ment in the house Eofs correction for not less

gress,

firm large number Of Governor Warfields

Outside Help Timely.

SCRANTON. Pa. February 26.-Fire to-
day destroyed the business portion Of the
town of Nicholson, situated on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad.
Seventeen buildings. all Of them frame
structures. were burned. causing a loss es-
timated at $4,000. An overheated stove in
the residence of DR.. Kelly was the cause
of the fire.
TUNKHANNOCK. Pa. February %
The fire originated in the Nicholson post
Office and quickly spread to Leroy's cloth
ing store. thence to Pratts drug store and
Frank Proper's general merchandise store.
The flames gained such Roadway that as
sistance was asked of Scranton and Hall
stead.
A company from the latter town was
first to arrive and had a stream on the
flames shortly after o'clock. Later a
Scranton company arrived. but owing to
the scarcity Of water 1t could be of no
assistance.
Communication with Nicholson was had
over the long-distance telephone. but there
was an interruption to the wires early In
the day. A report from Factoryville, a
small town near the scene of the fire, states
that the flames are under control.
