Jamaica Brevities

New York, 1895

A fire alarm bell weighing 800 pounds has been hung in the tower of Resolute hose company's house on Talford Lawn.

The members of the Jamaica club held a musical at their club rooms Saturday evening, at which a select audience was present. The program was under the direction of Charles R. Muller.
