EXCELSIOR
REAPTNG & MOVING
MACHINES.

WHAT constitutes n Combined Machine
w is one tingerbar and two knives for
moving, and one tingerbar and sickle for
rcaping, besides extra sections and guards
with rivets for repairs.
Less than five minutes will change the
Excelsior from Il Reaper with the reaper
attachment To Il Mower with the mower
attachment; in either case it Is perfect
machine, and is such it stands unchal-
lenged before the world. 1t Is perfect
mower, Il reaper or combined machlhe.
The reaping attachment is either drop
per, Sclf-rake or both, making perfect
machine in either form. 1t is made ell
tirely of iron and steel, except the tongue
and lift lever; it also has separate lever
for tilting the points of the fingers or
guards up or down both in reaping or
moving; it also has an adjustable reel
which can be raised or lowered by lever
whilst the machine is cutting.
As Simplicity of Construction Is indie
ative of efficiency and also marks the ge-
MUS of the inventor, we take pleasure i'll
asserting that one person can successfully
operate the Excelsior, and this may be
done by boy or an aged man toe feeble
10 work III any other part of the field
such Is the ease of management. Two
Independent Drive Wheels, of large di-
ameter, lmpart greater power and cause
the machine to run easier on uneven
ground, and this, and our accurate and
beautiful proportional gearing, are the
main reasons why the Excelsior runs so
easily and lasts so long. The Excelsior
has the reputation of being the lightest
draft machine in the country. The draft
has been tested in different conditions of
grass and uneven ground 1T various times,
and is found To- range from lj0 to 200
pounds. We furnish two sizes:
TIE MEDIUM IRON FRAME,
AND THE JUNIOR IRON FRAME.
WcalSo furnish lighter class machine.

DISCOVERY OF TIE FIRE.

q
dolph, the colored porter, who rushed
out in front and gave the alarm. The
house was fuller of guests than it had
been for long while, a number being
i'll attendance from Allegany County as
witnesses, with an unusual number OF
commercial men. Messrs. Saml Jacques
and VIM. Stake, the clerks, as well as
Mrs. Middlekauff, the proprietress, had
given up their rooms to guests. The
two former were lying down on sofas
in the end of the wing when they heard
the alarm. The main building next the
yard was then in flames, and the board
ers and other occupants who had been
aroused at the same instant were rush.
ing to the windows and crying out for
assistance and guidance to escape. The
rapidity of the flames was terrific.
ESCAPES.
In room No. /, on the main floor of
the hotel, were Messrs. Taylor and Mid
dleton, commercial men of Baltimore
and Philadelphia. They were at the
head of the steps where the fire origina-
ted and ran out of the main entrance
into the street.
Mr.. Stine, of Philadelphia, was in the
room above No. l, and escaped.
On the second floor of the hotel, in
Nos. 6 ond Z, separated by the passage,
were Mrs. Melville Patterson, of Balti-
more, her little daughter and her eous-
in, Miss Josephine Gerry, of Portland,
Maine, and nurse. These ladies were
at the window when discovered from
the street crying for assistance. Mr.
VIM. Stake, the clerk, and Mr. Sainl
Dorsey, librarian of the Thursday Club,
rushed to their assistance. Mr.. Dorsey,
with undaunted courag rushed through
the fire and seizing the child of Mrs.
Patterson carried her out in safety, &C
eompanied by that lady. Miss Gerry's
cries attracted Mr.. Stake, who, on 90
ing to her assistance, found her on the
steps where she had sprained her ankle,
and was caraied out, without further
injury, by him. The nurse escaped
with Mrs. Patterson, and was some
what burnt. Mr.. Dorsey was badly
burnt about the face. Mrs. Patterson
was also slightly burnt. They were at
once taken TO the house of Dir. Mealey,
where they remained until morning.
Mr.. 7. J. Mil, wife and two children
occupied rooms 2S aud 20 OF the upper
or third floor of the hotel. Escape by
stairway was cut of, and they got away
by going on TO the upper porch and
climbing down the posts, the whole dis
tance of four stories to the ground. In
the descent one of the children, Sydney,
fell and was somewhat though not Sc
riously injured. They were taken first
to Mr. Aughinbaugh's and then to the
