FIRE.-About quarter past IL o'clock
on Tuesday morning fire was dis
covered in a dwelling house on the
corner of Spruce and Meridian streets,
owned by Mr.. VIM. Ward and occu-
pied by Mr.. r. V. Jones and family as
laundry. The alarm was given and
the people aroused from their quiet
slumbers. When discovered the flames
had made such progress as to render
all efforts to save the building almost
hopeless; but the firemen were
promptly on hand and worked most
earnestly and faithfully, finally sue
ceeding in staying the work of the
destroying element and saving the
building from total destruction, though
in a very damaged condition from the
effects of both fire and water, Mr..
Jones and his father were asleep in the
building when the fire was discovered
but were aroused just In time to enable
them to escape being cremated alive.
Fortunately the wife of the younger
Mr.. Jones was on a visit to the home
of her parents in Rootstown at the
time. Much of the personal effects in
the house were rescued from the
flames. There is diversity of opin-
ion as to the origin of the fire. some
attributing it to incendiarism, while
others think it the result of a defective
flue. The loss on building from 5000
to $500; no insurance. Loss on per-
sonal property fully covered by insur.
