BIG FIRE LOSS AT MARIENNILLE.
David Mintz's Large Department Store
With All Contents Burns.

M%arienville has again been visited by 9
heavy FIRE loss in tho burning of the large
department store of David Mintz at an
early hour yesterday morning.
Shortly after $3.50 o'block guests at the
Keystone Hotel discovered the fire and
quickly gave the alarm, but when the cit
liens arrived at the confiagrstion tbs
whole inside of the building was aflame,
and entrance from any quarter was i'm
possible, and the only available freight
ng apparatus at hand "a couple of chem
ical engines-wss inadequate to cope
with the seething furnace inside.
The structure was the largest store
building in the county, occupying a
space 40x $50 on the corner of Walnut and
Spruce streets, two stories high and OF
solid brick. Its cost was at least S25, 600.
1t was erected in 1902, shortly after the
great fire that wiped out the entire bust
ness portion of the town and many of its
be It homes.
Mr.. Mintz had done an immense bust
ness since occupying the new store and il
was hlled from cellar to garrett with mer-
cbandise of every description. Not q
single article was rescued from the burn
ing structure. When the roof fell in the
brick walls, excepting part OF that on
Walnut street crumbled and fell, leaving
only a mass of ruins.
Tho a,,ounf nj l,oa on hnil1inu and
stock is only conjecture as yet, but is
thought to be we'll up TO the $50, 600 mark
with something like $50, 900 insurance in
the II. A. Shipe Agency. A frame struc-
ture near the main building used as a
flour and feed store was saved, after
about 81, 900 worth of the contents had
been removed.
How or in what part of the building the
fire originated is unknown. Mr.. Mintz, as
is his custom, was at the store at a late hour
and knows there was no evidence of fire
when he left for his home to retire for the
night. When he was aroused from his
slumbers and reached the store ne was
determined, in his excitement, to enter
the building, but was dissuaded by the
cooler heads.
The loss of this elegant block is a ser.
ious blow, not alone to the owner, but tC
the business interests of the town as well
and whether Mr.. Mintz will rebuild i:
not yet known, but it is hoped he may i
even on a less extensive scale. His prop
erty interests in the town are quite ex
tensive and it is thought this fact may in
duce him to put up another store build
ing.
The only other damage sustained wa'
by Editor Pickens of the Express, who's,
building on the opposite corner suffered
to the extent of about 5000.
