An alarm of fire was rung in from 
Box 31 about 6 o’clock Sunday 
evening. It proved to be at the see- 
tion house of the B. & M. R. R,, 
near the Manchester depot. The 
prompt response of the department 
had the fire, which seemed to be 
centered on the roof, under quick 
control. The high wind and sparks 
from a passing engine are held ac- 
countable for the blaze. The usual 
excitement attendant at such an un- 
usual happening in Manchester, 
drew a generous crowd -to the scene 
of the firemen’s operations.
