The two cars recently added to the
number running between Broad street
ard Forest Hill Park have made a very
noticeable Improvement in the schedule.
The cars run about eight minutes apart

line IS very large. especially in warm
weather. only summer cars will be run

The damage done by the fire in Mr..
Bernard T. Vaden's residence Monday
night was slight, and fully covered by in
furance The house. which was owned

damaged seriously. Probably the servant
erl. who stood completely dazed with
fright. sustained the greatest loss, as her
wearing apparel was destroyed. When
the fire was first discovered the flames
were leauing out OF the window and IL is
believed that closing the window, thus
cutting OF the draft. saved the house,
and. perhaps. the adjacent residences.
