LAST evening about o'clock Kimberly S
blacksmiths shop, in Manchester, was dis
covered on fire. Reymann's fire brigade
were quickly at the scene OF fire and did
very effective work, but owing TO the start
the fire had of them, were unable to save
the building. They kept the fire from
spreading, which it undoubtedly
otherwise would have done. Mr..
Kimberly's losses will be about two or three
hundred dollars. No satisfactory expla-
nation can be given Of the origin OF the
fire. The superstition, however, is that
the workmen must have by accident left a
few Goals OF fire in the building which set
it on fire.

fore both wheels passed over her. The
child was picked up and carried to a drug

nature. One of the wOrkmen, while lift
ing the car OFF the child, had his thumb
badly split open, Our informantwas unable
to learn the mans name.
