The nO-alarm record the local
firemen were trying to establish
during Fire Prevention Week was
smashed last Thursday afternoon
at 4:30 p. M, when a small shed
in the rear of the home of John
j. Harrington on Harrington ave-
nue., caught fire and was destroyed,
the blaze spread across a small
pound and ignited the end of two
story barn before the firemen ar
rived. The property abuts the east
side of the railroad right of way
and it is thought was caused by
embers of train that passed a
short time before the fire was dis
civered. The firemen responded
quickly with both engines, soon
getting the blaze under control.
They held up railroad traffic for a
short time when hose lines were
carried across the tracks. After the
blaze was under control the fire.
men cut their lines and ran them
under the tracks. They managed to
save the stable though one end is
badly charred. The loss is esti-
mated at about 5000, partly cover
ed by insurance.
Miss Betty Stroud has accepted
position with the Hercules Pow
der Company in Wilmington.
Miss Mary Clark has been visit
ing her sister, Mrs. Clara Watts in
this city.
