FIREMEN RESCUED THE LITTLEST BAB They Carried It and Its Mother Down a Fire Escape and Now Both Are Doing Well in Spite of It. The “littlest baby” ts laughing and gurgling to-day in the home of a neigh- bor and !f It could talk might tell what fun It ts to be carried down a ladder in the arms of a fireman. But the “littlest baby’’ {s only three days old and weighs only a pound for each day. ‘The mother 1s Mrs. Anna Morris and she, too, was carried down a ladder to eafoty when the house at No. 125 West Oné Hundred and Thirty-fourth street burned late last night. Despite her ex- eiting experience she is resting well and @eclares she will be up in a short time. ‘The explosion of an oil stove set fire to the room where the mother and Daby were, and the entire building was goon ablaze. When the firemen came they could not get to the door of the apartment, so they raised ladders to the window. Mrs. Morris was too weak to leave her bed and the firemen found her with the baby clasped tightly to her breast. She was mute from fear, thinking she and the child would be burned. She and the baby were wrapped snugiy in blankets and carried safely down the ladders. Tt was the child's grandfather, Ed- ward Kuntse, who makes his home with his daughter, who called it the “littlest baby.” The youngster welghs but three pounds now and has grown considerably since the first appearance. BABY SLEPT WELL UNDER POLICE CARE She Had Wandered Far from Home and Got Lost, but that Did Not Worry Her to a Great Extent. A pretty little girl, less than four Years old, in waiting for her mother to claim Mer at Police Headquarters, but she {s not worrying while she Lizzie Curran 1s her name, she and she slept as soundly under the tentlve eye of Matron Travers as if at home in her own crib. The policeman who brought her from the West Forty-seventh street station after she was picked up in the street at Tenth avenue and Forty-elghth street gave her a bag of candy, and be- tween bites she told everything con- cerning herself except where she lives. ‘That is a point beyond her baby mind. She has a brother Will, who, ls a baker, and a brother John, who also works, she told the matron, but her father 1s dead, After dinner last even- ing she was sent out to a store on an errand and couldn't find her way back. She has no idea how far she had wan- dered when the policeman found her. Lizzie {s @ pretty child. Her skin is dark and her long hair almost jet black, Her eyes are dark blue and laugh as she talks. She says her mother and brothers were very good to her, but they did not make inquiries for her last night. git et SHE HAS LIVED 103 YEARS.

MANY INJURED IN CRASH OF TROLLEYS Two So Seriously Hurt in Col- lision of Cars at Twenty-third Street and Sixth Avenue They Are Removed to Hospital.

Both cars shot forward at once, and when it was too late, the motormen made frantic efforts to stop them. The Sixth avenue car smashed into the crosstown one and the sound of the splintering timbers and glass was mingled with the frantic cries of the passengers.
