Double Frame Building Owned by
Richard Foster Destroyed by
Fire A Merry Party.
An alaim of fire sounded, from box
21 at the coiners, brought the vari
ous file companies of the boiough out
vesterday morning about 9 o'clock.
They soon located the Hie on Rlgg
street, and had a stream on the burn
ing dwelling in a short time. The
file was ln the double wooden frame
building owned by Richard Foster and
was burning fiercely at the ariival of
the fire companies. Nelghbois dlscov
eied the blaze a short while before,
and these, with others, succeeded in
getting the greater pait of Foster's
household effects fiom the building.
The other side of the building wis
occupied by Geoige Harper and fam
ily, who lost neaily all of their house
hold goods. When the flames were
finally out, the building and Its con
tents weie entirely destioyed.
The oiigln of the lite Is supposed
to have been caused fiom a spark
alighting on the loof of the house fiom
a wood-working mill neaiby. Foster's
loss on the building will amount to
about $G00, which Is covered by insur
ance. Harper's loss to his household
goods will be about $300.
