FIRE AT GLEN EYRE.
The "OId Depot'' and Water Tank at
the Erie Railroad Station at That
Place Are Totally Destroyed.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Hawley, Pa. Jan. 31-About 1.30
o'clock this morning the "old depot" at
Glen Eyre Ga small station on the Erie
railroad, about eight miles east of this
place. was discovered to be on fire.
When it was first discovered the
whole building was a mass of flames.
and it had gained such headway that
it was too late to try to save the build
ing. A water tank which was in close
proximity soon took fire and was also
destroyed. The railroad bridge, which
is near the scene of the fire, was
thought at one time to be in danger,
and the track hands at Hawley and
Kimbles were called, and ordered to
proceed at once to the bridge, to pro-
teCt it if necessary.
Since the erection of a new depot at
that place, the old one was used as a
freight house. A stove and some ar
ticles used for erecting signal towers
was the only freight in the building
which was Of much value. The origin
of the fire is not known.
