little stone building corner OF Z street
and Sutton Avenue, Virginia, was dis
covered to be on Gre inside. The alarm
was sounded, and as soon as q stream
could be got on, tho FIRE was extin-
guished. The interior and contents OF
the shop were destroyed (; nothing was

of tho streets, the only engines which
got to the FIRE were Virginia No. l and
Kn%ickerbocksr No. s, their houses
being near by. No. l got on "hrit
water" No. 2 rolled, but did not get
over City yards from her house before
the stiff, partially frozen mud was found
to be too much for the boys it took
them half an hour to get her back
again. Smith was insured for $4,000
in the Pacific Insurance Company, which
fully covors his loss, The FIRE was
probably tho work Of an incsndiary.
The basement under the shop was oceu-
pied BY Chinese. They say that about
3 o'clock they heard somebody carefully
walking about the floor overhead, and
shortly afterward heard the alarm OF
FIRE given.
