A Small Fire and Lots of Water.

 

Estimated Damage $25. 000.

 

A few minutes before seven Tuesday
evening, an alarm of fire was sounded
from box fifteen, Hale’s drug store.
The firemen were almost instantly on
the ground and soon discovered from
smoke issuing from the cupolo; roof
and attic story of the Boston store that
the fire was somewhere smouldering in
the third or fourth story of the Boston
store- Several who were earliest on
the spot. claim they saw a bright light
on the third story, which might have
been an are light or the fire which was
then confined in a small space near
where their upper are light ls located.

From the south-eastern windows, a
bright light was seen by many, but it

- was, no doubt, the same as that seen by
persons standing about the building on
the Wall street side. Subsequent in.
vestigations made last night and again
this morning would seem to indicate
that the fire started in the floor just
above the upper arc light, and as no
other kind of lights were in the build-
ing and no fire of any kind had been in
or about that part of the building for
days, it 18 the most general conclusion
that 1n some way the Origin of the fire
was connected with that particular
electric light.

It was the work of seconds only, be

fore the firemen had the hose on top of

the roof over Dwyer’ s Harness store,
and water by the ho‘gshead w s poured
into the building, and 1n a half hour’ 5
time the fire was practically extin-
guished.
A more utter ruin of one of the larg-
test stocks of goods‘ 111' this end offpur

Mr. J. Donovan Jr., who Owns the
building, is fully insured and will. at
once proceed to_ put it in good order

again.
:At the time of the fire alarm being

He Must Have Been, but Miss Yates i
' -Deolded to Forgive Him. I

[From the Omaha World-Herald.

Miss May Yates 15 about 20 vears old,
and is employed in an up-town dry
goods house. She and her brother
board at the Occidental hotel. Miss
Yates,- as a rule, occupies her room
alone. She was the only occupant when I
she went to sleep Monday night. Yes-
terday morning, however, she was very
much amazed and was badly frightened
when she awoke and found that she
was not the only person who was in her

'bed.‘ The other person had his head

covered. At first Miss Yates could not
believe her senses, but after her fright
had passed she very carefully turned
back the cover.

“ It’s a man,” she'screamed, andthen
and then she fainted. Her brother, who
occupies thenext room, heard his sis-
ter scream, and he was quickly on the
scene. ' ' 5'

The man was sleeping very soundly
in a drunken stupor, and it was with
difliculty that he was "awakened. When
he did awake he also was very~ much
surprised at the surroundings. The
brother. yanked him out of bed and
turned him-over to Oflicer Bloom, who
sent him to the police station. A few
minutes later the brother and his sister
went to the station to appear against
the man.

He was brought. out from behind the

‘bars and the brother had an interview
.with him. The man said he arrived

from Chicago Monday and immediately
after his arrival he registered at the
Occidental. After supper he went out
and met an old friend, who took him

’ arOund town and showed him the sights.

About midnight he turned up at the ho-
tel in a very bad state" of int0xication.
He said he remembered going to the
desk and getting his key, then he re-
membered trying to unlock his door.

Finally he succeeded, and after pulling

off his clothes he jumped into bed. He
did not know how he got into Miss

iYates? bed, and did not know he was
“there till he woke up and was handed
to an officer.

Investigation showed that the keys to

his room and that of Miss Yates were

exactly the same, and that he had got
into Miss Yates’ room and bed by mis-
take.-

A similar event occurredhere 1n Nor-
walk, several years ago, at what was
then known as the “ old Mott House,”
standing on the lawn tennis grounds.
The front door had been. left unlocked
to admit a brother who was '-out late,
when a. gallant young employee of the
Union Mfg 00., who had been tamper-
ing with Norwalk’s peculiar brand of
“ tangle- foot, ” in a befuddled state,
walked into the house, up the stairs in-
to the' bed room where two young la-
dies were soundly sleeping, disrobed
and 1olled into their couch, without
either being aware that there was any

(other than her mate “crowding so,”

until the dawn of coming day revealed
the herrid man in their nest. Of course

' screams aroused the house and the poor

1nebr1ated and still confused and stu-

' 91d intruder was hurled from the bed

byia'blo' brother, who kicked him out
of the room, down the stairs and out
into the street,“ all accoutred as he
was,”,then*§ent back and hurled the
bewllfiered 1nebr1ate’s clothing out af-
ter him. He was not forgiven, as was
the Omaha , blunderer, but sufi'ered
from his severe bruises for nearly a
month and probably has never, if yet
alive, recovered from his own terrible
fright which, if possible, was greater
than that of the horrified and Screech-
ing maidens, upon whose somnolentsoi
ciety he had thus forcedhimself for the
last half of the night.‘

5J.,B. Fairchild of Winnipauk, read
the DAILY GAzsrrn’s descriptive ac-
count'of the original scare-crow built
and set up in his garden by Rev. Dr.‘
Noble, to keep the robins away from -
the good person’s strawberry bed, and
he thought, as Dr. Noble had not pat-
ented his invention he would adopt
a 81milar device to save his luscious
cherries. So'he rigged out a counter-'
feit presentiment and adorned the fig-
ure with an old bonnet of his wife's.
It did its work well, for not a robin
dared visit. the tree with such a 'figure

as a Sentinel; the cherries being all

picked, yesterday he took his scare-
crow down and 19 beneath his. wifels
bonnet a sparrow 'had' built its nest and

A Runaway.

At a little before 7 Wednesday morn«
ing Buxton & Brundage’s old Rozi-
nante took a fright when coming down
Main street and apposite Nickerson &
Betts’ store started 011‘ on a dashing
run. Nathan Riggs, the colored driver,
held the ribbons but the horse’s mouth
was adamant and he could only pull
him into the lamp post in- front of
Collin’s restaurant, which stopped him
from dashing headlong through one of
Collin’s new plate glass windows.‘ The
lamp post anchored him, but not nn-
til he had broken the shafts, the har-
ness, the wagon and post and making a
damage in all of about $25. '

'ltalian Killed.

As they were lowering one of the
heavy iron mains down into the trench
at a point in the woods near the Broad
River chapel Tuesday evening the chain
holding the pipe, broke from the der-
rick and let the heavy main weighing
1500 pounds fall upon one of the Italian
workmen beneath it, in the bottom of

 

 

 

the trench. The poor fellow was ex:

tricated as soon as possible, but life
was extinct by the time he was gotten
out and upon the bank. Undertaker
Cavenaugh was sent for and is today
preparing his body f0r burial.

will be running. _ The extension of
track which the Consolidated road has
built, will connect the Harlem branch
with' the Second and Third avenue e1-
evated road system. The new elevated
road building' is at a point where the
two roads will connect. A

I have been a sufi'erer from catarrh
for years. Having tried a number of
remedies advertised as “sure cures”
without obtaining any relief, I had re-
solved never to taTIe any other patent
medicines, when a friend advised me to
try Ely’ 3 Cream Balm. I did so with
great reluctance, but can now testify
that after using it for six weeks I be-
lieve myself cured. It 1s a most agreea-
ble remedy—an invalu’able Balm os-
