AN EXPENSIVE FIRE.
Lusk's Fruit Cannery Damaged
Fully $4,000.

Quite costly fire broke out in A. Lusk
~ Co.'S fruit cannery, 1913 to AL Brannan
sheet. at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday evening, for
which an alarm was sent in from Box g.
Before the first engines arrived a lively
blaze was under way and for time it
looked almost a certainty that the entire
factory and most of the adjoining frame
buildings would be destroyed, but by hard
work for about an hour the fremen finally
gained control.
Lusk's factory is a collection Of one, two
and three story frame buildings all highly
infiam mable. In the rear of the central sec
tion was one-story frame addition leased
by Lusk d Co. to the California Automatic
Can Company, which had in the building
the finest can-making plant in America. 1t
was only recently placed there and its initial
cost is said to have been S65,000. 1t was
complete in every detail and the rough
sheet tin went in at one series of machines
and emerged in fully finished cans These
cans were used by Lusk & Co. exclusively
and at the present busy season were I'M
mediately filled and boxed.
When an inspection of the damage was
possible, II was found that the canning ma
chinery had been very badly damaged by
the heat and flames; also by the falling in
OF the roof and walls OF the building where
it was placed The Lusk factory proper was
also badly scorched and burned in places, as
were adjoining frame buildings, including
Farnsworth 81 Ruggles' barn, Immediately
adjoining the can factory in the rear. The
total damage to the buildings is placed at
$1,000. and at $4,000 to the machinery,
though fuller inspection by daylight may
increase this latter amount considerably.
The origin of the fire is at present un-
known, but it is supposed to have begun in
the can factory. Charcoal and gas were
used in the can building for heating pur-
poses, and carelessness when closing up for
the night may have been the cause of the
blaze. 1t being the height of the fruit sea-
son, Lusk & Co. were employing several
hundred hands, most of whom will be
thrown ont Of employment by the damage
to the canning department.
The alarm from Box 35, at 10:0S O'clock
was for fire in the Indicator Saloon, kept
by John Ruoff, in the basement of Is and IL
Leidesdorff street. Origin of the fire un-
ascertained; loss about S25.
The alarm from Box IL at II 10 was for
a blazing box Of rubbish behind the counter
of j. Takebe's Japanese curio store, 425
Kearny street. 1t was extinguished with
nominal damages. Frank Kane, a press
man for the Bulletin, saw the blaze first, and
bursting in the door put out the fire,
scorching his right hand severely,

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
How a Silver Plate Was Removed From
q WOman's Throat.

How Silver Plate Was Removed From
Woman's Throat.
A young woman at the Highland, Miss
Mary German of New Haven, Conn.,, was
attacked by fainting spell this morning
about 10 o'clock. and swallowed full silver
plate with seven teeth. The teeth passed
down the esophagus, and fortunately, as
events proved, lodged at point about half
way from the mouth to the stomach.
Physicians were summoned, but could do
nothing to relieve her intense suffering,
Finally it was decided by her friends to
send the sufferer to Boston for surgical treat
ment.
At this juncture, however, DR.. Franklin
+. Marsh was sent for, as 1t was thought
best to exhaust all possible means before
sending the patient away DR.. Marsh found
that with an ordinary probe it was impos-
sble to reach the obstacle. Taking a silver
sound" DR.. Marsh was able to make out
the location. about seven inches down, but
having found the location, he was unable to
reach 1t with any forceps at hand. TRYING
to devise some means OF removing the teeth
the doctor remembered silver sound twelve
inches long which he happened to have
with him. Curving the point of this and in
serting it in the esophagus. ne was able
after considerable effort to engage the teeth
on the hook made, and succeeded after
much exerti0n in removing the teeth from
the esopbagus. The laceration was less
than would be supposed, and the hemor-
rhage WAS stopped without difficulty. The
operation was performed without assist
ance or the aid OF an2sthetics.- s.-Bethlehem

cause Her Pa Was Rich.
There was rejoicing in the McGilway
household, such rejoicing as is rarely known
save when there's a boy baby born or papa's
named winner. Cook forgot to be cross
and the parrot In the front window sang
sweet nothings unmolested to the small boys
on the fence.
Down in his office Pa McGilway winked
his matrimonial eye. In my lady's chamber
was the busy hum of the sewing machine
and the eternal chatter of the dressmaker
with her mouth full of pins.
In the train coming home from college
was ADbie, the daughter of the house. the
pride of her father and the joy of her
mothers heart. Dear, clever Abbie, baby
yesterday, 1t seems to them. and yet to-day
weman grown, graduated from college and
coming home with honors heaped upon her.
But not Tor long was darling Abbie CON-
ing to make glad the hearts Of her parents
and TO cause the home of her childhood to
bloom like sweet syringa bush with her
presence.
In that long, cool parlor, where the white
lace curtains fiuttered in the June breeze
and great punches of June roses waited to
challenge the coming girl to the test Of rival
sweetness, there sat that day in silence ten
young men. With hats in hand. all save
one were breathing soulful maledictions
against the others for being nearer the door
than they.
Since early morn they had sat there, walt
ing the return of her at whose feet were to
be laid the ten hearts and the ten fortunes
here represented.
= s She was not SO beautiful girl, this COM
ing queen, nor yet was Pa McGilway SO rich

ating essay that had served as a lure to the

Man In kfchmOnd Nearly Killed by Com

A man was shocked to unconsciousness

not touch him. The shocked man lay with
a coil of wire ON his left arm, while the
