scribe for The Citizen, saying that
last fall he was an ardent advocate
and supporter of the Washington

however, had demonstrated the fact
that he had Jumped from the frying
pan into the fire" and that he was
partly responsible for the present
Democratic administration, that he
had now come back to the Republi-
can party to stay, and he knew of a
number of others who were of the
same turn of mind.

TWO HOMES DESTROYED.
Fire Consumes Properties of Mrs
Spencer and Mrs. Bush-Women
Have Narrow Escape.

The homes of Mrs. Cornelia Bush
and Mrs. Grace Spencer, on the Beth
any road, near Pleasant Mount, were
destroyed by fire that started short
ly after 7 o'clock last Thursday
morning in the Bush house. Mrs.
Bush, who is eighty years old, and
one of Wayne county's oldest resi-
dents, had a narrow escape from
cremation, escaping in her night
clothes after she had received sever
al slight burns on her head and
hands. All the contents of the Bush
house were destroyed, hundreds of
dollars worth of furniture and many
family heirlooms being lost. Neigh
bors summoned by telephone from
all over the countryside saved all
the contents of the Spencer house,
but could not stay the progress of
the flames that burned the building
to its foundation walls.
The fire had its origin in an over
heated oil stove. Mrs. Bush, who
lives alone, had arisen early in the
morning, lighted the oil stove to
warm up the house and then gone
back to bed. At 7 o'clock she was
awakened by the smell of smoke and
the cracking of flames that already
made big headway on the lower floor
of the house. The aged woman ran
through the flames to the roadway,
her hair was singed and she receiv-
ed several burns, but escaped with
out serious injury.
Two men on their way to work
saw the fire and called all the near
by houses on the telephone. Scores
of men ran to the building houses
and formed a line to save the con-
tents of the Spencer home, which by
that time had started to burn. Mrs
Spencer and her sister, Mrs. Emily
Mumford, who resided with her had
plenty of time to get out of the
burning building.
Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Mumford
have moved into the Osman Wright
homestead in Pleasant Mount, and
Mrs. Bush is at the home of Frank
Spencer across the road from the
burned building. Mrs. Spencer's son,
a Carbondale dentist, and Mrs. Lake,
of Binghamton, a niece of Mrs. Bush,
are there seeing that the aged wom-
en- are well taken care Of
