hose was put in use, and the supply was
very short the cold weather having rem

The fire started in the top story Of the
building, where a large quantity of build
FRS tar paper was stored. This was great
food for the flames, and the smoke was 50

considerably impeded.
The firemen could not hold their hose to
the best advantage because of half frozen
hands and worn out energies; besides, the
building was so high that any attempts to
force a stream to the top floor were futile.

The fire gained the upper hand, and at s

its usual order and contained nothing that
could explain the matter. Several letters
that Mr.. Olyphant had received at noon lay
neatly piled on a table I'm the center Of the
