 A fire was discovered just before 7 o'clock last evening in the building occu- pied by E. M Roach as saloon on North Colony street. The alarm was sounded by the factory gongs and the fire department responded quickly. The fire seemed to be located in the attic, and soon streams of water were pouring into the building from both sides, and inside of ten minutes the fire was all cut, but the entire building was flooded. The upper story was occu- pied by James Heating, a moulder at Judd's. At the time the fire was discov- cred Mrs. Heating was calling on a neigh Dor down the street and there was nobody in the upper part of the house. The fire started in the stairway leading to the attic, but how it caught is not known. The roof of the building was badly burned, but the most damage elsewhere was done by water The building is owned by the heirs of the late James M. Kennedy and was under the charge of William Hassett, guardian.
 The building was insured for $2,400 in the agency of H. L. Davis, $1, 200 in the
 
 Phoenix of New York. E. M Roach has an insurance on his stock and fixtures of $500 in the Reading of Pennsylvania, and Heating has $500 on his furniture in the Hanover of New York, both in the seency of J. 0. Roach.
