Time. A-
At alout four o'clock Friday morning
many of our citizens were awakened from
their -aeeful slumbers by a shrill voice
crying out on the crisp morning air, " fire!
lire !" The fine brick stable on the property
of Mr. J. K. Cori'rotit was found to be on fire,
the Cames from which had flashed their
light into the bedroom of Mrs. John J.
Hoffman, thu.-i awakening her. She imm.
diately aroused her huslmnd and little sons.
and the little fellows, half naked, rau into
the street and gave the alarm. The night
was terribly cold and the wind was blowing
a great gale. Immediately north of the sta
ble that was on fire, only a narrow alter di
viding them, were the large frame ware
houses of Mesrs.Cook & Beerits, in which
were stored nearly one hundred barrels of
oil. with much other combustible material.

lighting the lire fiend, and right bravely did
fl''t i'MiY morning
The stable was
S fireproof, or as nearly so as a building can
lie made, having an iron roof, and this
alone saved the whole northern end of the
town from being reduced to ashes. Notwith

and many of the other best buildingsof the

but it niifht have been iuos fearful in its
consequences. The stable was new one,
ard was one of the most complete and con
venient buildings of the kind we have ever
seen. It w as almost entirely ruined. A val
uablecow was found lying in her stall and
was dragged out for dead, but afterhard got
tip and walked off. Mr. CoffrotL-'s handsome
gray horse, " Fred," one of the best animals
that ever stood on four feet, was suffocated
by the smoke, and was found dead by the .
first person wbo entered the stable. The
stable was filled with hay, corn, fodder, and
other feed. The fire originated in the hay

double tracked between Pittsburg and Coiu
berland, with the exception of Sand Patch
Tunnel.
Fia, There is no more terrific cry than
that of "frt!" ringing out on the startled
ear of night ; even murder, with all its hid
eous associations, does not arouse us to
sympathy or to action as does the alarm
that the red demon, Are, is loose in our midst
licking up the pride of luxury, the fruit of
toil, the scrapings of avarice, and tha
scrapings of years. Such was the try that
startled the inhabitants of our village on
Friday morning at 3:40 o'clock. The alarm
ed citizens, men, women, and children,
youth and age, wit aud beauty, strength and
weakness hurried to the scene, and found
that J. K. Coffroth'a stable was on fire. A
valuable cow was dragged seemingly dead
trom the flaming building, but afterwards
recovered. A horse worth three hundred
dollars lay dead iu his stall, having early
succumbed to the suffocating influence of
moke. The citizens promptly organized a
bucket brigade, aud thus prevented the
spread of the fire. Mr. Coffroth's loss will
reach in the neighborhood of l-'.uuo. How
much of this is covered by insurance, we
are unable to say. This tire, originating
when it did, might have been a most disas
trous one. Just back of the burning stable
lay the wooden warehouse of Messrs. Cook
ti Beerits, containing one hundred IninvU of
teroffiie, and much other oil of various kinds,
but of course all highly combustible. Had
the fire communicated to the Cook & Beerits
building, one can scarcely imagine what
might have been the result. Four thousand
gallons of kerosene is a mass of which must
of us have little, if any idea. It would have
been sufficient to have sent streams of
burning oil hissing and sputtering through
the gutters of the town, spreading a general
conflagration throughout the district perme
ated bv it.
Notwithstanding the numerous visitations
of tire from which Somerset has suffered, it
is, one may say, wholly without protection
from the destroying element. Is there
another county town in the State so abso
lutely destitute of what may be reasonably
deemed seemingly adequate means of pro
tection ? If there be one, it is Waynesburg,
Greene county, but as I have not been there
for several years, I cannot say whether even
this capital ofa county, opposed to railroads,
is as destitute as Somerset. What are our
means of protection, iu case of lire ? I think
they may le summed up in a large sized Ex
tinguisher, which I heard some one last
night call a "soda fountain," a few small
sized extinguishers, same pattern, a few
buckets, perhups, and one or two hand
fo-ce-pnmps, intended to wash windows,
sprinkle rosebushes, etc. The large extin
guisher was out of order last night. I heard
several citizens say that the nozzle of it was
Utt. The citizens did good and brave work
with their buckets, but did they prevent a
conflagration such as I have hinted might
have occurred? To this question we un
hesitatingly answer, they did not. The fact
that the stable was practically lire-proof,
prevented the conflagration. Some may
object that the stable was not fireproof, be
cause it burned. It wi fire-proof, so fur as
any outside lire was concerned, but the
building has yet to be constructed that can
not lie burned if a sufficient amount of com
bustible matter take lire ititidc it. This is
just what hapiieued here. Tons of burning
hay rendered the inside of that stable a hell
of tire and smoke that the iron roof and
brick walls kept in, despite iu frantic strug
gles for exit ; but had the building been
wood, Somerset would at this moment
have been in ashes.
I have already alluded to the scarcity of
means wherewith to repel fire, but it must
add to the discomfort of every property
holder to know that a jiortion, even of the
means at hand were not in a condition to be
used. Who is to blame for this, I cannot
say. i have been lnlornied that a man is
paid "to watch the engine." Then why
doesn't he know where the lost nozxleis?
Perhaps he's been using it as a mouthpiece
for a telephone, or funrthing. The citizens.
many of them, spoke in highly indigiiiint
terms of the soda-fountain, and yet, had the
soda fountain been in order, and it is not
responsible for the fact that it was not, this
is one ot the fires iu which it would liave
rendered as effective service as an engine
worth ten thousand dollars, the gas which it
develops being thrown into a burning
building, having no ventilation to carry it
away precisely the condition here will
extinguish fi re or life in a short time. If we
have nothing but the soda fountain, for
heaven's sake let that be in order; let it be,
charged afresh, at least once per moii.li. In
addition to this several iiersons should
know how to charge the machine, and a
sufficient quantity of the material should be
kept on hand to re charge it several times.
Under the present system, when the ma
chine has been emptied once, its usefulness
is ended; under the system I mention, it
could be used again and again within an
hour ; the ability or inability to do this
may ai some day, or night, amount to the
difference between the safely and destruction
of the town.
A few young men can be taught in a tew
minutes to charge the machine ; they can
be taught to know the nature of the chem
icals, which I presume arc carbonate of soda
and sulphuric acid, and then the work is
done. Citizens ridicule the soda-fountain ;
they lorget mat it is alt we nave, and no
ioier means has ever been taken to secure
the best results from that. Let us see wheth
er the note of warning sounded from the
tire Friday morning will have the effect of
stirring up the Council and Burgess to see
that such material as we have for extin
guishing fire is in a proper shaje to be
nsed.
Yours Very Truly,

Euitor Herald. N'r .-Since the excite
ment occasioned by the explosion of elev
en hundred and tiftv pounds of dynamite at
Brooks' Tunnel, about four miles east of
this place, on the Balto. aud Ohio Railroad,
on the morning of October JSth, has partly
subsided, and a fuller and more reliable ac
count of the fearful disaster can be given,
and in view of the fact that all the former
statements have been conflicting and incor
rect, it is no more than justice to the dead
and the living, that a correct statement be
published.
The building iu which the dynamite was
stored was placed there during the summer,
and since the work for the w idening and
arching of the tunnel for a double-track has
been commenced. The building was con
structed of pine lumber about an inch
thick, and stood within thirty feet of the
track, with a side-track between it and the
main track, and about loo feet from the
mouth of the tunnel. There was a fctove in
the building, in which there was a lire at the
time of the explosion. It is claimed by
some that a lot ol black powder, fuse and
caps were stored in the same building, and
an apparatus to discharge blasts by electrici
ty, but how much of this is true, if any, is
not clearly known.
On the fatal morning thegravel train that
lays over here during the night, was order
ed to go to Brooks' tunnel to load stone.
Aftert he train ;vas in position for the men
to work George W. Reynolds, the engineer
told his fireman, R. L. Neville, to remai.1
with the engine and shift the train, if re
quired, that he had to go aside, from natural
causes, after which he thought he would
walk over to the tunnel and ascertain, if lie
could, where train Xo. C7 was. The engine
was at the west end of the train and conse
quently nearest the powder house, and
about I.tO yards away. The last that was
seen of Reynolds was from ten to twelve
minutes after he left the engine and from
one to two minutes before the explosion, in
the vicinity of the powder house. He could
see through the tunnel from where he was
Iwt seen. After Reynolds left the engine J.
B. Donaldson, the conductor, sent his flag
man, Charles Tissue, to flag train Xo. t7
which would soon be due, and the last that
was seen of him was when Reynolds was
last seen, standing at his post looking to
wards the tunnel. The other three men that
are known to have been killed are William
Dean, blacksmith at the tunnel, II- R.
Burchfield. blacksmith's helper, and Roliert
Hammond, watchman at the tunnel. Just
where these men were at the time of the
explosion is not known.
The shock was the most violent ever ex
perienced in this country. A brick building
owned by Mrs. Hoblitzell, standing on a
hill over half a mile away was badly injur
ed, over sixty window lights, together with
a lot of dishes being broken, and the wall
fractured. At the Silbaugh church six
miles distant, some of the window lights
were broken. The shock wss felt at Hynd
man and up among the hills of Maryland
and West Virginia, for a distance of forty
miles:
The wreck was complete. A small build
ing that stood near the powder house was
blown to parts unknown. Other buildings.
and some ol the paching at the approach of
the tunnel, and the live timber close by was
crushed into small fragments, the fearful J
stuff even digging deep down into mother
earth to find something upon which to
spend its force. Amo-ig the debris, scattered
around in wild confusion'! for quite a dis
Lance, was found the small nnd unrecogniza
ble pieces of the bodies of the unfortunate
victims. The smell of the dynamite, min
gled with that of the torn and partly roasted
flesh of the killed, made the scene as sicken
ing as it was horrible. The pieces of flesh
picked up among the ruins were divided
inty five parts, according to the best judg
ment of the finders, and named to corres
pond with the names of the dead, the only
recognizable piece being a portion of the
remains of Charles Tissue. All that has
been recovered of the five bodies is not equa
to one. The direct cause ol the explosion
is a profound mystery, and will never be
revealed. As usual, a number of theories
have been set np ; even some of the officials
of the company have their theory as to the
the cause, but all areatike unfounded, ileal h
baying set an impenetrable seal upon the
whole. It is not at all likely that the dead
are in any way responsible, but there is a
responsibility somewhere, and the feeling
here is that it should be traced to its source
and fastened upon the guilty party, so that
the public map learn whether it is the willful
neglect or avarice of men that makes human
life so cheap.
George W. Reynolds lived in this place
and had a wife and two children. He was
well and favorably known on the road, and
a highly respected citizen. On the fatal

would go out no more on that day, after
which he kissed his children, and left never
