The firm occupied the corner
since 1869, until 1900 when a new
and handsome two-story structure
was built. The design is an Amer.
lean adaptation of the Renaissance
style of architecture.
The decorative parts were in
terra Gotta and the main walls and
piers in pressed and moulded
brick. The entire lower front was
glazed with heavy plate glass.
| which was blown out almost at
the start of the blaze. The base.
ment was capable of holding tons
of goods, not the least of which
were explosives in the shape OF
ammunition. The first floor was
devoted to sporting goods. hard
ware, guns, ammuniti ms and cy-
clery, together with the Offices of
tho firm. The building had IA
large tireproof vault. the foundation
for which extends through the
basement and rests on the solid
rock beneath. The second foo
was as handsomely fitted out as
the first, where all the c, clery bust
ness of repairing, etc, was conduct
ed. The firm was an old shin
chandlery jim the early days, and
still carried large stock of marine
wares. The firm had its beginning
in 1880 as Hall IL Dim0nd which
was dissolved in 1852, Hall con-
tinuing at the corner of Fort and
King. In 1865, William W. Hall.
the son OF the founder was admitted
to partnership and carried on under
the present firm name. The build
ing was a 1900 building and was q

The magnificent new building
OF +. o. Hall & Son, on the corner
of King and Fort streets WAS
totally destroyed by fire early this
morning.
An alarm of fire was turned in
at 3 A. NJ. and in less than fiji cen
minutes the whole structure was in
flames. The entire fire department
was speedily upon the scene, but 1t
was soon seen that their efforts TO
save the Hall building would BIZ
futile. On ac count of the vast
quantity of infiammable material
stored in the doomed building, The
flames spread with incredible
rapidity. Large quantities of ex
plosives became food fo. the flames
and the detonations caused by their
combustion smashed most of the
windows in the vicinity and were a
source OF imminent danger to the
crowd which had gathered.
Half an hour after the fire broke
out floors began 10 collapse and
soon after the entire front of the
building fell into the street.
The buildings in the neighbor-
hood were repeatedly in danger of
destruction, portions OF them
catching fire time and time again.
Only the splendid exertions of the
tiremen prevented the fire from
consuming perhaps the larger part
of the Hall and Levers e. Cooke
block.
The fire was first discovered by
the carriers of the Advertiser who
notified the police, who in turn
turned in the alarm.
The blowing of the fire whistle
at such an untimely hour, brought
many one out of bed to investi-
gate, and those who awoke were
greeted with aspectacle magnificent
and awful
The fire lighted up the whole
town, throwing Punchbowl and
Diamond Head into bold relief.
Above the leviathan ton. ues of
flame which shot ever upward,
huge pillar of smoke arose and
brOoded over the scene OF the con.
hagration like an evil spirit.
Despite the hour an immense
crowd was soon down, coming in
from every direction, in every kind
of vehicle, mentally attracted by
the fascination of the flames. Des-
pite the efforts of the police and
firemen to keep the crowd in check,
rash individuals repeatedly exposed
their lives to peril from falling
wires and debris hurled broadcast
by the explosion of combustibles.
The cause of the fire is unknown
but judging from the early hold
that the fire got on the building,
spontaneous conclusions is gener-
ally credited as having been the
primary agent.

ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING.
A Roughly Dressed Man Seizes Young

Special to the Register
FAIr1MONT, W. Va, February g.
Kidnapping was attempted here late
last night for the first time for many
years. AS Mary, the twelve-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Peck,
residing on Walnut avenue, had left the
NJ. L. Hutchinson residence and had al
most reached her home, she was grab
bed by an unknown man and some
thing in the nature of a shawl was
thrown over her head in order to
drown her voice. Mr.. Cation, VINO also
resides not far from the Peck house,
saw every movement of the fellow, and
started to her assistance, when her
screams started their watchdog to
barking, and her mother ran to her
assistance. The girl freed herself from
the fellow and he went in one direc-
ton and she went in the opposite.
Later, about 10 o'clock, another at
tempt was made, and unquestionably
by the same person. Pearl McCord.
aged fifteen years, was taken hold of
not far distant from where the first at
tempt was made. She and two daugh-
tiers of Mr.. Curley, who are employed
at the glass house, and had worked I'D
until $3.50 last evening. She escaped
also by bringing to her assistance sew

CUMBERLAND, Mr., February o.
Mrs. Henry Betz, wealthy German
woman, residing on the outskirts OF
town, made record for herself at an
early hour this morning by knocking
out highwayman, who held her up
on the public road.
Mrs. Betz owns bakery and was on
she diScerned an object in a crouching
position just ahead of her, but unmind-
full of danger, continued to walk on,
when she was suddenly confronted by
a man who thrust revolver into her
face and said Money or die
The woman made a motion as il to
take money from her dress pocket.
The ruse threw the robber off his
guard as he dropped his hands and
turned his head.
At that instant Mrs Betz struck out
with her right hand and planted a
powerful blow on the base of the mans
ear that sent him going.
He then made a mad rush at the
woman who caugh. him over the eye,
sending him to the ground. The high
wayman quickly regained his feet,
seized Mrs. iBetz, but she freed herself
and then rained blow after blow in
the mans face, sending him to his
knees repeatedly and making the blood
flow freely.
Mrs. Betz states that she would have
marched her assailant to the police
station but he begged so piteously
that after disarming and warning him
never to modest her again, she permit
ted the man to sneak off into the
woods.
Mrs. Betz is a strong, muscular wo-
man OF middle age When seen this
afternoon her right hand was so badly
swollen that she could not shut it.
