FIRE |MPER|LS
TUBING WORKS

A fire broke out in the Structural
Tubing works between 4 and O'Clock
Tuesday eve, which spread rapidly and
for awhile threatened to destroy a
large portion of that busy plant. By
dint of hard work, however, the fire
was gotten under control before much
damage was done.
1t is not known for a certainty how
the fire originated, but it is thought
that spark from stack nearby ignit.
ed some waste about the top of the
puddle mill engine, which is a monster
upright affair reaching to the roof.
Immediately above the engine the
roof of the mill is built IN the form of
a cupola to conform with the big
cylinder. When discovered the flames
were spreading rapidly among the
heavy timbers of the roof, which were
old and dry as tinder.
In an instant the mill whistles were
sounded, four of them blowing at once.
AS many men as could conveniently
get hold of it seized the mill hose and
dragged it to the plug outside the
works Unfortunately the coupling
was damaged and there was a delay of
about five minutes before the hose
could be connected.
Meanwhile the flames spread with
amazing rapidity covering a section
of the roof twenty feet square and
leaping high in the air. From points
outside the mill the spectacle was an
exciting one and it seemed that the
plant was doomed to destruction.
When the whistles of the mill joined
in the doleful chorus, which told that
the fire fiend was abroad, the fire bells
of town took up the alarm. The Wash
ington Hose company was the first to
arrive and at the very moment when
the employees got the mill hose iuto
commission the Washes" began to
play on the fire. From that moment
on two streams played steadily on the
fire. The Friendship Fire company
arrived soon after the Washes.
They already had their hose connected
when they We're informed that the fire
was under control.
Had there been high wind under
the condition prevailing it would not
be difficult to foresee what the result
might have heen. AS it was it requir-
ed the hardest kind of work ON the
part of the firemen and the mill en-
ployes to subdue the flames.
No damage was done to the machin-
cry, although the roof over the engine
was destroyed. The engine was some
what delayed but it went into commits
sion for the night turn as usual. The
loss, which is estimated at several
hundred dollars, is covered by insur-
ance.

PAINTING APPROVED

At meeting of the county commits
sioners held Saturday Samuel Lunger
was elected janitor of the court house
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of John Reppert, who filed the posi-
ton for five years. Mr.. Lunger will
enter upon the janitorship August lst
AS stated recently the first inspec-
tion of the painting of the river bridge
done by r. A. Simmons of Pottsville
revealed some defects, which necessit-
ated additional work. Two men, who
were to be paid by the contractor,
were put to work touching up the iron
work where the painting had been
condemned. They were occupied two
weeks.
Last Friday the bridge was finally
inspected by Michael Cain, who found
the painting perfectly satisfactory.
On saturday the report of the inspect
or was accepted and filed by the coun-
ty commissioners.

BURGLARS At
D. |. 8 ". STATION

The D. L. & w. station was broken
into Sunday night The burglars it
would seem were desirous of getting
into the freight room and being I'M
able to accomplish their purpose re-
tired without stealing anything.
Monday morning it was discover
ed that the rear window of the wo-
mems waiting room was broken open.
The lower pane of glass i'll the upper
sash was broken, an aperture being
produced large enough to admit a
mans arm. Through this opening one
of the burglars had reached and OPEN
ed the fastening, which is of the usual
sort attached to the top of the lower
sash.
After this everything was easy.
Once in the waiting room the burglars
proceeded to investigate. They found
the door leading into the ticket and
business offices unlocked but it would
seem that there was nothing in that
part of the station that they coveted.
The door leading from the waiting
room into the freight room was secure
ly locked, which was probably great
er disappointment.
The burglars retired the way they
had entered, seemingly without dis
turbing anything. On the ground just
outside the large door on the south
side of the freight room, through
which goods are loaded and unloaded,
the burglars discovered some lard
which dropped there Saturday when a
tub broke. Scooping up this lard they
daubed it all over the freight house
door, imparting to that portion of the
building an appearance unsightly, to
say the least. The inference is that
the burglars tried to force the freight
house door and failing decided to show
their contempt for the whole business
by distiguring the building with the
lard.
Two or three men were observed
about the station Sunday night. 1t is
now believed that they were the guilty
parties, although there is no clew to
their identity.

DANv|LLE LOST
ll INNINGS GAME
Continued from 1st Page.

SohIihuCu lIOuu lSL rage,
at scoring the winning run for Berwick
against his old team mates.
Berwick's run in the first innings
was the only one of the three scored
by both sides that was earned. With
one down Shatto hit through second
and advanced ON Patterson's s out. Bow
ers' single over the third bag induced
Shatto to dust for the plate; the little
left fielder making it ON one of the
close decisions
After that Berwick fruitless search
for tallies went on until the eleventh.
Some idea of the itensity of the situa-
tion will be gained when it is told
that in every innings from the first to
the eleventh, with the single exception
of the sixth, Berwick had men on
basses. Sometimes only on first, some
times on second and several times on
third, but always there, urged on by
the sweating, yelling crowd, to score
For the first eight innings Danville
was straining every nerve to get some
thing out of Musser to even that one
run of Berwick's. But in only three
of the first eight sessions we've the
locals able to plant men on the bases.
In the first Nipples two bagger was
followed quickly by the captain being
terson's error and pass put Brennan
| and Veith on the cushions, but there
they stayed while Third Baseman
Flaherty gathered in two pop flies off
the bats of Mackert and Kelly. In the
eighth base ON balls to Mackert was
| sandwiched in between three quick
/ outs
In the ninth Danville profited by
Rerwick's only bad session to the ex-
tent of one score-but one was enough
to tie and send the game on to eleven
innings.
1t was then or never and Trusty
Umlauf selected this time for his first
hit, single through second. Liven-
good planted a neat sacrifice which
sent Buck to second. Nipple gained
his sack while Third Baseman Flah-
erty was Juggling his grounder, Buck
taking third. Nipple stole second, and
Catcher Durlin, feinting for throw
to second, whipped the ball to third to
catch Umlauf. In the melee the ball
got away, and Buck scored, Nipple
taking possession of third base. Wag-
ner then hit to Musser and Nipple,
trying to tally, was caught in fox
! chase and called out at the plate.
Wagner got as far as second, but was
on an infield roller.
Danville hopes were again raised in
the tenth when Veith opened with a
| two bagger on the first ball pitched !;
! it burned few stitches off of the third
| bag and cavorted into left field. But
! Veith could get no further than third
while the next three batters went
| down in quick succession. The eleventh
did not offer Danville chance.
| The last half of the eleventh opened
auspiciously for Berwick with pass
to Flaherty (his third during the
game) Metzler bunted and reached
first while Flaherty was cut off at Sec
ond by Vieth's throw to Umlauf Hess
! singled between second and third and
pass, loading the cushions. Musser
then drove a long fly into center.
Wagner's return was not quick enough
| to keep Metzler from crossing the pan
/ ahead of the ball
