X Horrid Death.
On Tuesday last tt Mr. Garret B. Fuller
of Stroud township, was working about tho
machinery of his mill at Kunkletown, his
clothing caught, when he was drawn into
the works and maugled to death. When

vestige of clothing, wos lying some five feet
from the shaft around which he was twirled.
An examination revealed the fact that bis
neck, shoulder and both legs were broken
the upper portion of hit head mashed, and
his face and body covered with bruises.
Portions of his clothing were found wrapped
tight around the shafting. Hit death wa.
instantaneous. Mr. Fuller leaves a wife and
three childrcu, the joungett 14 yeart of nee,
to mourn hit untimely and horrid end. Mr,
Fuller wat a quiet, inoffensive and excel
lent citisen, tud hit death will be heard
of with regret by hit many friends through
out the county. He was about 43 years of
age. Lewit Myers, or this borough, while

Destructive riro.
About eight o'clock Wednesday evening a
bright light was seen in the sky, in the di
rection of Audenried, and the reflection of a
large fire was plainly aparent lo all who
saw it, It continued for nearly two hours,
and tho breaker whistles could be heard
giving tho signal of distress. Seycral jar
ties from town drove over to ascertain the
location, but did not return until a late hour.
The fire was discovered to bo tho lareo store
building containing all the general offices of
Messrs. E. B. Leisenriug 1- Co., of Auden
ried, in addition to an iramenso stock of
goods and tho bed roomt ot clerks. The
entire structure, which was frame, and the
largest owned by any coal company in this
region, was completely destroyed, burned
down tc the grouud. There is no organiza
tion there for protection from fire, and but
a short supply of water, so that tho prosjiect
for extinguishing fires iu that village are
very poor, in fact hojiclcss. Tho fire is sup
posed to havo originated from a defective
Hue, as when discovered, it was iu one of
the rooms on the second lloorofthe building.
The people turned out and worked like
beavers to savo the valuable books of tho
company, stock in the store and furniture,
and Buccoded in saviug a great amount. The
moot important books were saved, but very
little of the stock in tho .tore. The clerks,
who room in the building, lost heavily of
their personal cilbcts. Il'iu, L. Bayley, we
learn lost everything buttheclotbiug on his
back, his los will Probably reach $350. 11.
C. Tuylor, lust of clothing and Harry Rcets,
mining engineer, lost all of bis surveying
instruments. The loss to the company it
heavy, as the building alone cost $10,000,
aud was only insured fur $j,000. Tha loss
toMeurs. E. B. Ayres A Co., ou stock in
store it otiuuled at $15,000 f Insurance

a great drawback on their business. The
store goodt which were saved were taken to
Hosack Hall where the business will be con
ducted fir tho present, until the rebuilding
of tho proKrty.
Dunug tlu fire a number of guns, which
were kept iu the store, exploded, but done
