Special Trains of Many GAYS Left Town
This Morning
The fifteenth of August is always day of
festi ,ity in this region and it was none the
less so today. AS early as 8 a. m. people
were on the streets with baskets filed with
refreshments and vending their way to a
meeting point to depart with friends for the
excursion trains, which had been 70 literally
advertised the past weeks One Of the sights
at 6 a. M. to day was a wagon load of gay
young ladies, from Giardvlle, on their way
to Lakeside.
During the early hours members of the
Grant Band were seen fitting to and fro at
tending to details for the departure of the first
excursion train to Lakeside, where the band
is holding its grand musicale to day. Judg
ing from the indications at the depot the affair
must be a grand success There was count
er attraction in the musical festival at Lavelle,
hut the returns at the railway station showed
that, locally, the latter event was not "in it'
with the other. For the S:I5 special train 20
Lavelle tickets were sold, while the Lakeside
ticket sales ran close upon 700.
At noon another immense crowd went
down to Lakeside.
A woman, whose name could not be learned,
had narrow escape at the depot just before
the excursion started, by jumping on one of
the regular trains as it was starting from the
station. She was saved by some men and
continued on the train.

A restaurant occupied the ground floor,
and the Senate hotel the two upper ones.
1t contained thirty-siX rooms and held
thirty guests when the fire broke out. The
rooms were separated by fimsy wooden
partitions and proved first class fDod for
fire. The blaze started in the Office on the
second floor and spread rapidly through
that and the upper rooms. Before the
guests could be warned the flames had cut
Off the escape of number from the stair
ways, and they were caught like rats in a
trap.
As fast as the dead were taken away
from the ruins they were taken 70 the
morgue. Four bodies were soon recovered.
They were those of the Godfrey boy and
two men and a woman. The scenedurIng
the fire was an exciting one. Mrs. Ohren
and her daughter Annie, who slept IN the
front part of the third floor, discovered
the fire first. A moment later bhey and
the other occupants were flying about
seeking an avenue of escape. Annie and
her mother gropad their way through the
sitting smoke to the window ana out on
the sill. The crowd below yelled 60 them
not to jump With desperation the women
clung to the frame work, keeping as far
out as possible, while the smoke and
flames burst through the windows around
them
Although badly burned they remained
there until the arrival of hook and lad
der company. A ladder was raised and
they were rescued, Edward Short next
reached the window. The flames we're al

and he jumped to the stone pavement. He
was picked up in an unconscious condi-

arrived with ladders, which they raised,
and the work of rescuing the imprisoned
inmates Systematically began.
In all five people were killed and three

is valued at $l5O,OOO and employs nearly
eight hundred men and boys many of whom
reside in this town and vicinity, the report
occasioned much excitement An investiga-
ton, however showed that the report was
greatly exaggerated.
The authentic details in connection with
the matter are that shortly after o'clock last
night FIRE was discovered in the hosting en-
gine house which issituated half way between
the bottom and top of the plane which is used
for hoisting timber to the landing of the main
slope
The engine house and all the machinery it
contained were entirely destroyed and the
fire extended to a culm bank near by, but in
no way connected with the breaker.
The Girardville hose company responded to
an alarm sounded by the coliery whistle,
but reached the scene too late to save the
engine house.
The total loss to the company will not ex-
ceed $4,000. The origin of the fire has not
been determined.
