In the account of the recent fire in
Union, copied into the ENQUIRER from the
Union Times the statement was made by the
Times that the origin of the fire was attribu-
ted to the careless throwing of a match among
some loose paper by clerk in W. r. Briggs
& Co.'S store, after lighting cigar. Since
that publication appeared, the young man al
luded to informs the editor of the Times that
there was no loose paper anywhere near
where he threw the match, and when he threw
it, after lighting his cigar, he stepped on it
and he believes it was put out. And further,
that his brother was in the store after he left
it and saw no fire then. As we published
the paragraph imputing carelessness to the
clerk, in justice to him we give him the bene'
fit of his statement. The Times concludes
that the origin of the fire is as yet a mystery.
