- The Fire Fiend Visits Wooster Like a Thief in the Night, And Lays In Shapeless Ruins a Whole Business Block: The Block on the Southwest Corner of the Public Square Completely Destroyed by Fire A Blaze that Rivaled the Arcadome Fire in 1874 Probably the Work of an Incendiary
- On the last Friday morning about one o'clock the fire fiend visited our city with almost startling vengeance. Coming like a thief in the night, it obtained full mastery of the situation before the alarm could be sounded and its disastrous progress stayed at the very beginning, and hence Wooster suffered one of the greatest conflagrations known to its history. The business block between the Public Square and the Central House, facing east on South Market Street, where the day before were well-filled store-rooms and busy merchants was completely demolished, nothing but a shapeless mass of charred ruins being left to tell the story of its former usefulness.
