senger depot ard freight warehouse at Como
wfngo, Cecil county, on the line of the Col
umbia and Port Deposit railroad, was destroy
ed by fire last Sunday night, together with
the contents, consisting in part OF tickets,
merchandise, roofing and large amount OF
stored furniture. 1t is presumed the fire was
caused by the burning out of the switchboard in
the telegraph Office by lightning. The depot
was closed up at the time and the fire was not
discovered until it had made considerable head
way. The citizens made strenuous efforts to
save the building, but without success. The
telegraph line was damaged and all connec-
ton with other stations was cut off. The
loss is estimated at from $1,000 to $4,000

hanna Water Power and Paper Company and
