A Narrow Fire Escape.

What might have been a serious
fire was averted by quick action and
steady nerves last night. EAbout seven
o'clock L. Winkless, one of the deliv-
erymen for r. H. Burmister & Sons
Co., was returning from the barn
where he keeps the team he uses when
he was startled to see a cloud of
black smoke issuing from the swindow
of his room in Mrs. Julia Murphy S
house on north Mt. Vernon street.
He called for Prof. jolly, who was
sitting on the porch sof J. H. Robin
sons residence, and together they
rushed into the room but the place
was so filled with smoke that they
could not remain there, so they closed
up the door to keen any draft from
the fire and hurriedly found the
garden hose and attaching it soon mad
stream of water playing on the fire
They were finally able to get hold of
the bedding and drag it out into the
yard where it could do no damage and
then the work of putting out the fire
in the room was easy. The flames had
destroyed the curtains and blind on
the window and were eating their way
into the wood work of the window.
and few minutes more would have
had such start that the entire build
ing might have been destroyed.
No alarm of fire was sounded. the
two above gentlemen coolly putting
out the fire without assistance. Most
of the people in the neighbOrhood
were either at the picnic or at church
and help would have been pretty
scarce if' they had stopped to find it.
The manner in which the fire got
started is puzzle to Mr.. Wrinkles as
he had been in the room only a few
minutes before and there was no fire
in the stove and no one else in the
building.

Cleveland Press: There is short

already talk of a general shutdown

roads an opportunity to get more coal
into the city from the mines, and to
give the dealers an opportunity to
catch up on orders. There is hardly a
factory in the city that is not living
from hand to mouth in the matter of
coal. Dealers send little each day
and the next day is left to luck.
