Ireland Home Burned.
Set on fire in the roof by sparks
from a passing locomotive, it is
thought, the frame dwelling house OF
Mrs. Asenath Ireland, adjacent to the
railroad tracks one mile north of the
Abseeon station, was entirely consum-
ed by fire shortly after 3 o'clock on
Thursday afternoon of last week. As
soon as the fire was discovered an
alarm was turned in, and the Nolun-
teer Firemen responded with des-
patch, but the flames had gained such
Roadway that by the time they arriy-
ed on the scene the task of saving
the building was a hopeless one. The
house had been vacant for quite a
while, Mrs. Ireland having made her
home for several years with the fam
lily of her son., Joseph. at Southbridge,
Mass.
