FIRE ON WEST MARKET STREET.

At o'clock Saturday morning a fire
alarm was turned in from Box S5, on
account of the blaze in a large dwell
ing house on West Market street. Be
fore the firemen had arrived on the
scene the fire reached a small one story
building nearby. The fire laddies pre-
vented any further spread OF the flames,
but could not save the two buildings
the main one of which was occupied by
Mrs. Mcnamara, while John, her son,
ran hotel in the small house.
The entire loss on the hotel stock ami
buildings will amount to $1,000, which
is covered partially by insurance. An
overheated stove is generally regarded
as the cause OF the conhagration.
