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

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.

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,

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.

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

getting new goods every week,
which we take pleasure in hav

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

will help to prevent its tarnish
