FIRE 1ESTERDAf.-ADouI nau'p IL
A, NJ. yesterday an alarm of fire was sounded
from Box No. 10, located at Seventh and n
streets. The Fire Department at that time
were in the procession, and the alarm from
the Fiftn-street Engine-house was not heard
immediately. The whistle on the Water
Works building did not blow as is the usual
custom. The. department, as soon as they
were notified of the fire, responded
promptly. When they arrived at the
scene of the coDfagration they found
three frame buildings burning on the south
side Of N street, between Fifth and Sixth.
When the department reached the fire they
found that the water supply was insufficient.
The general supposition Is that the engineer
was not at his post. either to sound the whistle
alarm or furnish the necessary water for the
occasion Two OF the houses belonged to
o. II. Wing, and were insured for S1.700.
The other building, belonging to George Gen.
SHEA, was not insured. Three of the fremen
fell from one of the burning buildings, but
fortunately were not injured.
