Probably a Tramp

At about 20 o'clock, Sunday morning,
the fire alarm was rung in from box So, al
the corner of Sewall and Capitol streets,
but the alarm was not false one, as was
the case last Monday night at u 80.
The fire was in the shed of Joseph Ho-
mans dwelling on State street, next to the
Blaine residence. 1t was discovered by
Richard Fitzgerald, the chore boy, about I
O'Clock, when he came to the residence to
build the fires. He noticed smoke rising
and soon the flames burst up. Immediately
he ran over to the Blaine residence and
asked John Thompson, colored
servsnt, to assist him to extin-
guish the fire. Mr.. Holman was called
up and he had the garden hose
attached to the faucet iu the kitchen and
the boy climb up ladder with the nozzle.
BY little vigorous work the FIRE was un-
der control when the fire department ar
rived and but little damage resulted.
The circumstances would lead one to be-
lieve that a tramp must have been the cause
of the fire. Two ladders leaning agains.
the wall would furnish access to the upper
portion of the she /, where very rarely any
one had occasion to 60. Some rubbish had
been stored there and it would seem that
the tramp mnst have looked the premises
over, and decided it would be good chance
to seek shelter from the heavy rain, and
turned in. Perhap, when he walked in the
morning he lit his pipe and threw the match
to one side and it ignited with some mater
ial that smoldered for perhaps an hour.
There is nothing to lead one to believe it
was incendiary. Tramps will be provided
with lodging at the police station.
