Ho finally gathered his scattered thoughts sufficiently to thank the boys for their kindness and could not see what ho had over demo deserve such a compliment from his friends.

Brown Taylor and wife arrived homo this morning from Mulberry Grove, Bond County, 111., where they hael been to attend the funeral of Mr. Taylor's mother, Mrs. Joseph Taylor.

Tho old lady was 70 years of ago and eliod Thanksgiving day from tho effects of a paralytic stroke. Tho funeral occurred Saturday and was largely at- toneled as the "deceased was hold in high esteem in tho county in which she lived. Mrs. Taylor was a native of Ohio, ami in the year 1855 she came west with her husband. They settled in Stephonson Cemnty, in Hock Run township, and wore among our early pio eors.

Their homo in that township was a very pleasant erne and it was there that J. Brown Taylor, the present etllcicnt cashier of tho Second National Bank spent his boyhood days. In the year 18M, Mr. Taylor moved his family to Mulberry Grove where he has since resided, lie is quite an aged gentleman ami his many friends sym- with him deeply in his sad bereavement. His companion through life was a noble-hearted Christian lady who shared all his privations ami hardships in his early struggles.

She was a true wife and a loving motho-. Her son Brown Taylor, and three elauglujsrs are living. Mr. Taylor's many Freo- port friends will sympathize with him. Patrick Grant butchered to-day.

There is nothing very extraorelinary in that only that Mr. Grant has had considerable trouble in the past in keeping his pork after it was nicely prepareel for liis winter's use. Last season he had the most of it stolen, lie was bounel to keep his pork this year, and as he lives outside of the city limits, ho could not call upon the? city for protection; so this morning he called upon his friend Sheriff Timms for protection and the ever watchful sheriff fnrnisheel him willi several able bodied deputies them were Bill Ascher, Tipperary Holland, F. K. Josel, J.

S. Rogers and others. They were all provided with big tin stars and as Pat saw them coming lie was uncharitable enough to remark that they were closer to the now than they would ever be in the hereafter. Notwithstanding that Pat had this able array of talent for a body guard, some of his choicest pieces of pork mysteriously disappeared before night, and to-morrow he will swear out a warrant for the arrest of a couple of the deputies on suspicion. Tho trial will make an interesting (pig) tale and it is thought some of the deputies will squeal on their partis before the tiling is endeel.

LUOKt FBEEPORT. A rillB NIOIITTITAT MIOI1T HAVR 8WRIT A WHOLE IfU)CK HAD IT NOT fllCKN 1'OH TIM! 'I'JtemiT ACTION OK KIRffi LAMHRH. Freoport'B proverbial luck in regard to tires still sticks to us. Last night about 12 o'clock, as the night watchman in the German Insurance office was making his rounds, he looked out. of one of the back windows and saw a bright blaze back ejf Gardner store.

He at once gave tho alarm. Officer Frank IMorsol, who has the beat on lower Stephenaon Street, was on bis way to the station-house to his lunch and also gave the alarm at the engine house and made for the burning building to arouse the sleeping occupants la the'second and third stories, who seemed let be unaware of their danger. The alarm had no more than been given, till down the brass pole slid Chief Fire Marshal Rodemeier and his bravo followers. The Chief took in tho situation at a glance, and saw that some cool, quick work must be elone or else the whole block would be one mass of flames. Tim hose was quickly attacheel to tho lire plug at Knowlton's bank corner, and taken around to rear of tho building.

Tho building is a double, three-story brick with three wooden porches, stairways and summer kitchens on the back. The back of the building was a mass of flames when tho alarm was turned in, and it looked as though no power on earth could save the building when tho llromen began to throw a stream of When tho boys got one stream gojng they made connections with another hydrant and held the stream in readiness in case of an emergency, as it is Chief llodecneier's policy to not only put out a lire, but to do it with as little water as possible. He directed the boys where to throw water, and worked systematically together, The result was that they soon had the fire under control, and the large crowd that had assembled began to breathe easy once more. While the firemen wore at work in the back of the building officers Piersol and Strohacker were not idle. They wont up the front way and closed tho eloors and windows so that no draught could got through tho building.

The lower floors of the building are occupied by Furry Knaull's butcher shop and Gardner seed- inen and florists. The second story of the building is by J. W. Cowley and wife and Mr. Bergner and wife as residences, and tho thirel story is occupied by Wm.

1.1. Waltonand family and Cal Kistner and wife. The olH- cers had considerable difficulty in waking tho occupants of tho rooms. Mrs. Kistnor is in Chicago but Mr.

Kistuer was at homo all alone. Ho has only one hand, and it was with considerable difficulty that ho got on his clothes. Mr. Bergner and wife were soon aroused and Otllcer Piersol rang Mr. Cowloy's eloor boll several times before he succeeded in arousing the inmates.

Mr. Cowloy was away from home and the rooms wore occupied by bis wife and her nkco, Miss Minnie Weinhold. When they awoke and realized that tho building was on lire they were stricken with terror. It looked as though tho building was on fire at both ends, and their escape was cutoff. In her terror Miss Weinhold made rush for the back eml of the building Intending to escape through the (lames.

Otllcer Piersol saw her intent and grabbed her before she rushoel to certain death. lie succeeded in calming the ladies somewhat and in- formeeV thorn that the fire was only in the back part. Miss Weinhold was carried out of the building mom dead than alive. The rest of the ladies in tho building wore more calm and began to gather tliei- 1 valuables together preparatory to leaving tho building. Mr.

Walton'has several small children ami they were terribly frightened. Some of bis excited friends threw a of bed clothing, out of tho third story window. But as it was seen that the fire was well under control the otlicers would not allow anything else to bo removed and got the crowd of people out of tho building. It was after one o'clock before the lire was extinguished and then the extent of the damage could be seen. The back porches and summer kitchens were one mass of charrotl wood and so were some of the window frames of tho building but aside from this the never got inside of the building.

It was discovered that the lire originated from a defective Hue in Mr. Kistnor's back kitchen. Mr. Kistner suffers tho greatest loss as tho smoke and boat penetrated every room in the house and damaged all hisjfurniture. He has $500 insurance on his household effects.

Mr. Bergnev's loss is also quite extensive and ho has no insurance. His wife hael just washed the day before and all tho clothes were hanging on a line em the back porch and they were all dostroyeel. Taeir fuvni TO and carpets in their backroom vjve damaged by heat and water to soma extent. Mr, Cowloy suffers no loss to speak of.

Only tho back kitchen was damaged a little by water and the house was pretty well smoked up. His are fully covereel by Mr. Walton loses considerable, as his things were torn up to a groat extent. The double building was owned by the lato A. lleifsnider, but when he elie-d and the property was divided the builel- ing occupied by Furry KnaulT went to his daughter, Mrs.

M. M. Mayer, and the building occupied by Gardner florists, wont to his grand-son, Chas. R. Haws, of Chicago.

Tho buildings will at once be put in as gewil repair as ever. All who saw tho lire and the manner in which the firemen handled it spoke loud in praise of the firemen and the water works system. It was the Ihst tire since John Rodemeier was appointed cb'ef and it is evident fcom his actions last night that Mayeir Bergman made no mistake when he appointed him to fill tho place made vacant by the resignation of Frank He was pe fectly cool and collected and saw that liie'-e vas no waler wasted, for he fully that water eifteu causes asmuc'i damage as the tire. Tho department is entitled to tho thanks eif the people of ami the insurance companies for their most efficient work. A JOURNAL r-a porter interviewed Messrs Ferry KnaufT, Gardner Bios, and John Kercher in regavd to the lire and they were all pleased with iho manner in which it was handled, they expected to tind their store rooms flooded with water this morning, but they were agreeably surprised to tind that hardly any water hael leaked through.
