A THREATENED CONFLAGRA
TION FOR A TIME.
FIVE BUILDINGS DESTROYED 1
They Woro Small Struoturoi
Conducted as Polish and Hun
garian Boarding Houses.
The Loss Was Small. ,
HE town was egaln
threatened by a con
flagration y ester d a y
morning and tho ex
cellence of tho volun
teer fire department
was again demonstrated
Tho location and every
other circumstances
tended to promote a grand blaze
Tho firo started shortly after 2 a. m In
one of the skeleton frame buildings at tho
end of Ccntro stieot owned by Jerry
Conaghan. Tho water was turned off, but
few people heard the alarm and the flimsy
structures fell easy victims to the flames.
Tho situation was a most discoaragiiig ono
for tho firemen, but in face of all tho handi-
caps they did splendid work. They did not
secure water until fully half an hour after
they Toiclied tho scene.
Meanwhile the flames spread from the
starting point to the adjoining small frame
structures owned by the cstato of lira. Lamb,
who died recently. All the buildings were
occupied by Polish and Hungarian families
and their boarders and many of the occupants
narrowly escaped losing their lives, as several
of tho men had enjoyed pay day spices and
were sostupefiedthatthey didnot realize tbeir
peril until almost the last minute. Somo of
them lushed out of the houses with no other
covering than coats.
For a timo tho First ward residents were
panic stricken. All tho structures in that
fiction aro framo and tho flro had such a
hold befoio the water was turned on itseemcd
the flames would spread west to tho Lohigh
Valley depot before tho firemen would be
able to check them.
Although fivo buildings were destroyed tho
loss will not exceed $1,000, outside of house
hold goods and peisoual property. It is be
lieved that $1,500 will cover losses although a
number of Poles and nungniians claim to
havo lost considerable money.
Tlicso claims weio partly confirmed to-day,
but it is not believed that tho money lost is
by any means as largo as some of tho losers
claim. Ono man who claimed to have lost
$80 commenced digging in tho mins at mi
early hour this iuomlug and found $60 in
gold.
One of tho men who wero in the place
when the fire stalled said to a rcpoiter to
day: "The fire started so suddenly and
spread so rapidly that we barely escaped it.
Somo fellows were playing CO and 1 In a
room and in tho kitchen other fellows were
boiling alcohol to make whlskoy. Tho stuff
splashed over upon the stove and the next
instant tho whole placo was in a blaze."
Of tho buildings destroyed four were
owned by the Lamb estate
This fire again demonstrates tho necessity
for an alteration of tho bell tower, whereby
the sounds of tho bell may bo better thrown
out. A large number of the firemen did not
know of tho fire until all tho buildings were
in a blazo and somo of them did not know of
it until all the, trbublo was over.
It also seems that there should be somo
other airangemcut made for a supply of
water when flic occuis. Tho water should bo'
turned on during ceitaiu hours of tho night.
It is too hazardous to havo empty pipes In
such emergencies.

The Lobs Amounts to Several Thousand
Dollars,
Fottsvlllo also had a lire early yesterday
morning. It started in a millinery stoio in
the Shisslor building. Chief of Polico Fritch-
ard narrowly escaped losing his llfo by
groping his way into tho placo and opening
tho closet door, which caused an outbuist of
flames upon him. The building was saved
from destruction, but the loss by tenants
and adjoining property owners and their
tenants amounts to several thousand dollars.
The heaviest loser is George II. Brctz, tho
photographer, who had his gallory In tho
Shisslor building. Ills scenery and acces
sories with the paraphornalia of the gallery
and several thousand negatives wero de
stroyed. Ilia loss is about $10,000 and there
is but $1,500 insurance. Fortunately Mr.
Brclz's work and black diamond collections
for tho World's Fair wero saved. The offices
of C. N, Brumm, William Wilhelm, Esqs., and
Dr. Andrews were also in tho samo building.
The Abnor Keiser building and carpet storo
suffered a loss of about $4,000, which is fully
covered by insurance
Albert Pollock, proprietor of tho millinery
storo in the Shisslcr building, lost nearly
$13,000 and has $9,000 insurance. Tho build-
ing was damaged to tho extent of $3,000,
which is covered by insurance

RASH RUDDY.
licit! Uutler the Postal Laws fur His
Act.
Peter Ruddy, of Lost Creek, is
in a bad
fix and he owes his position to
excessive
enthusiasm over tho election of Cleveland
and over indulgence in bad whiskey.
While In a hilarious state Fiiday night ho
called at tho office of Postmaster George W
Johnson. lot content with taunting tho
postmaster with the boast that tho official
would soon bo "filed," Ruddy behaved
himself so disgracefully that Johnson was
obliged to eject bim.
This act incensed Ruddy and after declar
ing that Cloveland was president and that
tho Democrats would show the Be-
publicans a thing or two ho attacked the
doors and forcod an entrance to tho post
office lie was like an infuiiatcd bull and
played havoc with everything In reach, in
eluding the letter cases and boxes and other
property pertaining to tho government busi
ness of the office. After somo tiouulo Ruddy
W03 again ejected.
Saturday morning Detective Amour, armed
with a wai rant sworn out by the postmaster,
went in search of Ruddy and found him.
The accused was taken beforo 'Squlro Elmer
Johnson, at Lost Creek. Ho pleaded guilty,
but being uuablo to furnish $1,000 bail was
committed to the county jail.
For the destruction of tho post office prop
erty Ruddy is amendablo to tho postal laws
and it is thought the United States authori
ties will toko charge of the case. If they do
Buddy will be liable to a penalty of $1,000
fino and imprisonment for five years.

Another Threatened Loss by the Scarcity
of M'ater.
Tho drought now threatens to cripplo tho
operation of the olectrio railway. Tho power
house of tho company at Rappahannock is
supplied from the Lost Creek dam and tho
condition of that sourco is so critical that the
peoplo of Uirardville aro scarcely able to
securo enough water for household purposes.
Tho electric railway company has been ex
ercising tho strictest economy in its use of
water the past ten days and in that way has
managed to keep up just enough power to
keep its cars going. On Saturday and yester
day tho supply becamo to low that suspen
sion of traffic on tho line was barely averted.
The cars wero running to-day, but It took
all the ingenuity and patience the company
could command to keep up tho power. Un
less tho Lost Creek dams are replenished
very soon or some other means by which the
company may bo supplied with water can bo
devised traffic on the road will bo badly
crippled.
