Thursday night and Friday were the
scene of number Of incipient fires in
Kcndal's hall. The fire originated in
the cellar each time, probably the first
appearance not having been extin-
guished was the cause of the others.
The fire was first noticed and presuma-
lily extinguished before midnight, but
broke out again in the straw in the eel
lar about two in the morning. but was
controlled. At 9 clock another alarm
was sounded, and the hose attached to
the hydrant at the corner of the Citi-
zcn'S Bank, and after considerable work,
the FIRE was entirely extinguished. 1t
certainly was lucky feature of the af-
fair, that parties were in the hall at all
hours of the night, or the building, and
probably adjoining ones as well, would
have been destroyed Billiards is
most facinating game, you know.
