The Grove City Fire.

Three towns within few miles of each
other have lately been visited by dis
astrous confagrations. Harrisville and
Centerville caught it some time ago and
early last Friday morning, Grove City had
its tarn. The fire originated in the barber
shop of W. W. Forest ahd spread very
rapidly. The citizens worked heroically,
but the flames were beyond their control
and quickly crept from building to building
until the space between the Grove City
Bank building and the Pittsburg, Shenango
and Lake Erie Railroad, was laid waste
and was mass of smoldering ruins
The principal losses were as follows: NJ.
Rosenfield, So, 600; W. J. Harshaw, $4, 600;
H. W. Koonce, Sc, 900; "Mrs. D.. G. Court
ney Mrs. Stein, 50, 900 each; David Kerr,
w. X. Craig, W. Rligh, $500 each. The
other losses range from $3.50 to 1000.
The insurance will cover about half the
loss. 1t is not known how the fire
originated, but it is supposed to have been
the work of incendaries.
