o'clock this morning damaged the
stock of confections of Joseph Salem,
in the former Grannis building at the
corner of Front and Cherry streets.
What caused tne fire is a mystery. but
it started under the shelving, probably
from box of sweeping dust that
was oil saturated, and into which it is
possible that a match or cigar stub
may have been thrown.
The fire communicated to some pals
and the shelves above, and caused a
