done At times when most needed, Donald

LIVES LOST AT A FIRE,

fire AT ltfaufoPd

Four Human BoiDgs Perish IN "A IyestruyIiye
tiro ut Bradford.
The most disastrous fire in the history
OF Bradford occurred at an early hour FRI
day morning. BY it four persons were
burned to death, four others badly injured,
two,it is believed, fatally, and ten buildings
were destroyed. The fire originated in the
bakery of Mrs. Charles Reibly aud spread
30 rapidly that May and Lizzie Reibly,
aged two and six years respectively, and q
Swedish servant girl, were suifocated aud
burned to crisp. Mrs. Reibly, in her
efforts to rescue her children, was terribly
burned aud died short time after being
taken from the burning building.
Lena Gerwitz and May Touhey were
asleep when the fire broke out, but made
their escape by jumping from a window.
Both were severly injured and Miss Touhey
it is thought will die. John Holdin and
ii. Garwich were also badly hurt. The
latter is the father of Mrs. Roibly. The
buildings destroyed were mostly frame
structures and were occupied as stores.
The loss is distributed as follows N. Ii.
Hoop, o., 900; Z, J. Cross, 50. 500; the
Reibly estate, $1,000 Larabee Il Korster,

aud by the fire to day the entire family
was swept from the face of the earth.

"A fairy Hall Room

A Southern girl, in the Boston Watch
man, thus describes how an ingenious
woman contrived to light her house on the
occasion of a swell party during the war,
when no candles were to be had "She
sent far and near to borrow all the wine
glasses possible. These she filed with
pure white lard, and every one who could
be spared on the place was set to work
cutting out little round pieces of paper
about the size Of half dollar. Each of
these she twisted in the centre to form q
taper, and placed on the lard In the
glasses ready for use, for she meant to
light her rooms with them. We always
had used them in the bed rooms and for
sickness, as they would last all night, and
candles were far too precious to be
wasted In that way. But the idea of
making them ornamental was my
mothers, aud you caunot realize how
lovely the house looked that night. She
had placed them everywhere, and had
built pyramids of lights, banked in with
flowers, in every available nook and
corner. The rooms and halls were brill
iantly lighted by the tiny flames, which
seemed to me to be flashing from floor to
ceiling in every direction, and looked like
some lovely fairy scene, far prettier than
any ballroom have ever seen."
