A BLAZE.
A fire in the Osterhout house, ON
Orange Avenue, which is occupied by
F. Keynon and family. called out the fire
department this morning about 8
O'Clock. The blaze started in an up
stairs closet, and but for the prompt
assistance of neighbors, heavy damages
would have resulted. The residence is
one of the finest on the west ridge, how
ever, but by the prampt use of the
grden hose, the fire was extinguised de-
fore the arrival of the engine, and with
only the loss of small amount of
clothing.
How the fire could have started where
it did is mystery, but it is thought
that mice nibbling matches might have
been the cause. The loss is fully cov-
cred bv insurance.
In turning out to the fire the hook
and ladder truck met with an accident
as the result of some very reckless driv-
ing. The truck came up Fair Oaks ave-
nue. at q tremendous rate and turned
into West Colorado street, which is only
partially paved, running into a barrel
and smashing several spokes out of the
front wheel and narrowly escaping
crashing into carriage standing on the
side of the street.
Such driving through our narrow
streets is constant menace to life and
limb and more care should be used in
handling the truck.
A PLEASANT EVENT.
The observance of Columbus day by
the Y. M. @. A. lyceum laet evening was
a most enjoyable affair. Every seat in
Strons's hall was filed and the ante
room as we'll.
The hall was very prettily decorated
with flowers and flags. and the large
audience was both interested and de-
lighted by the evenings programme.
The Grafton by j. q. Rossiter was
brief summary of Americas history aud
the Pinta's gun, and the shout of land
announced the new world.
The papers read by W. N. Campbell
and Wendell b. B. Taylor on what is the
L. l.. A. and the history OF the league
respectively we're interesting documents,
illustrating the methods and showing
the growth OF the league.
