"Has 'hat fallow win; introduced it j

The Foreign Situation.

HORSES HOIST ID DEATH ItN
: STABLE IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
'contractor PATRICK MANLEY;
I LOSES $1,000 BY SUNDAY
EVENING BLAZE.
Ott-Hciskelt Building and Wheeling i
Mattress Plant Threatened
With Dcstruct'on.
' Two valuable horses owned by Pai-j
rick Mauley wore roasted to death in a|
lire which destroyed a stable iti" which
hoy wciv housed at 111** corner of Ja- 1
cob and Nineteenth streets shortly be
fore 1" o'clock last night. The loss by |
lire, including that of the team, will
amount to probably $1,00'*.
The horses were in a Muali frame i
stable. Mow the building look lire is j
noi known, and when the blaze was
discovered by passersby the entire up- J
per part of the two-story structure was i
a mass of flames. Before the alarm (
.could be turned in at box ?,l and the j
stable reached, tbo entire building was.
so hot that it was impossible to outer j
and save the horses. i
With four streams of water and i
three streams of chemicals, the tire-;
men fought furiously for a quarter <>fj
.an hour to save the Ott-Heiskell llard- ,
ware Company's building, immediately
adjoining, and the mammoth plant of ,
the Wheeling Mattress Company, only j
a few feel. away. Had the (lames j
reached cither of these buildings, es- i
pecially the mattress works, the loss,
could easily have mounted into the i
thousands of dollars. Although the re- 1
call was sounded at 10:01! o'clock last j
night, one lire company was left at
the scene until nearly midnight, to
; guard against a second outbreak.
; Patrick Man ley sustains the entire
loss by last night's lire. His horses
were a valuable matched team, arid
are declared to have been worth fully
I $600. The loss on the building is not
more than $200, but harness, hay, Teed
'and other articles destroyed will run
I the loss up to $1,000.
I Mr. Manlev has been the victim of
1 more than his portion of misfortune
'recently. Only a few months ago he]
?lost, his wife. Still more recently he!
fel and broke his hip. and last ntgi?t|
i still was forced to lie helpless from
'I the injury and hear the anguish of
' hi's perishing horses as they were be
ling roasted to death in his burning
I stable.
Me is a contractor and does general
' hauling. Me usually keeps six head of
horses, but recently when the general
hauling business became dull he dis
posed of two teams.
The Best Cough Medicine.

you want the very best cough medi

"1 have found Chamberlain's Cough
Remedv to be the best cough met'i
