At 1915 o'clock, p. NJ, yesterday, an
alarm Of fire was rung by the Court House
bell, The alarm was caused by the discov-
cry of fire in the upper story of the old
LAUNDRY" building. located at the top OF
Winthrop hill. Pals were at once procured
and an endeavor made to cxtinguish the
flames by citizens who had arrived. In five
minutes, however, the fire department came
to hand and commenced operations. The
FIRST stream upon the fire was obtained from
hose attached to the hydrant at the corner
of Winthrop and State streets. The steamer
"Cushnoc" came next aud the ''Atlantic" from
the east side followed suit. II required about
so minutes to finally subdue the blaze. The
upper story which had formerly been used as
dance hall, was occupied by j. W. Greeley
as paper box factory. A large quantity of
paper, boxes partially completed and other
material was lying about. This was
total loss, being completely deluged with
water In the lower story Mr.. Greeley
operated steam laundry. The equipments
OF this were not much damaged.
Mr.. Greeley's insurance is $500; loss, $500.
The building was not very seriously injured.
The flames worked between the walls on the
south side and charred the floor, seats and
window castings, in places. The damage
mostly resulted from water. Loss. $500 /;
Insured for $1,000. The flames are supposed
TO have originated around q glue pot which
had been left in the upper room when the
hands went to dinner. The lamp which
warmed the glue was said to have been ex-
nnguished at noon. There was no other
known way for the fire to catch.
