A little before twelve o'clock Mon
day morning clouds of black smoke
were seen issuing from Nathan Snydor'i
large planing mill along the canal in
Franklin township, and a few minutes
later a bright, lurid flame shot from th
gabol end of the mill, soon spreading
its entire length and enveloping the
building iu (lames. The greatest ex
citemeut prevailed the wind blowing
northward threatening the destruction
of the whole village. A few minutes
from the time the fire was first dis
covered two streams of water wore
playing ou it from the steam pump
connected with the mill, nnd a little
later Joseph Obert's portable pump
engine was on tho scene with a score of
willing hands to work her. Tills,
practically, saved the destruction of
the village, and Mr. Obort can not be
too highly praised for tho quick
manner iu which the machine wa!i
placed at tho fire. The flames soon
spead to the lumber sheds, then to the
stables of Aaron Snyder and Joseph
Ruoh, sweeping everything in its way
with devouring flendishness. Several
times Snyder's big store building and
residence was on Are but a steady
stream of water from Obert's machine
soon quenched it. The wind now
shifting more to the east sent the
spa rks whirling in that direction and
soon the cry of fire issued from there,
and just at this time the steamer from
Mimoh Chunk were unloaded from the
crks and rnn to the scene where they
soon had things In control, but not
uu til Daniel Olewlne's frame residence,
occupied by John Nothstein, was
ruined. The men worked like trojans
at the pump and only quit when ex
haustion compelled them too, and so
with the bucket brigado men fell
prostrated while carrying water to the
littleportable pump that has twice saved
Franklin and has doubly earned the
namo of "Franklin's Salvator."
Tho Snyder mill was one of the
largest in this section of tho state, be
ing of framo two and a half stories
high, 45x165 feet in dimonslons. It
was fitted up with all the latest im
proved machinery and tho storage room
ontalned thousands ot dollars worth
of finished work. In the three luinbor
sheds destroyed with contents wore
pilod 250,000 feet of unfinished material.
Mr. Snyder's loss is not much less than
360.000. The mill was uninsured. Josiah
Ruoh's stable, burned, no insurance;
Aaron Snyder's stable, together with
contents, burnod,no insurance; Kuch'e
