FIRE
BURNING OF THE SEVENTH AVENUE
HOUSE IN BRowNTowN.

About 2.30 o'clock this morning. the
Seventh Avenue House, situated in
Browntown, was discovered to be Oh fire.
The building was four stories high, and
was built of frame, and at the time of the
fire it was occupied by Mrs DR.. Brown,
her three soDs and two ladies. The fire
originated in the n. E. corner of the
building, and was discovered by Arthur
Brown, who was awakened by the smoke
in his room. Upon discovering that the
building was on fire, he Immediately
gave the alarm to the rest of the inmates
Of the house, and then proceeded to
awaken the neighbors. AS the fire origi-
mated in the upper story, it had to burn
downwards, and so slow was its progress
that the neighbors succeeded in removing
all the furniture. with the exception of a
small quantity in the third story. The
alarm was sounded in this city by the
striking of the City Hall bell and the
bell on the Water Witch engine house.
| The companies, after the alarm was sound
ed, were soon on the ground, but most of
them were unable to get into service
there being no tire-plugs near the burn
ing building. and the only water that
could be obtained was from ponds and
cisterns and they were soon emptied 1.-The
Delaware emptying two of them, and the
Water Witch drove up along side of the
building, and, cutting hole in the floor
pumped the cistern dry; they were then
ordered by the chief down to the w. &
W. r. r. round house, from which place
they forced the water to the Delaware
engine, and they in turn forced it upor
the fire. The Fame Hose succeeded in
getting plug long distance down the
pike, and forced the water to the Friend
ship. All of the above engines remained
upon the ground until after O'Clock thi
morning.
The origin of the fire is unknown, bu
it is supposed to have originated from ;
spark from a pipe used by one of the mel
who was engaged during the day in put
ling on a new tar roof. Strange as il
may seem the frames of the building are
still standing, while the inside of tn,
building has been completely burnedout
The building formerly belonged to the
late DIR. j. A. Brown, but was purchased
since his death, by George II. Brown, ont
Of his sons. The loss is not definitely
known, but house was insured for So 900
Mr.. Brown does not know as yet whethe
he will rebuild or not. ODE ".H

A Bold Intruder.

In the early part of last evening, a man
called at the house of Philip Quigley, No.
GIL King street, and asked of the ser
want girl who answered the ring, if Mr..
Quigley, was in, and being answered in
the affirmative he said that he would call
again a few minutes. The servant in
formed Mr.. Quigley of the strangers de-
cision, and supposing that it was some
one who wished to see him on business
awaited his return for some time, and
finding that the man came not, he left
the house, and Immediately afterwards
the man entered the house, and proceed
ed up stairs, where he ransacked the
bureau drawers in one of the rooms.
Shortly after the man had come into
the house one of Mr.. Quigley's sons came
in, and hearing noise upstairs inquired
what it was. Being informed by those
in the house that they did not know, he
started to go upstairs and ascertain who
it was. He was surprised to see man
rush down stairs and out into the street.
Before he recovered from his nome H.
tary surprise the man was lost in the
| darkness. Fortunately the bold intruder
did not obtain any booty for his trouble.
1t is thought that the man was hid be-
hind tree on the opp site side of the
street, and as soon as he saw Mr.. Quigley
| leave the house he went in, with the
| result as stated above.
