At ten minutes past three o'clock, Friday morning, our citizens were aroused by a fire alarm. The excited throng which soon arrived on the public square, found that flames were bursting from the southeast cellar door, beneath Kahn

& Tanenbauni's clothing store, aud

in leBS time than it takes to narrate it, the whole building was wrapped in flames the forked tongues of fire reaching round the front to the drug store room of J. W. Shoemaker. All this so quickly that, with the exception of a dosen over

coats aud two damaged st ow esses,

nothing was saved from cither of

these stores. The Pioneer engine liad been brought out promptly, ani the old, much abused machine, responded nobly to the willing hands that worked it. John McCalla, Robert C. Foster, Wyatt W. Wicks, John F. May, John Ehni, William Yonug, OHie Barton and James Neeld had gone into McCalla & Co.'i store to remove goods, and while engaged ,in this work the north wall of the Mullikin corner (which was a story higher) toppled -aver and fell upon the McCalla room, crushing that structure into the cellar. All the men succeeded in getting

out of the room at onoe, except

McCalla, Foster and Net Id. t

McCalla was near the skylight,

and was knocked down and coverered with lath, plastering, etc., but was not stunned, and says that he at once begun to work with all the energy he possessed, to get clear : he groped and squeezed his way back to the alley, or west entrance of the

building, and half suffocated by the

e. a li

neat and smoKe, nnauy readied a breathing place in the opan air.

McCalla then hurried around to

the front and told some o f the men that Foster was in Ihe room, and he was fearful that he had not escaped. W. H. Slocomb secured a lantern, and making his way into one of the places where a window

had been, called a niimbar of times

and was finally answered by Foster,

A score of willing men dashed into

the building to save Foster, and it was found that be was oa the cel

lar floor, beneath the timbers and

debris of the floor above. He had

been gathering up some fiue goods,

only about fifteen feet from the

front door, when the crash came.

The floor broke in the oente; and

dropped in funnel eh ipe-sotnc thing like an old-fashioned asli

hopper ao-J b?ucatb that broken

center Foster was held down by the

joists and boards. All interest at once centered in bis rescue. The water from the engine was directed upon the surface above where be lay ; a bucket line was formed to a pump, aud svuter was passed to the cellar where John B. Waldron, Soddy Carcnichael and Maj. Perry were dashing it on

the fire, which was creeping from the west toward Foster. Superhuman work was done by some of the men who were sawing and cutting timbers to release the imprisoned man ; two of them, Jack Denton and Ren. C. Smith, did not leave him during the time of his imprisonment (he was under those timbers an hour and fifteen miuutes.) Several times the task seemed so utterly hopeless and the danger so great, that many of the workers became discouraged, but finally, after prying, chopping and sawing for a full hour, with flames roaring and walls falling ail around them, he was dragged from beneath tbe timbers by Jack Denton, Ren. C. Smith and Ed. McGee, Aa they carried him out of tbe cellar, a wild cheer went np from tbe thousands assembled. After receiving the attentions of physicians, he was conveyed to his home, and at the present writing is getting along nicely no bones broken nor dislocated, but terribly bruised and burned. In the meantime the fire had been going on, and was now in the Express office room, but when the engine aad bucket brigade turned their attention to it, the fire was confined to the block. NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is difficult to estimate tbe actual loss to business men and real estate owners of Bloomington, but it is within bounds to say that it is f 125,000. The fire originated in a basement, where a lot of anthracite coal and kindling wood was stored. Many think it the work of an incendiary. The Mullikin corner buildiug belonged to W. P. McNary, W. J. Allen and J. H. Louden ; it was insured for only $3,500. They also owned the new building in the rear, which was insured for 1,500. Redrick Wylie owned the building occupied by McCalla & Co., aud it was insured for f 1,500. James M. Howe, owned the building occupied by Perdue, and it was insured for $1,600. The book store building was owned by Mrs. Maxwell, and was insured for 1,500. The express office building was insured for 1,000. It belonged to Mrs. Watts, of New Mexico. The building occupied by Reed's harness shop belonged to Mrs. Rena Burford, and was not insured. Kahn 6, Tanenbaum, clothiers, lose about $18,000 on their stock, insured for $5,500.

Frank Hunter, John Graham

and J. F. Pittman, who had law

offices up stairs, lose all their furniture and law books. J. W. Shoemaker, druggist, 'lost 114,000; insured for $7,000. C. R. Perdue, boots and shoes, stock ten thousand dollars, insured for $3,000. MsCalla & Co., dry goodn, loss abont $11,000, insured for $4,000. . P. Cole, book store, fully insure.!. J, A. Baldridge had a grocery in the new building in the rear of tbe corner, but most of the goods were carried out. J. O. Howe, jewelry and express office, valuable jewelry saved in saMe and express goods carried 'out.

W. F. Reed, harness, most of

goods carried out. Dr. J. W. Crane, Dentist, occupied rooms over McCalla & Co's dry goods store, and had all bis tools, machinery and furniture consumed by the fire. He bad some insurance. In addition to many valuable patters, books, etc., John Graham had over one hundred dollars in bank notes secreted in a drawer of his desk. Frank E. Hunter had fifty dollars in money iu a dedi, and this, with papers, deeds and notes, was consumed. Sol. Tanenbaum had barely euough time to get out of bis sleep

ing room, over the rear or west end

pants and shirt on all bis wearing apparel, including a fiue gold watch, was lost.

Mr.

skating rink in the Mullikin Hall, lost thirty-five pairs of his rollerskates. He was at Gosport Thurso day night, having taken some forty pairs of skates to that town, where he had opened a rink. Mart. Phillips, who sold his hotel fixtures week before last, on Monday bought Jas. Neeld's meat shop, and had been in business but four days when the fire closed him out. He saved all his fixtures. Jack Nichols, the Arthitect and Builder, had an office in the new brick, over J. A. Baldridge's grocery. He is now up-stairs, on tbe G reeves corner, Wm. F. Reed saved his stock of saddlery and harness, and is now located in the room west of tbe National Hotel Kahn & Tanenbaum will occupy i the room owned by Mrs. Kahn, on the alley, west side of the square.

Josh. Howe's jewelry store and the

American express co. will occupy the same room for the present. J. F. Pittman, attorney and master commissioner, will hereafter be found in the office of Buskirk & Duncan. The rooms occupied by Baldridge, Phillips, Kahn & Tanenbaum i -e ni . i.

ana o. w. Ouoemaker belonged to John H. Louden, W. P. McNary and W. J. Allen, and were valued at $18,000.

The building occupied by McCalla & Co's dry goods store, was valued at 6,500. It was owned by Redick Wylie. It is seldom a man gets so near the confines of another world, as did Robert C. Foster, last Friday morning, and lives to tell of it. Friday was no an unlucky day for him. Among the men who worked so bravely and successfully for the rescue of Robert C. Foster, in that terrible cellar, were John Seward, James Alexander, Ed. McGee, H. II. Friedley, Lon. Davis, George Reeves, Harry Hight, John B. Waldron, Ren. C. Smith, Chas. Millen,Joscph Allen, Jack Denton, Jamea Ryan, and scores whose names cannot now be recalled. John McCalla was found by Taylor Voss, coming out' of the back part of his store room, in a dazed, uncertain way, and was taken charge of by Voss. The heat and smoke had almost prostrated him. Kahn & Tanenbaum had their Bedford stock of clothing shipped to Bloomington, and are now in the midst of a big Spring trade. They need and deserve a liberal patronage. E. P. Cole has placed his slock of books, stationery and wall paper in the Wiilson room, on SouthCoIlege Avenue, opposite the Orchard building. Charley Batterton stood at his post on a ladder, with a hose, during nearly all the time of the fire. John Wylie stood on a wall in the rear of the corner building, and dashed on water from baekets,wkile others, seeing his danger, entreated him to come down, but he staid and fought the fire till the last. Nat. U. Hill, Cap. Friedley snd D. W. Browning were in the thickest of the beat and smoke, last Friday morniug. Wils. Adams held the noezle of the fire engine hose, and directed the stream with rare good judgment over the spot where Foster lay, and thus prevented him from burning and assisted in keeping the fire back from the men who were working to effect his rescue. A quantity of Express goods, it has been learned, was burned, together with about one thousand dollars worth of Mr. Howe's fixtures. His stationary engine was destroyed. JDemaree lost everything in his room sewing machines, attachments, feed, &e. Jas. Neeld was badly burned and cut about the head and shoulders, and Young had his right arm crushed. Foster says while he was lying under the timbers he fult a burning sensation at the left side of his head, and with his right hand, which was free, he gathered some wet mortar and placed it on the spot, thus extinguishing the coal that was burning him. His face was covered to a depth of several inches with plaster and fragments of brick. When" Foster was res-

F. E. Hunter, Treasurer of the Mendelssohn Society, had seventyfive dollars' worth of the Society's music in his possession (most of it now) and it was burned, together with some forty dollars of (heir money.

Tho young man was so solidly imbedded in the rubbish (mostly brick) that it seemed a hopeless task and several times Davis called for persons la the alley to como and help him. But no one came, and he went back to his solf-imposed lank. Even after he had dug Neeld loose to hU knees, he was unablo to got him up. but had to dig away ail the brick. Pulling and draggin g, he finally got Neeld to tho buck door and he was caved. There are many a great many men. who would have left Neeld to his fate. Lon. Davis is not wade of that kind of stuff.

HORRIBLE! Crushed Beneath The WaI!sl The money taken at the door for admission to the oratorical contest, Thursday night, was left at Shoemaker's drug store for safe-keeping and was placed in adrawer, where it was burned. On Saturday, Mr. Lon. Mofl'et hired Ed. Pauley to dig on tbe spot where the drawer was believed to have fallen, with the hope of finding the racked silver (about fifteen dollars). To assist him Pauley engaged Jim Alexander (son of the blacksmith of tbe same name), Andy Phelps, and David Bockman (a deaf and dumb boy. At half-past two o'clock p.h., while these men were digging, and Moffet standing by, a part of the north wall of the Shoemaker room fell, burying the four men beneath the brick and mortar. Moffet saved himself, but the others were in stooping positions, and so could not see their danger in time. The town was full of people from all parts of the county, and an immense crowd of men and boys had taken positions on the debris, to watch the workers. Scores of the

men riuihed in and the unfortunate four.

Phelps's iujuries were but slight. Bockman had an ankle dislocated, and his face aud both arms are seriously burned. Pauley bad his left wrist dislocated, a number of deep gashes' on his head, and is seriously bruised abont the back and shoulders. Alexander's injuries arc mostly internal ; has been vomiting blood, and is unconscious the greater part of the time.

ANOTHER FIRE Last Saturday Night. Between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock cn Saturday night, Bloomington was agaiii startled by an alarm of fire, and soon the- flames shot up from a largo barn on Prof. T. A. Wylie's premises, east of the College. People had not yet retired, and the response to the alarm was prompt. Underneath a chicken house which joins a corn crib, lay a pile of kindlings, that were burning rapidly ; these were extinguished with a bucket of water. The barn burned to the ground in a very short time. Jos. N. Alexander was on his way home, and passed a man coming from the direction of the barn, who t were & long light-colored overcoat, and had his hat drawn down over his eyes. A colored man (Si. Allen) claims to have seen a match lighted at the barn. That the fire was the work of an incendiary there can be no question.

tally ruined. ." Harry Hight, a nephew of Foster, was the first person to reoch tbe spot where he lay, having groped his way iu, through the broken timbers, and found him covered except his hand, which protruded from tbe debris. John B: Waldron next went down head first be-, tween the broken joists, his feet be- -ing held by Will. Bollenbaohetv Some of our young men worked like the heroes they are. Of a stock of boots and shoe valued at over $3,000, McCalla & Co. saved but three pairs; - The work of clearing : away the debris and rebuilding, will be gin just afi soon as the insurance is adjusted.
