FIRE ALARM.
The burning Out Of the Chimney In J. q.
Keisner's Residence Last Friday Ev.
ening Causes Excitement.

What seemed for a time last
Friday evening like McConnells.
burg was to have a very dlsas-
trous confagration, was happily
averted, and the eexcltementw which
ran high for a time, subsidized
when it was found that the DAN
ger point had been passed. Ear
ly in the evening flames were dis.
covered emitting from TOP of the
chimney in the main building, of
of the residence of j. G. Relsner,
throwing a shower of sparks and
balls OF burning SCOT, much of
Which was falling on the wooden
roof OF Mr.. Reisner's house and
on that of Miss Mary Daniels.
The bnilding immediately to the
west of Mr.. Reisner's is the resi-
dence of Senator Alexander. Be-
ing one of the most methodlcal
men in town, Mr.. Alexander is
generally equal to an emergency;
and for the protection of his own
property, keeps hose attached
to the water pipe in the cellar,
and ladder IN easy reach; hence
as soon as Mr.. Alexander was ap
prised of the danger, 1T only took
HIM a minute to turn on the water
grab the hose, and the next min
ute he was scurrying up the lad
der and throwing a stream of wa.
ter on the roof that protected il
completely from any danger from
ignition by the burning SCOT.
The chimney was good strong
one and took plenty oftlme to burn
out, and now Mr.. Reisner feels
that it is likely to be several years
before he need apprehend any
danger from that source again.

NEW ELECTRIC CAR LINE.
II VIII Run Between Bedford and Al
tO0na,

The prospects Of an electric
street car line between Altoona
and Bedford have frightened
considerably and talk of the pro-
posed line is current in the Noun
tain City.
1t is an almost assured fact
that the Southern Traction com
pany will bulld the proposed road
from Altoona through to Bedford
Springs. The name has been
changed to "The Altoona, Holli-
day ysburg and Bedford Springs
Railway company" tits said that
the organizatlcn will be financed
by New York trust company,
and that mortgage has been ex-
ecuted and recorded in the Rlair
county courts In favor of the New
York financial institution for ST.,
200, 900. The construction work
will be begun at once and 1t is ex-
pected the entire road will be com
pleted with cars running on it be-
fore next winter.
The building of the line means
considerable to Bedford. The
trolly would boom the famous Bed
ford Springs by making it more
accessible than it is at present.
The company has already secured
right of way which taps many
small towns.
