4 NARROW ESCAPE.
Harvey Owens Comes Near Meeting
 Death At the Altheimsr Fire.

Harvey Ovens, one of the brave fire boys, came within an inch of losin2 his life at the Altheimer fire this morning He leaned ladder against the burning residence and after securing a hose went to the top of the building, He was fight ing the flames in the center of the roof, but in his work ventured too far from the edge ot the house. The flames spread around him and huge tongues of the fire shot up from every side.
 The smoke almost suffocated him Ee called for help and the fremen kept two streams pouring upon his body until portion of the blazing roof could be chopped away and he was reached. It was indeed a mir aeulous escape. The spectators urged him to jump but he remained at his post until aid reached him. We are glad to note that he came out injured.

FIRE AT WARNER.
Williams & Madding's Store De-
 stroyed Thursday Morning

From Mr. ". r. Kirby, who is in the city today, we learn of a very disastrous conAagration which oe- cured at Warner Thursday morning about four o'clock.9
 The losers were Messrs. Williams & Medding, who conducted a gener- al merchandise store at that place, and Mr. H. c. Cady of this city, who owned the burned building. The fire originated in small cabin next to the store and soon spread to Williams & Madding's store. Buck cts were used but without ef- feet and the big stock, together with the building, were soon a mass of smoking embers.
 Neither of the owners of the burned property had insurance. The stock was valued at $2. 500 and the building at $1, GOO.
 We regret very much to note this distressing mishap, as the gentle men wLo owned the stock had just begun a successful business career.

DIDN'T LIKE HIS REFLECTION.
So Colin Chisholm Fired at it and
Rrnka the Mirror.

Colin Chisholm, y years old, of Provi-
dence, R. T., ran amuck his morning
with a loaded revolver. He went into the
saloon of Bernard Farrell, at No. $40
Grove street, Jersey City and fired point
blank at the large plate glass mirror
back of the bar. The shot narrowly
escaped hitting James Stack, the bar
tender.
Chisholm entered the saloon early this
morning crazy drunk. He handed Stack
a revolver telling him that he did not feel
that it would be safe for him to keep 1t
as he felt ugly. Later he returned and
demanded the weapon Stack gave 1t to
him.
Levelling it over Stacks head Ch:is7
holm said:-"I don't like the looks OF tnat
mirror
He had scarcely finished the words
when he banged away at the mirror at
the spot where his own features were .e-
fiected.
Stack lodged behind the bar and made
mis- way as best ne could out OF the
saloon. He summoned Policeman May
bother vino arrested Chisholm.
Chisholm will be arraigned tomorrow
morning in the First Criminal Court.
