a fire which occurred on Washington street
early this morning kept up the reputation v
of the city. A total damage of $20,000
was done on which there was only $15,-
' 000 insurance. ‘ 7
The fire occurred in the Taylor block
on Washington street occupied as follows:
George A. Ferris, hardware; H. E. Red-
wcll, books and stationery; Miss Lizzie
.Sellecl‘r, millinery and fancy goods; G. C.
Stillson, drugs; G. S..North, photogra-
pher. ~ - ‘
The fire started about ‘2 o'clock, a. nl.
The first warning given was a terrific ex-
plosion in the store Of George 'A. Ferris.
Flames immediately broke out all over the
store and in a few moments the entire
building-was inablaz'c. The fire com a-
iesvvei-e soon onhand, and after some little
trouble about getting water, had streams
'on the now raging fire. A long fight on-
sued in which the firemen worked like
heroes. Just as the fire was gotten under
control a freightirain came from the west.
Two lines of hose lay across the tracks.
The engineer was signalled to stop but
either disregarded or did not see the sig-
nals and the train ran over the hose cutting
it in two. This made a scarcity of water
and the flames rapidly gained on the fire-
men who now liad, but one stream on tk
buildings. By the time the accident was
repaired the building was gutted.
Richard Gray lived with his wife, ill the
rooms [just over Forris’s store. He was
awakened by- the explosion and railrout
into his kitchen to see what was the mat-
ter. Bythe tiinc he got there the flames
were coming through the floor and as he
entered the room his hairwas singed. Run-3 ‘
log back to his bedroOm he seized his wife
and both made their escape' through the
front window. The stairs were afirs and
they were obliged to slide down the "lead-
er" or drain pipe, in front of the store, in
their night clothes. I By the time they
reached the ground the room they had
just left was a mass of seething flame.
This couple lost everything. Mr. Gray is a
finisher in Brown’s hat shep. His furni-
ture was not insured.
The explosion blew in the division wall
and Bodwell’s store was soon ablaze.
His stock of blank boOks, stationery, toys,
&c_., were almost a total loss. He esti-
mates his damage at $8,000; insured for
$1,500.
Stillson the druggist loses all his stock.
The fire did not touch him but the smoke
and water played havoc with his fine stock
of drugs. When the Gamma visited the
scene this morning streams. of water were
running from the ceiling. Mr. Stillson
facstiously remarked that this was the first
time his whiskey ever had water in it.
His loss is nearly total. Not having in-
ventoried recently he cannot estimate
closely but puts it at about $8,000. 110

A Golden Weddings ,
.; .Onc of the events of the season occurred
‘on Tuesday evening in the celebration of
V
‘ the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr. and Mrs. William P. Earle, at their
residence, No. 12 East 87th street, New'
York. Such reunions are rare, and de-
cidedly so in this case, where the family
circle is unbroken, and the children are
all present. Mr. and Mrs. Earle were
married in Ellington, Conn., April 13th,
1830. The bride, Elizabeth Pinncy. was
a daughter of the late Judge Benjamin
Pinney. Mr. Earle came from Hartford.
Conn., in 1845, and after having amassed
a handsome fortullc, retired from active
business about twenty years ago. The
children are Wm. H. Earle, of Norwalk,
Ferdinand P. Earle, Mrs. John M. Davis,
Eugene M. and Frank T. Earle, of New
York. . ,
Elegant and appropriate pi‘OSeuts were
given by the family. The floral decora-
tions by Matthesen were Marcella] Neil
roses, golden marigolds, tulips, and a pro-
fusion of plant palms and floral devices,
two being large shields wroughtin flowers
and showing the dates, 1836—1886. The
supper was by Mazzette, and the music by
Lauder. An appropriate poem written by
a friend was read by the Rev. Dr. Mac-
Arthur, who followed with a short and
impressive service. The festivities closed
with dancing led byjtlie host and hostess,
and none seemed merrier and danced
lighter than the bride and bridegroom of
fifty years ago. The bride was attired in
a dress of gold colored satin brocade with
court train ; the entire corsage of pearl
embroidery on gold colored satin ; front
and sleeves of white lace embroidered
with gold and tssscls of long pearls; large
rosettes of white satin ribbon with gold
beads; necklace and full diamond orna-
ments; hair dressed high with gold wheat
and diamonds. Their daughter and
daughters-in-law acted as bridesmaids.

drawn sigh of relief that he assured the
reporter that “these men will be here five
weeks longer, when they are to move

the libellous assertion that that whole-

“Shoppel’s Modern Houses," No. '2, is
just out. It is a new book on building,
containing floor plans, large perspective
views, and full descriptions (with reliable
costs) of 65 modern houses, ranging in
cost from $500 to $9,000, two carriage
houses and stables, and a beautiful eleva-
tion in six colors, showing- how modern
houses should be painted. Beside a vast
amount of information on the whole range
of kindred subjects the designs given have
been built,many of them under the imme-
diate supervision of the compilers; the in-
formation is reliable and accurate. This
unequalled work contains 72 large quarto
pages (each page llixlb inches) over 200
illustrations, printed on heavy calendered
paper, and covered with laid paper, printed _
in colors. It is an indispensable aid and
guide to the intending builder; it is 'very
useful to the, intending purchaser of a’
house already built, showing him what a
perfect house should be. The book is
sold at 81.00, and will be sent postpaldlou

E. H. Bush, Esq., President of the So.
Norwalk Co-operative Hat Factory, was
assaulted in his own house on Friday
evening, by about three score of the ope-
ratives in the factory and other friends,
because he was just 42 years old. Cakes
and cream, with jokes, compliments and
other missiles were thrown at him 'all the
evening. The affair was verypleasant to
all who participated, and demonstrated
how strong a hold Mr. Bush has, among
those who know him best. '
Aseries of three entertainments is.bei'n g
arranged by the Ladies’ Benevolent soci-

The first will be a lecture in the Opera

Anderson, May 7th. Mr. Gibson will give
an organ recital on the 18th in the church,
and Rev. Edward Anderson will lecture on

along, stopped and waited behind the hay
rigging for the head of the procession to
move on. The car horse ate buy from
the rear of the load; passengers got rest-

against the car in disgust ,and despair until

The lecture by Mr. Bolton,'—the closing
lecture Of the course for the borough libra-
ry—is to be given on Wednesday (to-mor-
‘row) evening, and will be a unique and in-
structive one. Mr. Bolton gives a free and
conversational address his pictures are
said to be of the finest, graphically illustra-
ting the tour to which he treats his audi-
ence, and withja running commentary on
places and people that is_witty and wise.

manuals INJURED.
During. the fire Chief McGowan and
Assistant Engineer F. M._Knapp were se-
riously injured. Chief McGowan ran up
the stairway onto a rear roof next to
Brown «St Wilcox's store. Here he could
direct the hose men. In the darkness he
made a misstep and fell off the roof. He
fell twenty feet,striking on a stone flagging
which skirts an area way underneath.
He struck on his back and his body-re-
bounded hitting the wall opposite and fi-
nally fell into the area way beneath. He
was unable to move and had to be carried
out by the firemen. He was taken to the
Mahacliemo Hotel and,put to bed. Drs.
Higgins and Burke attended him and as
he was in great agony administered two
hypodermic injections of morphine. This
quieted liim somewhat and the doctors
made'an examination. His back is badly
injured. his left leg is almost useless and
his hand severely sprained. The nails on
his:fingers hadtobe cut off so had]; were
they broken. The doctors anticipated no
evil results, but he is in a serious condi-
tion. Whether a further examination
will show his spine to be hurt cannot be
told, but‘a Guanu’reporter found him
unable to move, this morning, without the
greatest agony. The chief had just rc-
covered the use of his right leg which
was recently injured at the Co-operativo
Hat shop fire, .and now his left leg is
sprained so badly that he will not be able
to use it for some time. His wife is away
on a visit'but he will not allow her recall
as he thinks hegwill be out ina few days.
Toija question of the Gazarrs reporter as
to whether he thought he hadn’t better
let fires alone in the future he said: “No,
sir! When I die, I'll die a fireman."
Assistant Chief Knapp fell from the
same place that Chief McGowan did. He,
hower, escaped with a sprained ankle
and sprained arm. He was in bed when
our reporter called,and under the doctor's
directions, would see no one. Afew days
of rest and careful attention will put him
all right again. » “

Does it pay to advertise? One of our
Birmingham professionals says that it
does. Futhermore, he says that he finds
that it pays best to advertise liberally as to
space. Formerly he had contented him-
self with a two or three inch “ad,” but
thinking that he would try a larger one he
did so for several weeks in the Sentinel,
and from which he could trace directly
over $200 worth of business. How much
more may have been influenced thereby he

some for such work, and make it congenial to

them always trustworthy, honest and truthful,
much refer them to any discharged hotel clerk.
