QUITE A FIRE
IN TIE RETAIL BUSINESS DISTRICT LASI
IVKNINa.
The Clothing Store Of Stsintsld BrcA On nam
Street. Scorchsd-fhs Loss and
the Insurance.

About twenty minutes OF nina O'CLOCK
last evening fire broke out In the Gel
lar of the building No. 1929 and llSl
Main street, occupied on the trst noor
by Steinfeld Bros, retail clothing mer-
chants, and on the second by the United
States recruiting agency. the third noor
being used as sleeping apartments. An
alarm was turned in from box No. "a,
at the corner of Main and Twelfth
streets, and the department made re-
markedly quick time to the scene.
When the fireman arrived on
the ground smoke was pouring
from most of the windows In
front Of the house, as we'll as the rear
and for few minutes it was difficult to
locate the fire, ladder being erected TO
the roof in front, while the chemical en-
CINE and two hose streams were brought
into play from the private alley In the
rear. A short examination OF the prem
ises, however, showed that the fire was
in the cellar, and probably on the first
floor, in the rear, and stream OF water
was directed in at a rear window, while
the cellar was attacked at every avail
able opening. The firemen were COM
PEELED to work at great disad-
vantage, and 1t was probably fif-
teen minutes before water could be
thrown where it would do the most
good, the blaze at one time showing
family through the floor near the rear
windows. BY half-past nine, however,
the blaze was entirely out, and an in
spection of the cellar showed that the
flames had their origin among lot OF
boxes and rubbish in the rear OF the GEL
lar. The cellar is quite shallow, and
the fire promptly took hold OF the joists
and flooring, and had there been a very
little more delay, the experience OF last
spring, at the Bon-Ton, would have
been repeated.
As it was, the damage to the building
is quite small, and will probably be COW
cred by hundred dollars. The stock
OF goods, amounting to something like
eight or ten thousand dollars, was quite
badly damaged by smoke, and the goods
In the west half Of the store were pretty
well wet down, making loss which, in
the opinion of the insurance men pres
emit, would reach something like twenty
per cent. on market value, possibly
more.
The building is owned by Henry
Jacobs, and is insured for $4,000 in the
Queen, of Liverpool. There may be
other policies on the house, but the
fact could not be ascertained last night.
1t is possible, however, that the Pea
body may have a risk. There is an in
surance of $4,000 on the stock, placed
through Joseph Emsheimer, and divided
as follows: Northern, of London, 81, 900;
Queen, Of Liverpool, $4,000; Scottish
Union and National, of Edinburg,
50, 900.
A very large crowd was attracted by
the fire, and the people persisted in
swarming all around the premises, de-
spite the efforts of the police. Street
car travel was stopped for about three
quarters Of an hour.
