A useful life closed on earth, to

In Divine truth. She grew in the grace
of Toying her bible. Her faith in that
book was as simple and unquestioning
as childs. It was very touching, dur
ing her long illness to witness the beau
tiful fruit of holiness ripening in her
soul. fla cloud would come before her
and cause her brow to wrinkle. one
word from the Masters treasure house
of promise would at once drive it away
and her face would tighten as If touched
by celestial beams,
The last two years of her pilgrimage
were tinged with a tenderly paihe, ic
sadness. On the 31st of March. 1891

her home, Mrs. G. j. Faulkner. was

CUMBERLAND, Nd. A pril While
a high wind was blowing this sven.
ing fire broke cut in the wareroom of
the Cumberland Hardware Company
on the North srle OIL Baltimore st.
The wareroom was frame binding,
and was surrounded By several busi-
ness houses on Mechanic street, be-
sides being just back OF one Of the
principal business blocks on Balti-
nore street. The flames spread with
fearful iapidity and the surrounding
buildings we're soon on fire. The
new building OF the New York Cloth
ing Company, on Baltimore street,
was the first to catch.
The Volunteef Fire Companies
with limited supply OF h'se snd
apparatus fought nobly the raging
flames which at one time threatened
to wipe out the city. For three
houfs the FIRE was uncomfortable,
and famed BY fierce wind, quickly
consumed every building it touched.
The building of the New York Cloth.
ing Company was a model one, erect
ed little over year ago. At 8
O'Clock its walls went down leaving
it total wreck. The walls of the
adjoining building, occupied by Jas.
Greenfield and Geo. Rabold as a
dwelling house, also tumbled
Gown as did also several of the
| buildings on Mechanic street. At
IL o'clock the fire was under control
the volunteers having succeeded in
surrounding it.
At the present the losses cannot
be accurately determined The
Walsh building; occupied by j L.
Stern. clothier; Chas. White, dry
goods 7. L. Coulehan, groceries ;
VIM. E. Walsh, attornev-at-l law, and
VIM. D. Parsley. Insurance agent, Is
total wreck loss about $4,000 ;
thought to be insured. The mer-
chandize in this building, worth
about SIS 900, is also at least partly
| insured. The New York Clothing
| Company's building cost about $l2,-
900; insurance $500. There is
said to have been $50 600 worth oil
clothing in the building, partly in
sured. The building occupied by
Joseph Greenfield is also destroyed
insurance unE lown. The Semmes
building, corner Baltimore and Me-
chanic streets is Quilted, but the
walls remain intact.
Scarcely had the Baltimore street
fire broken out, when another was
discovered in the southern portion
of the city. As all Of the FIRE ap-
aratus was in service at Baltimore
street, the other Ore was left go I'M
attended for time until some hose
and hand engine could be sent
there. Seven frame dwellings were
destroyed at this fire. At the same
time fire was raging in the noun
tains north of the city.
When it WAS found that the fire
was beyond control Of the companies
dispatches were sent to Bedford,
Martinsburg, Washington and other
cities asking for help. At9:l7 Chief
Paris, of the Washington Fire De-
partment, left that cit, tor Cumber-
land on . special train with two
engines and tive fire co o.

Of Martinsblrg left Martinsburg for

9:30,but reached Cumberland too late
to be OF any service. The entire

| gines and apparatus also responded.
