Between four aud five o'clock on
Thursday morning, the Cannon
building on Fifth street, occupied,
by the McConville bowling alley,
was found to be on fire. As the
mercury was down to about twenty
below, considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting water ON the
blaze. The building was complete
ly Quilted and all the contents burn
ed, but by hard work, the fire was
kept from spreading to surrounding
buildings.
The fire was discovered by Frank
Callahan, and was at that time burn
ing around the chimney, so it is sup
posed that the fire started from the
chimney in some way. The building
was insured for $1,000, and the fix.
lures for 500. The latter are COM
plete loss.

A Strange Story.

George H. Thomas, successful real
estate man of Pittsburg, with an office
in the city and home at Lincoln Place
is trying to find out who he is, and his
story has some local interest.
Back in 1862 q Lutheran minister,
the late Rev. A. G. Waters, who estab-
lished the soldiers orphan school near
Uniontown, was sent from Pittsburg to
Memphis. Tenn, as a sanitary officer
There were thousands of refugees at
Memphis at that time. The war had
demoralized home connections, and this
much is known-that the mother of the
four children, of which Thomas was
one, was dead. The father may have
been killed in the war, or he may have
lost track of his children and may even
now be hunting them as earnestly as
they doubtless are endeavoring to To-
cate him.
At any rate, one of the children-now
know as George II. Thomas-was but
little over three years old at the time
he was found at Memphis by Mr.. Wat
ters. He and seven other children were
brought north and placed In the orphan
age at Zelienop]e, Pa. With him, he
thinks, younger sister, whom he has
in his mind as Julia, was also brough
north This girl Thomas belieYes, was
placed IN q 6cn00l aC hOcneSIer, ia.
Since then he has lost track of her. He
also has in his mind. from some scatter
ed information. a brother named John
Thomas, and sister named Elizabeth.
The latter two were older than Julia
