A house occupied by Thomas WILLIAMS in Valley street was burned to the ground late Wednesday night. Shortly after 11 o'clock Mr. WILLIAMS was aroused by the sound of crackling wood and awakened to find the room full of smoke. He hastily called the other members of his family, his wife and several children, and cried an alarm form the window. The lower part of the house was already in flames and the WILLIAMS family made their escape through a window on the second floor. They had no time to save any of their belongings, but seized what clothing was in reach and fled in their night attire. In the meantime, the alarm had been sent in and many persons ran to the aid of the stricken family. The flames had gained much headway and all attempts to save the building were fruitless. The house was a double one. One side was occupied by Mr. WILLIAMS and his family and the other side was vacant. When the blaze reached the empty side of the house, it burned with almost inconceivable fierceness and it was but a short time until the whole building lay in ashes. The fire is supposed to have originated from an overheated chimney. A big wood fire had been burning the WILLIAMS family went to bed, and scattered sparks may have been the cause of the blaze. The house had been purchased a few months ago by the Pennsylvania Building and Loan association. The building was valued at $2,000 and the furniture at about $500. The total loss is practically covered by insurance.

Fire Destroys Chinese Laundry In a fire following an explosion in the Chinese laundry in Outlook street, conducted by Jack FOO, several girls last Friday afternoon had a narrow escape when they were hemmed in by the rapidly spreading flames. The girls escaped by leaping from the windows to the ground a short distance below and although none was hurt all were badly frightened. The building was damaged to the extent of about $1,000 partly covered by insurance, while about $200 worth of laundry belonging to patrons went up in smoke. The fire originated in the drying room of the laundry. This is heated by gas, and a leak in the gas line caused an explosion. The drying room immediately burst into flames and the fire spread with alarming rapidity. Four or five girls at work in another room were unable to get out before the flames had shut off exit by the door. They wee compelled to jump from the windows to escape the flames. The McDonald hose company made a quick run and by hard and fast work succeeded in extinguishing the blaze before the building was entirely consumed. Several neighboring building sere endangered and the kitchen of MURCHLAND Sisters was damaged to some extent. The laundry building is owned by Mrs. Mary J. WILLIAMS.
