TWO FIRES YESTERDAY.
Gasoline Fire in Drug Store, and M.
w, Dorsey's Barn Burned.

The fire department was called out
twice yesterday, once in the afternoon
to P. P. Aherne's drug store and again
in the evening to NJ. w. Dorsey's barn
on South Market street. At $3.50 yesterday
afternoon one of the clerks at Ahernes
drug store was filling the cigar lighter
with gasoline, when a spark from the
lighter set fire to the shelf bottle of gaso-
line which was sitting on the counter.
The clerks clothing caught fire from the
blaze. and he became excited, throwing
the bottle to the floor and scattering the
fire. The fire on the clothing was put
out easily. but the gasoline blaze could
not be extinguished. Water was thrown
on it but this served only to spread the
flames. The fire department was called
but before it arrived the rags were thrown
on the burning gasoline and the fire was
put out. AS the gasoline did not burn
deeply into the wood but little damage
was done by the fire.
At little after s o'clock In the evening
to NJ. w. Dorsey at 11Oe South Market
street. An alarm was turned in but the
barn burned rapidly and was entirely de-
stroyed when the company arrived and
extnguished the flames. No one was at
home when the fire started excepting Mr..
Dorsey's ia ther, who is sick in bed. and
he knew nothing of II. Mr.. Dorsey left
the barn with his horse and buggy about
forty minutes before the fire was discov-
cred, and as there were no electric wires
or lamps, and little hay around the barn,
he Is confident that some one set fire to IL.
It might have been an incendiary, but he
believes that It was set by small boys in
their play. The barn was new one
story and a half high and was burned to
the ground. 1t was fully covered by in
