Lock-Up Destroyed By Fire

On April 3, 1872 at 9:00 p.m. the towns’ citizens were aroused by the cry of fire. Firemen soon found the cause of the alarm to be in the lock-up to the rear of the Council House on East King Street. A box containing gunpowder exploded destroying the lock up to the rear of the Council House. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant and Cumberland Valley Fire companies answered the alarm.
