Fire Discovered There Last Night and Negro Scholars Carried Out Trunks and Other Effects.
SMALL SIZED PANIC.
Wood Left Behind Stove Ignited and State Building Had Narrow Els. cape-Accident to the Fire Wag. on.

When fire was discovered in one of the rooms on the second floor of the Branch Normal College, the col ored industrial school on West Third avenue, last night, there was free for all scramble among the occu- pants of the building, which includ- ed many men and women, to save their effects. They rushed to the street in numbers carrying trunks, bundles and packages of wearing ap- parel and it was some time before the college faculty could restore or der. ~ENHW
 An alarm of fire was sounded by persons living nearby upon hearing the screams of the exicted scholars, and the fire boys hurriedly respond ed. Chief Tony Briner, of the Fire Department, went into the smoke filled room and with hand chemical extinguished the flames. Many of the rooms and halls of the build ing were filled with smoke and for several moments the fire boys were puzzled, as it was difficult matter to ascertain the location of the fire.
 One of the occupants of the room, where the fire originated, left his apartment and while he was absent some wood lying behind a stove was ignited. The walls and carpet also took fire and when it was discovered the fire had gained considerable headway The excitement that fol- lowed extended all over the build ing, small sized panic resulting. The damage, was only slight.
 While the hose wagon from en- zine house No. 1 was being taken across Locust street on Second ave- nue, a tire came off of one of the wheels and the fire boys were com pelled to stop and repair it. The tire was fastened to the rim with wire and the firemen continued their run. The wagon was in charge of Fire man Ed Perdue.
 Cti Briner says the loose tire has be-, reported several times, but the trouble has never been remedied.

Occupants at J.L. Armfeld's Home Forced to Flee Out Into Cold in Their Night Clothes.
FIREMEN KEPT BUSY
Four Alarms Sounded in Twelve Worcestershire Stove Exploded and Set Fire to kitchen-Flues Cause Trouble,

Fire drove the occupants of the house of J. L. Armfeld, No. 415 West Sixth avenue into the sleet and snow in their night clothes at an early hour yesterday morning, and almost total ly destroyed the building. Four train auditors, who roomed at the Armfield house, were away from the city at the time of the conAagration and when they returned to the city yesterday they were informed that their per- sonal effects had been consumed bv the flames. The fire department sue ceeded in saving large part of the building.
 The Armfield fire was the second or Tour fires responded to by the Pine Bluff fire department in twelve hours. Two of them resulted in losses, while the other two. were burning fines which were extinguished without ser ious damage resulting.
 The fire boys were called out at 7:3o o'clock Friday night when the roof of John Ezell's residence at Fifth avenue and Plum street was discoy- cred ablaze. The flames were smoth- cred quickly, the loss being slight.
 The members of the Armfield family were awakened shortly after o'clock yesterday morning by the roar of the flames and found their home en- veloped by fire. They fled into the street in their night clothes and were cared for by neighbors. The fire boys reached the scene early and suc- ceeded in extinguishing the fire. but not until half of the building had been gutted.
 The. building, owned by J. s. Alt schul, was insured in the R. H. M. Mills and Sons agency for S1,4OO. The damage to the building is estimated at $500. The household effects were also protected with insurance in the sum of $500 in the Home insurance agency. The loss to the household goods has not been fixed.
 The explosion of a gasoline stove in the kitchen at the home of J. P. McGhee, at Second avenue and Ohio street, was responsible for a third turn out of the department. The kitchen was ignited and the fire ex- tinguished. The damage will reach $2OO. No one was injured by the ex- plosion.
 A burning fue at the home of Ben Sylvester, No. no West Fourth ave- nue, resulted in hurry run and no damage.
