Damaged by Fire.
Fire was discovered about 5 O'Clock
Wednesday morning, in the house re-
Gently purchased by Thomas Collision,
on Faunce Landing road. But for the
fact OF Joseph Smith, one OF our gro
GERS, going to get his car from a near
by garage, the building would have
burned down. Mr.. Smith went to the
fire house and sounded the alarm.
When the fremen arrived smoke
was pouring out OF all quarters and it
looked as though the flames would
break through at any moment. Il is
believed the fire had been shoulder
ing all night between the partitions
of the house; the floors were burned
TO the cellar.
When Chief c. NJ. Kesler reached
the fire with the chemical, the iremen
started work Immediately and saxed
the house. The extent of the damage
is $500. This is the first opportunity
