north of here, was an old framo struct- !
uro. In it were 19 scholars, in charge
of the village teacher, Miss May Porter.
Besides the scholars tliera was littlo Wil
lard Johnson, son of Conrad Johnson.
He was too young to go to school and
bis father had left him in Miss Porter’;:
care for tlio day.
Qntrido the door was an aslipile and
near that a woodshed. Just after the
noon recess Miss Porter noticed smoke
at the door, and told one of the boys to
see what caused it. The woodshed had
caught fire from the ashpile, and when
Ihu boy opened the door a mass of flames
struck him in the face.
Tho scholars took one look at the door
and then ran shrilling to Miss Porter’s
desk. She ran to the door, but saw es-
capebyit was impossible. The only
w.iy to save the children was to drop
thorn out of the window.
Two or the largest boys leaped out of
tho window, and to them Miss Porter
began handing out tho children. As she
lifted them up one by one the flames
came nearer, and the room grew black
with smoke, which almost stifled her.
She could easily have abandoned her
pupils and saved her own life, but she
stayed.
At last all were saved but littlo Wil
lard Johnson. IIo did not know what
to do, and ran hither and thither chased
by the tongues o' fire. Miss* Porter
startod to catch him, but he ran directly
into the most fiery part of the room, 1
breathed tho flamos and dropped.
Miss Porter ran to him, but the fire, ;
which was already going through the I
window from which she had passed 19 i
children, caught her clothing, and she j
fell by the side of the child.
Melvin Chambers climbed upon the
window sill to help his teach?r. but was
driven back. Ho climbed up again and
8aw Miss Porter rise, "with the child in
her arms, and tako a step forward. A
great whirl of fire swept around her, and l
she foil. Then she made one more !
effort, and as the flames drove the boy
back ho saw her fall again with the
Johnson boy in her arms.
Tho 19 children stood there and saw ;

THE~LAST MEETING.
The Knights of Labor .Meet In Thlladel- 1
|ihl* for tlia Last Time.
Philadelphia, Nov. 17.—The Knights
of Labor of America have met here iu
convention, this being the seventeenth
time they have come together as a na
tional body to legislate for tho order.
The meeting did not get ready for busi
ness until afternoon, the morning being
consumed in organization.
When the convention adjourns after
this meeting it will be without day.
This fact has become generally known,
and has led to the charge that Master
Workman Powderly and others are pre
paring to disintegrate the order, so that
they might come into possession of its
property, valued at more than $100,000.
Mr. Powderly in an interview indig
nantly denies the charge.
The convention will nut 6et a time for
meeting again, because of an agreement
made with the American Federation of
Labor and other organizations. The
idea is to agree upon a common day iu
the future when all labor organizations
from Chihuahua and Casa Grandes and
have taken Ascension and Carroltos.
The’ Americans, who were ordered or
dered out of Ascension by the revolu
tionists, are seeking safety at Darning,
N. M. The Mormon colonists, located
near Lake Palomas, just across the bor
der, have been ordered to abandon their
home.

Jackson, Miss., Nov. 17.—The Fed
eral grand jury continues to probe, and
15 indictments have been returned.
Twelve are for selling whisky without
license, two for illicit distilling and one
for embezzlement, the latter being
against Major W. H. Gibbs, tho ex-Re
publican postmaster at this place. The
amount alleged to have been embezzled
is $3,920.82. George Brown, a postal
clerk, on trial for tampering with the
mails, was found guilty.
A Criminal Prosecution Abandoned.
Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 17.—Captain
Clifford Cassidy, of the Twenty-second
regiment, N. G., indicted for killing
young Broderick during the strike of
August, 1392. will not be tried. The
district attorney says the Broderick fam
ily are satisfied to rest the matter with
the trial of their suit for civil damages
brought before the state board of claims.
“Besides.” says that officer, “the case
against Cassidy is so weak that convic
tion is hopeless."

New York, Nov. 17.- The failure of

Co. will enlist much interest in the

The assets of-the concern are set by
Mr. Tlibrber at nearly $2,000,000, and

of which $500,009 is iu commercial pa
per. Careful handling should pay every
debt and .leave something to divide
among the stockholders.
Every dollar of Mr. Tlinrber’s is in
vested in the company, and, as the
largest stockholder, he will be the
largest loser. He has the sympathy of
the whole banking and business world
in his misfortunes, and his honesty is un
questioned.
An effort will be made to continue the
business. Plans for reorganization will
be prepared and laid before the stock
holders, “and,” Mr. Thurber says, “it
will be for them to determine what
course is the most judicious under the
circumstances. To stop the business
and wind it up, would involve such
great loss that it is not for a moment to
be thought of.”

Washington, Nov. 17.—A report has
been circulated that Ambassador
Panncefcrce is negotiating with SecreJ
tary Gresham for the settlement of the
claims o* the British sealers seized pre
vious to thewnodus Vivendi of 1891. If
Ambassador Paunceforte has received
any instructions to make a demand on
this government he has jot had any offi
cial communication on the subject with
the state department. The Behring sea
tribunal quashed all claims except those
for damages for seizure of vessels previ
ous to the modus vivendi. It is proba
ble that before long the Canadian claims
for indemnity will be presented to this
government.
Representatives of Pacific coast inter
ests are urging (he president and Secre
tary Greaham to obtain the concurrence
of other nations to the Behring sea agree
ment. They represent that sealers are
already preparing for next season, and
that if the concurrence of other nations
is not obtained they will fly the flags of
other nations than the United States and
Great Britain, and destroy seals without
benefit to this government. The presi-
