When Bioomsburg woko up on Tuesday motntng neatly all tho Inhabitants wtro surprised to hear that there hid been a flro luring tho night. About half past twelve as Watchman Hower passed Dentler's storo hu smelled smoke but saw no fire. He gave an alarm, and the Friendship lioso carriage was soon nn hand. Hose wns attached to the plug nt the corner of Vlnln nnd Centre and a stream was turned Into F. P. Hill, meyel's law olllce, front room, second floor, where by this llmo flames appeared- The Hook nnd Ladder truck was tut on hand, and it was Impossible to tell in what part ot the room the tiro was. As tho wa ter was thrown tlirough tlio front window from the ground the Humes did nut appear to diminish, and It was soon evident that the stream did not lilt the right spot. By this time tlio truck was brought out, and a ladder put up to tho window, when it wns discovered that tlio labia In tlio ccntro of the nnm was on lire and the flames hud communicated with the floor. The hose was carried up into the hall, the door burst open, and In a very few moments tho fire wis extinguished, nnd what might have been a disastrous conflagration was pre vented. Tho Winona hose carriuiro was second on the ground, nnd hose attached to the plug at tho corner of Main and Mark ct, but the plug was broken in the effort to turn on water, and no stream could bo ob tained, Fortunately, it wns not needed. Tlio lire Is supposed to havo originated In a wooden spittoon ucir tho table. Mr. Bilbneyer Is secretary of the School Fur. nishlng Co , and a number of hands were paid in the olllce, on Monday evening. It Is supposed that snmo ono threw cigar stump, or burning tobacco from n plpo Into the spittoon which was partly filled with saw dust,and that this smou'dcrcd until mid night when It acquired sufficient headway to set tlru to the table. Tho tablo was en tirely burned up, with all thu books and papers on It, nnd a hole burned through the floor, all of Mr. Billmeyer's law books were burned, and the largo stock of boots nnd shoes In Dentler's store badly damaged by water. The stock nnd building were in sured, but the damage has not yet been as certained. Tne celling of tho store will hav" lo b" entirely ipiostered If tho fire had not been discovered when it was. Dentler's building, Knorr& Winter, stein's, Itnwlings', tlio Coi.u.miiian office, McKlnny's, possibly the Exchange Hotel, and there is no telling how many more business places, would have been destroy, ed. The night was clear and cold, and there was no wind, but the Insufllclen. cy of hose would not have permitted more than three streams of water, and tills would have been entirely inadequate, hud the fire got u good start. It took all the hose of the Friendship, four hundred feet, to get one stream on the building. The Wlnonas might have put two streams in play, if the plug could tiayo been opened. This would have taken the two nearest plugs, ni d tho Hookies could not have readied tho tiro from the next nearest plug. The town council should ut ouco procure more hose. No bells wcro rung, because there was no one out who cmld get into the court house, or any of the churches, and there were but few cries of fire, so that not over fifty people knew of It until morning. This is a bad time of year for a fire to break out, and the lire companies should keep themselves in readiness for n hard fight nt auy time. Since writing the above we have learn ed the following additional facts. The ta bte In Billmeyer's olilce'.belonged to M. F. Lyerly. Until Mr. Billmeyer and Mr. Eycr. ly lost many valuable papeis on which there was no insurance, nnd which cannot be replaced. They were tho mlnuta book of the Board of Trade, minutes of the Normul School Irustees.receipts and bills of the School Furnishing- Compuuy.leltcr copy b'loks, nnd Mr. Eyerly's docket und papers count cted with his collection business, be. sides many miscellaneous papers. Mr Dentler's loss on tlio building was about 4;i00, and on his stock $1,000. It was fully covered by insurance and tho losses were promptly adjusted by Frcns Brown's agency. The Itcatli AiikcI. EMMA II. NEAL. On Saturday, tho 8th Inst , at 5 o'clock In the afternoon, Emma IL, wife of Clin ton W. Neal, breathed her last, after an ill ness of nearly two weeks. On Sunday, December 20, while preparing to go to church, she was suddenly seized with a se vere pain in the head and neck She had long been subject to neuralgic headaches, but this attack she pronounced different from anything she had suffered previously. She continued to grow worse, an eminent physician from Philadelphia was sum mnned, and he, in consultation with local physicians pronounced tho disease spinal cerebo meningitis, and gave no hopes for her recovery. After much suffering she passed away. Mrs. Neal was a daughter of the late Win. Snyder, ami sister of Mrs. F. P. Bill meyer. She was a woman of many ad mirable qualities, and was beloved by all who kaew her. Domestic in habit, her life was devoted to her husband, her children, and her homo She wns a devout Chriotlun, and an earnest member of the Reformed church. Her death is a terrible allliction to those to whom she was so near and dear, and a pall of gloom spread over tho entire community when it was kuowu that she had breathed her last. The fuucinl took place at the house on Tuesday afternoon, tlio services being con ducted by ltev. Mr. Bridenbaugh, and the high estimation in which she was held was exhibited by the very lurgo attendance of relatives und friends. She will long be remembered in a model wife and mother, a true l hiistian, nnd devoted friend, Peace to her ashes, I'ETKlt mtCOLElt. After a long ami painful illness Peter Brugler died at his homo on Third street on Thursday morning of.last week, aged 05 yearf. For several years Mr. Brugler hsd been In failing health. Ho visited New York about a ear ago to consult a physi cian there, but received no encouragement. Hu was able to bo up and walk about tin. ill tho last few weeks. Tho funeral was largely attended at the house on Monday morning und tho services consisted of dis courses by Itevs. Kiddle und Yoctm, und a prayer by ltev. Brittain. Mr. Brugler was a good citizen, a quiet and unobtrusive man, a consistent mem. bcr of the M. E. Church and au indulgent husband and father, Hu leaves u widow and three children to mourn his loss.

S(H;inainaIifr'f5. rniLtrisLriiu, January II, Igsj. Our Great Sale swings into its second week with increased momentum. You who have bought have told the good news of Low Prices to your friends. They have come, seen and bought, and then told to others, who in turn have joined the great throng of buyers. No one who comes fails to be surprised. The half has rarely been told them. How could it be ? We have been able to tell you ol the bargains at only a part of the counters. And even if we could what would be a today would not be all tomor row. New lots are being con tinually opened and added to wnat is leit ot tnose oeiore shown. It's the great, overshadowing Wholesale that does this. Its goods are pressing to get on the counters of almost every part of the Retail. That's why our goods are always so fresh. It isn't the rag, tag of old accumtt lation that clamors to get out; it's a brand new stock that clamors to get in. This clamoring will go on tin til an equilibrium has been re stored until we are able to fitly handle the Wholesale. When we have secured the additional room needed we shall stop the Special Sale and prices will again find their usual and proper level. You will see in the next col unin another long list of Ladies' Wrap and Dress prices. From the prices alone you can get no just idea of the values. You need to hold the garments in vour hands; to feel the texture of the cloth, to look at the fin ish, to consider the cut, the style, before you can fully un derstand the merit of the goods, Then look at the price tag, Often you can see on it the other and hitrher figures which have been marked out. When the goods were first ticketed the prices represented but a fair profit a Wanamaker profit on cost. See where the cutting down has taken it to ! Think of a jacket for $ i . And a fair jacket too. Of course it tsn t in all ways an unexcep tional garment; the price wouldn't be there if it were, But where else can you find such a dollar's worth ? Try to make it and see where the cost will come to. Many a stitch, many a button, not a little cloth good trimmings, and we sell it for$i. Better garments better prices; but great value in any of them. That's one extreme. Look here where French taste and French skill have gone hand in hand on the same work ! The knife that cuts prices has been at them too. And such slices as have been taken off ! Im ported garments for much less than the same grade of domes tic goods could be had for. We've told you before of these Wraps and Jackets and Dresses, and you've taken many hun dreds of them since the salt began. Some lines and styles are gone, others are down to small assortments; all are going fast. You arc not always ' wise if you buy what you don't need or may not soon want; but there is small chance that you will soon again see the time when there would be greater excuse for do ing so than now. Parties living at a distance should bear in mind that individ uals or clubs Irom any point within a radius of one hundret miles, who buy on a single bill une nunureel uoiiars or over will have express charges to des dilation prepaid; and furniture or bulky house furnishing goods will be forwarded by freight pre paid.

MI1XER, UNITED Ut.00.MMIl' KG, Every Lady has a natural pride in her table and next to a good meal, which is an estab lished necessity to keep the man of the house in a good humor, comes the adornment of the ta ble. In this respect handsome silver ware has no equal and the great decline in prices has placed in it the reach of all. Owing to the great demand for reliable goods, we have recently added to our stock a large line of Rodgers quadruple plated ware. Tea sets, Uutter dishes, Table casters, Pickle casters, Syrup cups, Cake baskets, Uerry dishes, Card stands, Ice pitchers, Cups, Individual casters, Napkin rings, Table, Dessert and Tea spoons, Knives and Forks, Fruit knives and Nut Picks, in plain, ivory and pearl handles with and with out cases, in such a variety of patterns we cannot fail to suit you. In selecting our stock our aim is to buy the best goods, , such as we can warrant just as j we represent them. We buy I direct from the factory and sell ' as low as the oualitv will ner- ;t r ti, nlnrl. mlt- u L arc. not ln. ,lllL; mark. et for Competition With low pn- i ,1 i,, ,:ii -..c,,A ,l,.

Owing to the high reputation of the genuine Rodgers ware, unscrupulous dealers are continually resorting to fraudulent methods to sell their wares under the name of Rodgers and parties running through thecountry peddling, representing themselves as tra veling for Rodgers, are simply impostors' and their wares cheap trash. Rodgers sell only to deal ers and only such goods as bear thetrade marks are genuine, if you know them all right, if not you are the party they are hunt; ing for. A small piece of gum camphor placed with your silver will help to prevent its tarnish ing. A little cleaning with a sil ver brush and Rodgers Diamon dine will remove all spots.
