FIERCE FIRE
LAST FRIDAY
Residence of Frank R. Horton De-
strOyed in an Hour.
GASOLINE WAS IGNITED
Stove Did Not Explode as has Been Re-
ported, Nor was Il Filled
While Burning.

Last Friday morning at $3.50 O'Clock
the residence of Frank r. Horton on
the river front in the southern part Of
town was discovered to be on fire, and
in about an hours time was entirely
consumed.
Mrs. Horton had begun to prepare
the noon day meal, but finding that the
'Oil in the gasoline stove was low she
carefully turned the stove out and at
tempted to fill the tank. While filling,
the burner suddenly sprang afire, and
mounted to the tank, where the flames
spread to q mattress that was stored in
the joists of the building Immediately
over the stove. Mrs. Horton dragged
the stove into the back yard, and re-
turning tried to extinguish the flames
in the mattress with sand and water,
having in the meantime given the alarm
of fire. Her appeals brought the neigh
bors, and soon the alarm was general
assistance coming from every direction
but nothing could be done to save the
building, and every effort was directed
to saving as much of the household
furnishings as possible.
Practically all the furniture in the
sitting room, bed room dining room was
saved, as was also some windows, doors,
screens and the front piazza. Almost
everything in the other rooms were
destroyed which included Mrs. Platt's
room, where she lost many valuable
keepsakes of years gone by which she
priced most highly. An attempt was
made by kid" Matherson to rescue
silver teapot that was ON the dining
room table, but finding it impossible to
be reached, he knocked it into barrel
Of water that was standing near by,
and after the fire it was found in good
condition.
As the fire in the stove had been
carefully turned out. it is supposed that
in filling the tank a small quantity of
gasoline must have come in contact
with the hot burner, which immediate
~ ignited,
While the fire and consequent loss is
much regretted by everyone, it is very
gratifying to report that work has al
ready commenced on building another
home, which will follow the plan of the
building that was destroyed, but will
be somewhat larger.

but owing to the heavy wind and the

actions are "palpably unfair the News
had better have them mpeached ano
have the governor appoint some who
will pay all bills sent into them without
question, especially those coming from
the News office; perhaps then the News
editor would be happy,
had no desire to enter into con-
troversy with the cratic News man, and
had sincerely hoped that the kicks, cuffs
and poundngs that he had received as
results Of his vicious editorials since
coming to Fort Pierce that some de-
cency had been kicked into him, but it
seems that the vein of antagonism is
still deep. seated than any Of those
kicks had penetrated. Adverse as my
inclination is to going before the public
in controversy with newspaper
which, without any cause, INDUCES in
grOundless insinuatious and tries to SOW
the seeds of discord abroad in the land,
/ shall, when the officers Of st. Luce
county are unjustly criticized, step into
the arena and defend them, for they
are all, so far as | know, doing their ut
most to serve the county to the best of
their ability. There are citizens who
are broad minded enough to work for
the upbuiding OF st. Lucie county and
whose only aim and ambition is to see
every department of her governmental
affairs placed on par with any other
county in the state, and for this end
they are uniting their best efforts with
out hope of reward or fear Of punish
ment, further than the appreciation of
those who care more for a well regu-
lated, well governed county than for
the graft that sometimes accompanies
the formation of such organization .
the lack of which graft the News ed
itor announces as "palpably unfair. I"
No doubt it looks unfair to him, but
to the taxpayers there is ring to the
plan that sounds good and inspires con-
fdence to those who honestly want to
see the peoples money properly spent,
and strikes discordant note in the
makeup of professional grafters and
malicious insinuators.

OF RIVER AT s A. M

Good rains have fallen over the
State during the past "a hours,
and the river is now 8 feet above

prospects for a much higher stage.
The river will continue to rise at

and much. higher stage by Thurs
day evening.

Good rains during the night
over State; condition threaten
ing; preparations now being
made for 45 to 46 feet here.
Preparations should be made
for the greatest food in years is
the warning issued by Ridgway,
the U. S. Government weather re-
porter at Pittsburg, at 10 O'Clock
this morning. This time the flood
is coming out of the Monongahela
river, that shows unmistakable
signs of reaching a very high
stage before nightfall at Pitts
burg. This river is rising from
end to end and it's tributaries are
swelling rapidly and heavy rains
falling continuously for the past
eighteen hours over the Monon-
gahalia vally. Many fear that
the Allegheny river, which has
fallen at all points, will again rise
to the danger point as a result
of the rains which have fallen
continuously along it's banks for
the past eighteen hours.
The above is the latest reliable
news we can get about the flood
in the river. From this report we
infer that no person with any rep
utation cares to predict what
stage Of water we will have. We
can only hope for the best. Last
night we had a food coming that
would have reached the 3S-foOt
mark at Wheeling which means
flood here in the low situated
houses. This is a good big food,
but add to that a flood out of
the Monongahela river. the Bea-
yer river, possibly a food in the
Allegheny, all the side creeks and
streams pouring in water to the
river and you have the situation
as it is this evening. We do not
care to make any prediction at
this time, but it looks to us like
we were going to have the highest
water we have had in years. We
can see nothing else in store fol
us. We know what a heavy rain
we have had here since early last
night, and this rain has been gen
eral not only in the Ohio Valley,
but all over the upper country,
and it's all coming down. There
is no cold wave coming to stop
the water The river is now up
over Water street, in several
houses and is rising nearly six
inches an hour, and has been COM
ing up this way since last night.
People who have to move should
get their property well above all
known danger marks and then,
