REBUILDING TO COMMENCE
Martin IlelBenborner Will Replace tUo
Destroyed Frnuio Structures with
Huuilsomo Brick Itnlldlucs.
Business Resumed.
I'eople from all parts of the county
flocked to town yesterday to view the re
mains of the properties that were attacked
by Are the day before. Some came with
the expectation, of rinding the destruction
much greater than it is, as the early morn
ing despatches sent from the town placed
the loss at fignres ranging from 5100,000 to
8300,000. Nevertheless, the remains were
strong reminders of the terrible work fire
can accomplish, and the area it swept Sat
urday morning was viewed with great in
terest. The first to rebuild on the ill-fated
grounds were James McElhenuy aud
William Caucierlus. As Sally as eight
o'clock on Saturday morning they had
lumber hauled to the former sites of their
saloons and pat carpenters at work build
ing temporary structures. Within a few
hours thoy were again ready for business
and the service? of a number of special
bartenders were required. to wait upon the
customers who Hocked into the places dur
ing tho afternoon and evening. Messrs. P,
J. Ferguson and W. M. Brewer are credited
with giving admirable financial encourage
ment to the proprietors.
Thecauseoi the fire still remninfa flk'at
ter of supposition, but there is" not the
slightest doubt that it started in ilib stable
owned by Charles E. Tltiuau. Nlcbolas
Frleband, of tho New York Progress Man
ufacturing Company, and Max Rabino
witz, the West Centre street storekeeper,
say they were among the very first of the
people to reach the scene and that tho
flbmes burst forth from the stable, pre
ceded by great volumes of dense smoke
J. It. Coyle, Esq., was also an early arrival
and says the fire blazed In the stable and
made it impossible for men to get back to
the horses that were consumed.
The supposition as to the causo is that
heat from the baker's oven, which stood
very close to the stable, must have ignited
hay, or straw, in the stable. The estimate
made by us on Saturday as to the losses by
the fire were near the mark. It is not likely
that the actual loss will exceed $00,000,
The estimates in round numbers as given
by the sufferers aggregate $78,000, and are
apportioned as follows: C. E. Titmnn, $10,.
000; Adam P. Tabor, butcher, 510,000; C,
Radztewicz, 12,000; C. Cancierlus, saloon,
$1,000; John Ploppert, baker, $1,000; Otto
Carl, butcher, $15,000; F. V. Heisenberger,
dry goods, $2,000; R. Knight,' grocer, about
51,000; James McElhenny, restaurateur
$5,000, and the Herald Publishing Company
$15,000, insured for $5,000, Mr. Knight
saved tho stock in his store, but lost all
that was stored in the cellar.
Two victims of the fire, Martin Heisen
berger and Gerlach Dorubach, have dis
played admirable pluck and enterprise in
making arrangements to rebuild at. once
Both will have their grounds cleared as
soon as practicable and erect brick struc
tures with all modern improvements. Mr.
Heisenberger will cover his property, both
on Centre and White streets, with three
story brick buildings and have no frame
structures connected with them. The first
floors on Centre street will be planned for
storerooms aud the upper stories will be
used as dwellings by the storekeepers. Mr.
Dornbach will use as much of the old stone
walls as may be fit for building purposes
and will also erect a three-story brick build
ing. This time he will not build a mansard
roof.
The Intentions of the other property
owners have not been learned, but it is
probable that they will not hesitate in re
building as soon as the grounds can be
cleared of the debris.
The reports that large sums of money
were In the Heisenberger aud Dornbach
properties when they burned down brought
a number of prospectors to the ruins, but
no valuable finds have been thus far re
ported. Some boys are credited with hav
ing found coins of small value. Belle
hunters aro at the ruins In force at all
times.
The report that Mrs. A. I. Tabor had
suffered confinement just before the fire
started and was carried from her burning
residence in a dying condition was a sen
sation that had no standing in fact, Mrs.
Tabor had not been ill and was out shop
ping Saturday evening.
. Thomas Ileitis got much of the furniture
out of his house when the flro approached
it and says ha is sorry that he made the
removal.'as the damage to the furniture by
breakages, was almost as bad as the fire
would have made it. Some of the fur
nituro was completely ruined. The house
was not badly damaged.
Tho families who were rendered homeless
are quartered with friends aud in hotels.
They will flud difficulty in seourlng house
hold quarters until the rebuilding is
completed as houses are very scarce in tho
borough.

most successful. They held their service
iu Dougherty's hall, at the corner of Centre

large. The full seating capacity of tho
place was filled. Just before the close of
the service the pastor, Iter. B. M. Llckten
waluer, called for subscriptions to purchase
chairs for the place of worship and the
response was a generous one. The Esher

Davis, of Ashland, reopened the church
which remained closed from the time of
the granting of the Injunction against the
Dnbsites. The attendanco was limited to
eleven adults and nine children. Of tho
adults bIx were residents of town, two of
