Extract from the Gazette, 1735
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, April 10, 1735.

Wednesday Night last a Fire broke out near the Prison, in a Smith’s Shop, which was presently consumed; together with another Smith’s Shop, and two Wheelwrights Shops, they being all of Wood. The Prison was in great Danger, as also a Row of Houses to the Westward of the Fire, one of which was considerably Damag’d; but by the extraordinary Diligence and Activity of the People, the Fire was at length suppress’d, with only the entire Loss of those four Shops.
