Some Events of the Day on the West
Side of the Citv Xotcil.
THE DEATH OP GEOKGE SEAL
IIo Was a Well-Know n Resident of This
Part of th City-William Oakley is
Still Missing from His Home.
Minor News Notes.
George Seal thu well-known milk
dealer of this Bide, died at an early hour
yesterday morning at his home on
North Keyser avenue, after a few
weeks illness. Deceased was 54 years
of age and was born In Sussex county,
England, In 1840. He came to this coun
try In 1869 and Immediately embarked
in the farming business on. his present
large farm on Keyser avenue. Mr.
Seal had a very large milk business,
and furnished the majority of families
on the West Side with the lacteal fluid.
He was good-natured and generous,
and was always ready to assist those
in distress. Mr. Seal was a member
wltrh Hyde Park lodge, No. 339. Free
and Accepted Masons; Court Pride of
Lackawanna, Ancient Order of For
esters; Lodge No. 306, Knights of
Pythias; Mingo tribe, Improved order
of Red Men, and Sons of St. George.
A wife and the following children sur
vive him: William, Ueorge, Lizzie,
Thomas, David, Jennie and Abraham
Seal. The funeral will take place to
morrow afternoon under the direction
of the lodges from the home at 1 o'clock
and at the Jackson Street Baptist
church at 2 o'clock services will be
held. Interment will be made in the
Washburn Street cemetery.
Oakley Still Missing.
The disappearance of William Oak
ley, of Price street, a driver at the cash
store of Joseph A. Mears, on South
Main avenue, is yet a mystery. Oakley
left his home on Sunday to visit friends
at Rendham and intending to return on
the same day. If his wife had not been
ill she would have accompanied him,
According to the Investigation it was
found .that Oakley did not visit his
relatives and his whereabouts cannot
be learned. He was not addicted to
drink, nor had any disturbance at his
hm or with his employer, Mr. Mears.
Before leaving he directed Mr. Parry,
a janitor at the Mears' building to
. care for the horses until his return. At
first his family suspected that foul
play had been done, but now it seems
) more plausible that Mr. Oakley
' changed his mind about the visit and
they will probably hear from him
soon.

FIERCE WESTSiBE FIRE
Three Men Burned by an Explosion
of benzine In u Cellar.
GOOD 0KK OP THE FIREMEN
Chocked tho Progress of Flames and
I'rcvonted Fntiro Destruction of the
ltuildiugs Amounts of Losses
and the Insurance Carried.
TJy the exertions of the fire companies
tho handsome buildings ut Main avenue
and Jackson street, West Side, were
esterdny morning saved from total de
struction.
The lire originated In a cellar of the
building occupied by Johns Bros., hard
ware dealers. A pile of oakum packing
hud been left In u corner, ami one of
the employes of the store, after light
ing a lamp, threw a match Into the ln
llummuble material. Sometime later
the lire was discovered and nn alarm
was sounded about 10 o'ciock, wnicn
was responded to by the Columbia and
Frauklin companies.
The tire, however, made such head
way that a special call was Bent to the
Hook and Ladder company, and after
It was discovered that the neighboring
stores were In danger, a second alaiwit
was sounded, which brought up the
Chemical engine, tho Eagle and Nay
Aug companies.
In the meantime tho tire had crept
Into the cellar belonging to B. G. Mor
gan's drug store, and smoke filled the
police Btutlon on Jackson street and
the general store of J. F. Eynon & Co.,
on Main avenue, and the next building,
oocupled by Mrs. Decker as a drug
store.
Above Mr. Morgan's store Dr. T. M.
Seiulerllng occupied a suite of rooms,
which were tilled with smoke,' Issuing
from the basement. Mrs. Senderling
was overcome and had to be carried
out.
I xrioslon of Bcnzlno.
By noon the store of Messrs. Johns
had been reduced to a wreck and the
floor gave way. but by this time the
flames had been controlled and the
fire companies were preparing to leave
when Chief Ferber and a few of the
men went to the cellar where the fire
originated, to ascertain If the streams
of water had finished their work. One
of the llreman lit a match and threw It
Into the water. Instantly an explosion
was heard, and flames rushed through
tho windows of the cellar, over the
sidewalk. The explosion was caused by
the benzine which hud esciiped from a
barrel and was floating on the water.
Chief Ferber cave orders to the men
to withdraw Immediately, but three of
them, Marvine Steinbaek, of the
Franklins: James George, of the Phe-
nlx chemical engine, and Frank Mc
Donough, a plumber employed by
Messrs. Johns, were severely scorched
by the flames in making their escape.
In order to reach the sidewalk they
were compelled to rush through the
flames. A number of men were In the
store above when the explosion oc
curred, and had boarded up the dls-
mantled doorway, and, to make their
escape, had to break down the partition
and run the gauntlet of the flames; they
escaped more fortunately than the men
In the collar, although they ran a serl
ous risk in being situated- above the
flaming mass.
The wounds or the three men were
dressed by Dr. Reynolds, and Engineer
George was taken to the Lackawanna
hospital.
The remainder of the men faught gal
lantly with the. fire, but were com
pelled to devote their energies to pro
tecting the buildings, as tho streams of
water appeared to have no effect on
the blazing oil. At 1.43 p. m. the fire
was extinguished after almost four
hours' incessant battling.
Losses by tho l ire.
The exterior of the buildings lire prac
tic-ally uninjured, tho bulk of the dm
are being to the goods and fixtures in
side. The buildings In which Morgan's
drug store and Johns' hardware store
are situated are owned by B. Li. Mor
gun, who carries a large Insurance with
tho Cambrian Mutual Fire Insurance
company. The new flooring and other
structural urrangements nt Johns1
hardware store will be the chief claims
upon this company.
The loss upon the stock at the hard
ware store will, however, be'oniplete,
ns practically nothing was saved. The
stock was valued at $4,000 and Is but
partially covered by Insurance.
In H. G. Morgan's drug store the chl
loss will bo the destruction of $1,000
worth of wall paper in the cellnr, which
was divided from the cellar where tho
fire originated by a partition of thin
boards, nnd also tho complete loss o
the contents of the stock room on the
first floor. Mr. Morgan carries an In
surance of $;l,000 on his stock with the
Mechanics', Aurora and Merchants'
companies, of which D. J. Kvans Is
local agent.
Mr. Morgan expressed himself ns n
very fortunnte Individual yesterday, ns
the main body of the fire was separated
but by the thin partition from a consid
erable qunntlty of oils, varnishes and
other Inlliimninble-froocls, which. If they
had shared in the coiiflngutlon, would
have resulted In thr- total destruction
of ono of Ihe handsomest structures on
the West Side. Mr. Morgan nlso car
ries nn Insurance on Ills stock of $1,000
with the North British nnd Mercantile
company, nnd $1,000 with the Pennsyl
vania Fire company.
In I'.yiton and Company's Store.
In tho store of G. F. Eynon and com
pany, which Is situated next to tho
hnrdware store, a large stock of gro
ceries, molasses, lumps, baskets, etc.,
was ruined by the flow of water, und a
considerable quantity of dry goods will
be rendered unfit for snle owing to the
effects of the smoke which filled the
building. The loss will bo covered by
an Insurance of $1,750 with the Frank
lin company, nd $1,750 with the United
States Fire company.
At Mrs. Decker's drug store It Is an
ticipated that the loss caused by the
flow of water will bo covered by $100,
which Is completely covered by Insur
ance. Considerable damage was caused
to the furniture owned by Dr. F. M.
Senderling, who curries an Insurance
of $1,200 with the Franklin company.
A largo number Interested In the
properties and goods threatened by the
flro complimented Chief Ferber upon
the creditable manner in which his de
partment prevented the spread of the
flames, and avoided what was feared
would have been a most disastrous fire.
Upon Inquiry at the Lackawanna
hospital last night Engineer Oeorgo
was reported to be resting comfort
ably, and his early recovery was an

TO our patrons:
Wushhurn-Croaby Co. wish to assure their many paN
rons t tint tlicy will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tako
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully threu
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail ot milling has
placed Wushburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
