Big Fire at Kersey.
Monday night at about IS o'clock
fire broke out in tbe Exchange Hotel
at Kersey, owned by J. M. Davie, and
tbe old hotel together with all ita contents went np in smoke. Mr. and Mra.
Davis who were alone in tbe hotel at
the time and had retired shortly before,
had a narrow escape from being
cremated. Juat how the fire originated
ie not known, but it is surmised that
the wooden ceiling above the bar room
caught Are from tbe heat of a large
lamp which was suspended above tbe
bar.
Adam Llewellyn's residence which
stood close by the hotel, aiao waa consumed. Mr. Llewellyn succeeded in
removing all hla household goods but
the building was totally destroyed.
Both parties carried some insurance,
bnt hardly enough to cover the loss.
Fire Last Might.
A barn belonging to George Oradl,
of So. St. Marys street, was completely destroyed by Are last night between
Udo <_nd 10 o'clock. There was a
quantity of hay in the barn and It
burned like powder. Within live minutes from the time the tire was flrst
discovered, the whole structure wae a
mass of flames. The hose company
waa on the spot in s remarkably short
time, but the building waa nearly
burned down before they got a stream
of water on the fire.
About 80 chickens and some pigeons
were boused in tbe barn and conld not
be taken out. Tbey burned with all
the rest of tbe contents. We understand that there was a small insurance
on the barn.
Eagles Spread tbeir Wings.
A banquet was given by the St.
Marys Aerie Fraternal Order of Kagles
at tbe St. Patrick's hall last night.
The Ladies Aid Society of tbe Sacred
Heart church bad charge of the cullin-
ery arrangements.

for the occasion, and music was furnished by Lettan'e orchestra. There
were over two huudred members and
guests present, and all seemed well
pleased witb the menu and program of
the evening.
Tbe St. Marys Eagles have a large
membership and are gaining more
members rapidly.
