BAKERS NARROW ESCAPR.
Fire In Bowers Bake Shop Nearly Burned
Them to Death.

A pan Of boiling lard used for baking
doughnuts, caused fire at the bakey Of
William H. Bowers, Seventh and Jeffer-
son streets, this morning, which damaged

nearly burned to death August Moser, of
Fifth street between Adams nnd jackson
streets, and Frederick Regevar OF South
Wilmington, bakers in the employ OF Mr.
Bowers.
. The blaze broke out at O. clock. Messrs.
Moser and Regovar were at work frying
the doughnuts in shed outside of the
bake house. The shed Is under the kitchen
spilled some lat Ia the fire and instantly a
blaze leaped from the stove and set fire to
the wood work Of tho building. So rapidly
did tho fire spread that the bakers escaped
only after being burned about tho arms.
Mr.. Moser upon reaching tho street fell
unconscious. His companion went to his
assistance and when other assistance
came the unconscious man was carried
home. Now heis rapidly recovering.
While Mr. Mosar was being cared for the
fire was gaining in Roadway. A teiephone
alarm was sent to tho Washington house
for the chemical engine. Later some one
sounded an alarm from box No. ll6 which
brought out the district engines. Before
any of the engines arrived the flames had
eaten their way into tho Kitchen of the
building and wero fast reducing the
structure to ashes Tho chemical engine
did effective work for time but when the
blaze extended to tho dining room water
was ordered thrown on tho fire
The fire ragged for about fifteen minutes
and a5then extinguished. The fire conf
pletely ruined tho Kitchen and the small
bake house, where it had its origin, CON

bake shop In which there was many bar-
rels OF flour and sugar, tho loss will amount

Other property was damaged by smoke.
Mr. Bowers has insurance on the property
which will cover all his loss. He will re-
build immediately. During the excite.
ment Mrs. Bowers dropped diamond

Among the decorations on q beautifully
trimmed tree at he residence of Officer
John Il. Welsh was little rat. 1t looked
original and some who saw it thought that
1t had been the work Of a taxidermist. On
Monday some one left the doors in the
house open and the cat took stroll into
the parlor Pussy was terribly surprised
at the beautiful things on the tree j.
She saw the rat and knew that Kris
Kringle had never allowed the rodent to
come in his gilt sleigh. Accordingly she
made a spring to one Of the branches and
then jumped for the rat. 1t is easier to
imagine tho havoc wrought among tho
trimmings than to write it. Both tho cat
and rat arc gone-perhaps to tho Welsh
mountains
