Fire iu Fluent Block.
At about quarter past two, while the fire was
raging fercely in the Savings Bank building the
cry was raised that there was fire me- ar the
City Building. A glance in that direction
revealed bright light over Fluent Block. 1t
was probably the reflection of the Savings Bank
fire, but the crowd supposed it was flames
issuing from the building and rushed to the spot
Singularly enough the reflection had directed
them Alright for in the lower story, in the back
part of Mr.. j. Graffams saloon, there was
flame, and it was ust]beginning to break out
of the rear windows. The fire alarm was
struck and two eng ines soon got on streams of
water. The flames were quickly subdued and
it was supposed the fire was all out.
Fifteen minutes after slight fame was seen
in the next.story and the cry was raised that
the Museum was on fire. An inspection of
that room revealed the fact that the fire had
crept up in the walls into room occu.

into the Museum. Hose were then
quickly carriedlup and stream got Cd, which
soon subdued the visible fame. But the
floor on the western side was very
hot, and there were indications that
that there was serious fire beneath If, and
the smoke was becoming so dense as to
make it probable that the firemen would soon
be driven out by it. Fire was also reported in
the story above. This was the situation ats

Up to that time Graffam's saloon had been
Quilted and much of his stock destroyed. He
estimated his loss at $500, and had an iusur.
ance of $1,000.
The room above which contained not much
of value had been drenched with water, but the
smoke was so dense it was impossible to see
how much damage the fire had done.
As soon as the fire was discovered Mr.. PEN
der, manager at the Museum, commenced car
rying out the company's property. Miss
Marsh's dresses valued at some $4,000, and her
diamonds were saved as also most of the
dresses of the other ladies. The gentlemen's
dressing room, which was ON the side where
the fire broke out was drsnehed aud the prop.

badly damaged, though to what extent could
not be learned
Mr.. Fender could give no estimate of the
loss, but it will probably be considerable
Fears were entertained that the fire could not
be controlled and that the whole building
might be destroyed, hut at half-past it was
announced that thelire was under control.
1t is impossible to estimate the damage The
building cost 100000 and the aggregate in
surance is said to be $4,000; $4,000 of this is in
a company represented by Rollins, Loring &
Adams, and $4,000 in company represented
by John E. Dow.
Miss Pike, milliner, commenced removing
her stock. She has an insurance of $1,000
Mrs. Bosworth had $4,000 worth of goods, but
did not know the amount OF insurance.
The building is owned by Mr.. j. NJ Fluent
and the city originally held a mortgage on it of
$4,000 under the building loan. The mortgage
was subsequently transferred to the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company and is now held by it,
The greater part of the damage is from water.
