The "Park Hole! ." one of the leadius and
best conducted hosti-lries in this section of
the State, was burced to the ground between
three and four oYlnrlt yesterday morning.
ine are originated in the cellar and had
gained such heslway and was burning with
s ach awful ferocity when discovered tha!
thousand streams of water could not bave
ssved the doomed building.
1 he inmates of the hotel were driven
pom the burning house in their night
clothes, and thus clad were compelled to
Ceein their bare feet through the chill
winter airand over snow covered streets
to the houses of persons living close by for
shelter.
Ella Harmon, a domestic, was overcome
by tbe smoke and after being badly burned,
was saved from incineration by the heroic
action of Mr. "Lew" anneat Mrs. Van-
near escaped from her bedroom through
window and reached the ground by means
of a ladder.
Ail of the guests and attaches of the hotel
barely escaped with their lives and none of
them saved any of their personal effects.
Mr. Yannear's loss ;s estimated at $Z3,0O
insurance $15,;fut. Among the other heavy
loosersby the fire are Mr. Charles H. Fisher,
whose loss will foot up not less than $1,2X1,
Rev. McBride, of the Methodist Church,
whose loss is about $7', and Mr. George
Krehs, whose loss is about flouO. None of
these gentlemen carried any insurance.
8T0EY Or THE riBC
It was a few minutes before three o'clock
Tuesday morning, when Mrs. "Lew" Yan-
near was aroused by a bright light shining
through one of the windows of her bed
room. She called her husband's attention
to it and he started to investigate. Before
lc-aviug the room he learned that the glare
was the reflection of a fire in the lower part
of the building. Hurriedly descending the
stairs he found that the cellar was a seething
miss of flames and that the building was
doomed. Retracing Lis steps as rapidly as
possible be told his wife to dress and flee for
her life while he would arouse the guests
and hired help. Tne three or four domes-tic-.
O-Cupied the most perilous position in the
house, rear rooms in the new addition, and
to these Mr. Vannear fir.t went. He pound
el upon the doors and cried to the inmates
of the rooms that the hoU3e was on fire and
they should escape from it as quick as possi
ble. All of tbe girls responded to the sum
mons and all, save Eila Harmon fallowed
Mr. Vannear down the rear stairway and
out of the bouse, rinding that Miss Har
mon was musing Mr. Vannear leaped up
the two Eights of stairs a second time and
found the girl lying at the top in an uncon
scious condition. She wss badly burned
about the face and arms. He gathered ber
in his arms and carried her from the build
ing. She revived son after she reached the
open airand was removed to the home of
Mr. Elias Cunningham, where Dr. H. S.
Kimmel dressed her wounds. It appears
that the injured girl became panic stricken
and instead of following her companions
down the rear stairs she attempted to esc;ie
through the front part of the building. Tbe
new wing in which the girls' rooms were
locited is connected with the original build
ing by a halt way ; the halls were separated
by a temporary door and through this Miss
Harmon bolted into a mass of flames.
Turning as iuickly as possible she started
for the rear stairway and when she reached
tbe top she fell unconscious.
Meanwhile Mr. and Mrs. C. 8 Vannear
became aroused by the confusion in tbe
house. When Mr. Vannear opened the door
o'lheirroom be was met by a cloud of dense,
black srajke. Realizing instantly that the
bouse was on fire Mrs. Vannear run through
the hail on the second li xir and awakened
the one transient customer in the bouse a
jewelry salesman and then made her way
to the third floor where the family of Mr.
Charles H. Fisher, R--v. McB.-ide, and Mr.
George Krebs, had rooms. She aroused all of
these people and bid them hasten from the
house if luey wished to escape from burning
cp. Then she returned to her own apart
ments where her husband had partially '
struggled into his clothes and was throwing
as much of the furniture and bedding as he
could out of the window. Mrs. Vannear
bad only partially dressed herself when the
rlames entered her apartments and she and
her husband were compelled to seek safety
on the roof of the veraDda surrounding the
front part of the house. From here t'.iey
reached the ground by means of a ladder.
The occupants of the third fl J3r were in a
great state of excitement. Their room? were
filled with smoke and the cracking of the
burning timbers below added terror to their
position. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher wrapped
their two children in blankets and carried
them 1 1 the street. Then Mr. F.sber ru?uel
back to their rooms a second tiiu: in a viin
effort to recover some of uis fa uily's war-
in? apparel.
R-:V. McBride, in the excitement f . Slow
ing the alarm of fire, was unable to unlock
the door of his rooai. After rep&atej un
successful eSorts to do s Le fell a:aiusi the
door with all of his strength and broke it
from its fastenings Then be felt his way
through the smoke, along the walls of the
hall to tbe stairway. O te side of the stairs
was in flames, but he rushed through lhe-n
and escaped without injury. AH Le saved
from the fire was an old pair of pantaloons
and a vest.
George Krebs did not hear S rj. Vannear'
cries of alarm and when be beard the cry of
" fire," concluded that it was in some other
section of town andcm'.d get alonz without
bis presence. Finnally be heard someone
cry the nre is in lais House, ana tuen
was that be leaped out of bed and opened
the door of his room. Hastily gathering up
the oldest suit in his wardrobe and au over
coat be started for tbe stairs. Returning to
bis room he secured bis watch and then fled
from the burning building.
The jewelry salesmia was the only guest
of the hotel who escaped without loss. He
bad prepared to leave town on the 4 A.
M. train. His trunk was in tbe lull on the
first floor and be had all of bis personal
effects in a condition to pick up and go on
a moment's notice.
While all the above wa transpiring the
residents of the town had been alarmed and
led by the clouds of flatue and smoke were
soon at the scene of the fire. Tbe first
comers were able to save only a few pieces of
the household farnilure from the hotel
when the beat became so intense that they
were compelled to abandon further eiTorts.
The residences of Capt. W. H. Sanner,
several rods west of the hotel, and of Mr.
Elias Cunningham, about l'VJ feet etst of it,
were in immenent danger. Bjtween the
Sinner bouse and tbe hotel atood a two
i xry shed. The fUmes soon communicated
with it and were rapidly licking it up when
tbe men who had been fighting the fire
sooceeded in pushing the tottering walls
over. About this time the borough
"soda fountain" was ready fjr action
and did efficient service in preserving
Mr. Banner's property. Men were stationed
on tbe Cunuigharo bouse aud on the boose
of Mr. Jonas M. Cook, on the opposite of
the street from tbe boud, and they were
kept busy extinguishing sparks and fire
brands.
Tbe fire burned with unabated fury until
the large building was gutted and when day
light dawned nothing was left of tbe beauti
ful structure but the blackened brick walls.
Positively nothing is known as to tbe origin
of the fire. There is no question that the firs
originated id tbe cellar about tbe centre of
tbe building and bad gained such headway

Workmen bad been employed ia tbe cellar

were expected the following morning to
erect a wail for tie purpose of strengtbenirg
tbe bouse where the new additions con
net ted.
Tbe original " Park Hotel" building was
erected by ex Judge Mcses Hampton, fr
many years a prominent attorney of this
place, afterwards a member of the Beech of
Allegheny county. Afterwards it was occu
pied by the late thief Justice Jeremiah S.
Black, during Lis residence in Somerset
Following the great lire of 172 it passed it-
the possession of the late William H.
'inking, wbo converted it into a modern
welling and ms Je it one of tbe most band-
some residences in SomerseL Later on Jo-
aiuh Ti'el resided in it for a number of years
when it pass! n'o tbe possession of Mr.
Elias Cunningham. Three years ago Mr. C.
. Vannear purcLatcd the property and con
verted it ir to a hotel, fcinoe Mr. Vannear
became the owner of tbe property be bss
made several handsome and ccsi'iy additions
to it. The hotel was furr.Ubed throughout
wiib modern furniture, heated by steam
from a boiler located ia an outbuildicr,
lighted by electricity, and provided with ail
the conveniences of a modern first class
country hotel. It was well and ab'y conduct
ed and bad a large patronage. Locaud on
one of tbe choicest tites in the town and sur
rounded by a well cared for lawn, with beau
tiful shrubbery and flowers, it was an ideal
summer resort aud was always crowded Jur
iug the healed period of the year.
When asked S3 to whether he would re
build tue " Park," Mr. Vanneir was non
committal. The iropressicn prevails that
inside of the next sixty days be will bave

tion for bis proposed boteloa the old "Glade
House" site.
Expressions of ty mpaiby are beard on all

Death of Miss Maggie Kwlter.
Miss Maggie Keller, only child of Post

family residence on Main street, at three
o'clock Friday afternoon, aged thirty-nine
years.
When Miss Keller was three years af age

ling and from the time of the accident until
the day of her death she bad been a hopeless
cripple. Of recent yetrs she bad beeu a con
stant, but uncomplaining suiTrer, and for
the pan three or four months her condition
had been such as to arouse the gravest ap
prehensions on tb part of her parents and
friend. Her death, while not unexpected
and in a measure prepared for, was never
theless a crashing blow to her fond parents.
The deceased was a lady of mire than or
dinary intelligence, of an amiable disposi
tion, and a favorite where ver she was k oown.
8ie was a c .insistent member of the Metho

Oliver P. Long Killed.
Oliver P. Lor.;r, aged about 40 years, a
well-known resident of Black township,
died at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon from the
eiiects of injuries accidentally received at his
caw mill the ptevious Thursday.
Tbe mill is located on a tract of land near
the Bare Uxks. At the time of the accident
Long was ei.gsged in 0eratiiiir tlie carnage
which hauls the logs to and from the saw.
The carriage is shifted by means of a large
belt, a smaller one being used to throw it onto
tbe pulleys when it is desired to set tbe car
riage in motion. Long was bearing down
opjn the small belt or "tigtening pulley"
wnen ti e pulley broke and Hew to pieces.
A section of it struc k bim below tbe nose
tearing an cgly gash up through bis face
and over the too of Lis scaip. He was un
conscious when bis fellow workmen reach
ed his side and remained in that condition
until after be bad been removed to his borne.
Dr. H. S. Kimmel was summoned to render
i r fe oua! assistance and upon examination
he found that the patient's skull bad been
fractured and that tbe case wss hopeless.
Everything that medical science could sug
gest was resoittd to in order to relieve tbe
injured man's suffering?, but be lingered in
great agony at times rt'iuiring the united
stretig'.h of three men to keep bim in bis
bed until death came to bis relief.
He was a son of the late Peter Long, of
Milford Station. He leaves a widow aud
seven children.
One of deceased's brothers lost an arm in
a saw mill several years ago.
A Thrilling Runaway.
Wben train Xo. Git, the west bouud Mount-'
ain Accommodation, reached Cassjlman,
Wednesday morning, a nice looking team
hitched to a sleigh was standing near the
station. The owner and driver was standing
nearby. As the train started so did tbe
team, and in tbe same direction. Tbe horses
ran along tbe track for a short distance aud
then got up on it, jerking tbe sleigh along
after them. Tbe driver following in hot pur
suit, and yelling "Whoa !"' at the top of his
voice, stumbled and fcil across the track.
He gathered himself up j j-tt in time to es
cape being rua over. Ejgineer Mike Dan
slowed np and took him aboard. From
Casselman to Markleton, a distance of three
miles, the horses never left the track, and
crossed three bridges, one of them 30 feet in
length. While crossing tbe longest bridge
one of the horses shoved the other over so
that it was compelled to walk between the
rail and tbe outside footboard. At Markle
ton some railroad men beaded tbe team off
and scared them from tbe track. The sleigh
was not broken much. Engineer Darr kept
about 100 yards behind tbe horses all tbe
way down, but could not scare them off the
track by whistling. Conductor Schmotx
says it is the first instance in bis long rail
road career where two borjes followed the
track so far and crossed as many bridges
without being injures.
