A STRANGE INCIDENT.
John Kcener sees the Mechanical Hal
on fire half an hour before the alarm
Is given.

John Kcener sees the Mechanical Hal
ON fire half an hour before the alarm
Is given.
A peculiar incident in connection
with the fire which destroyed Mechan.
ical hall is the fact reported by John
Keener Of the West Side about the
time that the alarm was given. He
says that he saw 1t half hour before
the whistle blew.
His wife was awakened by the light
from the burning building and called
to him that his mothers house was on
fire. He jumped up and ran to the
window when he saw that 1t was the
Mechanical hall. The fire was in the
lower part in the corner next the river
and was not near the smoke stack
where 1t seemingly had started when
the flremen got there.
He thought that the alarm had been
given 10 town and kept waiting for
them to begin work on the fire when
he saw that no one knew about the
blaze. Then the alarm was given by
the electric light plant.
This goes to show that the flre did
not start where 1t was thought to
have originated and that had the Ore.
men been called out when it was first
seen 9 greater part Of the building
might have been saved.

Washington.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March A.
The Republican leaders are resting
perfectly easy now about Senator

Our wife is dead. No more will
those loving hands pull off our boots
