FIRE AT PROVIDENCE.
It Destroyed Property to tho Value of
$H,J00-No Reasonable Cause Given for
Origin of Fire.
The fire early yesterday mornlne- de.
stroyed the Acme meat market and
dwelling apartments of S. E. Akerly
and Charles Thomas, on North Main
avenue. Providence. The buildings
were next to the Ready Pay store oppo
site the square. The fire was discov
ered about 2.45 a. m., and the Liberty
and Niagara Hose companies promptly
responded, followed In a short time by
the Excelsior and Cumberland Hnsn
companies. The building, a frame one,
was in names when the firemen arrived.
and Mr. Akerly and family experienced
mucn tumcuity in making their escape.
Clark Conrad, who was sleeping In the
front bedroom, owes his escane from
death to the brave conduct of Officer
Palmer, who rushed Into the burning
building, found Conrad and succeeded
In getting him out of danirer.
All the household sroods and clothing
were destroyed. The fire spread so
rapidly that a second alarm was
sounded, which brought the General
Phlnney company from Green Ridge to
the assistance of the other companies.
In the rear of Mr. Akerlv's tiremlaeu
was a two-story dwelling occupied by
Charles Thomas and his famllv. This
was speedily caught by -the flames and
no tim was given for the family to
save any of the household effects.
M. E. Church Damaged.
Although the Methodist Episcopal
church Is twenty-flve feet from the
scene of conflagration the stalned-glnss
wlndowB were broken, and other
damage was done to the amount of
$500. Thanks to the efforts of the fire
men the edifice was saved from destruc
tion.
The loss to Mr. Akerly on his store
fixtures, stock and household goods will
exceed $2,000, on which he has Insurance
of $1,200. Two hundred dollars In bills
and some cash In the register were
also, lost, some of the cash being found
In the ruins yesterday morning. The
firemen discovered two ladles', gold
watches and a sum of $3C and Important
papers In Mr. Conrad's vest in the room
which he had occupied.
Mr. Thomas, who occupied the rear
building, sustains a heavy loss and has
no Insurance whatever. Dr. Henry
Roberts, of Towanda, Is the owner of
the building, and his loss Is estimated
at about $4,000, which la. partly covered
by insurance. No satisfactory reason
can be given for the cause of the fire.
A fire was left In the office st6ve when
the store was closed, but the usual pre
cautions were taken to ensure the
J safety of the place.
