J. A. PETERS STORE BURNED.

j. A. Peters store and workshop
went up in flame and smoke, early
Monday morning. The fire was dis
covered by Mrs W. H. Peters, and call
ing Fred Sincerbox, who gave the
alarm, and with few neighbors pro-
ceeded to save as much Of the con-
tents as possible, as the building could
not be saved. At great personal risk,
barrels of kerosene were rolled out as
they were uncomfortably hot. Fortu-
nately the fire was farthest from
the store part, giving time to remove
the most OF the goods of value. The
fire is thought to have been started by
some person or persons breaking into
the cellar under the workshop for
hard cider, which Mr. Peters had stor-
ed for vinegar and dropped a match
into some litter, as the door was found
forced open, where the fire was burn
ing. Mr. Peters was in New York at the
time and has lost many tools of all
kinds in his work shop, on which, aud
with the building, there was no insur-
anCe.
