escape on Wednesday from destruc-
tive fire in bis green houses on South
Queen street. He placed lamp in a
brooder to warm it up for the reception
of hatch of young chicks and went to
meeting. When he returned smoke
was issuing from the roof of the lower
division of the green house where the
vioets were bedded. By some means
the lamp had set fire to the board lin
ing of the wall which was double and
flied in with saw dust A number of
young men soon gathered at the scene
of the fire and by knocking off several
boards, breaking few lights of glass
and pouring water on the fire 1t was
soon extinguised A dense smoke filled
the violet department. which killed
the bloom of the vio!ets Immediately.
