discovered until It had made considerable
headway. Mr.. Turner, one OF the tOp.fillers
was the first 10 discover il, and at once gave
the alarm, being obliged to make his way
through the burning room In order TO do so.
His escape from the bridge leading TO the
cupola was made by means OF rope thrown
to him from below. The fire burned all the
woodwork In the hosting house, there being
no means at hand 10 extinguiSh It. The
damage Is estimated.at $500 or $500, and will
take several weeks TO repair. The furnace
was blown out last night, and will not be put
in blast again until the damaged elevator Is
repaired. The fire drew large crowd OF
spectators, who were powerless to arrest the
