Fire destroys Hess building on Lackawanna Avenue
A two story brick structure at Lackawanna avenue and Seventh Street burned yesterday morning. The Hess brothers owner valued the property at 96000 with 8600 insured. J T Williams and company held 1000 in the same agency and stock lost was about 7000. Residents on the upper floors suffered total losses, with no insurance. Fire originated disputedly with theories focusing on second floor or heated flooring. Firemen battled smoldering tea and coffee bales amid a weakening brick wall as crowds gathered. A large list of local notes follows under News Notes and Personal.
