ly destroyed by fire about 2 o'clock
last Monday morning. The Tribune
gives the following account of the con
flagration. 1t seemed as though the
flames took posse Ssion of the building
instantaneously, and the inmates be-
ing asleep, considerable lime elapsed
before they could he removed from
their apartments, m even then they
had to make their exit in a state Of
semi nudity. Mr.. C~avanaugh. Senior,
had tor a long time been partially par
alyzed and it is a wonder that he es-
capped as he did. OF course little could
be done in removing furniture aud
valuables, for the building being en-
tirely of wood, the flames spread so
rapidly that in a few minutes il was a
complete ruin. The firenen worked
| nobly, aud by their superhuman Ell
| forts saved the adjoining tenement
houses and confined the fire entirely
to where | starte |. In the bake-hou.o
we're over four tons of -four, all the
apparatus for the manufacture OF
crackers, worth at least 81 800, besides
quie u stock of canned fruits and 9th
or articles used i'm the business.
The building Ia insured for 80, 900.

ever IN the bakery after III O'Clock p.
NJ. the night before, while an officer
states that he saw a hot fire in the box
stove in the k%neading room as late a.
halt past M OIL Sunday morning, bat
surprising the boys at work he did not
lake any particular notice of the fact
and so reports conflict somewhat.
