A Curious Resemblance,

J. Z. Reeves, a we'll known resident
of Bloomsbury, was the recipient OF
nearly hundred kilograms yesterday
from newspapers all over the country,
inquiring as to his identity withl J.
Edward Reeves, crank who appear
ed at Oyster Bay on Tuesday saying
he had come from heaven in an auto
mobile with message for the Presi
dent.
The crank in his more rational mo-
ments claimed that he at one time liv-
ed in Baltimore and as the only J. Z.
Reeves that the Baltimore officials
could find was the J. E. Reeves who
had moved from that city to Blooms
burg three years ago.
This led to the many kilograms sent
to Reeves yesterday. He stated that
not only had he not been to Oyster
Bay on Tuesday but that the only trip
he had taken i'll two years was on the
18th of last June when he and Miss
Grace Dawson journeyed to Danville
where they were married.
The life of the crank as told by the
Philadelphia papers bears remark
able resemblance to the life of Mr..
Reeves at Bloomsbury He is, how
ever, a good citizen, sane of mind and
sound of body and he is much chagrin-
ed and annoyed at the unfortunate cir
cumstance connecting him with the
sensational incident

BIG FIRE
At MAUSDALE

A large barn belonging 20 William
S. Lawrence was totally destroyed by
fire early yesterday morning. A valu-
able horse was burned to death and
but little of the contents OF the build
ing were saved. Mr.. Lawrence in en-
deavoring to secure the horse was ov-
ercome By the heat and smoke and but
for the assistance of William Reeser,
neighbor. would have lost his life.
The fire was discovered at O'Clock
by the crew of Philadelphia q Read
ing engine, who Immediately sounded
an alarm. William Roeser,a a pumpman
at the railroad tank at Mausdale re-
sponded at once and quickly aroused
Mr.. Lawrence who was sleeping sound
ly.
By the time Mr.. Lawrence reached
the barn the fire had made such rapid
headway that nothing could be done
to save the building.
Four horses were quartered III the
barn and Mr.. Lawrence at once set
about the work of Iescuing them. He
made three successful trips into the
building, each time leading out q
frantic animal. Though the lower
part of the barn was on fire by this
time and the interior filled with smoke
Mr.. Lawrence attempted to rescue the
g. Pa+nrn nnEGi hip m
loosen the halter the animal sucoumb-
ed to the intense heat and fell to the
ground carrying Mr.. Lawrence with
him. The man was in such an eX
hausted condition by this time thar he
was unable to regain his feet In
second, however, Mr.. Reeser rushed
into the burning ballding aud carried
him to place of safety.
Mr.. Lawrence was painfully burned
about the face. his arms and hands be-
ing also badly scorched. He was con-
fined to his home yesterday and was
suffering very much.
The barn was we'll stocked with hay
and grain all of which fell prey TO
the flames. Two sleighs, teh sets of
harness and many other articles were
burned and the loss will be over
thousand dollars. There is but a
small insurance.
Mr.. Lawrence is of the opinion that
the fire was of incendiary origin, though
he can ascribe no reason for so exc
cradle an act. His son Arthur had clos
ed the barn at six O'Clock Tuesday
evening and at that time everything
seemed to be all right. When the fire
was discovered the barn door was
found to be wide open indicating that
some one had been in the building and
applied the match.
Mr.. Lawrence will rebuild as soon
as possible.
