families are homeless as a result of a
fire in local suburbs yesterday, destroy
ing two double blocks and partially
burning another. causing loss of S15,-
000, partially covered by insurance.
The fire originated in a basement oc,
cupiei by Peter Buscavage, and in a
short time the entire building was a
mass of rames which spread east and
west, destroying the residences of An
thony Lobus ami Edward Wilson. So
rapidly did the fire eat its way through
the row of houses, that residents had
scarcely time enough to save their
clothes.
A house, occupied jointly by Theo-
dore Halcavich and Paul Rubick, was
next burned, after which the hotel of
Stephen Homiack fell a prey to flames,
together with virtually all the furnish
ings of the building.

due to enginemen failing to regard

without change. constantly resisting
the longing to move or turn over.
As rule, by the end Of fifteen or
twenty minutes of this persistent main

When it comes to free attractions
Paxtang Park will have one for to-

that promises to eclipse anything that
the park management has ever at
tempted before. Manager Davis has
made arrangements with the Berger
Aviation Company for an aeroplane
exhibition that will embrace all the
up-to-date sensationalsm known to
modern aviation. Eugene Heth will be
the aviator and Mr.. Hith has a repu-
tation for doing all glides, dip spirals,
etc, that one reads about in the pa
pers During one of his exhibitions at
the park Mr.. Hith promises to do the
famous loop-the-loop. This Is the
stunt where the big machine turns
completely over.
The machine that will be used at the
park is of the Wright passenger-car-
rying type and the largest aeroplane
ever exhibited in this section. The
machine alone weighs about 1000
pounds.
Mr.. Hith paid the park visit last
week and looked over the ground. He
found everything satisfactory both for
starting and landing. He has prom
ised Manager Davis to do his fancy
flying in the area directly above the
park.
No admission fee of any kind will
be charged to any part of the park
