The boys were put through the skirmish drill and several hundred rounds were fired at an im- | aginary enemy. The Millheim band gave an open al concert in the evening, which was most pleasing. The band is one of the best in the county and we cannot speak too highly of its merits. The concert was of about one hour duration. At dusk the fireworks were put off which elosed the programme for the day. In substance it was the largest day Centre Hall ever had. The crowd would have been much larger had the railroad company placed excursion tickets on sale and provided sufficient accommodation. Many remained away owing to the high rates of fare charged.

They went out on the roof and hauled up the hose with ropes to the first story of the tow- er on the east and south sides of the warehouse. Others rushed up the spiral stairway to the landing next to the blazing top and lowered ropes on three sides to the men below to attach the hose to. Until thistime the fire resembled the flaming mouth of a small blast furnace, and at a distance there seemed to be no danger menacing those brave men at work hundreds of feet in the air. The experienced eye of Chief Murphy, in command of the World's Fair Fire Department, failed to suspect any risk to his men, when he ordered them to go up to the tower below the blaze. But he sent nearly all of them to death, the horror and agony of which no human tongue or pen can describe. Those few moments of re- alization that flames surrounded them above and below, followed by their last act in life, must have been as an eternity of hell to every soul. A sixteen foot ladder was placed from the first section of the tower to Iasnding on which the men were, but no one thought of running a big ladder from the main roof to the tower so as to connect with the small ladder, Without a thought of the fale which was soon to overtake them, the thirty odd men outside the tower were at work on the east and south sides.
