The case was thoroughly investigated.

that the government had no case and
Wellman was discharged, and was

peared that the matter wal assuming

the agent said he would not abide by
the decision OF o commissioner, but
would in my event present the case to a

and 1888 E street northwest. The cause of the
fire is not known, but the flames were dis

arrived that regular fire alarm was turned in.
When the police arrived the fire had gained
the fire occurred is three-story structure, and
is separated from the front building by 30
foot yard. The building was filled with liquors
valued at about $50, COO. The fire started in the
rear of the building and the wines were stored
principally in the front of it, so the loss
was not great as if the stock
had been distributed through the building.
When the fre-engines arrived the firemen had
to go through long alley which caused
further loss of time, and before the water was
thrown on the building the flames had spread
to the upper floors and was bursting through
the roof. Before the firemen had the flames
under control the building had been badly
damaged and about 900 worth of wines had
been destroyed. The total loss is estimated at
about $4,000. The building is owned by ].
X. Hickey, and is fully insured. The liquors
were partially covered by Insurance. The fire
created some excitement because of its close
proximity to the National Theater, Ebbitt
House and Harris House, and attracted sew
