ANOTHER BLAZE.
THE FIRESIEN ON land
As USUAL,
And Promptly Stampit Ont.

About 10 o'clock on Wednesday
night, fire broke out in the rear
buildings attached to the residence
of Mr.. Thomas Kratz, on Race
street. Mr.. Kratz and the children
had retired, and Mrs. KratZ was in
the act OF doing so, when she saw a
light through the window. She i'm
mediately called her husband, gave
the alarm, and rushed into the chill
dren's apartment and got them out.
In few moments after the chill.
dren were taken out, the room was
filled with suffocating smoke. The
bell was sounded and the firemen
were promptly at the fire with their
hose. BY this time, however, the
entire back buildings were envelop-
ed in flames, and looked as If it
would be impossible to save the res
idence. But in almost less time
than it takes to write it,the firemen
after arriving ON the ground, were
playing several streams upon the
raging flames, and in a few minutes
had the fire under complete and per-
feet control. 1t was really aston
ishing how quickly what threatened
to be a disastrous confiagration, was
subdued and put out.
The fire originated in the wash
house adjoining the kitchen, but
how, is not definitely known. The
rear buildings were badly damaged
and Mr.. Kratz's furniture was me %
or less injured and damaged by re-
moving it from the house, and by
water. The loss, which will reach
several hundred dollars, was fully
covered by insurance.

We made mention last week, of
ex-Sheriff Nadenbouch' stable in
Hedgesville. being broken open,
and his horse aud buggy stolen,
and brought TO this place, where,
it was recovered the next morn
ing. Itappears that the parties
who stole the horse and buoy, bur
glarized the store of Mr.. FL. Mil
Ter, in Hedgesville. They entered
the store, by boring around the lock
of the door. After getting 10 side,
they drilled hole in the safe door,
at the knob, reset the combina-
ton through the hole made, and
opened the safe door. They sue
ceeded in getting some two or
three numbered dollars-part of
the money belonged to Mr.. Mil
Ter and the balance TO citizens OF
the place who had deposited it ia
the safe, for safe keeping.
A stranger was noticed in the
village on Thursday. He was in
Mr.. Miller's store, and purchased
cigar. He left in the afternoon
and got on the way-train at North
Mountain, and came to this place.
The burglary was committed the
same night, the party mentioned,
with an accomplice, having gone
back the same evening after COM
ing here. They arrived here, after
the robbery, in Mr.. Nadenbouch's
buggy, about 4 o'clock, Friday
morning. and probably took the
first train out From the fact that
they showed considerable knowl-
edge OF Mr.. Miller's store room,
and surroundings, it is supposed
they was the same parties who
burglarized his store year or two
ago.
