Fire At Northport A disastrous conflagration visited the neighboring village of Northport Wednesday night- the large general store of F.M. Brown & Co., the general store of I.M. Brown the residences of David Jennings, L. Richards, Jas. Charnley and Mrs. Dye being consumed. The first broke out shortly after midnight, under an outside stairway to F.M. Brown & Co.'s store. and is supposed to have originated from a smouldering fire-cracker, a number of young people having been engaged in firing such pleasant little fourth of July reminders in that civinity the previous evening. The village has no fire engine, and it is indeed remarkable that "the bucket brigade" succeeded so well in arresting the progress of the flames which at the beginning threatened destruction to the large mill and lumber yard and the greater part of the town. A portion of the goods were removed from the two stores and yet the loss of the Browns is heavy. F. M. Brown & Co. had insurance of $3,000 on stock and building while their loss nearly doubles that figure. I.M. Brown's loss is $3,000-insurance $1,500. Dave Jennings' loss, $1,500-insurance $1,000. L. Richards, residence and barn $1,000-insurance $750. Jas. Charnley, loss $500-no insurance. Mrs. Dye, loss $500-no insurance.
