Fanned by a gale the fire swept rapid ly south and east to Balloon avenue nd up Rawhide avenue to within 50 yards of the People's hospital. Over a ton and a half of dynamite was used in the demolition of build ings which in a measure stayed the flames' progress. The volunteer fire department and 500 miners worked j heroically, but owing to the inflam mable construction of the buildings they were swept away like tinder. At 11 a. m. the business portion of Rawhide was a smoldering ruin, tne \ flames being finally checked south of Balloon avenue. Among the first buildings to go was Collin's hardware store, which con tained two tons dynamite, that ex ploded wit-h terrific reports, hurling burning planks and boards a great distance, setting fire to numerous [buildings simultaneously. !

More and more the University au thorities are striving to link the in stitution to the common schools'of the State. Several' members of the present faculty have been closely identified with the common schools teaching in the State and county schools for teachers, addressing teacher bodies and the public on school matters." Realising that the high school situation in the State was far from satisfactory, the Board of Trustees a little more than two years ago established in the University a Chair of secondary education, and called to it a man who had taught for nearly twenty years in the common schools, most of that time in South Carolina. Prof. Hand began by giv ing half of his time to teaching in the institution,and the other half to field work over the State. Within less than a year the demand for his time was so heavy that from that time since he has given almost his entire time to this high school work over the State, in the ,mean time the Legislature has appropriated $50,000 annuany to aid the high schools, and the State Board of Education made Prof. Hand its State-.Inspector, further linking t-h* institution to the chools. Tnere are now in round numbers one hundred -Starte: aidedMhigh' sehoola.-taw and,, ru?, ral. These schools are getting the benefit of his service in building ourses of study, classfying their work% and urging on the improvement of \these schools. For the first time in the history of the State all the col j leges and the public at large have ac cess to detailed tabulated information as to the actual work done in all the high schools of the State.

Saved at Lust Minute in Lonely Quag mire all Night, Water Was Above His Chin When Rescued. CT In the fanciful tales of horrible and terrifying experiences from Poe and Hugo no situation is described more terrible than that in which Edward Tiet'enbach, on Torrington, Conn., found himself for eight hours until he was rescued Friday moring at the moment when death seemed inevit able. Like one caught in the quicksands, with the added horror of the man penned in a cavern of the'sea by the risig tide. Tiefenbach faced the don-. Ide in a lonely pond-throughout the night As his body was slowly suck ed downard into the soft, yielding mud his progress toward death was measured by the rise of the water to ward his mouth and nostrils until he could count ahead the minute and seconds left him to iive. Tiet'enbach went to Catlin's pond, near Harwinton, for, a night of fish ing. He was alone, and at that time ot night there was no one in the neigh borhod. He rowed out to the south ern end of the pond, where the wat er is shallow and the bottom is cover ed with a soft ooze several feet thick. \bout 9 o'clock., while Tiefenbach was standing in the boat, a patched place In the bottom gave way, and Tiefen buch ; through, his feet imbedding themselves in the slime. The boat sank quickly, and Tiet'en bach. feeling himself being drawn down, struggled .ujiidl jie managed to et his feet "out of the mud. which was acting like quicksand, and upon the bottom of the sunken ..boat.. ...But the boat also quickly filled with mud. again entrapping him, and the craft began to sink slowly into the mud. Tiefenbach soon discovered that, any struggle on his part made the boat sink quicker, and that, his only hnce was to stand still, with the hope that the "boat would reach solid oqt tom. or that daylight would bring some one to his assistance. For hour upon hour Tiefenbach stood, while his body ?was slowly but surely drawn further and further own. He could tell by th< rise of the water upon his body that he was sink ing deeper and deeper, and as the interminable night wore on it ?be came of an hour or two. then of minutes, until the horrible death which had threatened so long should overtake him. The man was frozen with horror when the water reached his chin, just as day began to break. Gradually the water rose until it reached his lower lip. and he had to tilt his head back to keep it from go ing into his month. He felt it rise until his lace alone was out of water, and then it was day, and with a last despair ig cry he shouted loudly for help. Two farmers heard the screams of Tiefebach and arrived at the pond just in time to save him from drown ing. They reaclvd him in another boat, and by heroic work released his hody from the mud and brought him I ashoiv. It will he many days before! Tiefenbach recovers from bis expe-j rience.
