Water Commissioner Peter C. Buck,
Mayor w. L. R. Lind, Rev. A. Boy
Ian Fitzgerald. pastor of the Metho-
dist Church. and chairman of the
committee which arranged for the
lectures. Mr. Soaring is a member of
the Methodist Church. None of the
letters was signed.
The blaze had gained considerable
Roadway before being discovered by
John Lawrence, who lives in a tene-
ment opposite the yards, and when
the fremen arrived they confined their
efforts to saving the buildings in the
rear of the property along the Lacka-
wanna tracks.
The building destroyed included two
large sheds and a two-story frame
building, 80 by 300 feet, containing
building material and supplies. Eight
horses were rescued from the stables,
which, a few minutes afterward,
crashed to the ground.
Four treams were thrown into the
burning buildings, utilizing nearly all
the hose. The members of the four
fire companies worked for almost two
hours. A number of members from
the Rockaway department offered
their services. A crowd of 1,1O0 wit
messed the destruction.
The Office, saw mill and large
storage house were among the build
ings which were saved. About
twenty years ago a disastrous fire
destroyed the buildings and stock OF
the company, at a loss of $4,000.

A Memory of Burns.

writing of a visit to Dumfries, "T.
P" in his London weekly tells of
seeing the spot where Burns caught
his fatal chill:
1T had pictured cross or tablet
or something of the kind. What /
saw were two or three brick steps de-
cayed, gaping, with the mortar half
worn away; just three brick steps;
that and nothing more. 1t did not
make the spot less tragic, less inn
pressive, because it stood thus in all
it's common nakedness. It was indeed
far more impressive in its suggestion,
that of utter simplicity and merest
commonplacedness, which so often
are the narrow and squalid theatre on
which the resounding and immortal
tragedies of life are played.n
