FIRE IN CANAL sTREET-Loss $500.

At seven O'Clock last evening fire was discovered
In the basement OF the ave story brick building No.
100 Canal street, occupied by j. W. Hamburger as
furniture mandatory. Owing to the light and
combustible nature Of the contents Of the struc-
ture and the fact that the flames had
originated in the basement, and were, Of
course, burning upward 1t was considered neces-
sary to send out second alarm, which was
speedily done. This precautiOn, however, proved
to be unnecessary, as the engines which responded
to the first alarm kept the flames confined to the
locality where they originated until they were
finally and effectually eXtinguished
The damage to stock will probably amount to
$4,000 which amount Is ully covered by insurance
land, and other companies The building, owned
by John s. Giles, OF ia Canal street. was damaged
to the extent OF $500. The cause OF the fire is as
yet unknown.
