The qneatfon it often asked, bow much
taa Petroleum Centra contributed In the
way of business to the prosperity of Titus
vtUe; and what amount does aba now con
tribute to the income of two newspapera
published there one tbe Herald and tbe
other tbe Courier.
It might be difflonlt to give an exaot
anawer, but buaineaa men here know well
that the trade that bat goo from thit point
to Tituiville It limply Immense, and that
the prosperity af that place la In a large

About twenty minutes of 11 o'clock last

that tbt building was ia tb court of a few

The origin of tbe fir ia uoknowu, but
from th fact that tb Buffalo UomH;es

probable that tba fir was tha work ol au
