of the Rescued The Flood Elser
where—Prompt Measures to
aviteve the Suffering.
Cversnary O., Feb, 16. ~Nobert Kyle's
boarding house, enrner Pearl and Ludlow
streets, in the flooded district, fell yesterday
morning at 4 o'clock and immediately took
fire. The flames were soon ‘extinguished and
most of the inmates resened, but John W,
Kyle, Mary Colter, Maud Ellis, Janes Ogden,
Bernardt Von Wenker, Mrs. Von Wenker
and Thomas Burke, bis wife and two children
and Mr, and Mrs. Wochmeler wers drowned,
The scene which followed the crash was
one of horror, - Men were shouting and wo-
men and children were screaming. for help,
Boon several boats arrived, and the boatmen,
with the aid of lanterns, began to rescue the
jumates of the houses. About fifty people
were taken out of the wrecked bulldings.
During the entire day the vicinity of the
accident was crowded with people who not
only filled the street above the water line
but went out in boats to have a betber view
of the wrecked buildings at a casual glance
The block appeared intact, as the fronts on
both Pearl “and Ludlow streets are still
standing, but the back part of the houses are
gone. She rear wall gave way and carried
| with it the main part of the buildings, break-
| ing them across. Thus they were split in
two. The fact that the front wall remained
standing was providential, as otherwise
there must have been much greater loss of
life. By placing ladders against the remain-
ing wall the firemen were able to rescus the
people still on the upper floors without much
difficulty.
Some very narrow escapés from death
wers reported by the survivors the shocking
accident. Ben Woehnker says be did not
awake until the crash came and be found
himself going down into the water. With
desperate strength be broke through the lath
and plaster with his fist and crawled through
the hole thus made. He was only slightly
bruised. W. IH. Cox, who slept on the third
floor, with William Hahn, fina front room,
was let down foto the water, and Habn was
{ left. The room parted in the center, pre-
| cipitating Cox down and leaving Habn un-
{harmed. Cox says be was asleep until he
struck the water and felt bricks falling upon
bim. He managed to climb upoa the re
maining part of the second floor and got out
and down a ladder. His bead was badly cus
op by bricks.

How Watch Cases are Made.
1t is a fact not generally known that the
James Dowd Gold Watch Cases really eon
tain more pure gold than many “solid”
gold cases The demand for these walch
Cynon has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases—
low in quality, snd deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4§ 80 10 karats,
and a or 6 kerat case is often sold for 12
or 14 karats, It is wor economy to buy a
watch esse #6 poor in guality that it will
soon Jose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one 0 thin that a slight blow will bresk
the cryetal, and perhaps the movement,
It 18 economy to buy a Janes Bosd Gold
Watch Cuse, in which woxe of these things
ever occur. ‘This watch case is not an ezperi-
snent—it has been made nearly thirly years.
