Centre Hall has not been visited for several years with a serious conflagra- tion until last Friday, when the start- ling alarm of fire was spread through town about seven o'clock in the even- ing. At the first ery it took but a mo- ment to locate the flames which were seen issuing from the stable belonging to Mr. William B. Mingle, in the rear of his residence. A crowd soon gathered to assist in subduing the flames but it was seen that the structure was doomed to destroyed, as the flames had spread over the building it was one roaring mass of fire. At first it was feared the flames would spread to other buildings in town and excitement for the time ran high. Adjoining Mr. Mingle’s stable was one belonging to Mrs. MeCulley and it was but a short time until the fire had communicated to this, and had wrapped the structure in a fiery embrace. The wind was blowing in a southerly direction and large sparks were carried over the town and for time affairs took a bad turn. Several roofs of dwellings took fire but with be n | tinguished.. To keep the fire under { control a building adjoining the Me- | Culley stable was torn down in a few {minutes and the flames were kept | from communicating to other build- lings. Several outbuildings near the { residence of Mr. Mingle were in flames |at one time and threatened the de | struction of his dwelling, but a bucket brigade was formed and by a hard {fight the flames were extinguished, | and with the burning of the MecCul- ily stable the fire was kept under control. Water fortunately was plen- { ty and two full reservoirs were at the { service of the town, The flames started at a manure pile i near the stable of Mr. Mingle and it is supposed to have originated fiom a { bucket of ashes which had been thrown { out by a member of the family that | afternoon. The ashes were supposed : to contain no live coals, but it seems they did and from the manure pile the | flames soon communicated to the sta i ble, which, owing to its dry spread very rapidly. Neither of the buildings was insur- ed, and the loss is complete. In Mr. Mingles’ stable there were several tons of hay and straw, lot of corn and other Larticles. No live stock was destroyed. | The loss is about $450 to M+. Mingle and about $300 to Mrs. McCully, on { which there is no insurance. stale, i assis Don't Be Backward.
