While workmen were engaged in
spreading tar and stone-chip on
Cherry street Friday afternoon, the
tar being heated in the portahle
furnace boiled over and caught on
fire. and in an instant clouds Of
dense smoke were rolling up. The
close proximity of the blazing tar to
the dwelling of G. R. Grason made
the fire threatening one, and the
chemical engine was called to the
scene, but hand extinguishers proved
so effective that the services of the
engine were not required, the blaze
soon being under control.
