AN ALARM OF FIRE.

Some excitement was occasioned on
Wednesday evening by a slight fifire
at the residence of Mrs. S. Bolton, of
North Main street. Miss Leila Bolton
and her guest, Miss Maud Lull, were
surprised on entering an upper room
to find smoke pouring from the rear
of the house. Quickly giving an alarm
the occupants of the house succeeded
at last in extingushing the flames,
which had not gained much headway.
The fire originated in the chimney on
the second floor through some defect.
Fortunately the fire occurred when it
was possible to eXtinguish it, and so
the fine residence was saved with but
slight damage
