Destructive Fire IN Kent.

About II O'clock Saturday night fire
was discovered between two bakeries,
on Franklin Avenue, ill Kent, owned
by W.R. Gardner and Daniel Roettler
They were adjoining additions of the
same building. apd located next to the
Collins House, one of the principal
hotels of Kent, and run by Mr.. Ezra
Fowler, formerly of this place. The
buildings being frame and quite old
the fire gained rapid headway, and be-
fore il could be gotten under control
had envelOped the entire row of build
ings between Erie street and couple
of hundred feet north. The Collins
House was entirely burned down, the
saloon and restaurant of Geo. Risk,
Gardner's and BOettler's bakeries,
HilderhOofs saloon and the saloon
which occupied one corner of the
Collins House. The Kent fire depart
ment has but one steamer, and it was
a larger fire than they have generally
had there, but the citizens were called
out by the shop whistles and bells,an
by energetic work confined the flames
to the limits mentioned. The Ravenna
fire department was telegraphed for,
but owing to some delay occasioned in
responding to the summons, it was
thought unnecessary for them to go,
and they were so notified. The Col
Inns House had forty rooms, nearly all
furnished, and but small portion of
the furniture was saved. The aggre-
gate loss to the hotel and adjoining
establishments will be about 1000.
The contiagration was the largest the
metropolis has ever experienced.
