An alarm of fire at s o'clock Mon
day morning drew large crowd to
the Vaughan house on Prospect Ave.
|. The fire was in the upper part of the

the woodwork. The timely discovery
OF the same undoubtedly prevented
serious confagration, as it was a

scorched and other furniture more or
less damaged. Insured.

the mail here quickly.
The change in railroad timetable

mediate points, with a return train
reaching here about nine p, m would
be appreciated by many. Whether
it would pay or not is another ques-
ton.
