Fire Monday Afternoon.

About 2.l5 p. m. Monday fire was dis
covered In the wholesale liquor store
barn on Gordon alley. The fire started
In NOV full OF straw and 1t was only a
few seconds until it was hot fire. II
happened that street Commissioner
Clawbaugh and several assistants were
using fire company hose to open a
sewer In the alley near the barn and
when the fire was discovered they i'm
mediately turned the stream of water
from the sewer pipe to the barn and
this prompt work kept the fire down
until the fire company got another hose
connection made and the two streams
Of water kept the fire from spreading,
although 1t was stubborn fire, famed
by strong breeze. The firemen work
ed hard to get the fire under control, as
1t would have been big fire had they
not been able to control It. The
barn Is in the ear of two frame build
ings that face on Main street aud there
are number OF frame barns, sheds, &C.,
in close proximity. The origin of the
fire is unknown. John O'Hare and
James Hughes, proprietors of the
Wholesale, estimate their loss at about
5000, with 800 insurance. Two sleds
and one sleigh were among the things
destroyed. One portion of the large
barn was considerably damaged
Arthur Barclay, who was in the hay
NOW helping to throw out baIed hay,
was standing in NOW door getting a
breath OF unsmoked air when he was
knocked out OF the barn by force of
water accidentally turned on him from
opposite side of barn. Arthur was not
injured by the fall.

Fire IN Hotel Barn.

About 2.15 Monday afternoon the fire
company was called out to fight a fire
in the wholesale liquor store barn, and
at about the same hour Tuesday after
noon there was small blaze in Hotel
Imperial barn, but few buckets OF
water extinguished the fire and the
company was not needed, but the fire.
men responded very promptly to the
fire alarm. The fire started in some
straw In one OF the stalls In Hotel I'm
perial barn, on which Charles Grubbs
was sleeping. Had it not been for the
timely arrival of Lon Dickey, Imperial
bus driver, Grubbs might have been
burned to death. When Dicley stepped
into barn there was quite blaze in the
straw near Grubbs, but he was sleeping
soundly and was not disturbed by the
fire. The supposition is that Grubbs
had a cigar in his mouth when he went
to sleep and 1t had fallen In the straw,
causing the blaze and excitement. The
burning Of the straw and scorching an
old bicycle was the only damage dono.

Five foreigners of Camp Run, w.

given hearing before Squire ]. d.
Woodring in West Reynoldsville last
Thursday on charge of riot. The evil

trial at the August term of court.

These qualities have developed

made disastrous turns in Wall street
and had been warned by his father not
to speculate. They knew that he wasa
golden youth" not caring for BUSH
ness. But when trouble came in his
family life, his dignity in permitting
his wife to procure a divorce from him
under circumstances peculiarly pro-
vocative convinced men that he was a
dead game sport which is in some
quarters higher commentator than
all the Christian virtues catalogued.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has waited eight
years to let the breath of that scandal
blow over; has grown from middle
aged man of pleasure into an elderly
man of business; has done Just what he
liked andScared nothing for criticism.
When his daughter was married to the,
Duke of Marlborough, the father was
cheered in the street. It was a curious
popular tribute, not to the father-in-
law of noble, but toa plucky man.
The death of Cornelius Vanderbilt at
fifty-fve left William the head of the

but without showing the spark of
genius. He is n conseryator not n
builder. He has in charge the railroad
interests of eight male vanderbilts of

Mr. Vanderbilt built the Marble

she married Belmont they could not af-
