aliens delays in getting the fire appa-

one of the most disastrous firefiouth Nero
Hulk has experienced in many months.

about one hundred feet in the rear of his
Woe on Washington street, and sur-
twnded by other buildings, none of
which. luckily, took fire.
About 4:50 o’clock people on Clay
street saw thick smoke and flames rising
from the south side of the barn, and
finest at- the same instant Jacob Lina-
weiler, who was coming from the cellar
Of his saloon on Railroad Place. saw
__ llamas shoot out of a window on the east
side of the building, where the stalls are
located. He hastened into his place of
business, shouted that there wasa fire,

‘ flo'll'l‘he the horse had been out for the first
‘ tine, yesterday, working on the streets
‘ iu’the central part of the city, in accor-
dance with a vote passed at the Council
meeting last Monday night. Driver
Bamuel McGowan had just taken the
horse to the hose house and was unhar-
neuing him from the dump cart when
the bell struck. He hurried the opera-
"tion and soon had the animal hitched be-
, fore the supply wagon, and drove him
into Mr. Ely’s dooryard. 0n the way he
wasobliged to drive on the sidewalk and
narly stopped once to avoid collision
with wagons that blocked his progress.
Here delay and trouble began. The
horse was taken from before the wagon in
the yard, and consequently the wrong
1 end of the cart was toward the hydrant,
. sud much trouble was caused in making
_ the connection. When the water was
, turned on, and before it had had time to
reach the nozzle which the firemen were
holding on the other end, the water
shot out of the side of a length of
bone. The hydrant was shut oil
while another length was substituted
for the ruptured one. The
water was no sooner turned on again
than it flew out of a hole in anather
length of hose. This was also detached,
and by the time things were straightened
out about sixteen minutes had elapsed
oi the arrival of the wagon. In the
‘ ' I:htirne err-Chief McGowan had driven
the wagon to Clay street, where a line
of hoaewss laid. The men who handled
lgvlnnis sheldon, O. R. Mumford and

William Hatfield, experienced consider-

abledifllcnlty, as the nozzle had been

hentinsucha way that some minutes
were required toconnect it withthe hose.

When it was finally adjusted and the

watsrturned on, Mr. Hatfield was left

alone, and was unable to control the
streen. Other firemen went to his as«
sbtance, however, and they had the sat-
ldsotion of getting first water on the fire.
Shortly afterward a stream was turned
_ on the barn from the north side, and
when the flames had been somewhat subv
" deed a ladder was placed against the
building. and Ovle Froderlch, Warren
Smith, E. E. Caawell and George Muller,
duplte the intense heat and the dense
volumes of smoke continually rolling out
of the doors and windows, worked their
way up and plueklly stuck to their post
for some time. The tire was almost over-
powering. however, and soon Mr. Fred-
. erlch, who was the leader on the ladder,
. fell back exhausted. Mr. Smith caught
him and held him for a moment, but
was obliged to let go his hold,asMr.

the fire, or the probabilities are that the
animal would have perished in the
flames. There was an insurance of 3250

on buy, grain and feed.

Thebreaking of two lengths of hose
and the trouble with a nozzle on another
lengthare considered very strange cir-
cumstances; especially thtt hose in fairly
good condition should burst when there
was so little water pressure. There were
numerous hints, and some open remarks
made that the lengths had been cut to
hinder the work of the firemen, and
concerts much less as possible. but at a
late hour last night Chief Baker or Driv-
er McGowan had not examined them,
and nothing could be learned about the
matter. It was thought this. morning,
when they were examined that they had
not been tampered with.

Mr. Ely will probably rebuild at once,
but not such an expensive barn as the
one destroyed.

John Cullen, Mr. Ely ’sstahleman, was
at work” in the of the barn, loading
manure. Whe e saw the smoke pour-
ing out of one of the windows, be rushed
to the front of the building. but was
unable to enter. He lost a valuable
watch and a small amount of money,
which was in his vest in the barn, besides
his coat and a winter overcoat.

About midnight of August 25, 1884.
nearly ten years ago, fire broke out
in Mr. Ely’s barn, causing close of $1,100.
That fire was also due to spontaneous
combustion.

The fireis supposed to have had its
origin in one of the unused stalls, where
considerable bay of second quality was
stored, and to have been due to spon-
taneous combustion. A blaze was seen
in the early stage of the fire, issu-
ing from a round window at the head
of one of the stalls. The flames proba-
bly shot up into the loft through a chute
used to convey lmyto the horses, and
the new was evilently all alire before
the blaze became outwardly visible.

IT WAS A FEAST lNlIEl-Ili.

 

The Peach Fit Club Give Their Annual
Spread at The Knob.

A happy party assembled at The Knob,
last night. It consisted of what is term-
ed “The Peach Pit club," a name signifi-
cant or insignificant, according to
knowledgeof its inception. The society
is composed of lady members of The
Knob, and it has existed for three years
without officers or treasury, with the un-
written law that once a reason, at least,
the ladies provide for their husbands and
gentlemen friends a genuine feast and
entertainment. The gathering, last
night, numbered between forty and fifty,
and the font—well, it was a feast in-
deed! Chicken salad, lobster salad. jel-
lled chicken, ham. tongue, beef, roast
chicken, sandwiches of all kinds, cake
such as only ladies can make when they
do their best, and condiments generally
without limit, and for drink coffee that
was coffee. The gentlemen had only to
eat. and how they did eat. But out as
they did they ingloriously failed in con.
sumption powers commensurate with
the food. After supper the ladies for-
nished music, and the dancing was con-
tinued till about ll o‘clock. when as
happy a party as ever assembled return-
ed lo the ir homes.
