A Slight Blaze
On Wednesday night, about 10 o’clock a large brass amp was left burning in the millinery store of Carroll and Wood, on Magee avenue. Miss Carroll, hearing something fall, went up-stairs and found the room almost full of flames. Seizing a rug, she succeed in subduing the fire on the floor and assistance arriving by this time the fire was soon extinguished. The show case was broken and a few millinery goods destroyed was about all the damage that was done.
