Hersey, opposite Town Hall, Stock is complete and Goods wil be sold at a small margin over cost, Fire, On Monday evg, about 9.30 o'clock, the fire alarm announced what might have been_ one of the most serious fires that has ever visited Exeter. A couple of young men in passing Mr. Folland's tin and stove depot noticed a light be tween two buildings, and upon investi- gation found that the interior of Mr. Folland's work shop was ablaze. • The alarm was given and very soon a large crowd of citizens were at hand, who with pails in a short time had the fire under control, the fire department fin- ishing the work. As ib was the building and stock were very much damaged, the total loss being estimated at between $500 and $600. Mr. Folland had left the building but shortly before, and the only reason he can give as to the cause of the fire is that during the evening the door of the stove flew open, allowing coals to fall on the floor, some of which must have escaped his notice. This statement is borne out by the fact that the floor for some distance around the stove was burned through, many of the shop tools being found in the basement. Had not the fire been noticed and checked when it was, the east side of Main-st. from James to John streets, would have fared badly, as, in the ma- jority of cases, the buildings are pioneer frame structures and would have been as susceptible as paper to fiery element, and besides a high wind was prevailing at the time. Much praise is due those citizens who so quickly formed a bucket brigade, as also the fire department for their prompt action. Itch cured in 30 minutes by Woolford's Sanitary Lotion. Sold by C. LUTZ.
