TORRENTS OF WATER,
Yet the Flames Continued to Play In
the Fischer Building.

A dangerous fire broke out this morning
about IL o'clock in the back building of the
establishment occupied by the dye works of
Anton Fischer 906 G street. Owing to the
location of the fire, in the heart of an i'm
portant block and the nearness of the rear
Of the buildings on 9th, F and G streets,
the outlook for time was serious For
tunately, the fremen We're able to confine
the hau,es to the portion of the back build
ing, which is about twelve feet square.
This was accomplished only with the great
est difficulty, as two barrels of benzine
were located there, and, in fact, the place
was known as the benZine house. Lines of
hose were run through the hallway of 9O6
9th street and from q street and from the
alley back of Masonic Temple, so that there
We're four great streams of water playing
in this small building. The water streamed
down the side walls and poured in great
sheets from the roof, and the firemen stood
in water above their knees, yet, in spite of
it all, the FIRE continued with a persistency
that was remarkable. At times the firemen
were obliged to beat a retreat to escape
from the intense heat. Finally, however
the flames were subdued., and the charred
timbers, blackened walls and pools of water
remained to tell the story of the struggle.
The main building was not injured, and
it is estimated that the entire damage will
not be more than $3.50, which is fully COW
cred by insurance. The origin of the fire is
attributed by Mr.. Fischer to the accident
Of one of the employees stepping on a match
mat was on the floor in the benzine house.
