Slight Blaze in Winston Hall.

At 6.15 o'clock last Thursday
evening the cry of Fire" created
great deal of CONSERVATION when
1t was found that the blaze was in
Winston Hall, Berryville's opera
house. The fire apparatus was
quickly upon the scene. but the
wrench for turning on the water
at the plug was missing. This
was very fortunate, as the fire was
put out with half 4 dozen buckets
of water If the wrench had been
at hand the Opera House and !.
W. Gayer' $ store would have been
flooded. 1t appears that Manager
Taylor had started good fire in
the Hall To warm it up for the an
nuai german of the Young Men of
Berryville. and had gone out for
a short time, without any thought
of danger. The stove became read
holland ignited the woodwork near
the window. The blaze was seen by
Mr.. George Cunningham, whe re-
sides next door, and he promptly
gave the alarm. \ few buckets of
water soon smothered the burning
woodwork, and a quantity of corn
