It was on a small piece of ground lying about a mile and a half from Twin Rocks. Mr. Fresh and his family had gone to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Fresh, near Vinco Saturday morning and knew nothing of the fire until they were almost home Sunday evening, when they met some acquaintances who informed them of what had happened. The origin of the fire is unknown. Everything was burned. When the neighbors discovered the flames it was too late to get anything out of the house as the heat was so intense. The building was insured. Scarlet fever has been holding possession of the town for quite a while but is now abating as there have been no new cases reported lately. There have been a number of fatalities from the dread disease, also from diphtheria. The new houses of the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke company are now nearly ready for occupancy. The mines have been running very slowly here lately. The only men in demand now are the carpenters as no matter which way you look new houses are visible. The Finlanders church is nearly completed.
