TEN CENTS A WEEK RMSTEB illVL DANCED AT STONEBORO. Eight Horses Burned to Death at Livery Stable Friday Morning, NOTHING WAS SAVED. And Mr. (iaKton ami Family Ks- With tlieir the Fire a Iii- Hiirance One of the most deptrnctive iiree that haa visited New Castle for years, occ'urred about 2 Friday morninii, when the large livery etable of David Gaston, tojrether with the entire contents wae burned to the ground. The building stood on Main street, at the rear of the Cunningham block, and runs back feet alley ijy the P.

L. E. freight depot, Mr. Moifet, the harness maker, who resides on rittsbiirg street, was the first to see the fire and gave the alarm. The but by that time the hole inside of the building was a seething mass of ilames.

The front part of the Vmilding was lined on the outside with sheet iron, so that the inside of the Vjarn was all in flames before it was discovered. In the barn were six horses belonging to Mr. Gaston, one belonging to G. W. Veach and one the property of Robert Morrison, ofVVur- temburg, who had driven from home, and after putting his horse the stable, had gone to the moonlight party at Lake Side.

There were nine buggies, surrey, a seated wagon, a large amount of harness, the whole of which was consumed. A ews reyiorter called at Dr. oflice, wheie Mr. Gaston is staying, and when asked in regard to the fire, Mr. Gaston said: was up putting away a rig about 12:30 and everything was all right about the barn at that time.

I had not been in bed long when heard a commotion among the horses; they seemeii to be groanini; and in great trouble. I got up and went down, and on opening the door leading from the stairway to the barn, I saw at oni'e what the trouble was. At thas time the end of the barn was a mass of flames. I threw' the front doors and tried to get out my coach, which was standing not over 40 feet from the door. My three-seated wagon had been out the night before and had been left standing near the front door when it came in.

After opening the door I went around to the front of the w'agon and undertook to push it out, but it was impossible, as the snioke by this time almost suffocated me. 1 ran around to the entrance and also the rear one in of getting the horses or some of the bug gies out, but everything was too far gone. The stalls where the horses stood were almost burnt when I got there and I was powerless to save them. My wife and child got out in their night clothes, but did not save any of their otter clotheh. My loss will amount to between and $7,000, on which I have on the building, on the household goods and on the con tents of the barn.

The insurance is in the G. W. Miller and the agencies. There was not much grain or hay in the barn. I have no idea whatever of the origin of the fire.

It started in the rear and on the right hand side. There was no light nor fire of any kind in this part of the The house adjoining the stable also belongs to Mr. Gaston, and is occupied by Bert MtKJullough on one side and Mrs Graves on the other. There was very little damage done to this house except in the kitchen, which was badly burnt. The excellent work of the tire depart ment is being commented on every hand.

The stable is surrounded on every side by and at one time five of them were on fire, but by good work the tlepartment confined the flames to the stable. The rear end of the building occupied by J. Dean was on fire and the tloorn and windows were burnt out but the stock was not damaged to any extent. Tlie on the building and stock that was damaged will not amount to over A house owned by M. Loy Hanna, on the other side of the also on fire but was put out.

The aerial truck was used to advantage and the members of the department great credit for their excellent work. of gazed on the ruins this morning and on every side ex pressionsof sympathy were heard for Mr. Gaston. After tlie dejmrtment arrived at the fire two more alarms were turned in and the Fifth ward reel was called out, Mr. (iaston said that if there had been any- boily there when he got up some of the buggies and the cab might have been saved but tlie horses were slowly roast ing to death when he came down and nothing could save them.

The tire is one of the worst and most destructive that has visited this city for years. Mr. Gaston does not know yet what he will do but will probably rebuild. ASTATE DELEGATE. W.

Tables had been provided by the committee, and at noontime a repast was served which reflected credit the ladies of JNorth Beaver, whose culinary aptness is proverbial.

Alex Wilson, who lives a short distance east of Hazel Dell, leased a tract of land up the Slippery Rock, about four miles above Wurtemburg, some four weeks ago, and since then has been quietly drilling for oil. On last Monday, at a depth of 150 feet, he struck what seemetl to be a crevice in the rock, and a flow of oil soon filled the well and out at the top, doubtless forced up by a i small quantity of gas.

It is now flowing from 12 to 15 barrels day, and gives every indication of a steady and paying production. Since the result of the test well has beciome known, the people own ing land in the community have become greatly excited, and hundreds of oil speculators are visiting the place every day.

The little girl, who was only two years and two months old, was playing by the roadside near her home with another child about her own age. Motorman Walter Tyler saw the children when some distance away, but they were no closer to the track than children usually get in their play.

The car approaching them at full and, when almost opposite where they were standing, the little girl, all unconscious of tier danger, ran out immeiliately in front of the car. Motorman Tyler reverseti the cAr instantly, but it was too late and the little one was struck and pushed a short distance under the car. When the car came to a standstill she was picked up, bruised and bleeding but still breathing. She was carried home and a physician summoned, who found that the skull was fractured and that she had reireived other serious injuries which soon resulted in her death.
