November 12, 1893 at 9:45 p.m., fire bells rang out an alarm of fire near the center of town. Firemen soon raced to West Main Street (King) one half block west of Railroad Street (Earl) where they found a barn and its contents well involved in fire. Firemen soon had three powerful streams flowing but before they could extinguish the blaze a nearby stable was also destroyed. Damages were estimated at $950.00. The
Vigilant and
Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm. It was reported that the plugs are in need of flushing as when the first water was flowed mud came from the line.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
