De Neale, driver of an old one-horse, oene-man car on Ninth street. De Neale said the fire was so hot it scorched the paint on the side of his | old 10-foot long street car. But men lifted up one end of the car, the horse | pulled it around, and up Ninth street out of range of the blaze. A. Denekas and John Clagett Proctor. vice presi- dent, who presided, said they left | school and went to see the big fire. | It also was recalled that the wind | earried embers into the hayloft of | the Gheen & Osborne Stable on G | street between Sixth and Seventh | #treets, setting fire to it, and destroy- | ing the building. !
