FIRE AT FREEBURG.

Between twelve and one o'clock
on Tuesday night the people of
Freeburg were awakened 10y Il loud
explosion. In an instant the flames
burst through the windows of the
storc-house owned by Mrs. Eliza
beth Mertz and occupied by B. j.
Bickel, general store. In less time
than it takes to tell it, the burning
building was surrounded by an on
ger anxious crowd to save what they
could but found it useless, and an
effort was made TO save the adjoin-
ing dwelling house of Mrs. Merit,
but the flames spread rapidly, the
dwelling caught fire and thcinlnatos
scarcely escaped with their lives.
The next building was J. b. Shirk'
tin store which was completely
gutted, though it's contcnsc were
removed with little damage to the
goods, but the building, though still
standing is ruined.
What caused the fire is mystery
Mr.. Bickel was away from home and
the clerk closed the store about IL
o'clock. The loss to Mrs. Mertz in
household goods and the two build
ingS is estimated ut S25OO and had
no insurance. The loss to Mr.. Bck
cl is estimated at $1,000 fully insur-
ed i'll companies represented by W.
II. Snyder. Mr.. Shirk's loss is about
800 and is covered by insurance.

The Musical Convention, held in
Middleburgh, was n grand success,
notwithstanding the heavy rain and
snowstorms, which prevailed during
last week. The class was n large
one, and contained many fine sing
ers and musicians. The choruses
rendered were of the highest grade,
and Snyder county can be proud of
the talent displayed on this occasion.
The class organized on Tuesday
morning, and after three days drill
ing were able to render some of our
best standard choruses and many
other difficult -Four Part Songs.
Not enough praise can be given to
these singers for their zeal and per-
severance. \ great help to the class
were the Misses Weist, Arnold and
Glass of Freeburg their solos dur
ing the concerts were well appreci-
ated by the audience, and they were
fully entitled to the hearty applause
they received Middleburgh and
Franklin furnished remarkably
large number of singers and musi-
clans, all of them uniting their Of
forts to make this undertaking n
success. Their number was so large
that it is impossible for us to men
tion their respective merits. Owing
to the unfavorable weather, the at
tendance from abroad was slim, and
Tor the same reason we appreciate
the help we received from Selins-
grove, Beayertown and from some
of our neighboring counties so much
more.
Among the specialists, Mr. Hazel
of Williamsport, Pa, was the centre
of attraction his execution on the
Cornet is marvellous, and the tone
he produces on his gold instrument,
is too sweet for anything. He was
astonished at the musical develop
ment of our little county and spoke
in the most favorable terms of the
music rendered on this occasion. it
being far beyond his expectation.
Mr. A. Gift, n former member of the
Middleburgh Band, now of Williams
port, was the recipient of consider
able applause after the Clarionet
solo he played
The Middleburgh band, under
whose auspices the Convention was
held, rendered some very fine music,
aud rightly deserve the patronage
they received. The receipts were
large enough to defray all expenses
and have a small balance, which will
go into their treasury, this being
used for further development of
music.

its shipment soon after death occurred.
The mother OF the deceased and Mrs. Da-
Wis live in q small house on the old Beach
road in South Seattle. When the
Eastern Oregon arrived here yesterday
morning, Mrs Davis, instead Of taking
the body home TO the mother. whom she
said could not stand the shock, attempted
TO get rid of ii as quickly as possible and
Immediately began carting it sbost the
streets, uncovered, in m express wagon.
She took it to Bonney & stew arts, but did
not order . coffin, saying she did not have
sufficient money. and so hunted MP car
penter VINO agreed to make . rough box
coffin for $3.50.
The spec acle Of wheeling . dead body
in full view through the streets attracted
large crowds The police notified the cor
oner. who is investigating the case. Mrs.
Davis said she did not bury the body in
Fairhaven. because she thought she could
get it done cheaper here; and all through
her story seems so Incredible that one is
led to suspect crookeu work.
The coroner ordered the remains re-
moved to Bonney & Stewards and will
make an examination. Sullivan was only
10 years of age. Coroner smart has wired
the marshal of Fairbaven for particulars.

THE BorHEL DROWNING.

Nick Kiein's Body Recovered and Buried
festerday-An Only Son.
The funeral of Nick Klein, who was
drowned in Squak slough. near Bothel,
Thursday, occurred yesterday afternoon at
Bothel, the body having been recovered
the day before.
The manner of Klein's unfortunate death
will never be fully explained. He was
working for Mr. George w. Crane in log
ging camp az Bothel. On Thursday morn
ing he started down the stream, which is
known as Squak slough or Samamish river,
with small boom OF logs, and was never
seen alive afterward. Search was made
Immediately, the slough was dragged and
q large amount OF dynamite was used to
raise the body. and it was finally brought
to the surface a mile below Bothel.
No inquest was considered necessary.
Mr.. Klien had been working q. Botnel tor
two weeks. He came from Wisconsin.
where his father and mother and two sis
tiers reside. and he also has sister, Mrs. E.
Luffkin, who lives at Mountain View. Wash.
He was the only boy of the family. and was
a much respected and exemplary young
man.
This makes the second death that has oc-
CURED in the last two months in the Sam.
amish river. One theory OF this accident is
that Klein fell of a log and struck his face
on another log, which so stunned him that
he Was unable to swim. This theory is
strengthened by the fact that scar was
found under one of his eyes when the body
Was found. The place where be went down
was in plain sight of several persons. bu,
they did not see the accident
