Special to the Scranton Tribune
Montrose, Aug. 31.-During the noon
hour today an alarm of fire was
sounded, to which our three hre com
panies and several hundred citizens
responded. An inciplent blaze hiu
been discovered on the roof of the OLD
Moran blacksmith shop, on Chestnut
street, occupied by Edward Fessenden'
blacksmith and S. A. Dawley, wagon
maker. The good work of the hremen'
ably assisted by a citizens bucket pil-
gade, extinguished the fire betore any
serious damage was done. The dry
weather had made the roof OF the
building like tinder and 1t is believed
that some burning paper from pom
fire nearby had floated through the AR
and alighted on the roof, setting the
shingles afire. The wonder is that the
building did not burn to the ground,
together with Camps barracks
which it adioins.
