ted Sunday morning in the china closet

House, corner Goth street and Madison
avenue, which quickly rushed up the
dumb waiter to the fourth story, and then

became panic stricken and were only
saved from death by being thrust on to
the roof Of an adjoining building. The
roof was entirely destroyed, but the
lower floors were not much burned.
The FIRE communicated by dumb waiter
to the frat floor, but all the stories were
deluged with water, including tho fourth
aud fifth, occupied by guests and dodgers,
and the third floor, occupied as re-
Ception room, parlor and library. The
restaurant In the second story and the
reading room and hall on the first
floor, and the kitchen and cellar were also
flooded. Pictures, &C., were removed from
The Art gallery, and the only work Of
ART destroyed was a picture Of the
soldiers burial ground Of Gettsburg. On

were badly damaged and some Of the fur
niture soaked, the billiard room and
theatre were not injured. The building
Ia owned by Leonard Jerome, who built
II In 1860 for his own occupation. In
1903 he leased Il to the Club al Sl7,50O
per annum, The conditions being that the
Club should insure the property for
100000. A clause In the lease provided
that In case Of a FIRE doing more than
$4,000 damage the lease should lapse.
The losses are estimated o. follows
On building, $4,000; on picture de-
stroyed, $1,000; on freScoing damagel,
5000; on stores, &C., $1,000; on furni.
ture and carpets, $1,000. The building

for $4,000, and the stores for 5000.
The policies expired on the lat Of May
next.
The officers Of the club meet at The club
house tomorrow, TO arrange with Jerome.
As the club has a building fund Of about
$4,000 II Is not improbable that the
members will decide 10 take advantage OF
the lapse and build new club house.
