est difficulty the occupants could find the stairway,
being compelled TO grope their way about from room
to room. Gathering up such few articles Of clothing
as lay in their way, the family succeeded in making
their way TO the street, nearly suhocated.
Tho fire originated on the second floor, ab, the
center Of the building in some psntros. the doors OF
which being closed, some considerable time elapsed
before the Hame broke forth into the large front aud
rear rooms and hall. Had the family been ten min
utes later, they would oil have been suf,ca.ed With
out doubt. The hremen Of the district were quickly
on the ground but in consequence of the severity Of
the weather. como time elapsed before they could get
any water upon the fire. The upper part OF the build
ing was nearly destroyed by fire, and the lower part
greatly damaged by water.
The building belongs to tho Aston estate, and was
occupied by John Jacob Aston at the time OF his
death snd many years previous as dwelling.

o., 900. insured for 81 500 in tho Astor Insurance

81. Nicholas Insurance Company.
The occupants Of the basement sustain loss to the
amount Of between $500 and $500.
