Tunkhannock, April 2.-An alarm of
fire was sounded at about o'clock this
morning and on n response by the hose
company the fire was located in the
dwelling house of George B. Dewitt,
on Bridge street Three streams of wa
ter were quickly turned on the building
and the fire was soon under control

the fire might have proved serious, as
the Wyoming hotel is situated next
to the burned property on the south
separated by only few feet of vacant
land and on the north is the residence
of Spencer d. Reed, just across a mar
row alley. The fire evidently started
from the roof and the whole upper
story of the building is a total loss.
