A. rooms, and it was feared that the records of the association were on fire. This would prove very disastrous to many people, and M. H. Sawtelle rushed to the rooms which were locked up. A hasty inspection showed that the fire was in the law office of Paul E. May. nard, which is just across the hall from the M. P. A. rooms, The fire had burned through the partition into the hall and the building was filled with smoke. The door was broken in and a pail of water poured on the lames. A moment later the firemen arrived with the chemical apparatus and soon had the fire out, The hose carts were soon on the ground and two lines ot hose were laid but it was not necessary to use them, The fire evidently started in a waste basket that stood in the corner of Mr. Maynard's office and must have been caused by throws ing a cigarette or match therein. The office had been vacant for about a half hour when the fire was discovered, The damage is very small and can be repaired for a few dollars a — es OFFERINGS OF KIRK BROWN Commencing with Saturday, Aug, 11, when the sensational play “The Christian” will be given, Mr, Kirk Brown will present a series of productions that promises to make his week's engagement at the Loomis opera house one long to be remembered. Mr. Brown is not depending, as is the case with SO many stars, upon his own per sonal popularity, but rightiully be- lieves that by offering a series of famous successes he is at once ad- vancing his own interests and pleasing his admirers. With this end in view he has selected a line of high class plays never before seen at popular prices. Other plays to be presented are “The Lady of Lyons,” “The Eternal City,” “Othello,” “A Gentleman of France,” “The Cherry Pickers”and “The Two Orphans.” p——— NEW PLAY TONIGHT “A Daughter of the People” will be the play at the park this even- ing, following last night's perform. ance of “Shipwrecked” to another large house which this stirring melodrama thoroughly pleased. Tonight's bill, “A Daughter of the People,” promises a large attend- ance for many people remember it from last season when it was an unqualified success. Last night's specialties will be repeated tonight mond and James E. Lyon, repre- senting the Sayre fire department The committee stated the condition of the fire department in the way «f finance, and showed that it would be necessary to raise about $300 in order to hold the Valley Firemen's Convention at this place. The directors expressed their willingnessRo assist in raising the required amount, and agreed to bring the matter up this evening at the meeting of the Business Men's Association, It seems that much of the hard feeling has subsided, and all thought of a strike has been prac- tically abandoned, and it is very likely that the trouble that has been brewing, and threatening to leave the town without protection from fire, will be settled. ——— so — KUED NEAR HONET'S FERRY Man Struck by Lehigh Train Number One, Thrown Against Rocks and Skull Fractured A man believed to be John Jones of Ashtabula, Pa, was struck and killed by Lehigh train Number One yesterday afternoon, just west of Homet's Ferry. He was walking on the eastbound track and stepped over to the westbound track to get out of the way of another train He «stepped directly in front of Number One, which was being pulled by Engineer Meitzler and was thrown against the rocks with great force. The back of his skull was crushed, but he was otherwise uninjured The train was stopped, the body placed on board, and taken to Rummerfield, where it was buried, DIED FROM INJURIES Clarence McKnight, a Lehigh brakeman, who formerly lived at Waverly, but whose home is in Ithaca, had one arm and both legs taken off by a freight train yester- day morning shortly after 11 o'clock at Trumansburg, NY , and died in the Ithaca hospital at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, He was under the cars coupling up the air and was caught under the wheels. The*shock had been so great that the doctors did mot deem it advisable to amputate the injured members when he arrived at the hospital. His wife was vis~ iting at Waverly when the accident occurred but reached Ithaca before hé died. sult so far is highly gratifying to charge. The wells are being sunk to a depth of about two feet below the line at which the sewer will be laid so as to give a pood idea of the kind of a foundation on which it will rest. It was feared that much quicksand would bg en countered and that it would cost a large amount of money to get a solid foundation for the sewer pipe to rest on, as it is known that there is much quicksand to be found at various depths along the proposed sewer line. The wells seem to ins dicate, however, that the pipe will average about six feet above the quicksand bed. This will give a good solid foundation and will save the borough several thousand dollars, There are six wells in all and they will be located at the corner of Maple street and Lehigh aves nue, on South Lehigh between Chemung and Hayden streets, on Desmoad just north of Hayden, on the south end of Lehigh, at the corner of Lehigh and Stevenson, and at the corner of Lehigh and Cayuga. The well at Stevenson and Lehigh is the deepest, being about fifieen feet deep, and that at Lehigh and Cayuga the shallowest, being only six feet deep.

In Mahanoy City a youngster riding on the back step of an ice wagon was struck on the head by a large cake that slipped from the pile, and was killed in- stantly. In Utica the driver of an ice wagon threw his tongs to one side just as a boy ran alongside, one of the sharp points penetrating , head and killing him, away from the ice The man who was arrested yes- terday while making a number of social calls on Lockhart street res- idents, and who told the chief that his name was James Whalen, and the justice that he was Albert Hunter, was discharged and arrest- ed again last night. He had lost his memorandum again last night and gave a third name; but the police thought that two names were enough for one man and did not record the third one.
