General News From the Metropolis
of Belmont County.


Yesterday morning about ten o'clock
fire was discovered in the first floor Of
the Gravel Hill school house, having
caught from the 1ues of the furnace.
The fire was making good Roadway
but the prompt arrival of the depart
met, who had four streams of water
on it, soon flooded it out. ALI the chill
dren in the school were gotten out in
good order, although quite a number
were badly frightened. The damage
will not be large, although the hall
floors were partly torn up so as to get
at the fire, also some of the beams were
badly burned.
The second blaze occurred at the B.
& o. passenger depot, which was caused
from a gas jet in the cellar coming in
close contact with the wall. 1t was
soon extinguished and no loss of any
consequence was done.
