Sergt. Killourhy, who discovered the
fire early yesterday morning in Simon's
clothing store on Barnard street said last
night that there is something very curious
about the fire. He saw smoke emerging
from the block, and having dismounted
was making a hOuse-t toulouse examination
When he reached SimOns store and looked
in he could see no trace of light or fire, but
his hand, accidentally coming in contact
with the glass panel of the door, he found it
so hot he ,uld not bear his hand upon it. He
then turned in the alarm. The timely d s.
covery of the fire in its incipient state saved
great loss TO q block in which there is much
inflammable goods. The singular thing
about the fire Sergt. Killourhy said was
that it burned SO long without any signs Of
flame, and yet emitted so much heat There
was no other sign of fire than tho heated
glass, and the officer would have passed on
and looked elsewhere for it had it not been
for his hand coming in contact with the
