 What might have been a serious fire was checked at its early stages last night. As some people were sit ting on the porch of the Stevens block on South Main street they smalled smoke coming from the part occupied by a family named Mai, and by gaining an entrance they found a blaze in the corner back of a couch in the parlor. The flames were quickly extinguished and no alarm was sounded. It was we'll that the fire was discovered so quickly as there was no one at home at the time and a fire in that locality would do considerable damage as there are many tenement blocks nearby.
 The engineer for the railroad com pany has pointed out to the borough authorities that it would be we'll if Bridge street at the north end of the foundry could be strengthened and this could be done if a strip of land could be obtained from George w. Andrew, who owns the land on the north side of Bridge street where proposed changes would be made. It would require the obtaining of a strip of land beginning at a point and extending to a width of three and one-half feet and sT feet in length. It was thought that this strip would be given to the town by Mir Andrew. but this gentleman says he don't see why he should give away anything as the town never gave him anything. It looks now that if Bridge street is to be made straight at this point the borough will have 10 buy. and while Mir An- drews is not ready to give away he is willing to sell.
