About IL o'clock Saturday night the
chimney in the tenement house occupied
by John Hill, in the rear of the Union
House, burned out, setting the wood work
on fire in one of the rooms, through which
it passed, igniting the curtain and the
carpet on the floor. Although the family
were sleeping in the adjoining room they
knew nothing of it until walked by one of
the police, who discovered the light. The
curtain was consumed and all the lights
of glass in the window we're broken by
the heat. Several pals of water were
required to extinguish the fire. The
timely discovery of it prevented what
must have been serious conhagration, as
the buildings are so closely connected in
that vicinity.
