Throo Story Building on North

by Flro Victor Burscholl Moots
with a Serious Accident Wb.Ho
Fighting: tho Blnzo Dr. E. P.
Cnrty's Narrow Escnpo Childron's
Day Was Generally Observed Yes
terday Other Notes.
Smoke was discovered Issuing from
Timothy Bolund's three-story frame
building, located on North Blnkely
street, a few steps front tho corners,
yesterday morning about 3.30 o'clock.
An alarm was promptly turned In and
In n few moments tho Neptune com
pany was on tho spot nnd had a
stream of water turned on tho build
ing. The flro wns found to bo In tho
top of the building near the roof and
the firemen found the greatest diffi
culty In reaching It. No thirty-foot
ladders aie In the possession of the
fire department nnd there seemed for
awhile no possible way of scaling the
roof.
The Independent company soon nr
rlved nnd upon the blowing of a. sec
ond alarm the Electric company was
soon on the scene. Through the ef
forts of the companies some progress
was made In stopping tho dense vol
umes of smoko when tho roof was
finally gained. It was nearly three
houis, during which the firemen stub
bornly fought the flames before the
fro was virtually under control, nnd
the building was then a wreck. The
top portion Is a charred black mass,
the first floor remaining Intact but
badly damaged by water.
Tho building was empty and had
been unoccupied for nearly two years.
Formerly the llrst floor, was used an
n storo-room, while tho second lloor
wns us3d as a hall for various meet
ings. Tlie structure presented a very
good appearance and was located
among other properties which would
have suffered but for the promp.t no
tion of the firemen. Tho loss will
amount to about $5,000, covered by in
surance. Tho origin of tho fire wnB
plainly Incendiary.
Ylctor Burjchell, while chopping
through tho tin roof of tho building
with an axe came down on a piece of
ragged tin which struck his wrist and
hand, fearfully cutting nnd tearing
that member. He was hurried to
Ludwlg's drug store, where Dr. Brown
dressed tho Injury, which will disable
Mr. Burscholl for some time. Almost
nt the sumo time of Mr. Burschell's
accident, Fireman Krnus staggered
into Ludwlg's pharmacy, apparently
overcome from breathing tho smoko.
I'pon ronchlngi the entrance ho faint
ed nnd it took the services of Dr.
Brown nnd several assistants to bring
him to. b
The handsome wagon of the Nep
tune company was badly damaged
while making tho trip to the flro.
When the permanent man of the hoso
rooms reached the plug at tho corner
of Bloom nnd North Blnkely street,
he stopped his team and lenvlng the
driver's seat attempted to make tho
coupling. Just nt this moment the
team and flro wagon of tho Indepen
dent company came dashing up with
tho bell clanging. The horses of tho
Neptune company became frightened
and made a dash down Bloom street.
Dr. E. P. Cnrty was trying to assist
in coupling the hose, being directly in
front of the scared animals, and for
a moment It looked as though tho
horses and the heavy chemical wagon
would pass over him.
The wagon, however, swayed to ono
side and tho heavy Iron gearing struck
the plug, bringing tho horses to a step
nnd giving Dr. Carty time to get out
of tho way.
As a result of tho nccldent tho Nep
tune company will bo out of service
for -several days. Tho heavy tongue
I; broken off at the wagon and tho
Iron step nnd springs on the right
side of tho wagon nadiy bent nnd
sprained. Taking all the occurrences
nnd nccldents of yesterday morning's
lire Into consideration more excite
ment was caused In the borough thun
has happened In some time. ,
IN THE CHURCHES YESTERDAY.
Yesterday was generally observed as
Children's day at the various churches
of the borough. The morning service
was given over to the pupils of tho
Sunday school and excellently nrrangod
programmes of recitations, readings
nnd music wero given. Tho singing
was especially good. Tho decorations
this year were most beautiful, artistic
designs being followed out In decorat
ing several of the churches.whlle every
where sweet-smelling flowers mingled
with palms and ferns made a pleasing
background for tho eye.
Dr. A. J. Vnn Cleft preached last
evening In the Methodist Episcopal
church on "The Bells," a sermon In
tended for tho little folks nnd which
was highly plenslng to them.
Rev. J. B. Dnbney preached his In
itial sermon In tho Tripp Avenue Chris
tian church yesterday evening. A Inrge
audience greeted him. Rev. Dabney Is
a pleasing speaker nnd will doubtless
make his influence felt in the borough.
"What and Where Is Hell" was tho
subject of Rov. J. L. Kroamer's dis
course In tho Dudley Street Baptist
church last evening. The subject was
fully dwelt on and was listened to by
a large audience.
In the Presbyterian church, Rev. W.
F. Gibbons preached last evening on
"The Religion of Superstition."
