Codtesville, Pa, May 19.-Fire of
unknown origin, that started in the

covered by insurance. The building was
owned by c. n. Speakman.
The second floor front was occupied
as paint shop and when the flames
reached there the skies were illuminated
and the reflection could be seen for
miles. Charles Noll, in charge, asleep
in the Office, was aroused. He ran into
the stable and rescued fifteen head ii
horses. Cutting the halter straps with
whip he drove the horses out of the
stable through the flames into the
street.
While the fire was raging a[dozen
volunteer fremcn, members of the
Washington and Brandywine fire com
panies, went down with portion of the
