The fire originated in the cupola on the roof,

wires are strung TO connect with the switchboard.
lie cause has not yet been definitely ascertained.
but the suppositon is that during the wet weather
now prevailing electric light wire became
heavy and sagged, rubbing across another wire
until the insulation became defective, thereby
starting a blaze which caught in the woodwork OF
the cupoa About 400 wires were burned and cut
out by the frcmen during their work, and the
only wires left available for service We're few
at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station, where
several telcgraphers detailed for duty.
The liremen in getting at the blaze were COM
relied TO cut a number of wires which were thrown
into the street below. Considerable damage was
done by water, which thoroughly saturated the
insulated wires, rendering them totally useless
until they became dry The operating room was
Hooded with water which aside from wetting tho
desks instruments and papers, did no serious dam
age None of the switchboards suffered from the
fire.
The fire was gotten under control by 30
o'clock and in about half an hour the wreckage
cleared away sufficiently to enable Manager
Marean and corps of assistants to begin the work
OF repair They went AZ once to the cGpola and
attempted - make connections with the largo
switchboard in the operating room, but progress
necessarily slow owing to the extreme dark
ncs on the roof of the building and the steady

The damage done, aside from the delay TO busi-
ness, is roughly estimated at between 800 and
500.

the company.
The Postal Telegraph Company furnishes the
only tcltgraphic outlet, and their wires were
crowded with news filed by the special correspond

For d time the telephone and electric light wires
running across the building affected, but
the trouble was soon remedied
