Long Delay of Firemen Looked as If Southern Part .of Town Would Go Horse Cremated in Barn. At 2:45 o'clock this afternoon fire was discovered in William Hlckey's paint shop, at the corner of Garden and Railroad streets, and before the fire company arrived and woro play ing water on the flro, tho shop, barn, belonging to Hotel Eastern, sovoral sheds along tho alley and the whole rear end of the hotel wero ablaze. Spontaneous Combustion. Tho fire Is thought to havo started from spontaneous combustion. Oily rags had been left In tho shop and it is thought it was theso which ignited. Several minutes before the flro was discovered somo of tho mon working at tho O. R. & N. roundhouso heard an explosion in the vicinity of the building. The whistle at tho roundhouso was blown and It was several minutes bo- fore the flro alarm was turned In. Then 10 minutes elapsed before the fire department was on the ground and ready to getwater on the build ings. Much of this delay was occa sioned by most of th oflremen being at the circus. Fire Checked After Delay. Hlckey's paint shop stood several feet from the hotel barn and it was completely burned to tho ground and tho barn, hotel and other buildings were on flro before tho water was turned on tho building. When tho company got tho water started, how ever, the lire was checked at once, although it had a good headway. Horse Cremated. The barn is a total loss and sever al of tho buildings and sheds are gone with the paint shop, and tho rear half of tho hotel is a wreck, but the main building was saved by mi raculous work of the firemen. When tho fire broke out tho hotel, barn and sheds wero all full of horses of farmers who had driven to town to see the circus and the horses woro all cut loose and let out All wont ex cept one which was driven out of tho shed and turned and went back to Its death. Loss to Hotel. The loss to the hotel is heavy. The fire gutted the kitchen and tho rest of tho building was more or less in Jured by the water. Tho Insurance was light and will not more than cover one-third of the loss. Tho barn and sheds, of course, are a total loss, but their value is Bmall. It is impos sible to get at the extent of tho loss, but it Is variously estimated at from $2500 to $3000. No Excuse for Fire. There was no occasion for tho hotel or barn catching fire had there been prompt action by tho flro department After the hose was on tho ground and tho water turned on tho hoso was found to be bursted and ono Joint bad to bo taken out. Tho men on tho carts were green and apparently did not know whore to turn to find anything, as they wero men who vol unteered to do tho work, and few of tho regular firemen wero on tho ground. Thro was much condemna tion heard of Pendleton's nro servico, ALL 18 QUIET. Works Started Up But Miners Do Not Interfere. Duryea, Pa., Aug. 20.
