LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENfER, SATURDAY, JA1WARY 15, 1881.
nuc which was owned by 31iss Fanny
Sheltz and occupied by "William Campbell
as a cigar factory, was destroyed by fire.
The fire was discovered" shortly after 0
o'clock ; an alarm was immediately given,
and the Humane lire company was r.oen en
the ground. The fir&t two plugs which
they attempted te open were found te be
frozen but the third was all right. A
stream was seen playing en the ihc,
but it was tee late, and the building
with its contents was almost entirely de
stroyed. 200 empty cigar boxes, 400
pounds of tobacco, 3 cigar presses and
4,000 cigar moulds were burned. This
stjck was owned by 3Ir. Campbell and
the insurance en it was $450. That will
probably cover the less. The building
was insured for $150.
Hew the fire originated is net known.
When it was discovered Mr. Campbell and
family were at church. There was a stove
in the building, which had a fire, in it and
the fire may have staitcd from that.
RESIST MONOPOLY.
TUK CITY l.A!lS NOT LIGHTED.
Complaints from all Quarters Gas Hills
Heavy "All tneSamc."
One of the duties of the city police ofli efli ofli
eers is te report te the chief of police, once
a week, the condition of the lamps in the
several wards and the number of them
that are unlit. The report made this
morning shows that net half of the gas
lamps were burning last night. Officer
"Weitzel, of the First ward, says eight or
ten were unlit in his ward. Officer Elias,
of the Seventh ward says that only
three gas lamns were burning in that ward
last night, and Officer Shay reports only
eight burning in the Eighth ward. Re
ports from ihc ethei-wards arc almost as
bad. The officers say that very frequently
tlin lnmnc fim lint. lierhlflll at all. allll that
many of them cannot be lighted because
they are frozen, or from ether cause. Xe
such complaints are made relative- te
the gasoline lamps, and s-cvcral of
the officers affirm that the latter give
a better light than the gas lamps.
These unfavorable repot ts, coupled
with the receut tumble at the gas works,
and the customary heavy gas bill, about
$1,500, recently pe.'.ented te the city, have
created quite a hubbub in official quarters,
and the mayor aud the lamp committee
are seriously ceiiMdciiug the question of
dispensing altogether with gas and sub
stituting gasoline instead. The chairman
of the lamp committee is pesitive that the
City would save money and get belter light
by making the change.
Jt will be. remembered that last f.ill the
city cOi"ncils gave permission te the gas
company te bave the street lamps put out
at midnight for the space of ten days, and
that an extension of time was granted them
te enable the company te make ionic nec
essary improvements. Fer mere Mian fifty
nights the gas was turned off at midnight,
instead of licing aliewed te burn until day
break, as the contract calls for ; and yet
when the company presented its bill te the
lamp committee it was for the sum if
about $1,500 the full amount, at $18 pir
lamp. The committee estimated that the
amount of gas saved te the company by
shutting off Jit midnight (even if all the
lamps had been lighted, which was net the
case) would be of the value of between
$300 aud $400, and they refused te pay the
bill. After a conference the gas company
agreed te deduct first $30 and then $100
from the bill, but this deduction, it is
said, is net at all satisfactory te the
finance committee and the authorities
gene-rally, and hence the talk of mbstHut
ing gasoline.
THE COASTING.
Larg Crowds Out Last Night Enjoying
the .Spert Acciileists en the Ice.
The rain of Thursday night and yester
day morning, covered the sti'eets with
slush and ice. When the "blizzard" came
enveslcrday afternoon, the streets were
frozen up again and they were left with1
thick coating of ice. The coasting is lirsi
class en the hills aud the crowds who en
joyed the sport last night were large. The
"largest number of persons was te be found
en the Chestnut street hill. There were
50 sleds of different kinds there, and there
were probably 200 or 300 people. There
were many very large sleds, some of which
iield from six te ten people. The hill was
in excellent condition. The start was made
at Charlette street and the sleds ran down
past Water street, making a slide of ever
two squares.
At this hill several slight accidents oc
curred during the evening, .lehn Weitzel,
seu of Casper Weitzel, was thrown from a
large sled and had his arm sprained. Col
lisions were frcqucut. In one of these one
jai--?e sled ran into another, en which were
ridiit".' two sisters, named respectively
Katie a,lu Annie Buskin, daughters of
Mrs TIiei.8 Luskin, residing at Ne. 1520
West Walim street. Se severe was the
shock of the collision that both girls had
their ankles badly" sprained, if net broken.
Kate was taken te the residence of Jehn
Sewers, West Walnut street, where she
beards, and Annie was taken te the resi
dence of her mother. This family bar,
been trebly unfortunate, as Mis JJuskiu
en Monday last, fell en the ice and sus
tained a concussion of the brant, from
which she still suffers.
Dinah's hill was also in line condition
last night, but as it is very steep it is the
most dangerous hill in the city, and per
sons wishing te slide would rather go te
safer hills. The crowd was small there
last night ; ether hills in the city had large
crowds.
The weather was very cold aud the
lookers-en who did net care te risk their
necks by "going" down' en the sleds
only kept warm with the greatest diffi
culty. It has been cold all day te-day aud
the coasting will be line te-night.
Yesterday Mrs. Eckert, residing with
her daughter Mrs. Weaver, Ne. 700 Seuth
Queen street, while walking in the yard
adjoining Jicr residence, slipped oil the ice
and fell breaking one of her arms.
This morning Mrs. Adam Myers, el
Seuth Beaver street, while en her way
home from market, fell en the icy pave
ment and injured her hip se severely that
she was unable te walk. She had te be
taken home where Dr. M. L. Hcrr at
tended her. , .
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Irank nanus,
residing at 421 Beaver street, slipped en
the ice and fell in rear of her residence,
very severely injuring her knees,- a"llJlen
dered her incapable of walking. Dr. Wei
chans attended her.

During the alarm of fire last evening as
the Friendship hose carriage was going
down Orange street, William Ilaldy, who
inherits in a large degree the paternal
feeling in regard te fire nutters, having
held of the tongue of the carriage, slipped
en the icy street and falling was dragged for
some distance, he retaining his held. As
it was, the wheel passed ever his beet, in
