ANOTHER FIRE II THE SOCTH WAED.
-festerday morning about balf-past Fix
O'Clock the alarm Of fire was again sound
ed, and the flames were discovered issuin.
from the roof Of n small frame dwcliu,
house on the north eide Of Logan street,
short distance east Of Allegheny. Tie
Logan hose company was promptly IN
hand and, with the aid Of the Cndire
boys, who also foon arrived, worked very
effectively in combating the Hamcs The
building was shvcd from total destruction.
although /: seems 10 be damaycd beyond
the hope Of repair. The fire doubiIcss
originated from ii spark from the kitchen
stove, the fire in which bad just been
lighted. The house was owned by Nj
Jacob Mansscs, who nov resides in Phi
adelphia, and was occupied by Mr.. Wei.
It widow ladv, with quite large family.
We believe the building vas insured. The
few articles of furniture belonging 70 Mr..
Wells were removed to place of safety.
Mr.. Wells is an invalid and in quite de-
ttute circumstances, and the position of
herself and family j. now more disagreo-
able than ever. A. they are very worthy
people and have seen better days, il would
seem that they are entitled 10 the speedy
aid OF all philanthropic persons.
