Yesterday morning at O'Clock, the big whistle
ct the factory sounded an alarm Of FIRE, and it was
soon found that the residence Of Mr.. /. NJ. Fur
bush on Northern avenue. Cushnoc heights, was
On FIRE. The FIRE caught on the ridgep9le OF the
east end Of the house, caused by sparks from the
chimney, there being roaring fire Of wood be-
low. Mr.. Frank Arnold, q near neighbor, and
member of Cushnoc Steamer Company saw the
flames and Immediately proceeded to the attic by
the way of the scuttle. Here with buckets Of
water, and the help OF the family end neighbors
who had gathered, he put out the fire, even after
i hal made its way into the attic. The fire de-
par:nent were promptly on the spot. but had their
.ervi ices been requhed they wonld have been com
pellcd to play through 1000 feet of hose, and il
would have been with great difficulty tia. they
could have got any water on the fire. Il is the
general opinion that had the FIRE in the large
building got fully under way, the most populous
part Of Cushnoc heights would have been wiped
out. As it was, but little damage was done.
