Summary of the News That Is Being Pub
lished by Exchanges.
CHESTER-The Lantern, August
IL: Captain o. A. Hamlin, of the c. &
NV. passed through the city Wed
pesday, going south. '.''''''.Mr. w. H.
Newbold's house, on Valley street,
was burned yesterday morning about
2 o'clock. When the attention of the
neighbors was attracted by noise, as of
something falling, the house seemed to
be full of fire, and when the door was
opened it broke out all over the roof.
The wreck as it stands is witness to
the effectiveness of the waterworks.
The whole interior, overhead, and roof
were burnt to coal, and in this condi-
tion the fire was extinguished as com
pletely as if it had been dipped in
lake. The family were all at Edge
moor and no one was in the house.
Assuming that the fire was accidental,
the best explanation seems to be that
there was barrel of unslacked lime in
a closet, and in it a jug or keg of wine,
which may have leaked ard started
fire from the Stacking of the lime.
There was combustible stuff all around.
There was 5000 insurance on the house
and $3.50 on the furniture, presuma-
bly, about two.thirds of the value.
