He quickly awakened his wife and their family, and escaped from the now furiously burning house with what few clothes ,they could pick up in their hurried flight, and they did not leave the house any too soon, because in a few minutes the building, which was of frame was a complete mass of flames, and was burning so fiercely that it was impossible to do anything to check the fire. The few persons who live near and the night staff at the power house were on hand as soon as they learned of the fire, but the smoke was so thick and the fire burn- ing so fiercely that it was impossible to save scarcely any of the furniture, which. with the house. was totally destroyed.
