At about O'clock yesterday morning
the row of frame ShantieS that has
stood on Main street for the last forty
three years, was destroyed by fire, the
total loss being small and the impor-
lance of the event arising mainly from
the fact that an eyesOre is removed and
will be replaced by respectable build
ings. The fire originated from bad
chimney. and was first discovered in a
room over John Lyons saloon. The
flames then spread and burned the
buildings owned by John GlaSpie, John
Lyons and Joseph Wolf. and occupied
by John Lyons as SALOON, Albert Mel
lin, grocer, William Barbridge, barber,
and S. Woolfan, tailor. The entire loss
is small and is fully covered by insur-
ance. except as to bui dingS IN the case
of Joseph Wolf, who had lost faith in
insurance companies and refused to take
out a policy. A. Mellin is insured to
the extent of his loss on stock.
