iMrs. Burnett's Coarngeoiis Art. THE CREATOR Of HEROINES IN riCTION A HEROINE IN TACT. From tho Now York Tlmar Mrs. Frank Hodgson Burnett, the well known novelist, appeared in a new character at Long Beach, on Friday, when she saved the life of Mr. Larz Anderson, the executor of the Long worth estate in Cincinnati. The story of this brave act cannot be better given than in the words ot the heroine her self, who thus told it to a reporter yes r terday: "Mr. Anderson and his wife came to the hotel on Thursday. I did not know them very well before, but when 'That Lass o' Loa rieV was ( üblished Mr. An kderson wrote ino a most kind letter, one that was very pleasant to get. During the day Mr. Anderson, his wife and myself were together almost all the time and we became great friend*. 1 had not been well for some days nnd Mr. Anderson proposed that wo should take a bath before breakfast, as he thought one would give us an appetite. Accordingly on Friday morning Mr. ami Mrs. Anderson and 1 went down to the bathing bouses. It was so early that the bath men were not there, and t and we could see no one except our selves upon the beach. Mrs. Anderson did not intend to bathe, ami when I came ot>t ready for the water 1 saw Mr. Anderson coming at the same time down towards the bridge over the creek. The water at this creek is some times quite deep and sometimes quite shallow. It varies with the tide, you know. Mr. Anderson went out on the bridge and dived otf. 1 have always been nervous when 1 see people diving, I because some years ago some of my friends lost a brother who broke his neck plunging into shallow water, and I have never got over the effect which their grief had on me. To this day, when 1 see a gentleman dive, I almost hold my breath untd I see him come up. Well, when Mr. Anderson dove oil'the little bridge, his wife and 1 were standing on the shore. He did not come up for a moment, and when be did his face only came out of the water a-> far as hischin. He said in a horrible tone,'Ob, God !' and his wife called out, 'What is the matter, Larz; are you hurt?' He made no answer, but began to sink again. Mrs. Anderson started off at once, screaming for help; but there was no one there. Then I ran into the water ami pulled him on shore. The water was not deep ; not more than three feet I should think, nnd I did not know what else to do except to get him out of the water as quick as possi ble. He looked horrible, his head hung over, and I was afraid he was dead. I | carried him up on the shore and laid him down, and then Mrs. Anderson came with some men she had found and they carried him up to the hotel. "Mr. Anderson tells me that he was perfectly conscious all of the time and knew what he should do, although he was utterly unable to do anything. It must have been horrible for bun to realize that be was sinking and not able to step the tew feet necessary to make hirn safe. The only thing I am sur prised at is my being able to carry him, for he is a heavy man and I am not very strong. Dr. Morton attended him, and to-day. I am glad to say. he is much better. His arms and shoulders hurt him, but he can move them, although with some pain. It is a wonderful thing that he is not more hurt than he is, and we are all very thankful that it has not turned out to be a very bad acci * dent.'' Mrs. Burnett, who is of rather slight figure and does not enjoy robust health, hardly seemed to realize in telling Ibis story that she had done anything at all out of the ordinary run. Dr. Morton, the physician in charge of Mr. Anderson, said, when asked about the case: "Mr. Anderson is suffering j from a slight wrench of the spine and a severe strain of the cords and muscles of the neck and shoulders. When he struck, the head was thrown violently forward, the neck being bent very sud denly. This is the origin of the strain. There are no symptoms of paralysis, nor do I anticipate any trouble of that kind. He is much better today, and 1 hope to see him out in a few days. The water in which he dove could not have been more than three feet deep, and it is a wonderful thing that he did not break his neck." Klrh Sliver Discovery in Dakota. A City Founded in Four Itayi, with 9 Saloon*, 2 Faro ltanks, and a l>ady Newspaper. DEADWOOP, Dakota, August 24.—Some time ago an old prospector named Red path found some float rock on the hills about ten miles from this city, which ho thought was pure carbonate. He brought it to the city, had it assayed, and found that it went up to the thou sands of ounces to the ton. He also showed it to old Colorado miners, who pronounced it the pure stuff, and were very anxious to know where it came from. There was a good deal of mystery at first, but the secret flnslly leaked out and the excitement commenced. it was mild at first, but in a short time it took possession of everybody, and the stampede of the season was inaugurated. The ground on which the discovery was made was in a wild portion of the coun try that had never been prospected. There were no roads to the point, and the first crowd of treasure hunters made <* their way there on horseback or afoot. They came bsck with specimens of rich rock, and in a day or two Ifeadwood, Central City, and Lead City were almost depopulated. A town was laid out. lota drawn for by all present, rules of gov ernmsnt agreed to. and the place named "West Virginia City." In forty-eight hours the town contained nearly one thousand inhabitants, and nine saloons were in operation. On the third day two faro banks were opened, restaurants were started, and, to cap the climax, on ■ the fourth dev the first copy of a daily newspaper, called the Qirwwfi Reporter, was issued. Fifty buildings have been erected during the last week, and as high as $. r >oo has been paid for building lots. The town promises to be perma nent, as there have been many rich g finds. The suicide of Dr. Ostrander, of West i Fituton, Luzerne county, is said to have been caused from deceased mind, jj|k caused by •xoessire smoking. JVrw Advert inetnetttH, LOOK IIKRK!
