FIRL5 AT DURYRA.
An Inccmlinrv Attempt to Hum Down
the Procmim Mock.
rittston, July 14. Duryoa came near
liavlns; n lilK conllagiutlon at an early
hour this iiiumlng. Had not one of the
Inmates of the building been awake at
the time and discovered the lire the
largest block In the town would un
doubtedly have been burned to the
ground and possibly several lives lost.
The llanifs were clearly of Incendiary
origin.
The damaged building Is owned by S.
J. Freeman, of this city, and Is located
almost opposite the Simpson & Wat
kins' store. It is a two-story struc
ture containing live store rooms. The
fire originated In the cellar of the store
occupied by a cigar manufacturer
named Sncath. It must have been
burning for some time when Jlrs. Grim
shaw, who wns up at the time, was
warned of a fire by the smell of smoke
In the house. She- Immediately awoke
her husband and he In turn aroused
the neighbors. A hose from Simpson &
"Watklns' store was procured and the
Dairies were soon got under control.
Prior to this, however, the smoke had
gained an entrance Into the sleeping
apartments of several of the inmates
of the building and when friends went
to apprise them of their danger they
were found In a suffocating condition
and unable to take care of themselves.
After being removed from the building
nil soon recovered.
The damage to the building Is not
great, and Is confined principally to the
cellar.

THE DISGUSTED TEXAN.
His Patriotism Wns Ardent, but It
Hnd n Prnctlcnl Aspect.
"No, Mr. President." said Colonel
Bill Snort, of Texas, "I am not per
sonally ambitious! I am only ambi
tious for the country's good. I want to
see her occupy that position among
the nations of the world to which her
greatness entitles her. And, if I am
fortunate enough to obtain what I seek,
I pledge myself to do all I can in that
direction."
'Do you understand, Colonel," re
plied McKlnley with a quaint smile,
"that there Is no salary attached to
the oftlce to which you aspire?"
"No what? No salary?"
"Not a cent."
"Then the blankety blank office can
go to thunder," replied the patriotic
Texan as he strode out of the Blue
Room. Tammany Times.
