by a mass of flames. She
Immediately took the baby out and
cried for help, while the flames.

neighbors soon came to her assist
ance and helped save as much of
the furniture as possible. The en-
tire front part of the house, con-
sisting Of five rooms, is burnt to the
ground. The kitchen and dining
room, which are separated from
the front part are not damaged.
The place was surrounded by
beautiful shade trees, which are
also ruined.
Mrs. Mierow, while trying to
save some Of her things, was slight

Chief Tobin, who is always
prepared for an emergency, had
with him bottle of vaseline and a

applied to Mrs. Mierow, relieving
her OF much suffering.

about $500, but it is not known
whether or not the place is insured,

Mrs. Mierow was too exhausted
to say anything when the reporter
called.
The fire department made good
time, but the house being frame

the best the department could do
was to save the adjoining houses.

HEARD IN EQUITY COURT.
the Injunction Proceedings
Against Vito GirardO.

In the afternoon Judge Archibald,
presiding in equity court, ordered the
suit Of the borough of Dunmore against
Vito Girardo up for argument. The
plaintiff was represented by 7. j. Dug
gan and /. H. Burns, and the solicitor
for the defendant was Charles H.
Welles. ',
Girardo some time In last April pur-
chased two lots on the west side of Elm
street. ,Dunmore. from Susan Spencer.
through one Of which lots the water
course or drain ran, caused to be erect
ed an embankment of dirt, clay and
stone on the inside of his front fence
on Elm street and extended 1t out
side Of said fence line about five or six
feet, completely stopping up and OBJ
structing the drain, and thereby caus-
ing the water accustomed to flow there
in to back up and collect in large
pool on Elm street, In consequence of
which a large body of water was
turned on said street and on other
public streets. lower down than Elm
street. thereby doing great damage
and injury to said public highways
and to the abutting property owners
thereon.
Divided Into Building Lots.
The land on both sides of Elm street,
north of the old pennsylvania COM
pany's line, has been plotted into build
| ing lots and streets laid out and about
seven years ago Frank Wagner, in the
| employ of Frank Spencer, Susan Spen-
| Ger and other heirs of the late Edward
| Spencer, constructed a new channel
| through the land on the east side Of
| Elm street-a little to the south Of the
| old water course and extended II across
said street and continued 1t over and
| upon the land Of Susan Spencer. widow
| Of Edward Spencer, deceased, where
| said water continued to run until the
month Of April. 1885
The borough fathers brought injunc-
| tion proceedings to restrain GirardO
from continuing to obstruct the water
course or channel running through his
| land by the construction OF an EN-
bankment therein, and that an order
| be made compelling the said defendent
| to remove the matter already placed in
said water course so as to permit the
water to flow In the course and direc-
tiOn 1t was accustomed to flow at the
time the said defendant filled 1t up.
| Proving II Was a Natural Course.
The afternoon was spent in proving
the fact that the water course had a
natural route through the lots owned
by Girardo. That Is admitted by the
defendant, and tt remains to be seen
by what right he will Justify his action
in erecting the embankment and chang
| ing II.
