And then the leader in mis- pro
foundest bass, replied, in faultless
tune and meter:
"The tune is on page ninety-six,
The words on forty-two-"

FIRE In JEFFERSON.
The Engineer Of Pioneer No. | Seriously
Injured

AT a quarter past o'clock this morning fire
from all appearances the work of an incen-
diary was discovered In the one-story frame
building located at the corner Of Marengo and
Laurel streets. Although the Jefferson fire de-
partment and the First street Babcock were
promptly on hand, the fire burned with such
rapidity that the building was totally destroyed.
The building was owned by Mr.. S. Crone. and
unoccupied. 1t was insured for $1,000 but In
what company could not be ascertained.
An adjoining one-story building, occupied
as q grocery, was slightly damaged. When
the bells gave warning OF the fire the engineer
OF Pioneer Steam Company No. /, Mr.. John
Roubalhen, mounted the drivers seat Of the
engine and was in the act Of driving the
same out Of the engine-house. when the
horses became unmanageable, owing to the
of one Of the doors of the engine
house. Before he could get control Of the
horses he was thrown from his seat, and
being caught between the door and one Of the
wheels Of the engine, was severely injured.
DR. Chambers was immediately called In and
after prescribing for him said that his injuries
were severe. though he did not apprehend any
serious result. When the reporter visited the
Injured man he seemed to be suffering great
pain. but everything was being done as far as
1t was possible to alleviate his agony.
