A FIRE SCARE.

Bremen were called out, Friday morn- ing last week, at about9 o'clock to extin- guish fire started in the coal room of Parmalee & Tomlinson's undertaking rooms on Main street, near the bridge. Lively work by the firemen prevented what might have been a big blaze. Mrs Holmes City millinery rooms were in the same building and shoe shop in the rear. Their things were rushed out at a lively rate. The fire was soon mastered and the building saved. The damage may be $250. The tenants damage was mostly by water. The building is a wooden structure owned by David S.. Cosier. It was probably caused by the upsetting or explosion of a lamp. Some one had just brought some coal and left lamp burning in the coal house. Again on Saturday morning about 5.30, the fire men were summoned to the same neigh borhood, only two or three doors from the fire. Friday morning. The building called Nichols block occupied on the first and second floor by Mrs B. M. Rolf as stationery and fancy store, while the third floor was occupied as boarding house. The fire started in the storage room on the second floor, no one knows how. The firemen found the fire well started when they arrived on the scene, inside of five minutes, but they soon con quered it. In the corner of the block facing both Main and White streets is located the Barnum drug store. The rear was exposed to the fire. The dam age. in this case also, was principally by water and roughly rushing things. Mrs Rolf was damaged by rough estimate, about $500, Barnum $i00. Both are we'll insured. The ffremen receive great credit.
