PERKINS HOME is
DAMAGED IN FIRE.
Blaze Started BY Electric Iron Left
Burning Does Damage of $500
at Early Hour.

A fire started by an electric iron
left burning did damage amounting to
$500 TO the residence of Frank Per
kinS, SO Fifth avenue, at 2:40 this
morning. Only the promp. work of
the fire department saved the dwell
ing, as the entire rear end of the
structure was in flames when the com
panies arrived. The loss is covered by
insurance. Early last evening Mrs,
Perkins had done some pressing. Later
the family went out and the iron was
left in the pantry, but she had ne
elected to turn off the power When
the family returned Mr.. Perkins
smelIed smoke and found the paper on
the shelf in the pantry sTnoldering and
the window curtain burning. He ex-
tinguished the flames, so he thought,
with several buckets of water and re-
tired. About 2:40 this morning he
was awakened by the cracking of
flames and upon investigation found
the entire back end of his home ablaze.
The flooring in the kitchen and pan
try was burned out and both of these
rooms with the cellar stairway were
Quilted by the flames.
The department was summoned
shortly after noon today to the home
of Mack Lane, 2203 Fourth avenue,
where q roof fire resulted from Chin
ney sparks. The flames were ex-
tinguished with chemicals and the
damage was small. The property is
owned by J. G. Wyant

is CAUGHT IN BRADY JUNK YARD
Beast Leaps Onto Iron Pile and Is I'm
paIed There-Buggy Wrecked on
Burlington Depot Platform.

A horse attached to a light rig be
came frightened at the corner Of
Twelfth street and Second avenue at
IL O'Clock this morning and ran east
on Second avenue, continuing on a mad
pace TO the Burlington depot at Tween
tieth street. Here the buggy struck
an iron post and the frightened beast
left it behind, running east along the
Burlington tracks to the Brady iron
yard on TWenty-fOurth street. Here
the animal followed a switch track di-
rectly into the yards and sprung upon
pile of iron. The animal became
lodged in the metal scrap heap and
it required the combined efforts of five
men to disIodge it The animal suf-
fered several deep cuts and bruises
about the body from the Jagged points
of the metal.
In its flight up the avenue the horse
narrowly missed several automobiles
and many pedestrians. At the corner
Of Eighteenth street an unknown
man seized the bride, but was thrown
to the pavement, failing to stop the
beast. He escaped with a few bruises.
Mishap Spectacular.
At Twentieth street at &aSt a dozen
men stepped out on the pavement in
an effort to stop the runaway. The
morse ran directly upon the passenger
platform in front of the station, zig
tagging its way through trucks and
pedestrians. At the east end of the
platform the buggy struck an iron pole.
The horses continued running, break
ing the harness to pieces, and the dam
aged rig was left behind. The animal
continued running along the tracks
until the Brady yard was reached.
Luckily there were no engines running
at the time. When the horse leaped
onto the iron pile it hit its head a ter
rife blow against the wall of a shed.
Workmen in the vicinity stated that
the horse had a miraculous escape
from death in its plunge. The right
front OF wheel of the buggy and the
shafts were broken.
The outfit is the property of Nor
moyle Bros livery The same horse
ran away yesterday, demolishing q
buggy.

1t is reported at Geneva from a Ger
man source that Fort Moranville, one
Of the works defending Verdun on the
east, has been put practically out of
commission by the German lombard
ment. The Germans used twelve and
fifteen inch guns against the fort
concentrating heavy fire upon it for
many hours.
Fort Moranville is three miles due
east of Verdun, the same distance
southeast of Fort Douaumont and two
miles from Blanzee, which is now in
German hands.
Using reinforcements brought from
the east front and the Balkans, the
Germans are again pressing against
