 Conf1agration Averted
 A serious fire was narrowly avert ed this morning in Kensington, when flames from pile of rubbish burn ing on a lot east of Main street spread to surrounding bushes and brush. Prompt work on the part of employees of the Fogliati Co. and several other residents prevented the blaze from making much headway. A heavy wind carried the flames and sparks to the dried weeds which blazed up like finder. The property in the rear of the Kensington post office, the Kensington tailor shop and the Berlin Savings bank build ing is uncultivated and there is an abundance of weeds and grass now grown to a great height and dried out as a result of summer suns. The fire fighters were employed for about 20 minutes before they checked the flames. The conse- quences might have been serious, as several barns and hen houses, con- taining horses and hundreds of chickens were in the path of the flames.
