STABLE BURNED.

The Ohiopyle Company Loses Valuable Horses in Blaze Early This Morning.

Special to The Courier.

OHIOPYLE, May 2.---The big stable of The Ohiopyle Company was burned to the ground this morning. The fire was discovered between 3 and 4 o'clock. It had gained such headway then that it was impossible to check it. Four fine horses, valued at $800, were burned. An effort was made to save them but failed. A mow full of hay, harness and feed also went up in smoke. The stables of Irwin Bailey and J. Cunningham adjoining were also burned. They were valued at $100 each.

Jim Gill had two pigs in a pen adjoining. They were converted into roast pork. The loss on the Ohiopyle Company's stable is between $1,500 and $1,800. There was some insurance. It is not known how the fire started.
