Gave His Life to Save Girls.

Philadelphia, June 9.—William McAllister, a flagman on the Cumberland street crossing of the Philadelphia and Reading railway, gave his lire to save three girls from death. McAllister noticed two mill girls stop to talk to a third between the rails. At the same time he heard the roar of an approaching train. He sprang forward and threw them out of harm’s way. He was too late to escape the train himself.
