asked Mr.. Trump to send engines, but ap.
prehensions were allayed when, at 4:SC
O'Clock, the flames were reported under con-

Chamber of Commerce was a continuation

Starr piano donated for the relief of the
sufferers. The expenditure of great deal
of oratory only brought out S275 in bids and

each. In few minutes he had $3.50 scooped

$500.

them II cases from Erie which the mayor
of that city sent through C. 7. Clark.
