The fire was first seen by Joseph
Lindsay, of 60 King street west, and 111,

frozn the corner of King and Bay
streets at 10,15. The reelsi were quickly
on hand, but the ladders, which were

the gathering crowd helplessly watch-
ing the frenzied women. at the win-
dows, along time in, coming. The
smoke was pouring from every window,
and one woman, to get air, crawled
out on the corniee. Overcome by the
smoke, \Miss Power fell headlong from

a terrible struggle through the flames
and smoke. As soon as she reached
the window she was seen, and a cry
went up from the crowd. They en-
couraged her by shouts to hold on until
the ladder arrived, but the woman was
overcome by the smoke, and, notwith-
standing the feet that she was com-
paratively safe where she was, she
fainted, and fell to the ground. She
was at once picked up by eager hand
and carried into Lindsay's grocer

her down the the ladder after the fire was
practically over, and took her directly
to the Emergeney hospital. Her face
and neck were burned., and she had evi-

recovery is doubtful.
- CREPT OUT ON THE CORNICE.
Mrs. Fieroe, a nurse, was the other
seriously inured woman. Like her two
companionsin misfortune, she was in
bed when the fire broke out. She made
her way to the front of the 'building,
opened a window, and crawled out on
the cornice. The spectators below fear-
ed a repetition -of the • previous catas-
trophe, and. shouted to her to hold on.
Mrs. Fieroe sat calmly down on the
narrow ledge, and waited till a ladder
had been hestily erected. She then sur-
rendered herself to the muscular arms
of Fireman "Billy" Smith, and was
soon on the pavement. She was taken

200 CASES OF SMALLPDX.
Au Awful outbreak la a Small Pennsyl-
vania Town.
A despatch from Huntington, Pa,
says :-Among Bedford's population of
2,800 there are about 200 cases of what
Ls said to be genuine smallpox. This
alarming condition of affairs was dis-
covered on Wednesday, and up to that
time there continued an uninterrupt-
ed commingling of the citizens of the
town, irrespective of their physical
condition. Dr. W. B. Atkinson, of
Philadelphia, inspectnr of the State
Board of Health, passed through here
on Thursday, on his return home crora
Bedford, where he spent Wednesday in
diagnosing the disease that pre,vails
from one end of the town to the other.
The Bedford physicians disagree, some
pronouncing It to be chickenpox.
Dr. Atkinson, after a thorough ex-
amination, says it is ,genuine smallpox.
He counted lee cases in the town, and
believes there are fully 2e0 ie all. Men,
women, and children, he declares, with
smallpox crusts on their .bodiee and
faces, have been travelling the streets
day and night and visiting from noose
to house unconscious of the -true na-
ture of their affliction. The rapid
spread of the disease was due to the.
inability of the local physicians to
diagnose it,. not one of the practicing
physicians of the town having ever 1 be -
fora treated smallpox. Drastic mea-
sures were taken to -day to prevent the
contagion from spreading further. The
whose town is closely quarantined, po-
liced, and guarded, and heroic mea-
sures will be prosecuted to check the
plague. ,
DEATH LURKS IN CLOTHING.
_
PoLoni Found In _Vele Clothing Supplied
by Workmen.
A. despatch from London, says: -
The Landet called attention last week
to a new danger to life of poisoning
by one's own clothing. The discovery
was made by Dr. Godfrey Taunton, a
pbysician in the General hospital at
Birmingham.
First one workingman came to the
hospital suffering acute agony, from a
severe rash on his wrists. Another
man entered, complaining of the -same
thing, but, in addition, he had the
same rash on his knees. Soon after
many others, all in one employ,' ap-
peared at the hospital suffering alike.
Then it transpired the workmen had
been terved with new .overcoats. The
cloth was found to contain zinc chlor-
ide. The day being wet, the men ab-
sorbed some of this poison when it
was brought into contact with the
skirt, causing severe pain and. a most
irritating itch.
