covered by Aliirtiu Jleehan, nlsht

,11 the center part of the bleaker over
large machinery, which luid been tm

to Mike Kelly, another employe of the
breaker, whose work at night kept him
continually In the upper portion of the
breaker. Median then ran to the en
jjine room and blew tile whistle, sum

A number of Italians residing nearby
answered promptly but before their ar
rival the mammoth building was con
ceded to bi' beyond saving. Mechlin
had a streau of water playing on I lie

lie conlinuelt plying the water on the
blaze but the tire lleml was too power

stream nt llrst proved much benefit,
until the tlnmes found an egress from
their confined portion, and ascended
the stair case to the roof. The timbers
supporting the roof began to fall and
Meehan was forced to ilee to save him
self from being hit. lie curried ihe
hose with him as far as the door lead
ing to tlie step down the side of the
breaker, but was forced to drop it there
and make a hasty exit owing to the
heat and Hie falling timbers.
The flames quickly made their uny
to every portion of the breaker, and ill

Carbondale,
Tlie embers piled In it heap under the
breaker, and I ho sparks! caused by the
constant crashing, were wnftod 11 con
siderable distance. Directly under tho
north side of the breaker, ill the pock
els, were hundreds of tons of coal piled
1111 Hie track, nil In n red-hot lienp."
A number of large coal ears of Ihe
Kilo company on the switch, nenr Ihe
breaker, became Ignited and a message
was sent to the yard for an engine.
One soon arrived and was coupled on
to Ihe burning ears and they were
taken where a stream could be turned
on lliem. Five cars wore 111)1117.0 In all
parts, but considerable portions of
them were saved, urier the engine had
drawn them from the dnnger line.
At It o'clock the whole building was
a seething muss, and In the building
rapidly falling lu sections, large ma
chinery soon became loosened from
their supports and with loud, resound
ing force fell to the bottom, The fall
of the large coal screen, weighing sev
eral tons, was watched with Interest,
ns It fell from Ihe extreme top portion
of the building. Hurtling timbers be
neath It were unable to stand the
strain and fell with It.
Vov a few seconds It seemed as If the
entire building would fall In, ns a re
sult of Ihe large screen's rapid descent,
and the crowd ran out of danger to
surely line. One portion of the breaker
on the south side could not stand the
severe strain and. In the wake of the
monster piece of machinery, fell In.
The company men were working hero
ically in their efforts to save the ollico
building and two smalt buildings, and
at tVlfi had tlie Humes close to the build
ing under control, though they did not
relax their efforts until the burning
breaker had been devoured by the
llames and lay in a burning heap on
the ground.
The sparks and large embers being
propelled through the air caused much
anxiety to the company ofllcials. as the
powder house was but a. few hundred
yards away, hut a number of men con
tinually kept the place damp with the
aid of a bucket brigade. Another trip
of cars on a second switch was falling
rapidly a prey to the flames and men
were at once sent to run the cars out
of danger. The cars, six in number,
were run one by one to the oilier cars,
which were now saved from the llames
by the work of Ihe men. The breaker
Is one of the largest In this vicinity
and covers n considerable amount of
ground, il was formerly the properly
of the Simpson and Watkius company
and known as the Northwest breaker
until several months ago, when 11 be
came the property of Ihe Temple Coal
and Iron company. The amount of in
surance carried could not be learned.
How the lire started is a mystery.

John Henry's
Theofy.
They had been married barely a
mouth, and had returned from a three
weeks' honeymoon of unalloyed bliss
and settled down together In u cozy
little lint. It was pretty near the
clouds, und Instead of a nice veranda
or porch, or plaxa, they had to be
content with the lire escape. Hut
what of that. Dan Cupid is no re
specter of purses, nnd the little god
roamed ut will through the house
night nnd day and seemed perfectly
satisfied to remain Indefinitely. The
new wife was entirely happy In cuing
for the small rooms day sifter day ami
odmhing and arranging the pretty
wedding presents presented by loving
friends und relatives. And at night,
John Henry helped her wash the tea
dishes and then they sat out on that
fire escape, way above the dirt and
din of the city, and he smoked his ci
gar, while she told hlni all that hud
huppened during the day.
"Little girl," said her lord and mas
ter one evening. "I have some strong
notions about business principles being
applicable to every occupation in life.
You know I have a slated Income, and
when I was a bachelor I knew to n
penny where that money went. Very
convenient II was, too, for I was sure
what lo count on when any extra ex
pense came up, Now, I don't want to
restrict you one bit, but it's nice to be
exact and business-like, and if we
each kept a little necounl book, at Ihe
end of the year we'd know exactly
how much we'd spent and whether
we'd got lo retrench or might expand
a little. Now, tomorrow night I'll
bring home two nice little books, nnd
we'll uccount for every penny in tlvni
and compare nt the end of each
mouth."
The next evening, true to his word,
John Henry drew from his pocket two
pretty little leuilior-bound books, u
blue one for Airs. John und 11 red for
himself. She was apparently recon
ciled to the idea und wus really enthu
siastic over his purchase.
For several months all went very
smoothly apparently, but the hours of
tears and pouts and sobs and rubbings
out and writings lu again und adding
and subtracting which Airs. John spent
In trying to make the "received" and
"paid" columns balance were not to he
lost sight of in ihe reckoning. John
Henry knew nothing or It. and any
troubles he may have had were ex
pressed in an entirely different man
ner and audible only lo Ihe unrespon
sive ears of the olllce boy.
On the llrst evening of each month
Air. and Airs. John Henry, in perfect
mutual trust and coulldence, went over
together Item by item the accounts In
the little bocks and discussed the vari
ations lu the price of beefsteak and the
advisability of Intrusting another ven
der of meals with the care of the fam
ily larder. Also the cost of keeping
John Henry's cigar box replenished.
Hut Airs. John always ended by declar
ing she would go without a spring bon
net rather than have him smoke cheap
er tobacco.
"It Is so iujuilous anyway, that one
must have the best if one smokes at
all," she said.
One beautiful nutiiiuu duy an old
school friend of Airs. John's cuine 10
town and hnmedlutely hunted up Unit
lady. Now, Airs. John had intended to
lunch that day on a sup and a bite, for
Ihe giocer had not come and tie cup
board very nearly resembled tlie pro
verbial one of .Mother (loose fame. So
when the friend made her appearance
perilously near ihe noon hour Airs.
John wus lu a Mutter. This womuii
was one fur whom John Henry enter
tained a particular antipathy, and ulso
one upon whom .Mrs. John especlully
desired 10 make a good Impiesslou.
She exailllneil her purse. Yes, there
wus plenty lu It. She would take her
friend downtown to lunch ut 11 fash
ionable cole. As they were drinking
their uflor. dinner coffee the friend
mentioned a popular play which she
particularly desired to see. Had Airs.
John seen It'.' No, Airs, John had not.
John Henry had Intended to take her,
bin there hud been so many other
things to occupy the time. At the
friend's suggestion to see it that after
noon Airs, John meekly compiled, and
ended by buying two tickets Insieiul
of une, When they came ottl It was
raining', and life friend Immediately
ordered a carriage lo take her In the
station. Them was nothing for II but
Airs, John should dllvc to Hie .station
with her and then she must needs
drive huniu and pay ihe hill as she
alighted al her own door.
When Joint Henry arrived Hint night
Ids wife was In bed In a high fever and
suffering from a severe headache. The
next day when she was to hobble about
she go out the little blue note book
und with leais hUMciing the smooth
while pages vainly Hied 10 make a bal
ance. It was Impossible lo put Ihe
whole amount of yesterday's expendi
tures into ihe "sundries" column, and
tell John Henry about II she never
would lu the world. Thut evening was
the one for the monthly reckoning, but
bel'oio 0 o'clock, through worrying, llg
tiling and planning, Airs. John had
worked herself almost into hysteria.
After dinner John Henry smoked his
cigar, but contrary to custom said
nothing about the account books. His

wife looked at him wondeiingly from
time to time, but ho seemed utterly
unconscious. After a while she broke
the silence.
"John, dear," she said, with tears In
her voice, "t couldn't make my book
balance this month, though I've worked
over It nil the nfternoon."
John Henry muttered an exclama
tion under lis breath which might have
sounded to the ofllce boy something
like "Thank the Lord," then turned
and looked at her.
"And Is It that which has worked you
Into such a fever and given you these
headaches'."' said he. "To tell the
truth," he continued, "1 couldn't make
mine come out right, eltner, but it
didn't worry 1110 to Hint extent. In
the long run I don't know that It does
us any good to be forever haggling
over the comparative values of nn
Irish stew and a porterhouse steak or
discussing tho amount of enjoyment
and benellt of n regular theater ticket
as compared with the 10-L'fl-"0. What
do you say to dropping the thing alto
gether'.'" Mrs. John's face grow clearer and her
eyes brighter than they had for thirty
six hours. She went over lo John Hen
ry and put her arms around his neck.
"Anything you say Is right," she
whispered. "You're 11 darling old boy,
and I'm so glad l married you."
