HORSES BURNED TO DEATH.
Firemen Conquer a stubborn Blaze South
of Market Street Bridge.


At about 2.15 O'Clock Friday after
noon fire was discovered in the stable
of Riley & Mccormick, garbage con-
tractors, on Guthrie's lane near the
causeway. An alarm was turned in
from box No. 142, at Causeway and
Guthrie's lane, and the district com
panies were soon on the scene and Mt
work under the direction of Chief
Welsh and Assistants Wiley and Palfry.
After hard struggle the firemen sub
dued the flames but the blaze had
gained such headway, the building be-
ing frame, that three horses, which
were in the stable at the time, were
burned to death. The origin Of the
blaze is unknown. The damage amounts
to about $1,000, which is partially
covered by insurance. OF the whole
amount Riley & Mccormick lose ahcnt
81, 90 on the contests of the stable.
The building was owned by Jones
Guthrie & Co., whose carriage factory
adioins it.
Several times the flames communi-
Gated to nearby houses and also TO the
carriage factory, but good work on the
part Of the firemen prevented the de
struction Of any of the buildings ex-
cept the stable, which was too far gone
to he saved when they arrived. The
chief and his assistants, MS well as the
firemen in general, exercised good judg-
! ment, and it is due to that fact that
the loss was not more serious.

THIEVES AND WATCHMAN
FIGHT IN PENNSYLV LVANIA
Exchange Of Shots During an Attempt
to Rob the Gap National Bank.
ONE OF THE DESPERADOES HURT
Dynamite or Nitro-glycerine
Used on Vault.
BUT FUNDS COULD NOT Be REACHED

Lancaster, Pa, Feb. s.-.About 2. 40
o'clock this morning an attempt was
made to rob the Gap National Bank
at Gap. 16 miles east of this city, end
ing in lively exchange of shots be-
tween the town Waterman, David
Stamix, and the burglars.
StamiX heard an explosion in the
direction of the bank, and upon pro-
ceeding there found three or four men
standing in front of the bank building.
He demanded what they were doing
there, and was promptly ordered to
hold up his hands. Stamix quickly
complied, but with a revolver in one
hand, and opened fire on the burglars,
wounding at least one, as there are
blood marks where they were standing.
The robbers returned the fire, Stamix
backing away towards the home of the
cashier with the view of getting as
sistance. When the shooting began,
two or three men ran out of the bank
building and, joining their comrades,
disappeared in the darkness.
An examination of the bank dis
closed the fact that the men had made
an Intellectual effort to enter the front
vault, and then attacked the rear end.
They had bored hole into the rear
plating, and had attempted to blow it
open with dynamite or nitro -glycerine,
but without success. 1t was the re-
port of this Eexplosion that Stamix
| heard.
At an early hour this morning a
stranger stopped at Atglen, few
miles east of Gap, and had a wound ir
his jaw dressed He said he had re.
ceived the injury by falling from 2
freight train and striking piece Of
| iron. 1t is believed he is the fellow
who was wounded by the watchman,
but, as nothing was then known at
/ Atglen of the attempted robbery, he
was permitted to go away after the
| wound had been dressed.
| A lot of tools left by the burglars
had been stolen from the Toulouse oi
the Pennsylvania railroad at Gap u
] is thought from the manner in which
| the work was done that the robbers
were tramps, and not professionals,
The fellow whose wound was dressed
at Atglen hasShsen arrested at Parkes
burg, and will be brought to Lancaster
this afternoon. He has bad wound

BRIDGE DAMAGED BY FIRE.
An EARLY Morning Blaze Which Caused the
FIremcn Much Trouble.


Flremcn Much Trouble.
About 80 o'clock Saturday morning
the discovery was made that Market
street bridge over the Christiana River
was on fire, and an alarm was turned
in from box No II. at Market street
wharf. The district companies quickly
responded. the Washington chemical
engine being the first to arrive.
The tiremen found II difficult job be
fore them. The fire was under the
bridge, some of the floor supports hav-
ing been ignited in some peculiar man
ner, and it was necessary for the ire
men to get down on the centre pier and
fight the fire from that position. The
weather was bitter cold and Il high
wind was blowing, but by hard work
they checked the flames in u remark
ably short space Of time, only about
1Gx10 feet Of flooring being burned.
The bridge was not thrown out of ser
vice, but Levy Courtman Mealey had
the work Of making repairs begun at
once by Franklin Wills
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Although it started under the boiler
and may have resulted from Il hot coal
being dropped tlierofrom, while some
think it might have started from a
spark which was dropped from one of
the FIRE engines which passed over the
bridge Friday afternoon, as it might
have been smouldering for hours, The
loss will reach something like 5000.

down his ribs. He trembled as if
shaken with chills.
