The alarm Of fire on Saturday morning, at half.
past four o'clock, was caused by fire issuing from
the ell of Mr.. Joseph E. Howard's dwelling house
on Chestnut street. A general alarm was sounded.
There being no available reservoir in the vicinity
of the fire, the steamer placed at the reservoir
corner of Sewall and Court streets, and the hose
stretched ,450 feet, through Sewall, Green
and Chestnut streets, to the fire. In doing this
valuable time was consumed and the small ell of
the house and stable were in ashes before water
could be got The two story main house was
saved, though in a badly damaged condition from
water and the rough usage of those who had
mistaken idea that in breaking windows, tearing
away blinds and wrenching stair rails from their
positions, they were doing acts for which future
generations would rise up and call them blessed.
As to the origin of the fire, Mr.. Howard had
arisen several times in the night, and at half past
one clock left kerosene lamp, burning, ON his
back stairs. When he was awakened, about four
o'clock, his sleeping room was filled with smoke,
