tnlrty people. The origin of the
fire is not known. It would be a
satisfactory matter to the public. if
the misfortune could be bridged
over by the Improvement COMPANY
and the management of the 2 plants.
II they could arrange to restore the
buildings and resume work in the
near future. The wires of the
electric light plant were burned off
and the town lapsed into darkness
IN an instant. Mr.. Troxell, the eff.
hcient manager had the plant in
complete working order by Sunday
evening. Tramps had been for.
hidden night quarters in the boiler
room the night previous to the fire.
Some people conjecture that the
tramps had someshing to do with
the fire. Others think not. Short
ly after ten O'Clock on the night of
the fire a man was seen to come out
OF the passageway between the mill
stable and factory to the street and
then suddenly withdraw into the
darkness of the passageway. The
citizen who saw him thought that
he was spying man and woman,
who were then walking on the op-
posite side of the street, but since
the fire he is almost inclined to the
belief that the man had to do with
the fire.

INDUSTRIAL PLANTS BURN
ED.

The town went through another
fire seance last Saturday night be-
tween the hours of 10 and -
O'Clock in which was consumed
the shoe factory managed by JOS
eph Ramsey and the knitting fac
tory managed by Karl & Etchells
and q dwelling house owned by
Manbeck & Nelson and occupied
by Perry Culbertson and George
Wetzler and a double dwelling
house owned and occupied by
George Weibel and John Beward
and a large dwelling house with
store room occupied and owned by
Philip Bishop. Bishop was also
the tOre-keeper in the house. A
stable owned by Manbeck & Nelson
was also consumed by the fire.
The fire as far as the public knows
was started on the second story of
the shoe factory. A freight engi
neer in passing saw the fire in the
building and sounded an alarm,
but it was a number of minutes be-
fore the fire alarm people in the
town could catch the import of
the train engineers whistle and by
that time the fire had made great
progress. The fire department
promptly responded to the alarm
from the regular alarm station.
The Patterson hose company soon
had line of hose to the nearest
plug. The MifflintOwn hose com
pany soon followed and attached
their hose to plug within effective
working distance and the railroad
firemen ran line of hose from the
warehouse down by the electric
light plaut, but they were all too
late to save the shoe factory and
the knitting factory. With great
difficulty tho fire was checked in
it's northward spread in the stable
of the Manbeck & Nelson mill. At
one time people standing by, who
could not help in the work of ex-
tinpuishment Of the fire, thought
the mill could not be saved, but it
was saved. Across the street east
ward from the burning factories
were the dwelling houses mention
ed above. The heat was SO in
tense that it was not possible to
carry a line of hose along the street
to throw water on them and they
fell a victim to the devouring
flames. Between the doomed dwell
ing houses and the river was piled

pants, who were so ruthlessly driv-
On from their homes. Most all OF
the property was insured, but with
ali that such state of affairs brings
about unpleasant and deplOrable
conditions. The fire engine was
rnn down to the river and did adj
m;rably. The MifflintOwn hose
company withdrew their line from
the plue near the mill and attach.
I'd ed i to the engine hose and in that
Wav enough hose was obtained tt
r.ach the fire. The large house al
the extreme south end of the stree,
was saved by line of private hose
