A Handsome House Burned.

Saturday morning about / o'clock II
was discovered that the handsome resi-
dcnce of James X. Mosser, in Hanover
township, opposite Allentown, was in
flames, and in two hours it was burned
to the ground. The fire started in the
garret ana rapidly spread to the lower
floors. The residence contained the
finest collections of oil paintings in the
valley, one OF the pictures alone costing
5000. Al the pictures and most of
the furniture were saved by the neigh
boIs. The alarm of fire brought part of
the department. to the scene, but only
one steamer got into service. The
efforts of the firemen were directed
principally to saving the large tanncry
west of the house and the stables on the
east side. The loss is estimated at about
$4,000. The building was insured for
$1,000 in the Insurance Company of
North America of Philadelphia. There
was 5000 on the furniture, two policies
each of $4,000 in the Pennsylvania and
Franklin Companies of Philadelphia.
The house was heated by steam and
lighted by electricity and the origin of
the fire is a mystery, though the most
generally accepted theory is that the
electric-liCht wire, which passes through
the garret, came in contact and struck a
spark, which fell on some combustible
material. A vast amount of linen stored
in the garret was burned. In trying to
subdue the fire with an eXtinguisher Mr.
Mosser was painfully burned. The resi-
dence was regarded as one of the most
elegantly appointed in the valley.

Tho OTiole Ball.


The first annual grand bali of the
Orlole Club, of this place, was held in
Linderman's hall on New Years eve.
1885. The large and commodious ball
room was very tastefully decorated with
evergreen and flags; at the south end Of
the hall a large stage had been erected
for the orchestra in front of which was
a large arch with the word "Oriole"
in large gilt letters, this presented a
very beautiful appearance.
AT nine o'clock the strains of delight
full music filed the air with enhancing
sounds wooing light feet to the giddy
dance. The sound of the music was the
signal for the formation Of the grand
march, which was led by Mr.. p. f..
Clark and lady, and participated in by
forty-three couple. Closely following
this came inquick succession quadrilles,
plain and fancy, lanciers, waltzes, pol
kas, &c. This was unquestionably one
one of the most successful balls ever
held in this place, not only in point of
numbers, but in order and decency, and
reflects much credit on the members Of
ths Crlcle Club.

HIS Hidden Money Found.

John Schaup, who died lately near
Alburtis, Lehigh county, at the age of
ninety years, was known to be a man of
considerable wealth, but it was not
known that he had large amounts of
money concealed in the house. Tues
day an inventory and appraisement of
his effects were made and his family and
the appraisers were treated to sur
prise. After the household goods had
been appraised and an old desk had
been placed on the list curiosity prompt
ed one of the appraisers to examine the
desk. His surprise was great when he
found in the drawers and corners piles
of silver and gold. There were trade
dollars, Mexican, French and English
pieces of various denominations. Among
the American coins were some nearly
one hundred years old, Willie several of
the foreign coins are one hundred and
twenty-five years old. There was also
an unpaid check for 500.
Search was then made for moro mon
ey and on the second floor was found
strong box about two feet square and
eight inches deep. The lid was secure
ly fastened and itrequired force to open
it. The box was filed with bags full of
gold and silver coin. The three APP
praisers counted nearly half day and
the entire lot of money found amounted
to $4,000. 1t is believed more money is
hidden in and about the house and
further search is to be made. The old
man lived alone with his wife, and, be-
sides the cash, owned farm, an ore
bed and other property.
