Fire Last Evening.

Early last evening fire broke out in the four
story brick building known as the old Com
mercial House, corner of Fore and Cross
streets, and by the time the fremen arrived
the building was full of smoke but the flames
had not reached the roof. Capt. Ruby and
other firemen rushed into the building and
soon reached the third story, where the fire
originated. The smoke was so suffocatlng
that Capt. Ruby, unable to breathe, was
obliged to lie on the floor until a stream was
brought into the room. The fire was found
to have started In an nnoccupied room, the
door of which was locked when the fremen
arrived. The flames crept up between the
walls Of two rooms to the fourth story, but
they were extinguished with considerable
difficulty, before they broke out through the
roof The three upper stories of the building
are partly occupied by number of Irish
families and part of the first story is occu-
pied by the Portland Door, Sash and Blind
Company. Capt Ruby found a woman in a
room on the second floor nearly suffocated
with smoke. and, assisted by Officers Frank
and Eaton, he took her out Of the building.
A woman named Bridget Malta was badly
cut in the forehead with a piece of glass
which was knocked out of a window by fire
man. The damage to the building by fire is
slight, more harm having been done by water.
The Portland Door, Sash and Blind Compa-
ny's stock was damaged to some extent by
water but it is insured with Rollins & Adams.
The building is owned by Fl. N. Jose and is
insured. Chief Cloyes is of the opinion that
the fire was incendiary.

time the child was in fearful condition. and 1t
took three persons to hold her while being treat

which the friends slowly retired. The re-
mains were taken to Evergreen for inter-
ment. the pail bearers being Frederic W.
