= Awakened by the ringing of bells
aud. the blowing of the tannery
whistle at 1915 TUESDAY morning,
the entire community leaped from
their beds, some to save their pro-
perty and others, through the good
ness of their hearts, to assist the
more unfortunate neighbor.
There was but little time lost from
the first alarm until crowds began
to arrive on the scene of the most
disastrous conflagratiOns Laporte
ever suffered. Men, women and
children all came with filled buckets
to join the brigade, and wagons fill
ed with barrels were soon moving
at high speed for a water supply,
which, sad to say, is q scarcity in
many parts of the town and especial
ly i'm the business center.
Some fire extinguishers were used
ON the rear of the hotel, .bnt of no
avail, the fire was now under full
headway and defied interference.
The work of saving the contents then
began in rushing manner.
The newly erected portion of the
Laporte Hotel burned fierce and
quickly. Long tongues of flames,
seemingly greedy for more prey,
leaped toward the adjoining old part
of the house which was soon enrap-
ed and the little shoe shop close by
soon conveyed the flames to Maben's
pool room and barber shop and be-
fore any human effort, with the
means assessable, could prevent, it
reached the Meylert store building.
With the entire square all ablaze, it
was one great torch that shamed old
Sol in illuminating miles of early
morning sky.
With sOutherly breez whipping
the flames toward Keeler's residence,
and showers of sparks settling on the
roofs of opposite buildings many of
which began to do evil work and
insipient blazes starting along the
caves, but willing hands with pals
of water upon the quilt-covered,
water-soaked roofs kept vigil in their
attention toward this danger and
squelched the little outbreaks when
ever they appeared, yet it looked at
one period of the excitement that
some of the structures across the
street would take uncomfortable fire.
Prof. Meylert's residence across
the street from the store building,
from the first, seemed certain to be
engulfed but the task of saving it was
not abandoned although the flames
had eaten away large portion of
the siding and cornish, ,extinguishing
was accomplished and the flames
were checked in their path of de-
structiOn.
THE THIRD HOTEL BURNED
This is the third hotel burned to
the ground at this place within the
last sixteen months and all have
strange origin. The cause of this
destructive blaze is not ascertained.
Nothing readily combustible was
stored in the shed that almost joined
the back Of the hotel where the fire
originated.
A goodly portion Of the furniture
from the hotel was saved. Some of
the guests and the family lost more
or less clothing. N. G. Naben saved
the contents Of his place, and Mrs.

spite the skillful attendance at hand
grew rapidly worse and on Wednee-
day DIR. Mutt, of Williamsport WAS

its end and recommended an opera
tion as the only hope. He wished
to be removed to the hospital and
was taken Friday morning to, Will
Transport, accompanied by his wife
and son-in-law n. E. Maben. The
operation revealed IL numerous sub
stance in the bowels which made it
a hopeless case of recovery, yet the
gre ltest care was exercised, and
effort made to relieve him of pain
until nature took charge of him and
gave him rest eternal. He realized
his failing condition and kept his
clear mind to the last. Sunday NOR
ming he sent for Atty. Mccormick
to write his will, and conversed free
ly with his wife until the last few
moments of the end when he became
choked and spoke his last words,
"my boy Harry, ] want you" His
son, Harry, was drowned when IA
boy some twenty years ago.
His body was brought to Laporte
Monday where sorrowing friends
met the remains at the station and
conveyed them to his late residence,

Among the great drinkers, says a
London weekly, there has always been
a tendency to place the Englishman, es-
pecially an army or navy officer, at the
head Of the list. The reason for this
singular immunity enjoyed by the fol-
lowers OF these professions has never
been hitherto explained. but there is a
system which explains the reason of
this thusness. although, as the writer OF

END OF THE PIONEER
FIRST PULLMAN SLEEPING CAR
SOON TO BE KINDLING WOOD.

The first sleeping car, the Pioneer,
built by the late George NJ. Pullman,
which in a very large measure, laid the
foundation of his fortune and several
others, has just been pulled into the
Pullman Palace Car Company's yard,
at Pullman, ILL.,, says the Pullman
Guide. It has been condemned. 1t will
scon be kindling wood scrap iron and
a memory merely. It's last use was to
help carry the Forty-third Infantry
across the continent on the way to the
Philippines. During the war with
Spain it was a tourist sleeper and as
such many a regular and volunteer sol
der made its acquaintance.
In 1865 the Pioneer was the most
magnificent of dts kind. It was sent
East and returned, the bearer Of the
body OF Abraham Lincoln. In the three
decades of its life it has carried at least
ten governors of Illinois, besides at
one time or another, almost every
Northern man prominent either in poll
tics or trade
During the Worlds Fair the Pioneer
and an example of the latest output of
the Pullman works We're exhibited side
by side. It was allowed to. rest after
this exhibition until the war with
Spain taxed the country's transporta-
tion facilities to the limit. Then it went
TO work again. Now the Pioneer is an
officially condemned CASTOR.
The Pioneer was built at Blooming
ton, ILL.,, in 1861. The idea came to
George Pullman while he was making
a trip on the New York Central rail-
road, in what then was deemed a
sleeping car The jolting he got pre-
vented sleep. It forced him to think
out remedy as well.
In 1858 he found time and Opportun-
ity to put his idea into practice. Then
he transformed a few day coaches into
| sleepers. They didn't work. There was
too much of the rattle about them.
Tired of these makeshifts, Mr.. Pull.
man called to his aid the services oi
the master mechanic OF the New Yorl
Central railroad. He staked his for.
tune on his Judgment, and then was
brought forth the Pioneer, at a cost O
about $4,000. Pullman was laughed a
for his extravagant notion. And wher
he decided to charge 81 for a berth tn,
/ other men thought he had gone insane
II Nevertheless from the very first tril
the car was a pecuniary success ant
others like 1t were built Immediately.
/ The Pioneer has a travel recor,
equal to a trip forty times around thi
world. 1t averaged fifty thousand mile
yearly between Chicago and St Louis
Its every other day trip was 2S3 miles
1t has spent at least twenty-five year
in actual travelling.
