of them hurried downtown.
Just as the fire was raging its fiercest a
singed but lively object hurtled out of a
fourth-story window and hit the concrete

Bill landed on his feet and ran safe

firemen had left Bill came back to inspect
the ruins. Jennie. a. mother cat: Matilda.

Wagner on the Job.
BY the time Wagner got outside No. IA
engine company's quarters he could see
the blaze shooting fifty feet into the air.
When he reached the front of the building
the blaze was f1aring from most of the
windows on the top floor. Nine streams
of water were soon playing. and occu-
pants of houses near the burning building
were as busy as the bremen, hurrying to
get their portable property together to
cart away in case it became necessary.
Many lines of hose were carried over
houses on Pennsylvania avenue. and the
firemen fought the flames at such near
range they were scOrched by the furnace
like heat. From the south side also they
labored from the top of a building, while

The clerks in Gen. Edwards Office

the horse is due to arrive here. They
have learned that it may get here in
about three weeks if everything is
propitious. They caused weak smile
to spread over Gen. Edwards face
however. by suggesting that it might
take a couple of months, as freight
