of all these proposed railroads , who baa
undertaken to build a system of 3,000 miles
In the next two or three years , his never
seen any but the toy railways now going In
China. Under these -conditions It Is easy to
understand why Shenc ; finds great dlfllcnlty
In securing the $10,000,000 allotment of capital
which ho Is allowed to get from abroad. His
latest overturea to a Helglan syndicate have
not produced a shower of gold.
SHARP CONTRASTS.
An obstacle equally serious exists In China
Itself. The country presents sharp contrasts
In the very rich and the very poor. Man'arl-
arc not rushing to Invest their millions , bc
cause they know what dreadful ctn-'ioranta
the mandarins arc , and Shcng Is ccie of that
class. The poor people who can boast of any
nest eggs at all show no disposition to cm-
hark In a government entcrprlso so long as
the prinelolo maintains thnt all property be
longs to the emperor und may bo confiscated
at will. The thrifty Chinaman melts his
silver pavings and tanks them in a hole be
neath his house and only the most gilt-
edged Investment will lure them from that
primitive safety vault. He would be far more
ready to take the rallrcad shares If foreigners
\vcro to control In the management and the
caoltal , for there would be no confiscation
lu that cose. The government would not
dare.
As to the Chinamen In this country who ore
called upan for loyal subscriptions , Slicing has
managed to incur the enmity and distrust of
the wealthy Six Companies in San Francisco
by his treatment of Hsil Ta-Jcn. Before
Sheng became director general a contract to
build the road from Poking to Han-kow ( and
ultimately to Canton ) had Iieen awarded to
Hsil of Caaton by Princes Kung and Chlng ,
at the request of the emperor. This arrange-1
ment Shone managed In some way to brtibh |
aside. Now the wealthy Chinese merchants of
San Francisco OTO nearly all Cantonese and
they want nothing to do with the man who
beat one of the most prominent and hcnorable
of tholr ovni townsmen out of .control of the
line
It must be clear enough , in view or an
these facts , that ISheng Ta-Jcn will fieri It
an uphill Job to pour the new wine of modern
progress Into the old cobwebbed bottles of
China. He cannot dispense with the wine
and he elaro not attempt to change the
bottles In an.y high-handed , radical way. As
a further sample of the rocks ahead , largely
placed there by himself , Sheng has led his
countrymen actually to believe that ho can
swing China Into the modern railroad column
on her own maufac-turing , engineering and
I mechanical resources. He has assured them
that China can make her own rails , although
there is but ono iron foundry , feeding ono
lonesome smelter , Ini the entire empire ; and
In the matter of locomotives , he Is only
willing to concede that China will need a
fc-w samples from abroad. Hy theses ex
travagant claims ho has worked the prldo
of China to such a pitch that It will trouble
both China and himself to go through the
shrinking process. Shong Is sectiro enough
for the present at least , because the mighty
Celestials of royal rank have never even
seen a locomotive , never been outsldo of the
sacred capital of Peking. They are more
than ready to swallow any statement that
glorifies the powers and possibilities of the
empire. How long can ho throw this per
fumed dust In their eyes ?
How soon his excellency , Shong , will over
come all the obstacles presented , and how ho
can reconcile China's mechanical poverty
with the actual facts , nro Interesting matters
for speculation. Hut as the Chlneso mind
has resolved on modern development , It will
come In some wny before long. Meantime
the foreign trade of the empire , under
present crude facilities has doubled within
ten years. This trade , a largo share of
which might bo diverted to the United States ,
now goes to the nations of Europe by an
overwhelming majority. Europe gets the
cow and this country the hide.
A COMMERCIAL CAMPAIGN.
It Is now proposed , with a novel style of
commercial campaign BOO whether a heavy
Increase cannot bo made In our trade with
the empire. The latest American method of
n permanent exposition is to ho applied at
the crcat city of Shanghl , Our celealleal
couitns are so alccped In the superstition of
centuries th t they will not believe the mar
vels ot modern ni.iculnory unless they eo
them. Hence they cnmiut bo Induced to buy
from circulars or pictures , In order to meet
end overcome this preijudtcp , American mpr-
cJiaitts of New York. Chicago. Philadelphia ,
* ud San Francisco hnvo united In the estab
lishment of nn American-Chinese Clumber
ot Commerce at Shanghai. Plans have been
completed by Qeurgo S. Howen , well known
for his connection with the exposition at
Chicago ; ground has been secured at a con
venient point In the American reservation of
Shanghai ; building design * of a Chicago
architect have been adopted , and enough sub
scriptions 'to the enterprise have been secured
to Insure Interest payments on the required
sum , Manufacturers' associations ot the four
cities named have heartily endorsed the plan.
The proposed structure Is to bo 400 feet
long. 200 wide , and will cost about J200.000.
It will be divided Into sections similar to
the World's fair buildings. In It nro to bo
pcrniPilently displayed , for the 'Inspection ol
unbelieving orientals , n wlelo assortment ol
the latest American machinery , electrical ap
paratus , and exclusively American manu
factured products nnd material. Chinamen
will have Hio chance they demand of seeing
all this vnuntod machinery In operation. It
Is confidently assumed that this eye-opening
process will loose-n Ihclr purse strings , and
divert n largo part , If not the lion's share ,
of China's trade to the United States when
the development gets fairly under way.
Ono feature In this enterprise will commend
Itself to all Interested parties. 11 Is to be
throughly "American In management nnd
methods. Those of our merchants who have
connections In Ciilna uro represented almost
exclusively by foreign flgonts there , and the
results have not been satisfactory. These
men nro tinctured by their own tMtloml
prejudice and methods. They lack tha-t patrl-
otic devotion to American Interests which
native Americans would show. Not only are
the otllcers of the now Shanghai chamber io
bo Americans throughout , but nil exhibitors
are urgently requested to send their own
trusted representatives to control Uielr In
terests In China.
A UKItOIC I'lHKMAV.
Thrilling UIMMIIof u lloy from n
DurnliiK1 ItuIlilliiK.
During the burning ot a building In Haiti-
more n few days ago a fireman performed
an act of daring In the resctio of a boy
from the llamesi which stamped him a hereof
of the most heroic sort. fThe Amorlcm thus
describes the deed :
The fire burst out without warning to the
employes who crowded every floor. In the
number were many young girls nmV boys.
The stronger helped the weaker , anel all
escaped by the back stairway excepting
young Stork. This lad was Imprisoned on
the top floor of the building , his cacapo
being entirely cut off by a seething mass
of flames that was already raging in the
rear of the building and had burst through
the skylight , sending forked torgucs high
toward the sky. The.powerful north wind
caught the flame and smoke and sent It
swooping toward the front of the build rrg
out of which there iburst the > most appilling
evidences of n conflagration. A'.l th'a ' hap
pened before an alarm had been sent In.
Indeed , ibefore n young man from the build-
tag had rushed to en alarm box the llamas
already held fierceaway. . A crowd collected
like ir..iglc.
Then it was that the Imperiled boy ap
peared. Ho discovered , all escape by the
stairway to bo cut off , and rushed to the
front windows. By that time a whirlwind
of sulphurous-looking smoke was belching
from all flic windows ot the front of the
topmost etory , whl'le ' there was a succes
sion of crfshcs of broken glass as the
flames and amoke broke through -ill barriers
and' ' were blown hither and yon. Out from
this mass of combustion came the little boy
In shirt sleeves and1 knickerbockers.
He was greeted with a horrified shout by
the spectators , and his face looked down
upon them with extreme terror written on
It. The building is taller than those sur
rounding it , nnd the boy WES held a pris
oner on the cornice , as not only were the
roofs of the other buildings far below him.
but they , wereat such on angle that nn
attempt to Jump to , .them would pvciabi'.y
have precipitated him to the street below.
The boy's position on the cornlco ta the
center of the building was. untenable , the
volumes of smoke threatening every minute
to smother him. With admirable presence
of mind ho began to crawl alrag the narrow
ledge to Its westward ending. To the crowd
below it scorned ! an age before he reached
the endof the cornice , and then It seemed
that ho could hold on "but " little longer , as
the flames were Increasing at an amazing
rate. After what seemed an ago to the
koyed-up spectators the boy reached the' cml
of the cornice , end then , hanging on with
hla right hand , swung his body around the
coimer .to the w-Jll of the building where the
smoke and flame could not strike his body.
There ho hung , half suspended , whllo the
crowd sent up wile ! cries ot encouragement.
Neighbors fetched a ladder and planted It
on the roof of the building over which the
buy hung half suspended. This ladder was
nittiay feet too short , and hence- useless ,
Up nnd down the street men rushed , looking
frantically for a ladder and howling Im
precations against the ? Imagined tl'owness of
the flro department. Many woinra , after
seeing the boy hanging In the face ot awful
death , ran away , biding their faces. W'lile
It seemed an eternity before the department
arrived. It waa really tout n few minutes.
A licac carriage was the first en the
scene , but had no ladder long enough to
reach by half. The fireman shouted words
of encouragement to the trembling" " boy , and
were bulaly engaged In stretching a blanket
In the hope of breaking the boy's fall , should
the great heat wither Ms right hand and com.
pel him to lese his hold. This was the situa
tion when hook and ladder company No , 2
anlved. The celerity and discipline with
which the liremeri acted were wonderful.
Without the loss of a second -they yanked a
big ladder off the carriage and had It planted
to tlio roof of the house 'to the west. Before
this ladder was well placed a stream of fire
men ran nimbly up It. The second man car
ried a lighter ladder , which he pl-intcd on
the roof of the smaller building , leaning It
up against the blank wall of the building
In which the flro raged. By this tlmo the
pc-sltlon of the boy was well-nigh unendur
able,1. It seemed but a few seconds before ho
must let go.
There was a cry1 of horror from the crowd
when the firemen placed the second ladder
In position. It would not reach the hey by
coveral feet , Then happened something for
which the hero should have medals and
promotions. Laddcrman Joseph Daly , of
the company , without a second's hesitancy ,
ran to the 'topmost ' round of the short lad
der. On one end of It there were two curved
iron hooks , mcint to catch on wlndowsllls.
Standing en the top round , and holding to
ono of thpgo hooks , the boy was at least
two feet above Daly's reach , whllo the
I'idder ' Itself was en the extreme'cdgo ' of the
burning structure.
"Jump ! " yelled the fireman , bracing Jilm-
self for the shock.
With cool calculation thn boy swung as
wldo as possible of the building and launched
himself Into apace. The strong right arm of
the fireman caught tliei boy UK ho started to
fall. For a moment , fireman , boy and Udder
seemed to swing out over the street , trem
bling In the baUncc. Then , by a mighty effort.
Daly recovered his equilibrium , wiillo the
crowd ot flruiiien at the base of the ladder
held hard agalrnt the strain. When the
hero and the boy reached the roof In safety
