fire DESTROYS STORE.
Shrill Shrieking Of Locomotive
Whistles Give Alarm.
Fire Company Does Good Work.

The slumbers of the residents of Thur
mont and vicinity were disturbed at 3
o'clock Sunday morning by the continued
blowing of the whistle of 1863 w., F. 4
6. engine and of one of the W. M. en-
gines which just arrived at this place.
Mr.. "Buck" Messner, watchman for
the w., F. & G. Co. at this place saw
smoke and flames shooting upward and
gave the alarm of fire by blowing the
whistle. This brought many persons on
the street and it was found that fire was
burning fiercely in the storeroom OF Mr..
L. w. Armacost, on church street.
In few minutes members of Guardian
Hose Co., were on their way with fire
fighting apparatus and in short time
two streams of water were being played
on the burning building.
Mr.. Armacost, who lives next door to
the stoor, was among the first on the
scene, and opened the door and with the
assistance of Amos T. Lucas, succeeded
in saving rolling top desk in which were
many valuable papers. Mr.. Armacost
burned his hands severely and has not
been able to do anything other than di-
recting the work of cleaning away the
debris.
The building in which the store was
located is a substantial two-story brick,
the first floor being occupied by Mr.. Ar
macost, who had it divided into three
apartments grocery, feed and hardware
and oil. The fire started in the main
room near the stove, but whether from
the stove being overheated, a cigar thrown
in box of sawdust, or some other cause,
is not known. A hole is burned through
the fl DOR near the stove and it is suppos-
ed that is the starting point
The firemen confined the fire to the
main room, the shelving, counters and
other woodwork being badly burned and
the stock of goods destroyed. The jolsts
of the second floor are also burned con-
siderably, but no damage was done to the
second story which is used by Jason Da-
muth Post, G. A. r., and by Col. John
r. Rouzer, owner of the building, for
office purposes.
In the rear room of the first floor lay
five barrels of coaloil, and had the fire
reached these, the entire building would
have been burned and likely other prop
erty nearby.
Mr.. Armacost places his loss at about
81 500, fully insured, and Col. Rouzer's
loss on the building will amount to near
$500, on which there was no insurance.
Mr.. Armacost asks us, through this
paper, to thank everyone for their SER
vices who assisted in any way at the fire.

had not "Buck" Messner, watchmen for

others than Mr.. Armacost have reason
to thank him for his services. Strange
as it may be, an extra w. M. train ar

The rustic of final departure was all
over the house. The people in the
box were stirring and beginning to
stand up; and Flora saw Kerr turn
and look at her. She wanted some
one to stand between herself and
Kerr. and it was to Harry that she
turned; not alone that he was so
large and adequate, but because she
thought she saw in him an inclination
to step into that very place where
she wanted him. She saw he was a
little sullen, and though she didn't
suspect him quite of jealousy, she won

he blame her for what she had actual

sapphire to Kerr! The very thought
of it frightened her. She talked the
harder, she even took hold of Harrys
arm to be sure of keeping him there
between her and what she was afraid
of, as they came out on the sidewalk
and stood waiting in the windy night

midnight noises of the city were at

a pack of wolves. What was this fresh
quarry of the press, Flora wondered,
that made it give tongue so hideously?
She had stopped her head to the
carriage door, when Harry stopped

a crier in the pack. She saw the head

though Clara made no sign. Her eyes
only travelled second time to Flora's

and white jewels she was expecting to
see another color. To Flora's palpi-

perfect connection with Clara's next
remark.

night when he was really quite start

Flora felt small, warm spot of

her glove and tried to look at it in the
dim light, but couldn't get a CLEAN out

lights to go up that she might secret

had been that afternoon to get back
from the luncheon and make sure it
was still in the drawer. She must
see it in spite of Clara at her right
hand, whose little chiseled profile
might turn upon her at any moment
a full face of inquiry.
She held her left hand low in the
shadow Of her chair; and if, as the
lights went up again, there was any
change in the sapphire, it was merely
a sharper brilliance, as it, like an eye,
1t had moods, and this was one of its
moments of excitement. In it's ex-
traordinary luster it seemed to pos

Through that narrow space between

moved her hand--a gesture so slightly
emphasized as to seem accident. He
had started to speak, but her motion
seemed to stop his tongue. He looked

the whole house be looking at nothing

was ready for it. She was braced
for anything but the fact which ac-

Seven poor children, four girls and
three boys, all about ten years old,
went to nearby seashore resort, in
charge of two women, for days out
ing. The funds for the picnic were
provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One of the women in
charge of the children said that the
boys had arranged the outing "of their

is this: They are not good boys by
