A $37 Scare.

The quiet Of Sunday evening was rudely
disturbed shortly after 9 o'clock by the
sounding of the fire alarm from box % at
the corner of Williams and Green streets.
The hook and ladder and chemical com.
panies, the Abenaqui and Shamrock hose
companies and about half the village re.
sponded quickly, but before all could reach
the scene of disturbance the report was
circulated that there was no fire, and the
sounding OF the alarm was an accident
1t seems that two women hired horse and
carriage at Lovel's stable and were taking
a little ride. While travelling at lively
pace they turned the corner where box %
is and the axle Of the wagon struck the
post. This sprung the axle and Jared the
post so that the alarm sounded. The
women were not thrown out.
In attempting to ring in the out alarm
one man pressed the button three separate
times before he heard response and thi.
made 21, SO part of the department wen
to that box before they found what the
trouble was. About SO members of thu
fire department we're out, and each viii

ride the women took will cost the corpora
