plentifully besprinkled on Sunday night.

and barn cost him 5000, and that his furniture
and horse cost him 1926 more. His gross in

day, Mrs. Baer, the wife of Mr. Baer, pastry
cook at the Metropolitan, and Mrs. Faber. the

seven years of age.

lengths OF hose are needed, and when laid, the
hose is apt to burst under the enormous pres

been saved, as the fire had not gained sufficient
Roadway, when first discovered to have render
