When the alarm from box No. IS call
ed out the entire fire department to an
ugly fre in the upper Market square
last evening, at b:45 o'clock, Market
street, from Twelfth to Tenth, was
crowded with Pythlan bodies, Just re-
turning from the base ball park, and
there were many spectators out. AS
the fire engines and hose wagons DASH
ed up Market street at breakneck speed
there were several very narrow escapes
scored by slow moving pedestrians
and It Is surprising that no accidents
resulted.
The fire was In the upper story OF
the brick stable in the rear of the
Farmers Home Hotel. located at Nos.
1908 and 1910 Market street, conducted
by Trosoh and Hadorn, and owned by
the Neuhardt estate. IN manner uFl-
known the hay in the upper story had
caught FIRE, and in a trice the flames
and smoke were bursting out Of the
roof at a great rate. When the de-
partment arrived the fire had gained
much headway, and It looked as though
the wings OF the hotel, which extend
to the alley on each SIDE of the stable
building, would be reached by the IRE.
but the quick and intelligent work OF
Chief Cline and his FIRE laddles soon
showed conclusIvely to the spectators
that the fire would be confined to the
building in which 1t started. The
work OF the firemen was watched by a
large crowd, Including many of the vls-
itlng PythIans. to most Of whom the
fighting of fire by n first class fire
department was both novel and inter-
esting.
The loss on the building was proba-
bly, not more than $500, and that on It's
contents not in excess of the same
amount. The horses were got out Of
the stable uninjured, but considerably
frightened.
There were exaggerated rumors In
circulation. one being that thirteen
horses, three COWS and two men had
been cremated.
During the FIRE there was intense exc
element in dlsreputable Alley c.. whose
denlzens believed that the thoroughfurs
was going to be wiped out by the fire
flend.
