BIG FIRE IN PRlCEBURG.
Two Large Buildings Consumed and
a Church Damaged,

Two large buildings in Priceburg
were destroyed by a fire, which broke
out at 1850 o'clock last night. Both
were owned by John Muskoffsky. One
was occupied by three families and in
the other Muskoffsky had his store
and dwelling.
The fire started in some unknown
manner in the basement of the store
but eng. The gong at Jermyn No.
breaker was blown, but before the
Priceburg company could get into
fighting share the two buildings were
doomed.
Attention was therefore directed to
saving the Methodist Episcopal church
Just across Lincoln street, from the
fire. The church structure was saved,
but the front was badly scorched by
the tongues of flames, which filled the
whole intervening space. A small
building in the rear of the tenement
was also damaged to some extent.
Nearly all the furniture in the dwell
ing houses, and much of the goods in
the store We're saved. The buildings

ized and faithful service of the Young
Peoples society of the Christ German
Lutheran church was observed last eVel-
ing at the church. The anniversary date
really falls on Wednesday next, but the
custom of the society has been to hold it
on the Sunday evening previous. A spe-
cial programme had been prepared Whlch
embraced the life of Martin Luther. The
anniversary sci mon was preached Dy

Henry, the 5-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William PrCsser, of Hickory street
and Cedar avenue, lies in a critical con-
dition at his parents home as u result
of being run over by a heavy drdy wagon
on Friday evening. Drs. Manley and
Bohn are in attendance and are doing
all that medical skill can suggest to re-
lieve the lads sufferings. 1t is not known
whether the boy ran after the wagon or
did not notice its approach, but he was
knocked down and one of the rear wheels
passed over his head. The driver of the
dray, which belong to Drayman George
Brown, heard the cry and jumping down
carried the injured lad to his homo. 1t is
feared that the skull is fractured near
the base as blood flowed from the ears,
nose and mouth.
Martin Brown, a resident of the Twen-
tieth ward was compelled to kill his
hogs quite early this year owing to the
development of a peculiar disease which
in its action closely resembled the rab-

this idea seemed plausible All three of
the hogs were shot on Friday and dam
ger from hydrOphobia aVerted and the
dog has disappeared.

The work of repairing the broken
sewer on South Garfield avenue, which
is being done under the supervision of
the city engineer, is being rapidly

opened for about half a block and
part of the old pipes laid bare.

were used, but fifteen-inch pipe will
be laid instead. About the middle of
gthe block a new sewer basin will be

sewer was broken early last spring by
