There was a fierce fire for a short time this morning, btween and three o'clock, oh Liberty street, between Spring and Parke streets. A frame building owned by the Clear Spring Coal surrounding an air compressor, was destroyed. The air compressor is located temporarily at this point, and air is foreed through a bore hole to furnish power for drills In the mine.

Several frame buildings were located close to the burning building, and only the energetic work of the firemen prevented a more serious fire. Several barrels of lubricating and Illuminating oil were stored in the building, and these made the fire a hot one. The firemen extinguished the flames and returned to the hose house, only to be called out again shortly afterward. They found the debris in flames. It seems that a barrel of oil had exploded and started the fire again.

The cause of the fire is a mystery. The loss will amount to several hundred dollars, including the loss of the building and the loss of machine parts which had become overheated by the fire. A set of batteries valued at $25 for discharging blasts in the mine were destroyed, together with several suits of clothing owned by the workmen. The machinery In the building was the property of Henry Rapson, rock contractor, of Wyoming, who has the contract for driving a tunnel in the mines. This is the third time for this same compressor to be in, a i Thanksgiving Roses and! Carnations.

It commenced on my legs and arms, and finally covered the greater part of my body.

I suffered for about three years. My scalp around the edges of my hair was a complete ring of scales and crusts. The disease was more dis figuring than be imagined, and 'heat and perspiration caused my flesh to be as if on firend I could not keep my bands away from it at tunes. I was given salves and medicine repeat edly by ach physician, and advised to wash frequently in soda and water, but nothing cured me. Then 1 read of the wonderful Cuticura Remedies and decided I would try them, and I am glad to state openly that by con stant user as directed for two months I am entirely cured.
