The festivity attracted pleasure-. seekers from the whole surrounding -country, a.:d the building was so packed just before the ball .com m2nced tha' the single door which affordedi entrance and exit was nail ed up to prevent the admittance of scores who clamored outside. While the dancing was in full swing a pine bra.nch caught fire and fell to the floor.
