Burned to the Ground.

Lancaster has had another blaze.
The house of VIM. j. Smith located on
Maple street east of the old factory
lot was entirely consumed by fire last
Monday morning.
About four o'clock in the morning
Mr.. Smith was awakened by the
smoke which filled the house. He
aroused his wife and ran out of doors.
and discovered the house to be in
flames, a large hole being already
burned through the roof. He went
back into the house, tastily put on
part of his clothing, gathered up his
sleeping children, too little girls, in
the mattress on which they slept and
carried them out and to a place OF
safety There was no time for either
him or his wife to get anything out OF
the house except the clothes they
wore and few bed clothes.
The alarm of fire was soon given
but before the fire companies could
get to the fire the building was burned
beyond hope of saving. The efforts
of the iiremen were directed then tc
keeping the fire from spreading. Mr.
Jeide's house was in the most danger
and but for the pine trees which stood
between it and the fire it would have
required very active and hot work tc
have kept it from burning
The buildings were outside the reach
of the city water supply.
The Smith building was insured fol
$3.50 ana the household goods 70,
5000.
