Big Fire at Milton.

A very serious fire occurred at Mil
ton Tuesday night and only the heroic
work of the members of the fire de-
partment prevented the destruction of
a large amount of valuable property.
About ten O'Clock the fire was dis
covered in the ware room of the Mil
ton Manufacturing Company conduct
ed by Sinner & Son, which is located
along the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's tracks. A general alarm of fire
was sounded and the fire laddes quick
ly responded, but so rapidly did the
flames spread that the fire was soon be-
yond all control and the firemen put
orth all their energy in saving the
near by buildings.
Just how the fire originated is not
known but when discovered almost the
entire inside of the ware room was all
a5laze and was soon regular seething
furnace. So fiercely did the fire rage
that it was utterly impossible to save
the large amount of valuable stock
kept Ill the ware room ana the build
ing with its contents was entirely de-
stroyed. The fire continued to burn
for three hours and although the other
buildings composing the works were
threatened at different times they were
saved after considerable hard work.
The loss of the building is estimat-
ed at $4,000, covered by $500 insurance,
while S25, 900 worth of stock was de-
stroyed, upon which there was $50, 600
insurance.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
sparks from passing engine set fire
to the building. Two box cars on u
siding along side the building were
also totally destroyed.

THE PHENIX.
Legend of How 1t Lived and Died
md Lived Again.

Legend of How 1t Lived and Died
and Lived Again.
The ancient tradition concerning the
phenix has introduced into nearly ev.
cry language the habit Of applying that
name to whatever Is singular or I'M
common among its kind. According to
ancient writers, the phenix was bird
of great beauty about the size Of an
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
crest adorned its head, its plumage
contained nearly every tint Of the rain
bow, and Its eyes sparkled like dia-
monds. Only one of these birds could
live at time, but Its existence covered
period Of 500 or 900 years. When its
life drew to close the bird built for
itself funeral pile Of wood and aro-
matte spices, with its wings famed the
pile into fame and therein consumed
itself From its ashes worm was
produced, out of which another phenix
was formed, having all the vigor of
youth. The first care Of the new phenix
was to solemniZe its parents obsequies.
For that purpose it made a ball of
myrrh, frankincense and other fra
grant things. At Hellopolis, city in
lower Egypt, there was a magnificent
