There were sleepy faces at breakfast

looked so forlorn. Please tell me; please,

The poor, lonely, bruised heart melted.

THE CAUSE.
The fire originated by trolley wire

posed to have occurred at the corner Of
Fourteenth and Cary streets. When the
two pieces Of heavily charged metal thus
came in contact with each other, the
network OF wires in the Central office
blazed mp suddenly and sparks begun to
fly up from the rubber switchboard. at
at which three or four operators were
working.
Flames rose a foot high. and as the
composition from which the switch
board is made is exceedingly intlam-
mable it looked as ii there would be
dangerous fire.
DEPARTMENT CALLED on.
