A fire in the basement of the AL
bermarle hotel, Livingston, early Sun
day morning last, came very near
being a serious affair. The go Oc-
cupants of the four floors rushed
f~rantically through the dense smoke
to the fire escapes, and for a time
pandemOnium reigned supreme.
Clothing and valuables were left be-
hind and many made their exit into
the street in scant attire. Four
streams played on the fire for two
hours before it was subdued. All the
occupants escaped with their lives,
but several narrow escapes are re-
ported. The fire was of an incendi-
airy origin. The damage, $1,000, is
covered by insurance. It will require
80 days to repair the building.

is being run into the hill near the
railroad track from which the coal

levels will be driven 1886 feet below
previous workings, and it is estimated
that this will expose on the three
veins no less than 100000 tons of
