Flames were discovered early last
evening resuing from a house on Thirty
first street, between Guernsey and Noble
streets, occupied by George Berry and
owned by the Widow Lebay. The de.
partment was promptly on hand, but
the house was Quilted before the flames
were subdued. The household goods
were removed, and the total loss is estl-
mated at 5000. The fire was caused by
q defective fue. About 10 o'clock the
flames broke out in the ruins and sur
rounding property being endangered
the department was again called out,
and this time the flames were thorough
ly quenched. t.5
About 8 o'clock Saturday morning
the residence Of Henry Thomas, the
chemist at the steel works, was almost
entirely destroyed by fire. The fire was
caused by q too strong flow Of natural
gas. The fire started on the second
floor, and the house being a frame
structure the flames spread rapidly. The
FIRE department responded, but owingto
difficulty in finding the water plug its
efforts were seriously hampered. The
house was badly Quilted. Most OF the
furniture and goods Of Mr.. Thomas in
the lower part Of the house were saved,
but all Of that in the second story, in
GLIDING 5000 cash that had been hid
under the carpet, was lost. Mr.Thomas'
loss will reach 5000 or 500, while the
damage to the house, which belongs to
Oliver T. Blackburn, is between $1,000
and 81, 200, water damaging the lower
story considerably. E5
