DUBOIS, Pa, Jan. THE large general
store of Bell 81 Lewis at this place, was
burned to the first story yesterday, and the
stock of merchandise was totally ruined
by water The loss will reach S75, 600 The
store was known as the "Company's
Store, and is generally thought to have
been owned by Bell Lewis & Yates the
coal operators, whose miners are out on
strike, and it is the prevailing belief that
the fire was incendiary in its origin. The
miners say they believe the company is
trying to disrupt their union, and that

The Thawing Helped to Make the
PavementS Clean.
The rain and fall in the temperature
has had beneficial effect for pavement
travellers. The hard -caked snow and
ice that made walking so dangerous the
past few days has been converted into
slush and most of it has been
drained into the cutters. The
shovel and broom brigades can do
good work now at an expense Of very
little exertion They have made charges
in many parts Of town and nice, clean
pavements mark the work. The rain that
fell Saturday night and early yester-
day morning was quickly converted
into ice by the low temperature
and made the pavements very dangerous
for pedestrians. Falls were numerous,
but no serious results were reported. The
electric railways were considerably EN-.
barrassed yesterday morning. The ice
accumulated on the trolley wires and
clogged the trolley wheels, and the wires
had to be cleaned by running the cars
full speed for short distances and then
run them back and making another squirt
forward. Each squirt stripped the ice
from the wire for distance of about
twenty or thirty feet. 1t was slow and
tedious work. The Lakeside road got II
full operation by noon yesterday. The
Schuylkill Traction Company got to the
corner Of Main and Centre streets las
