DANGEROUS FIRE
EXTINGUISHED IN
IY-
Blaze in Folsom’s Kitchen
Had Whole Department
On the Run.
A fire which made the Are depart
ment make a record-breaking run and
one which, but for the prompt work of
the firemen, would have been a disas
trous one, burned out the kitchen of
Folsom’s Hotel at 22 Marietta etreet
early Friday morning.
The Are was conAned to this part of
the hotel, and consequently the damage
Is not large, 8o far It has not been
estimated by the hotel proprietors, but
It Is fully covered by Insurance.
The alarm came In at 1:63 o'clock
and the fact that It came from box 13
caused the Aremen to make a remark
able get-away. The distance from Are
headquarter, to Marietta etreet was
covered In record-breaking time and
the arrival of the headquarter, com
panies was soon followed by companies
from other parts of the city. The dan
gerous locality of the Are caused a
general alarm to be sent In and the
firemen worked Hard to conAne It to
Folsom's kitchen.
Before the Are was under control It
"as necessary for the Aremen to tear
h " ay a ventilator shaft lined with tin
and this hampered their work consider
ably. The grease of the kitchen aided
<ne fire and made the work of the Are,
men harder.
Assistant Chief Haney considers the
mock where the Are occurred one of the
most dangerous In the entire city. Had
the fire gotten good headway ft Is prob
able that a disastrous conAagratton
"ould have resulted.
11 was reported to Aaslstant Chief
tfaney that the Are was caused when a
negro cook went to sleep and allowed a
pan of grease In which potatoes were
nclng rooked, to boil over and set Are
to the place.
Outside of the kitchen the hotel was
not damaged to any great extent except
•»' smoke and water.

7HOUGH7 GEMS GLASS
AND HE GA VE ’EM AWA*
Lexington, Ky., July 5.—In the lining
of an old working coat belonging to
Albert Rico, a negro laborer, were
found yeeterday four tdamonds which
came out of the diamond brooch con
taining twenty-three atones which was
tost by Mrs. William Dudley March

ing after It had been lost, but thinking

A Eli ON A UT ESCAPES DEATH
TO WED AN ERIE FIREMAN
Middletown, N. Y., July 5.—After a
balloon ascension that never has been
equalled In this section. Miss Maggie
Daly, aged 20, made a parachute leap
while 2,000 feet In the air, and after
traveling a long distance, landed In the
middle of the Wallklll river late yes
terday afternoon and narrowly escaped
death by drowning. An hour later she
was married to Arthur Broekett, a Are-
man on the Brie railroad.
Wet and bedraggled, the young wom
an took a position beslda her Aance,
while Alderman Lainonte performed the
ceremony. The young aeronaut and
her husband Immediately left on a wed
ding tour.
Miss Daly became an aeronaut by ac
cident. On Memorial Day of last year
she saw a professional make an ascen
sion. Miss Daly's companions dared
her to go up with the balloon and she
ran forward, grasped the parachute and
was carried up 3,000 feet. After that
she made several ascensions, narrowly
escaping death several times.
.They act like Exercise.

Lincoln, Nebr.. July E.—William J.
Bryan says In The Commoner today,
under the head, ’’The Democratic Out
look:”
"Democratic prospects, instead of be-
Ing gloomy, are bright, and growing
brighter. The Democratic position has
been vindicated by events and second
ed by the admission of Republicans.
Every proposition for which the Demo,
cratlc party stood In 1906 has been
proved sound.
"The party’s position on the trust
question has been demonstrated to be
sound and every day Increases the
number of those who believe as the
Democratic platform In 1900 stated,
that a private monopoly Is Indefensible
and Intolerable.
"The Democratic party Is more united
than It has been for many years.”
