comes nextf
South Paris got fire alarm Sunday
forenoon that broke up all the church
services, and gave the community quite
q scare. The chimney burned out at the
Lawson Hin house, opposite the Method
ist church on Pleasant Street, and the
house caught fire. The fire department
responded very promptly to an alarm
and extinguished the blaze with small
dsmsge. II was discovered, that when
the house was raised recently the chin
ney failed TO "stretch" To the require
meuts Of the new arrangement, and that
up under the roof WAS an opening OF
about five inches, where the chimney
failed TO connect, and the flames were
making out. The fire boys got stream
on tn the blaze, and then chopped around
the chimney where 1t comes through the
roof and the upper end dropped into
place. The house is occupied by the
families Of q. $. Morse and Charles
Dwinsl. This ought to be a warning to
people who raise up houses to look after
the chimneys.
