FIRES. 

 Thoroughfare, N. J. — Clement Budd 

 lost his hothouse by fire on the night 

 of Wednesday, February 25. 



Edinburg, Ind. — Thomas Woodard's 

 greenhouses and contents were de- 

 stroyed by fire on Feb. 16th, with a 

 loss of about $4,000. 



McKinley, Pa. — Fire from an ex- 

 ploding oil lamp in the greenhouse of 

 Patrick Whalen, Montgomery county, 

 destroyed that structure early on 

 Thursday, February 26, and ruined 

 $3500 worth of flowers being grown 

 for the Easter season. The flames 

 raged so fiercely that the Whalen 

 family, who live on one side of the 

 greenhouse, and the family of John 

 Livesey, who reside on the other side, 

 fled to the street in their night robes. 

 They were cared for by neighbors. 



The fire started about 2.30 o'clock 

 and burned for more than an hour. 

 Members of two fire companies, from 

 McKinley and Jenkintown, a mile to 

 the east, realizing the greenhouse 

 could not be saved, worked in the 

 zero weather to protect the Whalen 

 and Livesey homes. One side of the 

 Whalen house was badly scorched. 



The greenhouse was 18 by 150 feet.
