Three fires in five days is a pretty fair fire record for any town, yet such was-the record made in Rensselaer between Saturday from 11 p. m. to Wednesday, 9a. m. The first alarm was turned in at 11 p. m. Saturday night, when it was found that the Glazebrook blacksmith shop, now occupied by Renicker Bros, was on fire. The second alarm was Tuesday noon, when Granville Moody’s ice house was found to be on gre, and the third came Wednesday morning in the shape of a small fire at Mrs. Letitia Benjamin’s barn on North Cullen street.-jLThe first fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin, but it was discovered and extinguished before much damage was done. The Moody fire caught from a bonfire of trash a few yards away from the ice house, and the roof of the building and some adjacent sheds were practically ruined ere the flames were under control. The Benjamin fire was also caused from a bonfire, but it was discovered and extinguished ere much damage was wrought.
