A needless alar moi fire was turned m from box ? for an insignificant blaze in small pile of excelsior at the home of George Bliss, at 491 North Main street, Wednesday afternoon q lew minutes after l o'clock. Both the Greenevitle companies res bonded but their assistance was not needed, for the fire was out long before they got there, and they reached the scene in their usual fast time
 During the severe weather the water pipes under the floor of the Bliss home have been wrapped in excelsior. but even this covering did not prevent the pipes freezing up in the cold of Tues day night, and about noon Wednesday Mrs. Bliss, removing the excelsior started in to thaw them out with light ed newspapers. A burning paper fell into the pile of excelsior, and a lively blaze sprang UD and attracted the att tenuon of a neighbor. who at once rang in what he afterward admitted him self to be an uncalled for alarm, for the blaze was easily smothered and hard ly bit of damage resulted.
