DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT Brad
FORD.

The Dunkirk House and the Stone Hotel
Destroyed by Fire-Two Persons Burned
to Death and everal Seriously Injured
Other Fires.
BRADFORD, Pa, March About half
broke out In the Dnkirk House, Chestnut
Street, this city. The hotel was three
story wooden frame building, and the flames
spread rapidly, soon communicating to an
other small hotel, the Stone Hotel, adjoin-
ing; from thence to Chinese laundry and
photograph gallery on the one side, and n
store-house on the other, all of which were
destroyed Owing to the unwonted hour,
the fire department were slow in arriving at
the spot, and the fire had fair start before
their arrival. Besides this, the firemen had
several frozen hydrants to contend WITH
consequently II may be considered fortunate
that the flames did not spread further.
1t seems boarder in the Dunkirk House,
named Barney Freel, entered his room at q
late hour considerable the worse for liquor
The fire originated In this room and was
caused by an overturned lamp, for which
carlessness Freel paid with his life. His
charred remains were found next morning
In the ruins. One other boarder, j. l.. Mar
tin by name, also perished In the flames
His body, burned to o crisp was also ex-
humed from the debris. No other bodies
have been found, Freel, by occupation a
butcher, was widower aged forty-five and
formerly lived in Canada. Martin, bar
tender, aged twenty-0ne, but lately arrived
from Ireland where his relatives reside.
Henry Meyer, who lay sick on the second
floor was removed, but was badly burned
about the face and chest 1t Is feared his
injuries will prove fatal. o. II. Hitler, Of
Dunkirk, N. Y, burned about head and
back, not serious; Sam Karns, Knapp's
Creek, N. Y, slightly burned.
There were about forty dodgers in the
Dunkirk House az the time and it seems
miraculous that no more lives were lost as
the flames spread with such alarming rapid
ity. None of the boarders had even time to
save their clothes. One man, jumping from
window, left his vest containing valuable
gold watch hanging in his room. Vest and
watch were afterwards found among the
ruins ninjured, the watch still running.
The boarders in the Stone Hotel having
more time all escaped. The loss will reach
about $4,000, with but little insurance.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March THE post
Office and custom house at Bismarck, OAK,
was burned yesterday morning.
MEDFoRD, Mass, March THE James
school house caught fire from defective
chimney yesterday morning. Seventy-fye
pupils were in the building but all were got
out unnjured. Six firemen were In the attic

these were seriously injured. The building

AN INTERESTING RELIC.
An Iron Tobacco Pipe Made Nearly Two
Hundred Years Ago.
fst. Louis Republican,

Sc. Louis Republican.l
Last November, while farmer was
gruobing In a field near Prairie du Rocher,
ILL.,, his hoe turned up what at first ap-
peared TO be piece Of iron, but when all
the earth had been scraped of, the find
turned out to be au iron pipe for smoking
purposes. The farmer brought it up to the
city few days ago, and present d Il 70
Mr.. Charles Vincent, liquor dealer, doing
business at Carondelet Mr.. Vincent ls o
great relic-huntsr, and on close examiua-
lion the pipe was found to be one used by
French officers and made In the year l70O
II Is OF the same pattern az the clay pipes
now in use, the pipe and stem being all Of
one piece. This pipe was found within the
Enclosure OF the old Fort Charters,
which was occupied by the French
troops during the early Indian wars,
from 1000 to l720. Curiosity seekers
are now calling upon Mr.. Vincent In
large numbers TO handle and gaze upon
such an interesting relic. The pipe Is In
very good condition, and has bsen cleaned
and Furnished up, and now Mr.. Vincent
and his friends take turns about In
smoking the pipe Of iron. At the end OF
the stem there are series OF grooves In
the iron, Ia order that twine or thread
may be wound around, 80 that the stem
can be held between the teeth without
discomfort TO the smoker. Modern thread
has been put In the grooves and found
10 work just M well as II the grooves
had just been made. The bowl and stem
of this ancient piece Is not clumsy and
heavy, as some persons would suppose
because IL is fnado OF iron. On tho con.
trary, the very pipe is light, and II the
clay pipes were no thicker they would be
quite fragile, indeed, Several cash offers
were made to the owaer, but all were re.
fused. faiR ust .af
