The fire which came near disastrous proportions at the [[Baptist Church]], badly damaged about 2500. Damage covered by insurance on Wednesday evening of last week at about 5:30 pm. A cry of fire was heard on N Market Street and soon sharp clanging of the fire bells brought firemen and a large crowd of private citizens to the [[Baptist Church]] on the corner of W Larwill and N Market Streets, the scene of a blaze. The fire had broken out in the Sunday school room and first discovered by smoke issuing from the windows. Those first upon the scene which opened window, were met with smoke. It was evident at once that the fire was made worse and that opening them would give it a drawl. The vast windows were therefore kept closed until the firemen, who with the hose in a little time extinguished the fire as they supposed and left the building to itself. The fire however, had worked its way to the ceiling and slate roof of the building and smoldered until 7 pm when fire broke out fresh and alarm again sounded and the firemen responded. The hose men worked for almost ½ an hour as the fire all the time was gaining a firmer hold. At one time, it was thought it would be impossible to prevent flames from consuming the audience room. 100 waiting hands took out all the movable property as the flames were dense and the smoke thick, coming from the roof of the Sunday school building, as the wind was coming from the NW. A frame building standing but a few feet from the church was dangerously threatened. The hook and ladder boys mounted the building, making several holes in the slate roof and hose men thrust their hoses and at once completely extinguished the flames in a few minutes. The building and its contents were badly damaged by smoke and water, which adjusted by insurance amounting to about 2403. The fire caught from the stove in the basement of the Sunday school room about 5 pm. The Sexton of the church built a fire in the furnace to arm the room in the evening and then went to supper. Fortunately, the roof of room was slate and kept it from bursting out.<br>
