Graphic Account of the Most Destructive Catastrophe that has Visited Reyn- oldsville In a Quarter of a Century. X X X BRAVE WORK BY FIREMEN PREVENTED MUCH GREATER DESTRUCTION. A fire was discovered in tho rear of i Thomas Tappor's livery stablo Saturday night and although the fire alarm was Riven and tho flro companies responded promptly, yot tho flro spread rapidly and was not conquered until ton build ings and thirteon business places, 9TiO,(ino worth of property, had been destroyed by tho pery-tongued fiend. H was tho greatest conflagration that has visited KeynoUlsvllln in a quarter of a century. There was a strong wind blowing at tho time, which funned the flames into a fierce and uncontrollablu demon that seemed determined to swallow up tho entlrj portion of Main street west of Fifth street. It was only by the bravo and persistent work of our noble volun teer firemen that the flames were finally conquered. We want to say right here that our firemen deserve a great deal of praise for the gallant work thoy did Saturday night, for they certainly had a long and extremely hot fight before they galnod the victory over the tilery element. The fire started at 11. lo p. m. and it was 2.00 a. m. before the danger was passed. When the fire alarm was given mun rushed Into Mr. Tapper's livery stablo and found that the fire had a good start In the hay mow. The horses wore turned loose and driven out of the barn and all tho buggies, hacks and carriages on first floor were taken out, but all the sleighs, sleds, robes, feed, Ac, on second Moor and all the single harness were burned. Mr. Tapper lived in front part of tho stable, on second floor, and all his household goods, Including a gold watch and chain that had been given to him, vafued at JiiOO, and over I00 In cosh, wore destroyed. The Dolblo building, between Tapier's and Hotel Belnap, In which was W. E. Stormor's meat market and M. Geisler's tailor shop, was licked up by the red-tongued monster. Adjoining Tapper on tho west side was Ezra Ilarttnan's black smith shop, with residence on second Hour. Tho flro spread so rapidly that Mr. Ilartman and family barely escaped with their lives and wore not ahlo to save anything, not even more clothing than what they could hurriedly slip on as they got out of bed. Mr. Hartman's team of horses and wagon was all that ho saved. Ed. Phillips' barbershop and dwelling wero the noxt In the path of tho flro. Mr. Phillips succeodqd in sav ing the things out of his shop and a few housohold goods. Mrs. Lavina Buum's resldonce adjoined Phillips' and some of her goods wore saved, but wore badly damaged. J. F. Miller and John L. Ewlng's meat market also wont up In Binoke. Swurtz Dros., grocorymon, and A. Z. Snydor, tailor, were on the first floor of the McGaw building and E. S, Strawcutter lived on second floor. The flames licked up the building and two car load of feed that Swurtz Bros, had just put Into their feed department, besides a largo amount of other things. Snyder succoeded in romovlng consider able of his stock. Mr. Strawcutter saved some of his household goods. Hotel McConnul), one our populur hostolrles, of which the gunlul Frank J. Black was proprietor, was consumed by fire (lend. Some of the furniture was carried out but was most all oithor bad ly damaged or destroyed entirely by rough handling, and sparks raining down upon It. Adjoining Hotel McCon nell was a two-story frame building owned by F. A. McConnoll. The first floor was usod as billiard room by Fred Biggie, and the second story was used as annex to Frank's Tavern and was furnished as bed rooms. The next build ing to that was a small brick owned by F. A. McConnell. Tho first floor was occupied by It. J. Thomas' barbershop and second floor was part of the annex of Frank's Tavern. This was the only brlok building In the path of the fire, and only the front and one side of It was brlok, but that was sufficient to enable the firemen to get control of the fire. The rear part of the building next to brlok, owned by Mrs. Charles Montgom ery, was damaged. Mrs. Thomas Wlndle occupied the first floor of that building with her raoket store and lived In rear of store, and William Burns lived on the second floor. Mrs. Wlndle's goods were carried out of building and considerably damaged or destroyed. Burn's household goods were badly damaged. By tho tlmo tho Are had reached the brick building It looked as If it could not be stopped before it reached third street, and the people living along there, Mrs. Annie Hendricks, F. B. Hall, proprietor of Bon Ton bakery, and E. L. Evans, greon grocery and dwelling house, all moved out. Georgo Harris, who lived on cornor of Third street and alley, moved to cooler quarters. Had It not been for the fact that a heavy rain had fallon just before the conflagration, fire would have brok en out in many other places, as there was a shower, of sparks and burning tinder rained down on the houses as far oyer as Brown street in West Reynolds- vllle. Mrs. Barry's house, on Broad Btrcet, West Reynoldsville, was set on by a burning tinder. A fire also broke out on the roof of the Robinson house next to Frank's Tavern. With a good water force and four streams playing on the fire, for twenty minutes after it started It looked as if the firemen could not get control of the situation and a telephone message was sent to DuBols for aid, and as soon as It was possible, barring all unavoidable delays, a fire engine and company ar rived from DuBols over the R. & F. C. Hy. The steamer was run off the car at the Main street crossing and it was soon pumping water, but by that time the Roynoldsville company bad the Are undor control. The willingness of the DuBols company was appreciated just the same as If thex' '1 conquered the Aery element. After the DuBols com pany had rendered all the assistance possible they wore served with lunch and hot coffoe at Hotel Bolnap, Hotel Imperial and Frank's Tavern and about 4:00 a. m. tho DuBols company started for home. Following is a list of the property destroyed and the amount of Insurance carried by each person: Delble Bros., loss on building $2,000; Insurance $00. M. Geislor, tailor, loss 1100.

Strawcutter, loss on housohold goods $300; no Insurance. The loss amounts to something like $50,000, with only about $10,000 insur ance. The rates for insurance In that section was very high, 4 per cont, and that was tho reason thore was such a small amount of insurance carried. It was reported on the streets Sun day morning that there was not pres sure enough when the hose was first attached to fire plug at corner of Main and Fourth streets to throw a stream of water on fire and that delayed the fire men and gave the fire a bottor start. Two hose wore attached on that plug and one hose was not taken off the hose cart and when tho water was turned on the mistake was discovered and the wator had to be shut off until the hose on cart was disconnected, and that de layed the water throwing for few minutes, but there was no trouble about lack of pressure. Thore was a good pressure all the time of the fire, not withstanding the fact that there were four streams turned onto the fire. One of the Bon Ton bakery horses was burne 1. The horses bad been driv en out of the barn, but the door was not closed and one of the horses ran back into the barn when it was burning and no one dare go in the barn to get the horse out again. Strawouttor's pug dog was cremated. AFTERMATH OF THE FIRB. M. Golsler now occupies rooms on second floor of H. A. Stoke block with his tailor shop. A. Z.

John O'Hare, proprietor of the Na tional Hotel, has purchased the Hotel McConnell 'bus and team. Frank J. Block has not decided yet whether he will rebuild Hotel McCon nell or not. The burned district Is In the fire limit and nothing but brick buildings can be erected thoreon. Ed. Phillips sold his lot to Dr. J. H. Murray yesterday for $1,200. Phillips will get $-100 insurance on bouse, mak ing $1,000 for the property, for which he paid $700 less than two years ago. It is claimed that goods were stolon and hauled away in wagons during the fire Saturday night. Inside of a year the section of Main Street devastated by fire will be rebuilt with brick buildings. There Is such a great demand for good locations on Main street that some people were trying to buy lots along the burned district Sunday forenoon.
