| Fire |
| The alarm of fire a few minutes before
three o'clock Saturday afternoon, was caused by the burning of a small
portion of the roof of a black smith's shop at the Northeastern Railroad
Depot. The engines promptly responded to the call, but the fire was
extinguished before they reached the ground. |
