A PRETTY CLOSE CALL
Fire Breaks Out on East Com
mercial Avenue.
IT WAS QUICKLY SUBDUED
Originated In . Shed Behind the Domestic
Bakery and Restaurant-Cohen q
Friedmsn's Clothing Stock
Was Damaged.

The business block on the south side
Of East Commercial avenue between
Oak and Cherry streets, had a mighty
close a from destruction by fire
last evening. Five minutes more
would have given the fire such
q Roadway among the infiammable
frame buildings that IL woulh have
been a dificult matter to have put a
stop to It AS 1t is. about the only dam
longing to Cohen & Friedman. proprie-
tors of the Golden Rule. This damage
is due to water.
The fire started in a meat shed be-
hind the Domestic bakery and restau-
rant. where a lamp was placed on a
shelf just below the roof. and the flame
from this lamp ignited the wood. The
Domestic bakery adjoins the store Of
Cohen & Friedman on the west. Be-
hind the clothing store there Is also a
wooden shed. and the flames .communi-
Gated to this shed in a m
whole was in a blaze In a moment. and
the fames shot high into the air.
An alarm of fire was SEN in from
box "a, at the corner of Commercial
avenue and Cherry street. and the de-
partment was soon on the scene. The
fire in h sheds was quickly subdued.
In throwing n Of the streams of
water onto the buildings, IL knocked
out a pane OF glass in the rear door
Of the clothing store and fell upon a
portion of the stock. damaging IL to
some extent. The only other damage
was the destruction of a big stock of
meat n poultry which belonged to
the Domestic bakery, and which was
In the shed where the fire originated.
There are a number of frame build
ings in the rear of the business houses
on Commercial avenue. and IL would
have taken but an instant longer for
the fire to communicate to these. Had
II done so the business houses in the
entire block. especially those of frame.
would have been endangered.
The loss on the stock of clothing OF
Cohen & Friedman is fully covered by
insurance, as 10 also the building. The
loss to the Domestic people. however,
Is a total one, as no insurance was car
ried on their stock.
After the fire the insurance firm of
Mahoney & Smith presented to Chief
Mentrum OF the department a check
for SIS, which is to be the nucleus for
the new department library. The pres
entation was made as a token of APP
probation of the splendid work of the
department i'm handling the fire and
keeping the loss down to the mini
mum.

NO USE Foa A BAROMETER.
Not II You Have Red Ants and Watch
Them, Says u Man From Steuben.

IF you have any red ants about
your premises" said a veracious Steu-
ben county man, you won't need any
barometer to tell you whether it's GO
ing to rain or not-not IL you keep
your eye on the red ants. 1 found
that out long, long ago. A colony of
these lively and persistent little insects
settled in my back yard, where they
made their nest in the ground and
proceeded to carry out whatever mis-
sion they had. One day l noticed
them scurrying up out of the hole in
the ground where they lived, each ant
carrying a little white thing in Its
mouth, which 1 o discovered was
one of the colony's supply of ants
eggs. The weather had been very dry
for weeks, and there was at that mo-
ment no more sign of the long drought
being broker n there a that an
earthquake was going to set things
tumbling. i noticed that the ants went
in a steady stream towards the house,
which was only a few feet away,
where they climbed on the Jack
porch, disappeared beneath an old
trunk that was there, came out with
out the eggs and hurried back to the
nest after another lot. This curious
transfer of eggs from the nest to the
hiding place beneath the trunk on the
porch occupied nearly all day. 1t was
puzzling me not a little when an old
friend of mine from the town of Wood
hull, where they enc everything,
happened to drop in to see me. and 1
mentioned the singular action Of the
ants to him.
That's the best news I've heard
this year!' said he. Itn rain before
morning and it'll be a soaker. too.
Those ants know 1t and they've jus.
moved their eggs from the nest to
save 'em from being drowned out.
That's all. They'll always do IT just
before an old soaker of a rain. like
the one thatll be here some time to-
night. Red ants know a heap about
the weather.
Il didn't take much stock i'm my
friends explanation of the ant move
ment. although he did come from
Woodruff, but i was walked up some
time along in the night by the noise
of about the hardest downpour of rain
that i had almos ever heard. IL
rained right along for two days. and
IL IL wasn't an old soaker then / don't
n h an old soaker is.
RED ants and Woodruff against
all creation!' said 1. after thinking the
matter over.
The weather came on nice and
bright after that rain. and everything
was dried off in the course of a day.
Then what did those ants Of mine do
but tote all of those eggs from the
shelter of the trunk on the porch back
TO the nest in the ground and deposit
them in their subterranean cells again,
all in fine shape and condition for
Matching a future colony. which they
wouldn't have been IL their c~ustod!ans
hadn't been boss weather prognosti-
gators n put them out of the way
OF the coming iood. After that I KEEP
my eye on my red ants. and they new
er failed to warn me during their sea-
son of the approach OF a hard rain
storm, much TO my profit. Watch
your red ants. IL you've got any. and
throw away your barometer. New

The infantry suffered terribly. 1t was
impossible to advance along the narrow
track, and when the guns were ordered
up the situation was in no way better
ed. Nearly every horse was killed or
woundedA A deep ditch, cut across the
road, hindered effective action, and the
only position where reply to the enemy
fire was possible lay beyond this obsta-
Gle. Despite the losses of his command
Jackson managed to lift one gun across
by hand, but his men became democrat

The example of their lieutenant,
walking up and down on the shot swept
road and exclaiming calmly: "There is
no danger, see? | am not hit, failed to
inspire them with confidence. Many
had already fallen. The infantry, Vi tn
the exception of small escort, which
held its ground with difficulty, had dis.
appeared and General Worth, observ-
ing Jackson's perilous situation, sent
him orders to retire. He replied it was
more dangerous to withdraw than to
stand fast and if they would give him

EDITOR OF The Owosso TIMEs:-
l see by your paper Of the 25th that Mr..
/. ID. ii. Ralph had a communication
censurinR me for introducing reso ton
at our last council meeting to have rels-
bach burners placed on the gas jets the
city hall building. Now the facts q. the
case are simply these:
We have eighteen electric lights in the
building'the we use, four of them burn all
night, the others as we happen to need
them. The bill for the month of October
was S2470. / thought that rather high
as only four burn all night At the same
time Mr.. Ralpb is furn shing single lights
to other parties to burn all night for 81
per month. Now, providing that we
have burned all of the eighteen lights all
night, which we never have, the bill &C
cording to what he has charged others
should have been SIS instead of S24.7O; a
slight difference as you will readily per-
reive. Before introducing the resolution
/ went to Mr.. Ralph and asked him if he
could not make us lower rate for light
ing the building He informed me that
he could not as he was giving us lower
rate than anyone else was getting. That
being the case l thought it advisable to
try gas for short time. If gas proved a
cheaper light am in favor of gas. If not,
! am in favor of electric light. will say
to Mr.. Ralph that if he is afraid of legiti-
mate competition he had better 60 out of
business. In regard to to the bridge mat
ter, would say that on the fourth of
October left O%osso to accompany my
father to California, it being his wish
that should go with him as he is getting
old and did not wish to make the journey
alone. 1t was agreed before 1 left that
the other two members of the committee
would look after the work in nv absence
l expected on my return, which was the
Sth of November, to find the abutments
completed, but, as everyone knows, they
were not. Since my return the other
members of the committee and myself
have done everything possible to hurry
up the work. j. T. WALSH,
