attributed the fact that the fire was not an
extensive cOuflagration, as the water supply
is inadequate and the facilities for reaching
the heights difficult.
On Tuesday five or six new hydrants were
placed in this section cf the city, but the

The Ashbury Heights residents are bitter
against what they term this outrage, and
say that after the discovery of the fire on

police officer turned IN the alarm, showing
a lack of police as we'll as fire facilities.

realized their perilous position. and rushed
wildly to the doors TO make their escape.
Several succeeded in jumping from the
car.
The gripman was unable to pick up the
rope and get the car over the crossing in
time to prevent the collision.
The horse dashed blndly onward, trailing
the remnants Of the broken cart and shafts

car with terrific force. Its head went
through one of the windows. scattering
fragments of broken glass in all directions

The point OF the shaft passed through the
heavy paneling of the car and penetrated
the interior, striking Miss Kitty Browne of

in the left side. Fortunately she escaped
with few slight bruises, while. strange TO
say, no one was injured by the flying pieces
Of glass.
