THE RESULT OF FIRE.

Fire broke out Saturday evening,
at the Methodist parsonage on Mar
ket Street. The blaze started in an
inclosed porch on the back part of the
house and burned so rapidly that 1t
was feared the whole building would
be destroyed. But the prompt ap-
pearance of the Winona Fire Com
pany allayed the fears of the large
crowd of people who had gathered on
the scene, and it was but a few
minutes until the fire was under con-
troll. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by burning of the SCOT in
the chimney, and come of the fire
dropping down on the floor of the
porch through stove pipe hole in the
outside wall. A can of oil on the back
porch was exploded by the flame, and
caused the rapid spread of the fire.
Neighbors discovered the flames and
gave the alarm, but i: was some time
before any one got there. Mrs. Worth
ington drove up town with DR.. Willis
horse, and gave the alarm after the
telephone had failed to find some one
to ring the bell. When people reach
ed there many of hem lost their
heads, and began moving out furni-
ture, tearing up carpets, and doing
more damage than the fire did.
The damage caused by fire
and water together will probably
amount to $3.50 to $500. The only
thing that prevented more damage
was the fact that the house was built
of brick, for had it been a frame
structure it would have been totally
demolished.

BLOOMSBURY, PA, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER f. 1897
ANOTHER FIRE.

On Monday morning about 2
O'Clock, the prolonged blowing of a
steam whistle aroused the residents
OF town from their slumbers, and it
was soon learned that a house was on
hre on Eighth Street. The two fire
companies were quickly on hand and
a stream of water was soon put on
the fire. The fire started in the
southeast corner of the house and
burned rapidly. Some delay in out
ening the blaze was caused By the
Wynona boys not being able to con-
meet to the water plug, and further
delay arose from the fact that the
force of water was not sufficient to
carry a stream to the burning build
ing. The house was occupied by
Daniel Hall, and owned by the Loan
Association. The building was neaf-
~ totally destroyed. Had the wind
been blowing a conhagration could
not have been averted.

EIGHT KILLED.
Fatal Fire in the Won Storch Mine al
Scranton.

The Won Storch mine, In the Pro-
vi dence section of Scranton, was the
scene of disastrous fire early Sunday
morning in which eight workmen lost
their lives and several others had a
thrilling escape from the flaming
depths. The men who were suffocat-
ed in the burning colliery are as
follows Thomas Hill, fire boss mar
ried, leaves wife and several chill
dren. John J. Farrell, married. John
]. M'Donald, single. John Walsh,
single. Thomas Padden, single. Two
Poles, whose names could not be
learned.
A rescuing party came upon six OF
the victims at 1890 o'clock Sunday
night. Five were dead and the sixth,
Joseph Yankowsky, a Pole, showed
signs OF life. They fastened out with
Yankowsky, and it is thought his life
will be saved. His rescue is one of
the most heroic in the history of
mining,
1t is said by the mine officials that
it may be week before the victims
bodies are all recovered, as the roof
is collapsing rapidly in the track of
the burning timbers which supported

A New Racket.

Swindlers in some parts have been
working a new racket on the farmer.
A well dressed and glib,tongued strang-
er drives up to the door and states
that he will pay ST. per bushel for the
full crop of wheat, which is to be de-
livered at the nearest railroad point at
a specified time. The farmer is re.
quested to sign an agreement to that
effect. The agreement afterwards
turns up in bank as note. The
swindle was worked to no little ex.
tent in some parts of the state.

John Kenyon of the Telephone Ex-
change, caught sucker while fishing
out at the Shaffer bridge on Tuesday
that measured about eighteen inches,
while four other persons who were
with him could not get single bite.
They all wondered why it was that
the fish, apparently the only one in
the creek at that time, should swim
along and bite fast to Kenyon's hook.
but they only needed to look into the
eyes of the lonely sucker to get the
answer, "because | had no other
place to CO."

A Watch That Winds Ilself.

The latest novelty in the line of
time-keepers will appeal to lazy and
fofgetIul people. 1t consists of a
watch which does not require any
winding. All that is necessary for its
owner to do, IN order to have the time
with him always, is to walk half
mile day. The watch does the rest.
These novel watches are got out il
several varieties of cases, some ex.
tremely ornamental but the kind most
commonly seen in Chicago Is made
with plain black case and an open
face. The winding mechanism CON
sists Of an ingenious continuance by
which a small weight is raised and
lowered from the jar Of walking. The
motion of tho weight works small
ratchet arrangement, which winds the
spring to its full tension, and then is
automatically held until more wining
is needed. A course of shaking up
and down for a few minutes will an
swer the same purpose as stroll
afoot, while oil the iolts and jars OF
ordinary existence are likewise made
useful as means of winding. Chi

One may briefly describe Crete as
the largest of the isles of Greece, being
about 1856 miles long and thirty miles
broad at the widest part; mountain.
GUS, but extremely fertile; inhabited
by 100000 Greeks, of whom $4,000
are Moslems, and with only three large
towns, Canea, Gambia and Retimo,
with $4,000, $4,000 and 5000 inhabi-
tants, respectively. So much one
may CLEAN from any gazetteer. But
not in that nor in the more detailed
description of the encyclopedia will
you find more than the remotest hint
of the fascination which invests this
famous island, Homer's Island of a
Hundred Cities, the birthplace and
the burial place of the King of the
Olympian gods, the scene of some of
the finest romances of mythology, the
burial place OF the great Spartan law
giver, and the scene Of some OF the
most interesting incidents in the early
development of Christianity. 1t is a
mountainous country and volcanic as
well-"A land of old upheaven from
the abyss by fire" 1T has scarcely
one bit OF ground that can be called a
plain, though that back of Canea is SO
called. New bits of land SO near the
centre of civilization are so little
known, and few are better worth the
knowing, for every foot of it is historic
ground.

An English statisticlan says there is
not much Of psychological mystery
in the fact that so many more people
commit suicide in summer than in
winter, and ne does not think that the
difference is in any large measure due
to the direct effect of cold upon
human minds and bodies. 1t must be
borne in memory, he says, that
drowning is the commonest method of
self-destruction, and resort to it is
difficult or impossible when rivers and
ponds are covered with ice. This ac-
counts for a part of the decrease.
Another part is explained by the cir
cumstance that in cold weather people
live more in association, and there is
thus less opportunity for committing
suicide. He does not think, however,
that it is possible to explain the matter
wholly without reference to the de-
pressing effects of cold on the nervous
system, and the exciting effects OF
heat. It requires some energy and
determination to commit suicide, and
this Is lacking in person suffering
from extreme cold. All these consid.
erations working together, the result
is that many people endure through
the winter a life which they have
ceased to value, and throw it awey
when the season comes in which til,
material difficulties in the way of con
tip9nu existence are at their minimum
