Fire did considerable damage this
afternoon at 1:30 o‘clock in the paint

was soon under control after the arriv-
al of the firemen and the damage will
not be great. Probably $1,000 will
cover it.
William ll. Trlstram, the clerk in
the store, had left the place for a nio-

then went back to the store. he had
noticed at first glance that the fire
had started near the stove at the rear
of the salt-groom. He shut the doors
until the firemen arrived.
No sooner had the supply wagon
driven tip than the heat burst out the
glass in one. of the front windows and
the smoke came pouring ottt into the
street. it was impossible to enter the
atorc. The firemen tried to crawl along
on the floor on their hands and knees
but were compelled to retreat, Part
of the men were detailed to go through
~e tenement upstairs. in which lived
the families of George Fisher and
James Harris and see that. they got
out safely.
At that time It looked as if the. build-
lng was doomed. as it was known that
there were large stores of oils and fur-
pentine in the cellar. it was feared
that the fire might reach these and
cause an explosion. Three lines of
hose were laid into the building, now
ever. and it was soon flooded.
The firemen worked like beavers and
the moment the smoke began to abate
they swarmed into the place. carrying
their hone nearer the blaze. At.
o‘clock the flames were under control;

The wall paper was practically all

whole stock was wet down thoroughly.
? Fortunately the stock in the cellar was
little damaged and the building was
not injured to any great extent. The
quick work of the firemen prevented

and confined the flames to the front
