street, just below the Yellow Jacket
north dump, was discovered to be on
fire, and in n very short time nearly
the whole interior was in flames. The
alarm being sounded, the hose oompa-
MES Of our active Fire Department
were quickly on hand, and the water
being already In the pipes from the
reservoir, all they had to do was to
attach to the hydrants and turn the
streams loose into the burning build
ing. So effectually and theoretically
did they work that they soon flooded
out the fiery fiend and saved the house,
although at n time the entire inside
was filled with flames. which burst out
through the transom over the front door
and even almost burned through the
front gable. The fire Is thought to
have been caused through the careless
ness Of one Of the boarders lighting his
pipe In the kitchen. The match safe
was OIL the wall near the stove, imme-
diately over the wood box, and In rub
bling the matches he Is supposed to
have dropped some Of the fire among
the kindlinS in the wood box. At any
rate it is evident that the fire COM
menced close to the stove, In which
there had been no fire since supper.
The kitchen and two or three rooms
adjoining were completely Quilted out
and their contents totally destroyed,
there being no time to save anything.
Mrs. Henry herself. with her three
children, narrowly escaped with their
lives. All the furniture not des-
troyed was damaged. Doctor "a
briskie's room and the Others near the
front of the house were more or less
scorched and badly smoked. The she'll
Of the house is not very badly DAM
aged, the roof looking about as sound
us eve Mrs. Henry Is very unfortu-
nate. Her clearinghouse. on the site
of the present one, was destroyed by
the great Gold Hill fire of last July.
and now she Is burned ont again. With
a promptness worthy of all praise,
some Of our prominent citizens started
out this forenoon with subscription pa
pers for her relief, and we are gratified
to know that they are succeeding we'll.
Surely everybody car afford to con-
tribute in so worthy a relief, and we
hope the entire loss in every respect
will be made up to Mrs. Henry,
through the Kind aud willing assistance
Of her fellow citizens.
