HOUSE BURNED
Two Families Rendered Home
less on Wies Hill.

Albert D.. Hennessey and Scott Saryer
Lived in Dwelling Hard Work to
Save Adjoining Properties No
Water Supply Except from Wells
500 Insurance on Burned Building.
A midnight fire at the home Of
Albert Hennessey on Wiles II ILL
burned his residence to the ground
last night. The families barely
escaped in their night clothes.
The fire was discovered about IL
o'clock after the occupants of the
building had retired Mr.. Henness ey
with his family lived on the first
floor, and Scott Saryer and family in
the second story.
Nothing was saved from the burn
ing structure but trunk and a few
household articles. Such Roadway
had been made by the flames when
discovered, that the people were for
tunate in being able to escape with
their lives.
There is no equipment for lighting
fire in this section of the city, and
s, way of getting water with buckets
except from deep wells. But with
these poor facilities for protection,
the crowd gathered, succeeded in
saving adjoining residences.
The house Of policeman Frank
Canoe was badly acorched, windows
broken and it was damaged to the
amount of $40 or $50 ]. w. Wiles'
house, occupied by Mr.. Snodgrass,
was damaged to about an equal
amount by the heat. Had it not
been for the great activity of the
bucket brigade, both houses would
have burned
The families of Mr.. Hennessev
and Mr.. Sarger are scattered among
their neighbors today, entirely
homeless. Their friends had to sup
ply them with clothes till they could
get to clothing store today.
A burning gas jet is supposed to
have caused the Gre to start, perhaps
by means of a paper blowing into
the flame. Or course there was no
suggestion of breeze in the lower
part of town, but occasionally there
Is gust ON Wiles Hill when it is
calm below.
No estimate of the loss sustained
could be learned from the owners of
the property, but it will probably
reach 81 200 to 81, 500. There was
800 insurance on the house, which
was frame structure.
1t was reported down town this
morning that two houses had burned
but only one was destroyed The
two families living in one house
probably gave rise to this report.
1t took hard work to save the adj
joining houses, but the fight was
successful.
The insurance on the Henuessey
house was held by the Morgantown
Savings and Loan Society to secure
it in loan made to the owner.

Cup d fender Again Shows Her
Heels to Sir Thomas Lip

SUPERIORITY IN SAILING SHOWN
Captain Wringe Buneles the Start and
Sends Shamrock Ill. Over Line 10
Seconds Late--lmmense Crowd of
Spectators Witness the Race.

New York, Aug, 26.-In a glorious
WHOLESALE breeze, over a triangular
course. 10 miles to the leg, the fleet
footed cup-defender Reliance again
showed her heels to Sir Thomas Lip
tons challenger, taking the second
race of the cup series of 1903 by the
narrow margin of | minute and 10 sec
onds. 1t was as pretty and as hard a
fought contest as has ever been sailed
off Sandy Hook, and had the wind not
fallen during the last 10 minutes the
record for the course, hours, II min
utes and Is seconds, made by Column
bia two years ago in her memorable
race against Shamrock H., would have
been broken. AS it was, Reliance
sailed the 30 miles within minutes
and SO seconds of the record, which
speaks wonders for her speed in the
wind that was blowing
Reliance's victory, narrow as it was,
would have been even smaller had not
Captain Wringe, the skipper of the
British ship, bungled the start, send

sailing the defenders superiority was
demonstrated. She gained 1 minute

Cup Believed Safe.
Based upon the magnificent show
ing she has made in the two races al
ready sailed it is the belief of many
experts that the cup is safe and that
it will take something better than
Flies latest creation to even bulge it.
An assemblage of excursion vessels
almost as large as that of last Satur
day poured down through the narrows
and out into the broad Atlantic to
witness the vanishing glory of the
challenger. The early morning had
held out but little hope of race. A
smoky haze hung over the sea and
the wind was very light from the

There is no change at the factories
which are tied up by the strike The
Seneca is still running two shops

some time ago. There is nothing doing
at the Economy.
No outside workman have yet
begun TO work in either factory. One
man was brought in yesterday but
after he was seen by the strikers be
decided to leave here. The strikers
allege that he was told as an induce

there was no trouble on and that
every thing was lovely. A shortage
of hands is what impelled the call
for other workmen.
