INVESTIGATING THE FIRsT.AYE. ERE.

An investigation was begun by Fire Marshal
sheldon yesterday as to the cause of the tirst-ave
fenement-house fire sunday morning. Police
man John Graham testified that seeing smoke
coming from the house, he sent his slde-partner
Maurice Colgan to give the alarm and went to the
outside cellar steps and said to him. John,
this place is on fire." Humphrey answered Yes
there's a fire in my back Kitchen" and after that
he saw no more of Humphrey. lie said further that
he was in the house three four minutes before he
started to report to the station and that when he
left the place the fire was confined to the kitchen
f. II. Lumpuhl testified that Humphrey awak-
ened him by Knocking on his door. He took his
family down the stairs, and leaving them
in IN the cigar factory, returned to the
house, but was unable t., go up the stairs, as
on the upper floors crying Fire" He said that
when he left the house with his wife .and child
there were no policemen or citizens on the street.
When he returned he saw two or three policemen
and citizens and people at the windows The Fire
Marshal has never had any suspicion of arson, He
thinks that either the SCOT caught fire behind the
fire-board that Humphrey put live locals INTO SEINE
wooden vessel, or that kerosene lanp exploded.
