FIRE ON CHAPEL STREET.

Spontaneous Combustion Causes a
Fire in o. A. Dorman,s Printing
Objective Alarms Sent in-The
Loss About $500, Covered by In
surance.
Shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon the fire department was called to the
corner of Union and Chapel streets by an
alarm sent in from box 26. The fire was
discovered to be in the top story of the
Quinnipiac building. sos Chapel street,
occupied by o. A. Dorman, the printer
and photographer, whose Office is on the
ground floor of the same building. The
flames were discovered issuing from the
attic windows by boy named Gallagher,
who was passing by, and he notified
Charles MacGilvray, who at once turned
in the alarm from the box.
The flames spread rapidly and broke
out through the roof and windows: The
fire department responded promptly and
were soon hard at work, but owing to
the infammable material on hand and the
portion Of the city in which the fire o.
Cured it was deemed best to send in a
second alarm, and this was accordingly
done. It was but few moments before
the department had a number of streams
upon the fire and In consequence of the
herculean efforts of the fremen under the
able direction of Chief Kennedy the flames
were confined to the portion of the build
ing in which they originated and after a
short, sharp struggle were extinguished.
The fire originated in the attic of the
building, which was used by Mr.. Dorman
as storeroom, and was confined to this
room, but the premises of the occupants
of the building were all more or less dam
aged by water. The principal losers, with
the amount of loss in each instance, as
far as could be ascertained last evening.
were: o. A. Dorman, loss about 81 900:
J. NJ. Champion, $4,000; the Joyce Shoe
company, $4,000; g. w. Loomis, $500.
All the losses are fully covered by insnr-
anoe. The b:.ilding was erected by the
late ex Governor English. It was damaged
few hundred dollars.
After the fire was out and the 6remen
were letting down one of the ladders from
the roof Of the adjoining building the
ladder crashed into the plate glass win
dow of the confectionery store of Mrs. J..
M. Andrus, badly cracking 1t and causing
loss of about 500.
Immediately after the fire was under
control Messrs. Tuttle, Morehouse & Tay-
lor and Peck & Bishop each sent large
force Of men to the scene of the fire, and
by their efforts in sweeping out the water,
which was fast deluging the entire build
Ing, saved much valuable property from
damage. The IRE 10 supposed to have
