Tuesday Morning's Fire.
Tuesday morning about
nine o'clock smoke was seen
to be issueing from the
row known as the "Smith
deal Row" on Fisher
street. The fire alarm which
was first given since the fire
bell was placed in position in
the new Town Hall, was
promptly responded to by our
fireman. These stores were
only one story structures, and
were covered with tin. The
fire originated between over
head cealilig and the roof,
over the nom occupied by Mr
Sheppard. Owing to this fact
it was impossible to get at the
fire, until; it burned through
the wall,s of the building.
The firemen worked heroic
ally to save the house, but it
is a total wreck. Each of the
stores were occupied at the
time. The first room was oc
cupied by Will Horah, who
was conducting a furniture
business n it; the second was
occupied by Mrs. McGowan,
the dressmaker; the third by
Louis Lichenstein, tailor; the
