was closed as nsnal at 6 p. 111. Tuesday,
and :m honror so afterwards two clerks.

back to it to put things in order and
wax the floor of the store room. They
lit the gas in a stove in the basement to
melt the wax and while Shaffer attend
ed to this. Hall put it on the floor, l>e
ginning. as usual, at the front door.
Shaffer* attention was taken from the
! stove for a moment, and when he look
'■ ed around the whole room was in a
! blaze, and he rnshed up the narrow
' stairway to the storeroom, with the
| blaze, following him so closely thai it
' singed his hair. A moment more and
| the rear end of the storeroom was a
mass of flame, which followed up the
main stairway to the millinery depart
' ment, which burned like tinder, and a
few minutes after the fire started the
whole rear end of the building was a
'seething masj of flim? breaking
! through the rear windows with the heat
■ so intense as to follow the ceilinz to th -
I front of the long store room and crack
I the front windows. The firemen came
' quickly sand the building was 11 » i 1
■ but in a short time an entire stock oT
: dry goods and millinery, worth perh ip<
j $.'5,000. had been ruined, and the re r
end of the building badly damaged.
Greater destruction was never done hy
a fire in Butler in less time. Shaffer
had a narrow escape, and both he and
Ha 11 had to leave the building promply
to save their lives.
The stock was insured with L. S. Mc-
Junkiu for £II,OOO, and with another
firm for sfci.ooo, making £14.0110 in all
upon it The bnilding is insured with
