Noticeable Things from a Busy Week in Warren
A roundup of local events and happenings in Warren includes a $2,000,000 Cleveland fire, Odd Fellows Hall decorations by Rowland and Greenland, and clarified reports about E. T. F. Valentine’s liquor license. The Erie Presbytery meeting at Corry drew a large crowd, and a new band by the Struthers Hose Company shows promise. The Cleveland fire damaged 1100 by 1300 feet of business and lumber interests. A fall trotters meeting at the Driving Park is urged, and the 63d 11fth and 145th Pa. regiments plan a Titusville reunion with an excursion. Fruit markets flourish with watermelons and peaches, while criticism of league spies persists. The Choral Union gains members under Mr. McGrannehahan with ties to New York City, and a children’s music class is highlighted for ages 9 to 14.
