/ blowing the store room-a one story build
n ing-to pieces and scattering the fire.
4 There was no wind at the time, but there
were buildings over nearly the whole lot
and the FIRE spread rapidly from one to
> the other. Every person within square
Of the building was aroused by the ex-
, plosion aud the Hope hose company was
, soon at the fire. One section OF the hose
burst and there was no other company
there for some time; but when the water
was thrown the company did good work,
for they saved two story frame that al
most touched the burning house and the
house on the other side. The B. & 0. track
was in the rear, and made aspace sufficient
to prevent any fears Of danger there and
the stable was allowed to burn, most of
the time untouched by the water. A bird
house in the yard caught fire and blazed
like torch, the pole not catching. Mr..
Kemple is uncertain Of the date OF q policy
he had in the Columbiana Mutual; but
thinks 1t has not expired, or the agent
would have been after a renewal. The
stock OF groceries was insured in the
German, OF Wheeling, together with the
stable.

The La Belle and Bellaire nailers began
their base ball game on time, Saturday
afternoon, on the grounds beyond the gas
works. Near by were the Barons and
Pattersons; but the nailers were compli-
mented with all the spectators. Bellaire
went to the bat, and John Dunn took his
place as umpire. Lem Battelie was
scorer. The result was 81 to Il, in favor
OF La Belle. The score by innings Is as

LaBelle's first run was a home run. Not
q few mistakes were made in forgetting b
touch bases after fouls, forgetting 10 hold
the ball on base, ETC., and the spectators
were amused to see Creighton run, with
all steam up, clear to second base on q
foul ball. All mistakes were taken good
naturedly, as they were playing for fun,
and and that's what the crowd was there
10 see. The ladies had seats under the
elm trees on the road. Milt Stewart ran
foot race between second and third
base, but came off victor. When Marshall
went 10 bat the scorer and the crowd fell
back in hurry-he struck left-handed.
Mills fell at full length on third base, and
Bero thanked his stars he was not under
him. Milt Stewart rolled up his sleeves
and played like an, old hand. Mills ran
the bases with his hat in his hand. Har-
denstein met the "heavy weights" at third
and helped them run home. Simmons
gotta base from Lynck's called balls. John
Weir held on 10 tue flies. Wilson was
everywhere. Dave Stewart scattered the
felders alter his balls.
