September 28, 1875, the Town Hall building was purchased from L. C. Bartlit and the addition was added in 1877.
Jennie Sommerville served as Librarian in 1880, 1881, 1882, and perhaps on up to 1889, when Mina Kissel was appointed. The latter served until No- vember, 1895, when she resigned.

The iron prison cages were purchased in the spring of 1890.
The engine house was moved to the front of the town lot in August, 1898.
Fires: The first building in Winchester that was consumed by fire was a frame house that stood just east of Mrs. Foor's residence on Waterloo street, and belonged to Nathaniel Tallman. It burned on a Sun- day morning in 1838 or 1839, and was occupied by a family named Birely. Perhaps the next fire was that of the Hott residence - which stood on the lot now occupied by Mrs. W. S. Alspach - in about 1852 or 1853. One of the rooms was filled with corn at the time, thus causing quite a hot fire. Dr. Geo. W. Blake's residence at the northeast corner of High and Columbus street burned at about 3 o'clock a. m. in Oc-

tober or November, 1860. E. B. Decker's saw mill, ad- joining the foundry building on the west, burned about midnight December 10, 1876. An epidemic of fires began with the burning of O. P. Chaney's warehouse on June 2, 1878. This fire was discovered about 8:30 on a Sunday morning, in the cupola on the large build- ing running north and south along the east side of the basin, and spread very rapidly to the long cribs towards. the east along the north side of the canal, and also to the large building to the west. This latter building stood along the north side of the basin and was of about the size and general appearance of the White- hurst and Carty warehouse. The buildings contained many bushels of grain at the time. The water had been drawn from the canal, and the corn when released rolled into the canal bed, where it continued to burn for a week or ten days. Help was telegraphed for from Columbus, but by the time the special train brought a fire engine down the citizens had the fire un- der control. For a time it seemed as if the village was doomed. Many of the citizens removed their valu- ables out of town, fearing its total destruction. Later in the same year Mr. Chaney built an elevator near the railroad - on the site of the present one - which was also consumed by fire on September 29, 1880. The fire was first discovered about 5 o'clock a. m. When dis- covered it had gained such headway that no attempt was made to save it. Mr. Chaney at once began the erection of the present building; the east part of this building was formerly the Loucks mill. On Saturday evening, September 15, 1883, C. P. Rees' hardware store on High street caught fire at lamp lighting time, it is supposed, from the fumes of gasoline used in pol- ishing stoves. It was a furious fire, and both stock

and building was soon totally consumed. Lee Lodge No. 384, I. O. O. F., owned and occupied the upper story, and lost all their furnishings and records. On the morning of September 29, 1883, three stables along the alley, between Liberty and Washington streets, be- longing to Mrs. Mary Wilson, Michael Lecrone and Henry Herbst, were burned. On October 30, 1883, at about I o'clock a. m., a cry of "Fire, fire !" called the citizens to the carriage works of C. Kuqua, on West Waterloo street. No other buildings were near by, and this one too nearly consumed to be saved. Simon Brown had erected this building a few years previous.
About this time a report was circulated that some "tramps" had felt offended at the treatment received by the town officials and had therefore sworn ven- geance. Most of the citizens became very uneasy, when the village council concluded to purchase a hook and ladder truck, which arrived on June 2, 1884. A fire company with thirty-five members was organized on November 27, 1883, called the "Winchester Pro- tectors." Rev. J. W. Davis was elected captain in rec- ognition of the active part he had taken at the C. P. Rees fire. This company was kept up, with J. W. Young, Wm. G. Ochs and Chas. W. Miller as success- ive captains, until the spring of 1888, when on account of the council authorizing the marshal to ring the fire bell as a signal for the saloons to close they disbanded. They held their last meeting on April 26, 1888, when they voted the balance of the funds in their treasury to the base ball club. The fire bell was put on the Town Hall in April, 1885.
On Tuesday evening, February 19, 1884, the hook and ladder truck was used for the first time at the burning of "Uncle Johnnie" Kramer's stable on Mound

street. This was the fourth fire within a few months. At the April election a proposition to purchase a hand fire engine was submitted to the voters; 99 voted for and 53 against, and on June 2, 1884, it arrived. On April 14, 1884, at about 10 o'clock in the evening, the planing mill on East Waterloo street and the canal was discovered on fire. Although the citizens made a heroic effort to save it, by the next morning only the brick stack and the warped machinery was left to mark the remains of the buildings and lumber. On the evening of the fire one of the buildings from the Carty corner was moved onto the lot adjoining the lumber yard office, and was also consumed. It was with great difficulty that the buildings on the opposite side of the street were saved. John Helpman and Henry Shaffer had erected this mill in the spring of 1857. It had been operated by Mr. Helpman until about six months previous to the fire, when George F. Bareis had purchased it. The present planing mill was built and equipped the same season.
Early on February 5, 1885, fire was discovered in the store room on the northeast corner of High and Waterloo streets, occupied by James A. Billingsly with a dry goods store. The fire had gained so much head- way before discovered that it soon communicated to the drug store of R. C. Caslow adjoining on the north, which had, during the proprietorship of Weisman & Speilman, been connected by an open archway. Both buildings were completely destroyed.
The storage shed of the Central Ohio Baling Com- pany burned on Friday, July 28, 1893. On October II, 1894, at about 4 o'clock p. m., the Hocking Valley depot was discovered to be on fire, and was totally de- stroyed. The present depot was occupied first on De-

cember 3 of the same year. The Empire Mills, with the adjoining covered bridge and residence, were to- tally destroyed by fire on Friday night, August 21, 1895. David Boyer's stable was entirely consumed by fire on April 8, 1898. The records of W. D. Beeks, the village clerk, referring to this fire, says: "At this juncture the fire alarm sounded, and fire found to be on the premises of one of our fellow councilmen - Mr. David Boyer. The council chamber was soon empty, and business only partially transacted."
While these fires were misfortunes and much re- gretted at the time, the village has gained new and modern buildings in the stead of the old ones destroyed. The business rooms in Winchester (as well as the side- walks) are much above the ordinary for a place of its size, and traveling men often remark that "there are more plate glass stone fronts here than in most towns of the size of Winchester."
