A dusy half hour wes spent by the Wire Department this afternoon on ac- count of an old mattress belonging to Mrs. Joseph Spitzer, who lives on the top floor of “the House of Many Ba- bles,” four-story apartment structure ‘at No. 69 First street. Mrs. Spitzer was poking around for mice ia the light of a candle, and eo- set fire to the mattress. ‘Ithout attempting to put out the little Dlaze, which she could easily have done, she grabbed her three children and rushed into the hallway crying “Fire!” Mrs. Freda Ternan and her daughter were cooking @ pot of spinach for tunch- ‘eon when they heard Mrs. Spitzer's sdarm and rushed into the hall in time to Dump into Mrs. Spitzer and her arm- Joad of infants. “My room {s on fire! fire!

Bver elnce Nellie was born a few years ago every dog fancier predicted that she would distinguish herself in Ufe and that prognostication has come true. -Neliie is a water spaniel, with black, eilken hair, black eyes and long, ."‘palm- leat” ears that almost touch the ground. She belongs to Gus Bringman, of No. $85 Fulton street, corner of Vanderbilt avenue, Brooklyn. Her intelligence nas been one of her chief attractions. Recently Nelite presented her master with a litter of puppies. They didn't have a pedigree on their father’s side, ut a home was provided for them de spite thelr mongrel appearance. At ‘about the same time Mr. Bringman's cat brought four kittens into the world. Mra. Cat with her family lived in per- fect harmony with Nellfe and her pup- ples in a big box in the cellar. All went well until five days ago. Mrs. Cat went foraging while Nelle cared for the kit- tens as well as the puppies, Mrs, Cat was running acrose Vanderbilt avenue and Fulton street when a keg fell from @ passing brewery wagon and killed her instantly. All day the kittens waited for their mother to come back, Nellle went out to look for hi ized what she ‘w: led her to the remains of Mrs. Cat.
