Three Bad Fires.

The two-story dwelling house OF Fred
Rudolph, situated near the junction OF
the Newtown and Wbig II Ill public roads
on Ross run, Kingsley township, was
totally destroyed by fire which broke
out about ten o'clock Sunday morning,
building. The cause of the fire is sup
posed to have been a spark from the
stove-ppe, which ignited the building in
the attic or on the roof, and when first
discovered nothing could be done to check
the flames. The fire burned so fercely
that within fifteen minutes the whole
house was mass of flames. Mr.. Ru-
dolph and his neighbUr, Theodore Leh.
man, managed to save the organ, two
chiffoniers, two rockers and couch, but
everything else went up in smoke. Mr..
and Mrs. Rudolph saved only the cloth
ing which they we're wearing at the time
of the fire. Included in the losses were
$40 in money, two gold watches and
three chains, three guns, two revolvers,
and all of Mr.. Rudolph's tools which he
used in his work as a woods jobber for
Wheeler X Dusenbury. His loss on the
house and contents will reach 81 100000.
which is total, as there was no insurance,
insurance could be had. Mr.. Rudolph
had his face blistered while trying to save
| the pictures of his father and mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph have the sympa.
thy of their friends in their loss. They
lost no time in getting new start, as
| Mr.. Rudolph was in Tionesta Monday
laying in stock of new furniture, and
they went to housekeeping Tuesday
morning in a vacant house which stands
near the burned home.
The home OF Harry Gilfert, at Licking
Vile. Pa, was destroyed by fire Thurs
day afternoon last about four o'clock.
The flames originated in the attic of the
dwelling and had gained such a start that
only part of the household goods in the
upper part of the house could be saved
Everything on the first floor was carried
out and t. places of safety. The loss is
| 81 500, on which there was an insurance
of 5000. This family has been pursued
| by i'll fortune of late. AS was chronicled
in the REPUBLICAN two weeks ago. son
was stricken down with pneumonia and
died. Another son was i'll with pneu-
monia when the fire broke out, but was
able to get out of the burning building
aud walk to a neighbor's house.
The home of John Christie, near Pit
hole, was destroyed by fire Thursday
morning about eight O'Clock. So rapidly
did the flames do their work that the
family was able to save but a piano and
lounge of all the household goods. Mr..
Christie and two daughters, Elfie and
Sadie, we're alone at home and were eat
ing breakfast when they heard a strange
sound upstairs. Miss Effie opened the
stairway door and was met by burst of
| flame which burned her hair and badly
scorched her face and bands. The three
frightened women managed to save the
piano, lounge and some pictures aud then
the beat drove them out. The house was
a substantial two.story dwelling and the
loss is heavy one TO the family, as their
winter provisions weEe all consumed
with the other contents. There was $500
insurance, but not nearly enough TO cover
the loss.

John +. Brown Dies in Philadelphia

Attorney A. G. Brown received tele-
gram from Philadelphia yesterday morn
ing stating that John f. Brown, of Clar-
ion, well known throughout Western
Pennsylvania, had died at the Bellevue
Strstford hotel in that city at one O'Clock
that morning. The family was greatly
shocked by the news, Mrs. A. G.. Brown
being a sister of the deceased, and the an
nouncement was alike startling TO other
stqusintances here, where Mr.. Brown
has many warm friends. The message
contained few particulars stating Mr..
Brown went to bed feeling well as usual
and died at the hour stated, doubtless
from heart disease. About three week 5
ago the deceased left on trip south.

A He-n of a Story.

The following from the Oil City Derrick
of a recent date explains itself. at least to
the satisfaction of the people of this neck
o. woods:
many residents of this immediate vicin-
ily who were undisturbed by the recent
high price of eggs on account of having a
grud flock of hens. Mr. McCrea writes:
81 notice several records of egg produc-
ton in recent issues of the Derrick. While
| don't claim any record results, l will
give my experience to show what can be
done in limited quarters. Commencing
January /, 1911, l kept a record of the
eggs produced by 25 Barred Plymouth
Rock pullets. and during the II months
they laid 4 Ol3 eggs 334 dozen and five,
an average of 1872 eggs per hen. These
chickens we're kept confined in an open
front pen, l2x8 feet, with yard 24xS leet.
This year have % pullets which during
February laid 420 eggs, an even 35 dozen"
Josh Billings once remarked, "Some-
body stole our old blue hen; wish they'd
let her be, for every day she'd lay two
eggs, and Sunday she'd lay three. Now,
that sounds all right for poetry, but I'll
bet seventy-tive thousand dollars it never
happened" And we agree with Josh.
We don't discredit Macs story in the
least, but il's dollars to buttons that, on
investigation, 1t would be found that he
has some friendly neighbor whose chick
ems are permitted to run at large, and
that he has so arranged his hen house
that the doors swing inward never out
