"A Joiner Shop Burned-Slight Fire on
 Crown Street - HoSgson & Pettie's
 shops Damaged-The Losses.
 Yesterday morning about II o'clock an
 alarm of fire was given from the box corner
 Of Orchard and Sylvan avenue. The alarm
 was caused by fire which was discovered in
 shop owned by Robert w. O'ConnelI The
 shop was located in the rear of Robert
 O'Connells residence, Mo- 16 Orchard street,
 and at the time of the fire it's only occupant
 was William Healy, a joiner employed by
 Mir. O'Connell. The only account that Hea1y
 could give of the fire was that the flames sud-
 denly burst out in the rear of the shop on
 the side adjoining small barn. He tried to
 beat out the flames with board, but was obliged to leave the building on account of the rapid progress of the flames, leaving be hind him his hat and coat with chest of tools valued at $1OO. Healy said there had been no fire in the building for over an hour, and he could not account for the burn. ing in any way. The shop
 was totally destroyed owing to ! the combustible material that il ! contained. MT. O'Connell places his loss ! at $1 900, on which he has $500 in the Nor walk Fire Insurance company through Charles Wilson's agency. He had $500 or ! and material. He employed eight men, who with himself, lost all their tools. Adjoining \ the carpenter shop, which was forty feel ! long and twenty wide, small shed useG | as barn. This was partially destroyed, af was quantity of hay. Mr. O'ConnelI was down town at the time of the fire. The ! building contained about $500 worth of lum Der, which was all burned
 THE SECOND ALARM
 Shortly before o'clock an alarm was eiver ! from box 25, corner Church and Crowr streets. The fire department responded promptly, but it was some time before they could find the cause Of the alarm. It was finally ascertained that the trouble was at the residence of Dr. L. J. Sanford, No. 126 Grown street. The fire originated in the second story, and was occasioned by a gasllght that was placed in too close prox unity to a lace curtain. The fire was discoy, cred ln time to prevent spread of the flames. The curtain and lambrequin were de stroyed and the base board and carpet were considerably damaged before the fire was ex- tlngulshed. The loss is not over $50.
 THE THIRD ALARM.
 few minutes before o'clock last evening an alarm was given from box 26, corner of Union and Chapel streets. The fremen were again on hand promptly, and the hose was laid through Union street to the rear of the building corner of Union and Court streets, which is occupied by Hoggson & Pettis, die sinkers and letter cutters. The fire originated in the basement where was
 located the engine and japanning room. No one seemed to understand how the fire or1R1nate~, but 1t was probably occasioned by the oven where the japanned work is dried being overheated The flames burst out from front and rear and at one time seri- ous conhagration seemed imminent. The hremen, however, under the direction of Chief Hendrick were equal to the emergen cy, and soon after their arrival had several powerful streams pouring into the burning building. Before the fire was got under con trol, however, it was necessary to pour a good deal of water into the first story above the basement. The fire was finally extin. gu1shed and an examination revealed the fact
 that the building was not seriously damaged George Hotchkiss, who owned the building,
 was insured for $7,5OO, and Hoggson and
 Pettis were insured for $5, 800 on stock and
 fixtures, both being placed in North's agency.
 The entire loss on building. stock and fixtures
 will probably not exceed 1,5OO.
