unknown origin destroyed K C. Mc
Meens's department store and the Ouss
hardware, with the restaurant nnd
dwelling of MrB C 0. Duncan, at Mlf.
ftlntown today. The flames broke out
between the two store buildings and
the Interior of both was a mass of
nn mo when the firemen arrived.
The work of fighting the flames was
seriously handicapped by low pressure
on the fire mains and the Pennsylvania
Itallroad Company attached their water
system and must be given the credit of
saving an entire business block. Lewis
town was appealed to for aid, but were
unable to reach the scene promptly,
owing to tho temporary structure across
Jacks Creek on tjie State road, which
had been conaemneu or ncjr oiuijj.
