1t Calls Out the Entire Department Early
This Morning.

The alarm turned in this morning at
at 1890 from box No. 2 was caused by
. blaze IN q barrel of waste paper and
excelsior IN the stairway to the base
ment in the rear of Wurzburg's jewelry
store on Canal street. The fire depart
ment was soon on the scene, but the
barrel Was taken out and the fire ex-
tInguished before any damage was
done. Residents in the arcade
were not long in getting out
as the big opera house fire
. few weeks since was fresh in their
minds. II is supposed that the fire
originated from q firecrscker having
been thrown into the barrel by the
boys who had begun early TO celebrate
