Mon Washington street. Summon-
IngOffioerPennington. the two police-
man made an investigation and ascer- .
rained that the place was filled with
smoke. Ofiicer Pennington ran to box

On the arrival of the firemen the front
andrear doors of the store were forced
open, and several of the window lights
hrokenout. The smoke poured out in
great volumes. Home of the firemen en-
tersd the store. and the fire was located
in the water closet at the foot of the base-
ment stairs. One of the extinguishers
from the hook and ladder truck was tak-
en inside, and the flames subdued with-
, out the use of water from the hose.
which had been connected with :i hyd-
rant on Washington street. and run
through the hallway of the building oc-
' copied by Nelson Dickerman. t0 the rear
of the store. The water, leaking from
the hose. ran into the furnace room of
Mr. Dickerman‘s store. but did no
damage.
The damage to i.llt‘ wwdwo‘rk iu the
basement of Mr. Stillson's store will
amount to about aim. The greater dam-
age was done by smoke. which filled the
entire building. and the breaking of “l?
plate glass in the front doors. Mr. Still»
son states that his stock of teas and cof-
fees and some of his drugs are ruined.
He carries an insurance of $5,000 with
the agency of Jacob M. Layton.
Mr. Stillson is of the opinion that the
fire was started by someone throwing a
match or lighted cigar or cigarette on
the-floor,whicli is covered with “'0nt
shavings. It is probable they smoulder-
ed during the night and finally g it to a
blaze.
