Fir© Reflections.
Last Friday morning Butler bad ai
exhibition of how the 150 or so younj
men, who compose our fire department,
will jump from their beds at any hour
drag heavy carts and trucks distance
ranging from one square to one mile,
work for hours, ruin their clothes, en
danger their health and rick their live:
because they are firemen, and obligated
themselves, on joining their respectiv<
companies, to all the duties of a fireman
with the accompanying risks, voluntar
Sly. They are not paid to do it, thej
do not have to do it, but they do it any
way, and as thoroughly and more nob
ly than the paid men of the large cities
without pay or reward, simply for the
benefit of his neighbor and his town
That is the work of the volunteer fire
man. Butler may well be proud of he
firemen, and, generally speaking, of hei
fire derartment in every way. Then
are plenty of hose, plenty of ladders ani
hooks, and plenty of carts and trucks t<
haul them with, but Butler is gettinj
too big for human motive power t<
fires.
The volunteer companies will, with
out doubt, stay in service for years ti
come, but every man who grabs hold o
a cart and runs half a mile knows he i
not worth very much at the finish. Wi
believe all the firemen will unite in say
ing we need a team of horses for th<
Goodwill's big ladder truck and thi
hose carts. And with the horses wil
be needed a couple of men to care fo:
them and get them ready for traveling
when an alarm comes in. Many to'.vni
the size of Butler keep fire horses am
pay a fire chief and a few men all the
time, and all the volunteer men dnrint
hours of service. Batler pays Cbie
Burckhalter, (and he is worth paying)
but that is as far as the needs of th<
town have carried the paying bnsines
heretofore.
A good, reliable alarm system is als<
needed, but with telephones every when
through town it is not so much a mat
ter of locating the fire as of getting ti
it.
of all statements to th
contrary, any fireman will say that th<
water pressure at Friday's fire wa
good. Water was thrown into th
third floor of the Armory, the attic o
the Central and on the roofs of th<
Main 'street buildings. That pressnr
will reach the highest points of an;
building in Butler except the Butle
County National Bank building, thi
tower of the Court House and a few o:
the church steeples. If stronger pres
sure is needed, engines will have to sup
ply it. Engines, horses and alarm
system can only be a question of time
Some P. O. Talk.
The burning of the Park Theatre, on
the Diamond, and the fact that the lot
is too narrow for a modern Opera House,
(which precludes rebuilding unless
more surface can be secured), suggests
the idea that this lot might be exchang
ed for the Mcßride lot, provided the
Treasury Department of the National
Government has completed its pur
chase of the latter.
The Diamond in Butler is the official
and professional centre of the county,
vvat-jßlcti or so vtirauiau*
building should be located there. To
locate it on an out-of-the-way lot would
be yery inconvenient. Of course, the
lot would also be suitable for a city
hall or town building, as one of our
contemporaries suggests, but the post
office matter is by far the most press
ing.
On the other hand the Mcßride lot
wonld do very well, for either an opera
house or town hall
WASHINGTON NOTES.
On Thursday last, the House, by a
vote of 835 to 21, passed the bill to
make effective the Reciprocity treaty
with Cuba. The bill makes a twenty
per-cent reduction on imports from the
island.
The Senate, that day confirmed a lot
of appointments for Consuls and Post
masters, and among them that of A. C
Ziegler to be P. M. at Mars, and F. A'
Ready at Tarentum.
SENATOR PENROSE says that Senator
Quay will be elected to succeed him
self. His plan is to allow no one to be
nominated for the Legislature, who is
not an out and out Quay man
AN explosion in the Ferguson coal
mine, near Dunbar, Pa.. last Saturday,
entombed nearly a hundred miners, bat
all were saved but thirteen, who were
killed by the explosion.
THIS is the day, set apart for us by
proclamation, to be both good and
thankful, bnt this year finds several
hundred sorrowful hearts in the town
and many more in the county.
THE two Croatians who are accused
of murdering contractor Ferguson in
Washington county, and who were ar
rested in England, were committed for
extradition in London last Saturday,
and are now on their way to this conn
try.
THE .Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is improving its lines over the
mountains, and is employing great num
bers of Italians, who live in shanties
along the line. One lof these shanties,
near Johnstown, took fire from an
over heated stove, a few nights ago, and
twenty-eight men were burned to dea'h.
"Help, I am being murdered by"—
was the word that came over the wires
from a lonely, railroad tower, in the
northern part of the state, a few nights
ago. An engine was hastily sent to the
scene, and it was found that the opera
tor had been shot from the outside, and
that then the murderer had broken in
the door and crushed his skull- all for
a few dollars.

utlcr's Most Destructive Fire.
A dozen years ago Bntler had an Op
a House fire,and the old "'make shift
irned alone and in all its glory, as it
ood by itself. Last Friday morning
e had another Opera Honse fire —bnt
lis time it took a number of the most
ilnable properties in the town with it
id made the most destructive fire this
wn has yet witnessed. This Opera
ouse, or Park Theatre, as it has lately
;en called, was built in 1891, just after
le burning of the old one.
The Armory association had already
lilt, or were at the time building, the
rmory Hall, the lower story of which
as intended for the use of military
ampany and when the Opera House
urned the company secured three feet
Iditional lrom the C. Walker lot for
stage building, turned the lower flcor
E the hall into an audience'room, and
ided a stage room about fifty feet
jnare inside. This was occupied by
ie stage, dressing rooms, stairways,
tc all built of wood, and as veritable
fire trap as ever existed.
When the insurance inspectors were
ere some months ago they ordered an
sbestos curtain to be hung between it
nd the audience room, a thing that
ronld stay flames from above, but
ould not prevent the stage itself, the
."ooden floor of the audience room and
ts wooden supports from burning.
Who first discovered the fire is not
nown. A. T. Black, Esq., who slept
n the second floor of the building, was
wakened by the smoke, which was
eeping through the floor, at about 5 :30
.m. He arose and turned on his elec
ric light, sent in an alarm to "Cen
ral," dressed himself hastily and escap
(l with just what he had on. His room
nd the hall were already dense with
moke. A man named Hughes, who
rorks at the bottle works and who also
lept on that floor, got out just in time.
The employees of the Central Hotel (
loticed the smoke and flames coming
rom the roof of the theatre about the
aine time and wakened everybody in
he house, all of whom escaped, though
»n account of the rapid spread of the
lames to the upper stories cf the hotel,
ome of them got ont with but little
lothing.
All the fire companies promptly put
n an appearance and went to work on
he rear end of the theatre building and
ip the narrow passage between it and
he buildings that front on Main street.
They broke open the rear door and went
n and quenched the fire near the door,
but the flames were above and around
them —a space equal to (four stories in
height, full of dry timber. The whole
interior was a mass of seething flames —
sad probably been burning for hours —
imlshortly after the firemen got there the
roof fell in and the fragile 12 inch walls
began falling. Chief Jacob Burkhalter,
I'has. Douglass, F. Ziegler and Al. Wal
ler were hurt by falling brick and had
larrow escapes for their lives. When
:lie roof fell in a clond of smoke and
lame rose thousands of feet and could
jrobably haye been seen from every hill
op in the county. The tiny streams of
vater might as well have been played
lpon a volcano.
The intense heat and flames spread
vitli an irresistable rush to
he front part of the build
ug; to the Central Hotel, Younk
qs building, the lower floor of which
pas occupied by Hitter's grocery;
Thompson building, occupied by Na
ional Supply Co., and Leighner build-
Dg, occupied bv Newton none of
srhich had fire shutters on the rear win.
lows and all of which w ere eaten out
>y the flames in a short time. The Busi
ness College, also, occupied the upper
loors of these buildings and the flames
nade short work of it, bnt were stopped
jy the solid brick wall of the Koonce
)uilding. The rear of the Koonce build
ng took fire, but the firemen got in and
>n it with their hose and saved it; and
Vlrs. Lyon's building on the corner, sur
rounded as it is by solid brick walls,
ligher than itself, was not injured. C.
Walker's law office and residence to the
;ast of the theatre were on fire several
times and was injured by fire and
water and falling walls, which crashed
through the roof and second floor into
the parlor. His son and daughter, who
ire down with typhoid, were carried to
a neighbor's house. W. J. Black's liv
ery stable on the rear end of the lot,
was partially destroyed by fire and fall
ing brick.
By 9 o'clock the flames had done their
ieadly work. Only the stout front
wall of the Theatre building was yet
standing. The upper floors of the hotel
md annex, and all the floors of the
Thompson, Younkins and Leighner
buildings were destroyed with the front
walls yet standing and the great crowds
that had gathered around the scene of
instruction began to disperse. Butler's
greatest fire was under control, but wa
ter was thrown all day and two streams
jf water were kept going all Friday and
in Saturday the ruins were yet smoul
lering.
THE ORIGIN.
Just how the fire originated is not
mown. The boiler which made steam
;o heat the building was and is encased
n a brick wall. It did not explode, and
is it was provided with an automatic
shut-off the fire did not originate there,
inless gas was escaping at some other
r>oint. It may have originated from a
*as jet lpft burning or an electric wire.
A. watchman should have been kept in
such a fire-trap. The fall of the thin,
Dut high, walls so soon after the arrival
)f the firemen indicated that the fire
lad been in progress for hours before
iiscovery, as the supporting and roof
;imbers were already burned away.
THE LOSSES.
The Park Theatre building and eqnip
nent cost about $40,000 and was valued
it $50,000. It was insured for $15,000.
it was built in 1891, and was
nvned by a chartered company, of
)f which George Schenck is president,
ind Ira McJunkin. secretary. The
stockholders number about twenty.
The lot has a frontage of 48 1-2 feet on
;he Diamond and 51 1-2 on the alley,
ength 180 feet. The late "boom" in
Butler makes it much more valuable
than it was thirteen years ago, when
the association purchased it from the
Bredin li3irs.
Of the occupants of this building the
Bowser Bros, are perhaps the heaviest
iosers. They valued their library at
fs,ooo, lost it all, and carried but
j<Boo insurance. R. P. Scott lost a
valuable library and carried SI3OO in
surance: A. T. Biaek, who lost his own
ibrary and that ot Newton Black, de
based, had but s4<>o insurance; Coulter
& Baker, Mates <& Young, Lusk & Pil
low, C. F. L. McQaistion, McJunkin &
Williams and the Broadhead company
iost their libraries ar. I office furniture
md carried but little or no insurance.
The smallness of the insurance in this
nuilding is due to the fact that the in
surance companies realized the risk or
ianger and put on a rate of 2 1-2 per
sent, which made an insurance of, say
|MOO. amount to S2O a year. The fire
proof safes of these firms will proba
bly be rescued from the debris in the
j .sement this week with their books
aid must valuable papers intact.
On the first ti>x>r of tnis building were
lie offices of Tax Collector Slater and
Ex-Tax Collector Maxwell and some of
;he borough books are said to have
burned. Nearly all the borongh records
and ordinances were in the office of
City Clerk Conlter. In the basement 1
was the printing office of C. E. Herr,
which was entirely destroyed.
The third floor of the building was ;
occupied by the military company and
the state will lose the equipment worth
four thousand and individual members
of the company lost clothing, etc.
George Burkhalter, manager of the
Theatre, lost some special scenery
worth S3OOO.
The next greatest loss was that of the
Central Hotel, which with its equipment,
was worth from $40,000 to $50,000 and
was, on account of its immense bar busi
ness, said to be the best paying hotel in
the town. The front parts of the office
and on the Diamond and Bar on Main
street are yet standing, but the hotel is
1 total wreck. The Nixon brothers
carried £25,000 insurance, and will
probably rebuild.
Next below the Central Annex was the
D. Younkins building, fronting on Main
street. The front wall is standing and
the show windows of the grocery store
were not burned, but it will cost several
thousand dollars to replace the building
and Mr. Thompson carried but £kMX) in
surance. The Ritter Bros, carried a
stock of about S3OOO and were insured
for S2OOO. I. G. Smith, who occupied
the second floor, lost his bedroom, par
lor, and office furniture. The Business
College, which occupied the third floor
of this and also of the Thompson and
Leighner buildings and the second floor
of the Thompson, lost abont $5,000 in
equipment and had no insurance. J. •
Thompson's building, next below, was
entirely destroyed, but his insurance of
fS.OOO will go a great ways towards re
placing it. The National Supply Co.
carried a stock of about ten thousand
and had some insurance.
J. M. Leighner's building is a total
wreck through the show windows of
the lower floor were not burned. It will
cost Leighner several thousand dollars
to replace it and his insurance is but
SIOOO. Newton, the piano man, lost all
his pianos, organs and other stock, ex
cepting three pianos in the show win
dows. His total loss is several thous
and dollars and his insurance but $2,-
(.'OO. The second floor of this building
was occupied by Frank Babcock, as e
residence and the basement by a Chi
nese laundrynian, both of whom lost ev
erything. , „
Mr. Koonce's loss by fire and water is
about S2OOO and Mr. Black s (the livery
man) about SSOO, while C. TN alker s
house was damaged about S2OOO.
During the fire Mr. Cooper, the mer
chant tailor, carried his goods to the
court house lawn aud after the fire took
them back again, thereby escaping a
loss and Mrs. Lyon's house was some
what damaged during the excitement.
NOTKS.
Of all the firms that roomed on the
2nd floor of the Armory building, or
Park Theatre, but two-the Broad
head Construction Co. and A. T. Black.
Esq., carried safes. The other attor
neys oq. that floor lost all their account
books and private papers, as well as
their law libraries, and all the Borongh
books and accounts were lost in the of
fice of Coulter & Baker, who, with the
Bowser Bros., R. P. Scott and Mates
■ & Young are now located in the new
Bank building. A. T. Black is in with
- E. L. Ralston: and W. H. Lusk with A.
M. Cornelius, who is at present on the
' sick list.
The Pape Bros, lost a S4OO viano iu
Armory Hall.
Dnring the progress of the fire several
' of our restaurants furnished coffee and
I sandwiches to the firemen, an 1 some of
I the hotels sent up free drinks, which
occasioned so much drunkenness that
t the Mayor requested all the hotel men
to close their bars.
' The borough lost several hundred
dollars worth of hose, ladders, etc., by
I the fire, all of which, and everything
i else that is needed by the fire companies,
should be promptly replaced.
All I saved from the fire, said one
man, was my Bible and my reputation
- and one of the crowd asked him how
he happened to get hold of two things,
so far apart.
Andy Kemper was hit on the ankle
by a falling brick and laid up for a day
or two.
Mr. Burckhalter and the other
wounded men are doing well.

Obituary.
Little Lulu, daughter of Emanuel
and Norah Booher, uf Cooperstown, de
parted this life on Friday the 13th. The
evening before, while at play, her
clothes caught fire from an open gas
stove, and before help could be sum
moned elie was so badly burned a-t to
be beyond medical aid. Though only
four years old she exhibited wonderful
patience, and said she wanted to go to
Heaven, and while her burns were be
ing dressed sung "There's not a Friend
like the lowly Jesus." and her last
words were "Amen, Amen," while our
hearts were almost breaking. We bow
in submission, knowing our loss is her
gain.
We have received an unsigned, but
apparently honest note, from Grove
City, saying that Charles L. Fithian,
formerly of Washington township, this
county, died at Zion City, 111 , Nov. 11.
1908, aged 70 years; also that he died
suddenly, of heart trouble, and is sur
vived by his wife, nee Powers, of
Youngstown; three boys and two girls,
and was buried at Youngstown.
Mrs. Margaret Brown, kuown to team
sters on the plank road as ' Mother
Brown." died at her home at the toll
gate near Etna, Monday, aged about 57
years.
Lewis L. Kamerer, aged 54 years,
died Tuesday at the family residence.
813 St. James street. East End, Pitts
burg- Mr. Kamerer had been sick
about three weeks, and his death was
due to a complication of diseases. He
went to Pittsburg about two and
one-half years aso from Greenville, Pa.
He is survived by his widow, nee Mc-
Cafferty.and two daughters.Misses Mab
el and Eya Kamerer, at home. His re
mains were taken to Greenville for bur
ial. He was boru and raised in Fair
view twp., this county.

Emerson said: "If a man can write a better book, fl
preach a better sermon or make a better mouse trap B
than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, fl
the world will make a beaten path to his door." The fl
same rule applies to the merchant and is the real secret B
of this store's great success and large and growing pat- B
ronage. We do not stock this store with the goods we fl
could make the biggest profits on, but the ones that wear K
the best, look the best and fit the best; in short the fl
goods that are the best and most stylish and make K!
permanent customers when once worn.
| Compare these witu all others. The style of a ||

' style ease and durability. The
highest praise you can give a shoe is to say "it has the style of a
Dorothy Dodd."
Our new Fall Styles of "Walkover" are beauties.

this the largest and most popular shoe store in Butler county.
