Almost.

a about 2 o'clock this morning Mr.
Harrling, photographer, WHO sleeps in
his gallery over w. G. Healy's store,
was awakened by the smell of burn
ing woOlen goods. Nain!y trying to
go to sleep, lie at last got up and dis
covered that the smoke came from
the store room below, occupied by Mr..
Rubin as a clothing and notion store.
Mr.. Harrling at once went to the Bo-
CERT House, which is the next building
east of the store, and woke up Mr.. Ru
bin, as well as the rest of the boarders.
On opening the store door a dense
smoke poured out rendering an en-
trance almost impossible. Water WAS
at once procured. when it was discOv-
cred that the fire had originated in a
pile of woOlen goods, notions, etc, on
a counter at the west side Of the store,
and had burned a lot af silk handler-
chiefs, hose, etc., hanging on a line
Immediately above the counter. All
the goods on the counter, to the amount
of from $3.50 to 5000 worth, were
burned, and great holes burned III the
solid, hard wood plank. The cause of
the fire is not known, and the only
theory advanced is that it may have
resulted from the careless laying down
of cigar stub on the counter by some
one in the store during the evening.
The stock was insured by an agent or
agents in New York. When we say "al-
most" the escape of Mr. Harrling from
sufiocation, and the consequent failure
to discover the fire in time to save the
building, and perhaps all the buildings
on that side of the street, looms up be-
fore us, and we are happy to note the
small loss of property where almost
confiagration was inaugurated. Then
we are impatient to have the Goystery
of the origin of the fire explained, as
we stand appalled, at the narrow escape
of perhaps the whole business portion
of the Borough. Above the counter
was pile of cotton batten, which the
eager flames were anxious to taste.
But we stop right here, thankful that
it is no worse.
