FIRE AT SPORT HILL.
House OF Mrs. Mary Banks Was Entire.
Iy DestrOyed-Houses Nearby
Were Saved.

A destructive fire occurred in the
Sport Hill part of Dunmore at an early
hour this morning.
A house owned by Mrs. Mary Banks
and located in the row of company
houses. adjacent to Spencer's break
er. took fire from some unknown cause
at 1890 o'clock, and for an hour af-
terward the frame building burned un-
til every stick was consumed.
The house was in the center of the
row. and was dangerously near the
company houses on either side. The
rains of this week, however, had damp
ened the wood. and it was this, and
this only, which spared the other
buildings.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
an alarm was sent through the neigh
borhood, and in a short time the en-
tire community was out with buckets
and carpets.
The Banks house was allowed to
burn away. 1t was impossible to save
it and the people turned their atten-
tion to the other buildings. The Inde-
pendent Hose company, of Dunmore
was on tn scene. but water could
not be reached with the company 5
hose.
An effort was made to stretch the
line from the breaker, but the hose fell
short. The firemen then directed theii
attentions toward assisting the people
in saving the other structures, and
the Banks house, with every piece OF
furniture in il, was burned to the
ground

of the device into which the ends of
cigars are inserted. BY pressing down

knife, which is invisible before the Ci-

. Tie lady knew nothing Of the mys-
teries of this device. She saw the cute
little opening, and inserting the top
of her index finger into one of them,
bore down with her hand on the top of
the cutter. Instantly the knife went
to work and shaved off the top of the
investigating finger.
The lady drew back her hand with a
cry of pain and blood began streaming
to the floor from the wound. At the
sight of the blood she tainted and fell
