Another fire: The bells sounded an alarm of fire which was the dwelling house of William Mara in the southwestern portion of the city, just south of Duffy’s soap factory. The engine companies were there promptly, but it was some minutes before water could be had.
Nearly half the population of the city turned out to the fire. From hard work and the free use of water by buckets, the soap factory, stables and residence of Mr. Duffy were saved. The dwelling was not insured and Mr. Mara possesses little else of value. The cause of the fire originated from matches carried between the ceiling and the roof by mice.
